of the people.
The SsSiO says that the two and ! half mil.
lions recently paid over to the English creditors
of Mexico, were>baek dividends, and contend.
that all Government property, exported for the
payment ofthe national debt, or for other ma.
tional objects, never has and never should pay
an export tax.
At the commencement Of the past month,
the embargo on the commercial houses in Vera
Cruz ceased by order of the General Gov.
eminent, and the bonds which those houses
had entered into for the payment Of certain
duties, We're discounted in the capital at per
cent.
The telegraph line between Mexico and
Vera Cruz had been finally completed, al-
though the correspondence between the two
points was still subject to frequent interrupt
lions.
The Siglo learns from positive AUTHORITY.
that the propositions for the opening of Tee
huantepec, made by Mr.. Sloo, have been
Withdrawn.
Speaking Of Tehuaniepec, the Siglo says,
the law Of the 18th Of May, on this subject,
well understood and executed, 10, 10 practice,
nothing more than an authority conceded to the
Government TO do nothing; and in theory il 10
restriction placed upon the natural and ordi-
nary faculties, which the Constitution ssd
laws give to the Governments. but there il
graver objection to this law. II provides that
IN all cases, natives shall be preferred in coz.
tracing for the building Of q road across tho
Isthmus, and the Sigio says thai the least Of
its inconyeniences is that which presenied itself
at the start, and which has completely shelved
it until now, Notwithstanding the reiterated
efforts of Senor Ramirez, the Minister Of Re-
lations.
The history of the affair 10 simple. Scarcely
had the law Of the l4ih of May been published
when two companies presented themselves
with propositions to open the road across tho
isthmus. One Of these was composed entire.
" Of natives. The other was q mixed com.
pany OF natives and foreigners. Sener RAM
rirez convoked the representatives on the 16sh
to hear their propositions, announcing that he
would give the contract to the best bidder, pre-
ferring the native company. The iattss, how.
ever, refused to bid. alleging that the Law gave
them the prefer ence as natives, that lbeir
ana that 10 no case would they eonsensio com.
plete with forsigners. Here wa1. IN obstacle
which Senior Ramirez could NOT remove with.

quences. II be despised the opposition Of the
natives, and accepted the Offers Of the mined
company, besides tho maiignsnt and o6sn-
sive imputstions which Tho psSs would seem to !.
authorize, he would be psrsecuted for an in. :
fraction Of the law; and u be awarded the pre-.
ference to the native company, without compe-
tiiion, he would be accused Of not having
secured the advantages which competition
would have given to fha a.natiOn. The Law was
therefore detective and doubtful, and 10 escape
it's risks Senor Ramirez had but one course 70
pursue, TO ask Congress TO 6x clear and pre-.
else ,ule for awarding the preference. This he
did the following day. bus Congress Adjourned
without taking any action in the matter. and
as the papers insnuate, 70 avoid the responsi.

During 4hese events, new bid was made,
THAT Of Mr.. Sioo, we suppose,J and shortly
after the native company stated that they ex.
pected to improve their resources, II the TO-
xernp,ent would give them time. According.
Is, says the Sigio, Senor Ramirez Suspended
proceedings, wiring directly to those con-
cerned, and urging them TO let him know their
resolution within fifteen days. The company
asked that the signing Of the co"tfsrt should

Ramirez 10 fear that this delay was granted
