We are on the verge Of an inevitable crisis. One

In the other half mems minds are powerfully sx-
cited Climare Rebolledo, who, several months
ago, raised the standard Of revolt with impunity,
in the the State Of Vera Cruz, has just been driven
from the Ta)apa suburbs; but the government MAS
obliged TO compromise with the insurgents who had
rallied around him at Cordova and in the neigh
borhood. Nazatlan, after . vigorous but bloody
struggle, has thrown off the brutal and despcsc
yoke Of the Governor Of the State Of Sinalya, sad
has declared itself separate territory. A reyoa-
tion in Gnadalajara has madea radical change in its
government in the short space Of an hour. Tho
news Of rising in Michoacan is expected hourly.
Fears are en.ertsined for Gusnajuato. Anxiety
prevails respecting Puebla. The Governor Of Chi
hnshua is closely watched. Jesus Cardenas, the
former Governor Of Tamaulipls seems to be pre-
pairing coSp d tiat, and the garrison Of Mexico -
constantly en- the qwi vice. This is what ia termed
the Mexican "Union," ana the nameless anomaly

consideration which is said to have had much
weight with NJ. Ramirez.
The ne wspapers have been recently engrossed with
discussion the eleventh article Of the treaty Of
GuadalOupe, and a letter published in the HERALD
in the early part of July. One of your correspon-
dents writing to you from Mexico 9th June, pre-
tends that the proposal to repeal tn eleventh article
Of in consideration OF an indemnity OF SIX
millions OF dollars, came originally from General
Arista. The Constitutional denied the truth Of the
statement, and was right, for your correspondent
had been misinformed but the offi,ial organ went
further and asserted that General Arista never had
the slightest intention OF entertaining such pro-
posal, which is contrary to the fact.
II was, in truth, Mr.. Letcher who first suggested
to the Mexican government the expediency Of repeal
ing the eleventh article of the Guadalupe treaty.
His offer was small too small, indeed NJ Ramirez
asked six times the proposed, which, on the
other hand was too much, and so the parties sepa-
rated. and the negotiations thus broken off have
never been renewed
My letter viii probably leave VeYa Cruz in the
Nenuphar, in company with Mr.. Letcher, the cap
tain Of the Nepuphar having informed the Ameri-
can minister that he would wait for him till the
18th, and would engage TO land him at the mouth
of the Mississippi
lam informedtha letters fom New York have bean
re ciyed here stating that Garay and bis partners
have brought heavy charges against Mr. Letcasr,
for his having as they alege, refused TO advise ais
government 70 send feet to Goatzawaloos TO pro-
tect tae Iehuantepec concession. These Accusations
appear to me in the highest degree unjust. The
source from which they spring, indeed, shows them
to be in the worst possible taste.
