derived from files of Mexican papers coming GOWN
to the 10Th ultimo:
On the 10Th the extra session Of Congress commenced
and was opened by President ARIsTA in an elaborate
speech in which he refers to the distracted state Of the
country the poverty the treasury and the necessity Of
harmony and wise counels avert the dangers which
menace the Republic After speaking Of the movement
Of the Legislature Of Vera Cruz and of the Mazaan and
Jaisco difficulties, President ARIsTA proceeds to touch
upon the Guadaajara movement, which he says placed
the federal institutions in imminent peril and forced him
TO appeal to the nearest States for Of and
money Against this movement he directed the energies
Of the State because he considered that its suppression
would necessarily lead to the fall of that Of Mazatan
The States did refuse their aid but unable 10
afford it, and notwithstanding that the Government d.
rected al its power against it, the insurgents gained
hope from other movements, and endeavorng 10
make it centre of Instruction. The President
says:
The alarming aspect which this revolution took de-
manded proporonae the danger and TO put
these practice the Government under the necessity
of awaiting itself Of the limited and last means in its
power"
The brigade of Gen. Uraga the troops of Jaisco and
other States, and Gen Minon, with part of those
Of Tehuanepec, have been to the theatre of the
movement and the Government awaits the result The
President adds
1.-THE seeds and elements Of this rebellion although
debitated sufficient to produce general conagra-
tioE if exterminated The General Government
has thus far been able resist them, though with
the efficacy it had hoped for, because ii could not
mand sufficient Among those it has used there
many that cannot be termed usual and ordinary and
Though all have been used to the last point in defence of
social order it finds itself unable preserve it and re-
mburse the funds which it has taken meet the honorary
engagements OF the Treasury and to necessities
which, if not cared for will weigh heavy upon the nation
This is the principal object for which you called
gether."
The President then recommends Congress to take into
consideration the situation of the frontier States now
to the savage and that they recognise the apostolic
delegate sent from Rome The following is all that is said
in regard to Tehuantepec
The great benefits which Mexico and the world ex-
pect to derive matter of consideration by the last
Congress- which enacted for its termination the decree of
the 18th of May The Government has neglected no
measure nor precauon of any kind to expedite its
cuton in such shall avoid the great difficulties
which surround it, without losing the advantages it
fers In this matter and to better conclusion
may have shown such sefdenia to subject to cen
sure from those who find in its course abandonment of
Its high prerogatives But looking only the and
sold interests OF the nation not wishing to expose to
contingencies affair that may hold within it the future
destiny Of the republic and in fact to do away with pre-
texts and close the mouths of the malicious the Govern
nent resigned itself determination the great
III called upon 10 MAKE, the hrst
EST oil which was the loss Of those Ministers who had
Yielded such great services to the country with indie
atigabe assiduy and ardent enthusiasm and probty
Exempt from reproach.'
With some further regrets on the loss of his Ministry
he President goes to say:
This business, which only the Government of Mexico
as right 10 discuss and which certain declarations by
hat OF the United States authorized to believe had
'een returned TO its natural centre has apparently as
umed new aspect in the Senate of the United States
where right has been asserted remove the question
rom It's proper ground No determination has been made
far and II is to be hoped they win take thas course
which reason and of justice would require The
anne body with transparent design has ordered the pub
lcaon Of the diplomatic correspondence the Tehuan-
pec question: but II is to be remarked that this which
las been published is not complete and the Government
order 10 resist its effects and in view that the seal of
secrecy has been broken by the United States and that
there IS no reason to preserve it in Mexico has directed
the publication not only Of the diplomatic negotiations
but Of every thing relative to the affair from its origin
that the people Of both countries may know ali, and in
this knowledge adopt reasonable course"
He says the labor is in an advanced state and they
will soon have the entire documents before them.
The question Of the deficit next touched and recon-
mended TO their consideration The freedom Of the press
IS thus spoken Of:
There is another cancerous sore which inoculates
with it Urulent matter every artery and the
ieicate bres of society," permitting nothing to be
ased destroying all that established weakening every
branch Of Government and menacng the very existence
II the republic nation, through the dscredt it
within and without"
The Press of Mexico attacks the President without
mercy, and it is somewhat remarkable that his speech
contains reference to the foreign affairs Of the Repub
ic, when French and Spanish men-of-war lying at
Vera Cruz TO enforce claims

parchment have been introducedone against the Minis
Ter Of Justice for having decreed the law Of the press
