position of communicating of the steamer

TEHuANTEPEc NEUTRALITY TREATY -
Amongst the speculations upon the possio'e
consequences of war with Mexico, much mas
been said upon the implications which may
arise under the treaty signed by Judge Conk-
ling, and now awaiting the action OF ths gov.
eminent. The guaranty of the neutrality of
the route laid down in the Sloo contract would
imply the neutrality of line drawn from the
terminal port Of Vera Cruz around the South
ern coast Of Mexico and across the isthmus
of Tehuaniepec. 1t is suggested, therefore,
that our vessels Of war could not enter the
pert of Vera Cruz with hostile Intentions, nor
could our troops cross the neutral line traced
around and across the southern territory OF
Mexico, without violation of the established
neutrality, aud consequently giving cause oil
war with those nations which shall have been
united in the guaranty.
Thus Mexico will, in advance, have thrown
around herself an impregnable enirenchmenl
TO that extent.
Another suggestion addresses itself to the
consideration of Americans who may be dis
posed to make investments in the line of steam
boats which, under the same confractis to con
duct the commerce. between Vera Cruz aDC
the Islhmus. AS this line of steamboats, is tt
be "under the Mexican flag" of course il will
be under Mexican Jurisdiction. In the even
of war, therefore, it will probably share the
fate Of any ether Mexican shipping and be
come lawful prize TO the U. s. ships of wa
or privateers.-JournH of Commerce.
