DISPERSION OF THE MEXICAN CON-



The New Orleans Picayune of the 9th in
stans contains the suboined particulars of the dis
persion of the Mexican Congress, of which we
had telegraphic report a few days ago:
President Cevallos made coup d'etat on the
night of the 10Th, closing la Cromwell, the ses-
sons of the Congress which had shortly before
placed him in power. We translate from the
Siglo Deiz y Neuue the following account of the
affair:
Fifteen days since the Chamber of Deputies
elected Juan B. Cevaos President all interim of
the Republic and fifteen days since he swore to
maintain the constitution AS soon as Minis
try was formed the Government was invested with
dictatorial powers, delegated by Congress- which
could in nowise embarrass the course of the Go.
vernment.
ebay before yesterday rumors were circulated
that the Government intended to pronounce. The
Ministry informed the Chambers that it was
preparing the draft of a bill which was to save
the country. Yesterday Senior Fuentes resigned
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The portfolio
was offered to Senior Monies. who declined it.
The chief clerk sent ,othe Chamber draft of
bill, follows
cart. 1. Convoking National Convention.
sArt. 2. To meet in Mexico on the 18th of
June.
cart. g. Government TO give it report OF its
acts on the first day of the session.
''Art. 4. No: to remain in session more than
one year, to reform the constitution, elect Pre-
sident ad Interim and exercise legislative pow
ers.
"Art. s. Governors of States to order election
of representatives.
'sCongress went into secret session and agreed
to sit till the bill was disposed of. Committee on
it reported at half past six against the bill, and
| recommended it 10 be sent to the committee on
| grand Jury. This was carried, and this commit
| tee p oceeded to take the declaration of Presi-
dent Cevallos, in order to present an accusation
against him of intriguing against the constitution.
! The President refused to answer denying the
authority Of Congress to impeach him.
Congress continued its session amid the
greatest excitement. Fhe palace, meanwhile,
was filled with the military. Ammunition was
sent to the barracks, and several points reinforc-
ed, and it was arranged that the garrison should
pronounce against the Congress.
"lhe Ministers said there was nothing far
but every one knew what was going on. The
members OF Congress remained in their seats
AT half past 10 Don Tomas Marin, who had so
lately run away from Vera Cruz, came to the hall
dressed in citizens dress and followed by one
hundred soldiers of the National Guard. and
seized the avenues and doors, and called the
| President of the Chamber out.

whose sister had been seduced by Peters. 1t is
said that Baird was in California when the news

every entreaty to induce him to make the only

he would marry her. When this was refused,
Baird drew his pistol and shot the seducer with

HALE, OF New HAMPsHIRE.--In that rather
dangerous debating club called the U. S. Senate.
the loss of Jack Hale will be public calamity,

goes for Canada and Nova Scotia. When Cass
goes for Intervention against Austria, Hales goes
for Intervention for Ireland. Hale eongates
Glass; and dilates him IN ertremis Hale never
is in opposition, but always in extension. Cass
lays down principle, Hales carries it out; Cass
limited the other day, that Hae's role was on the
theatre. Hale retorted, in substance. that if
Cass would introduce comedy and tragedy to
waste time in the Senate, he (H.) could not leave
all the acting to Cass. Some Senators thirst for
liberty everywhere. Hale says abolish slavery
first at home. The advice makes some men
think in what glass houses they live, aud so
makes them cautious about throwing stones
abroad. Upon the whole Hale is great con
servator, by being great Destructionist. His
loss from the Senate, I have come to the con-
clusion, will be a serious loss to the country
His place iE certain sort of talent, cannot be
