sbout 70 attack the Convent at San Francisco,
which was defended by Uraga in person with
. sfrong force Ii is, By some, reported Ina'
Minor was severely wounded, and that Gen
Vasouez had been killed, Both these reports
are. doubtless, false Should the Government
Eucceed against Guaealsjsra, believe II VIII I've
cafe. Another courier is hourly expected.
The ordinary session Of Congress was duly
spened this day. The President was, as usual,
calm and undisturbed, and delivered the Gus
tomary speech, bur il contains nothing OF inter-
eat. lie says, among other things, that
-luopz us social evils are organic. Everything sp-
csrs "a be reversed and heterogeneous are the races

we indls,inc;y accused, but the remedy docs nor

He states. also, that bis utmost desires have
been to maintain domestic peace. He has in.
creased the army, and paid, dressed and fed
them. That In all the troubles caused by the
present revolutions, there has not been, ON the
part Of the Government, a single act OF extor-
ton nor ofinjustice and it has acted in all things
worthy Of public confidence. That the Govern
ment bias, ON several occasions, applied TO Con-
rress for money, but il was refused it, and has
received this refusal with calmncss and resigns
ton. He concludes by calling on all to unite
against the spirit Of revolution
Santa Anna is expected by his friends Sew
.eral Commissioners will go by the British
steamer, via SantO Tomas, to Carthagena, to
bear to him the desires OF his party. They go
secretly and in disguise. IL is not generally
believed he will be 20 foolish as TO return.
The Commissioners ON the part Of our Gov
eminent went to the State Of San Luis PotOsi,
for the purpose Of investigating the truth or
falsity Of tie claim Of Gardiner, have returned
from their arduous labors. They will take
several witnesses with them TO Washington, in
addition "a those who went before. do not
know, positively, the nature Of the evidence OBJ
tanned by these Commissioners, but, j under
stand, that they are fully convinced Of the nom
existence OF any mine worked by Gardiner or
Mears.
Gardiner, with several Of his friends, win 60
from this Republic by British steamer.
A word respecting our Minister, Judge conck-
lin. A tow dayss(terI wrote You by Hast steamer,
che hag-ssaff wss@sken down from the house Of
Mr. Haryvla, and the archives and other prop
eSty Of the a. Legation wss scul0yed from
there, togetbef1iGsss. NJ Rich. Judge G.. un-
derstand slept at the Yeuse Of Mr. ii. for
voek alter bis arrival at hris city but now, at
~ eseDt,, he IL ostensibly ~ least, free from
: the sssyacion Of being immediately Influenced
~ Chat house.
In connection with this subject, hare 10
mention another fact, which is that the office Of
the u. s. Consal at Vera Cruz is in the house
Of Mr. IIaeous az that port, and it is be-
lleyed II is maintained at HIS expense The
present Consn is absent and understand he has
not been at his post month since he obtained
his appointment. 1t is high time he should at
tend " his duties in person, or give up his post
10 one WHO WILL or get Il faithful and capable
person to do 10, as bitter complaints are being
made at the practice of keeping the Consulate
where il now is, aud on account of his disoblig
ing behavior We have men among MS Ger
tainly, who know how 10 conduct themselves
when honored by the Government with un APP
pointment, and such ought 10 be selected.
The report Of the Committee Of the Cham
bers Of Deputies in favor of giving the privi-
lege of the right OF way across the istbmus of
Tehuantepcc To the Mexican Company of Guam
sjuato was put 10 vote, approved OF by that
Chamber and the bill passed some days ago. The
Senate also approved and passed the same by
considerable majority ON the 18th or 3Oth ult.
This question has, therefore, beenput at rest, as
Car as American companies are concerned, but
! may add that no person believes that the
Qua uato Co. will ever open this road.
/ had almost omitted 20 state that at the mo.
ment write the towers of all the Churches in
this city are filled with Government troops.
Therefore TIA outbreak is expected here, but
No one will converse about it.
The revolutionists still maintain their ground
in Durango, aud all the principal Offices of that
State have been taken possession ofby them.
Vera Cruz has declared the legality Of the
tariff OF the proHaaciGdOs, OF Tampie0, aud has
adopted the same.
A smart shock of AN earthquake Was felt in
this city at l0i o'clock, on Attn Dee, but no
damage was caused 10y it, The first motion
vas from east 20 west, aud Ia a few seconds
from north 10 south. Duration Is seconds.
The same was felt az Acapulco at "a the same
evening. Yours respectfully, Eo.
