The proclamation of Gov. Lane, of New Mex.
leo, relative to the boundary, aud the reply of
Gov. Trias were taken to the city of Mexico in
eight and a half days by express. They had
caused much excitement. Gov. Triass reply TO
Gov. Lane takes the ground that the northern
boundary of chihuahua had formerly been much
farther north than at present; that the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo had removed it much farther
south; that if the territory claimed was dis
puted territory, it had been always in peaceful
possession OF Mexico; that the argument that the
respective Governments are not bound by the
proceedings of the Boundary Commission is falla-
cious and that besides having been for time i'm
memorial in possession of Mexico. it is now in
habited by people who emgrated there from Now
Mexico becausee they wished to continue Next
cans. He says further, that even if some of the
people did wish to change the sovereignty of the
soil, they had no right to do it, and that so far
as protection from the Indians is concerned, the
Mexican Government has done at least as much
as the United States had done. Gov. Tras con-
cludes by asking Gov. Lane if he has the power
to declare war.
l. had been rumored in Mexico that a body of
Mexican troops sent out by Gov. Trias had been
defeated by Col Kern. This rumor was subse-
quenty contradicted, and the Mexican papers
state that Judge Conkling had given the Presi-
dent assurances that the United States Govern
ment would disclam Gov. Lanes act.
1t was SAID that Gen. Uraga had sent in his re-
signation of his commission and would leave the
army defutively. He had been transferred from
the mission to Spain to that of Prussia, and Senior
Vivo, late Mexican Consul at Havana had been
appointed to Spain. Senior Vivo has been many
years Mexican Consul at Havana, and accompa-
MED Santa Anna from that place on his late re
turn. His appointment to Spain would seem to
give some color to the rumors fan understanding
between Santa Anna and the Spanish Governs
ment.
The Mexican papers publish the contract en-
tered into by the State of Oalaca with the Soo
Company relative to their interest 10 the Tehu-

labor of free persons and cash. The company
gives further shares the of $50, 900, in
consideration of which the State agrees to settle
all local difficulties.
In the papers of the city of Mexico it stated
that Gen. Lombardni had discontinued the re
naming payments from the Tehuantspec Com
pany at the rate of 25 per cent 1t is also stated
