The question of the Spanish protectorate in Mexico

has been casting ridicule npon the propositions; but
the organ Of government has taken no the subject

length.

these questions, from the tone Of public sentiment
at this time in this country Santa Anna has

on the subject by stgmatizing all as traitors who
have sanctioned any division Of territory. At the

say the best informed. Santa Anna has no love for
the Americans. He does not wish to see them in
the Aesla valley, nor on the Isthmus Of Tehuante
pee. The only project of American enterprise which
he favors Is the new mail route to California by the
way Of Vera Cruz and Acapulco. This has i'm
pressed him favoaby; and the Vice President Of that
company, Nh. Ramsey, having represented to the
Executive tina. the local authorities giving him
trouble by preventing the mails passing through
their cities at night, by OBTAINING employees until
they examined their passports, &c, the Pr lent

of the States on the route in which he expressed his
opinion very fsvorably This order after stating the
importance of the lines of steamers between New Or

Intend Company have procured to be established,

The chief Of the Post Office Department, General
Auaya, has also complimented In public letter this
company on their enterprise, and anticipates the
most favorable results from its establishment. As il
will, however, take two or three weeks to promul
gate these orders it has been feared that the first
successful trip for these mails between Vera Cruz
and Acapulco will not be m sde In the time estao
hsbed before the month Of September. The TIM
fixed is three days from port TO port; but the EN-.
poy say they drive il in less number Of hours
judging from the trials already made With the ami
mails now covering the route. As you are interested
in receiving the earliest intelligence from California,
am thus particular in describing the enterprise Of
this New York company.
