grand ball was to have taken place in Mex
leo on the 9th ult., the anniversary Of Mexican
Independence, but in consequence Of some mis-
understanding between the Government and
the Corps Diplomattque it was postponed We
have received the first numbers Of a new weekly
journal, called the Mexican Economist, pub
lished in the English language, in the city of
Mexico. In this paper Of the 80th ult., we find
the following account Of the postponement OF
the anniversary ball
In our number of the 9th inst we mentioned that
splendid pail was to be given at the Lona the 9th
inst anniversary of the victorious army o the indepen
dence having entered the capital This ball, however
did not take place It suspended on the evening
ehe same of disagreeable
rences oy which the families invited and the members
the Lopja were the sufferers
The Corps Dplematique having been invited were ex-
IN uniform but having refused to do
the Government declined to attend the ball. and it was
suspended.
L. the mean time we only mention what is said in
public, and what will astonish European readers
that an old coat is at the bottom Of the whole story
The Diario Official says in regard to the
matter:
PUBLIC attention has been much occupied with the
current circumstance of the ball having taken place
when was to have been given by the propetors the
LoDa to celebrate the entry of the victorious army of
me Independence into the capitol We informed
that ~ the Minister of Foreign Affairs intends to
publish all that has passed the matter In the mean
time wishing that there may be no misunderstanding
relative to It we shall state that only feeling of honor
and national decorum, which undoubtedly BY mistake
the part of the Corps Dipomatioue was not recinro
Gated by them Obliged H s. H the General President to
reIran from being present at the said ball copse
quenty their Exceencies the Ministers and the other
employees OF the Supreme Government could not attend
ether Ths being known by the Directing Committee of
the Lona they resolved at the last hour that the ball
should not take place. This prudent measure deserves
praise, as well as che manner in which the Government
nas comPorted tseh IN this matter, which, being fully
made known to the public they will judge of the case &C.
corning to its merits and will approve of prudent and
dignihed conduct Of the Government which, above all
wishes that Mexico should be considered as sovereign
nation independent and in every thing equal to those of
the civilized worldu - -
The Economist thus describes the ceremonies
Of the anniversary celebration:
In the morning solemn mass was celebrated in the
ties Divine service ished the authorities proceeded
in procession to the Alameda where an Grafton was pr
nounced by Mr. Tagle After this the regiments Of the
guards marched out to Chapultepec where military
breakfast was laid out attended by H. s. H. the General
President his Minister'S and other authorities ID the
evening the whole city brilliantly illuminated and
presented splendid appearance .
There was rumor that aaplan had been
formed to make of the ball an occasion to de-
clare Santa Anna Emperor. It was also said
that one of the regiments had already pro-
claimed him Emperor, but were prevented from
carrying out their plans by the double opera
ton of o shower of rain and the refusal Of the
other regiments to join them.
