10 o'clock; however, ~ neTihsr wss blowing ses-
terday she could cot embark either passengers or
money.
To-day, the weather beirg fine, ap plica.ions were
u.s d. FROM al sides shis beng les day. Of which
this country has such lot that alone for this
sou there are NO. WORKING days enough left TO make
the money nc Lessary for the frolcs q these holi
6eys), TO allow the shipmtEs Of specis, which woad
have been done in half an hous, as all the specie
vas cleared through the custom house yesterday,
and the same guards who pass the luggage OF pas-
sepgers would emily have to compare the PACKAGES
vita the accompanying documeats. However. /. WAS
enough that !. vas an Amer an steamer for our
collector to refuse al THESE applications, aiding,
vish tie greatest impotence, that 70 the English
steamer be would under similar circumstances al
leg the embarkation solicited.
There you have q new proof hoe Americans are
treated, which, by the by IL tdeir faut. and the
paltYs reason he gives Is that he considers toe Or
Esba no mpil beat. This is worse than the Ofsnoe
ITSELF; for II shs il mail boat by has she other
privileges as such? Why does the Mexican govern.

The fact Is the steamer gOes and leaves money
and me- ehand,se behind. When will 0ur pc ope and
the government begin to FIND ont how we are treat
co by the so called Mexican nation? As for this
collector ne has been described tan times over, and
he certainly rejOces and gores in these petty acts
Of annoyance. He IL man OF the msauest class
man eespicable In every sense OF the word. As
collector he has ext0rted from the merchants by IL
legal seizures, fines not put dosn By the tariff.
and other unhsard Of Manguvres, the sum Of
ct least forty per cent for his share; and
this OF only at the expense Of the merchant, bu
also to the real loss of the government thanks to
barbarous laws-ma'e it appears exactly to suit hin,
for on seizure be pays so per cent dusy, where "a
the merchant would have pad 100 per cent As the
prosecuting attorney gets share, too, oy law-the
Judge being tool in their hands-you may consider
how easy the plundering system is followed u >, "a
the merchant IL entirely ct thor mercy. 1t Is too
painful q subject to dwell any longer on, and as
have nothing further to say but that the election ap
pears to 60 generally In favor of his Serene High
meas, as in duty bound, and that it appears that Mr.
Arrangoiz, who Is minister now at Washington, will
not be 20 for q long time KNOW NoTHNG.
The Collector, not saks6ed in stopping the vessel
from embasking money and mercnandiss today
even sent for the Captain OF the PORT to ask him b.
whose authority be allowed the vessel to clear at oil
on feast day. By the Collector she was, of c0urse
cleared yesterday, a. far as permits for embarking
were Concerned
