From Our Own Correspondent.

This Government has determined, it appear. q
its course, and has taken another bold step. TIN
expelled the Bishop Of Puebls from the RspuSls.
This grew out of tho seizure Of the church prop
ert7.
You will recollect that the seizure Of the proporh
fthe church in the diocese ofPeblaw on account
Of the assistance, both pecunary aud otherwise
given by it to Hsro Tamariz in bis late atsemDs
to overthrow the Government The shop did not
deny giving money to Haro while in arms against
the Government, but be says he did 80 as toe
Government de Jaeto and as had been done before b.
the Church in similar csses. The Government
however, insisted to the Bishop that, as tie
church did not nor could not deny having used il
money in order to upset the former and thus deliver
the country again over to anarchy and the conten-
ton Of factions, it should be taken from the
Churchs hands and applied to the pay ment of the
expense incurred in putting down the attempt Of
Haro and prevent the reappropraton Of the same
to similar improper uses, and commenced and pro-
ceeded as have endeavored to keep you informed
up to last dates.
Discontent and hatred-but i'll concealed-oa
the Iart Of the Church, was the natural cbnso-
quence OF the seizure of this property, and thee
feelings have not been confined to the diocese u
Puebla but there they have been most prominent
The clergy both secular and regu ar, began their
opdeayOrs to excite the passions OF the people In
their sermons; this is what the press complain Of
most. Their dscOntented military partisaas CON-
menced to concentrate in Puebla and at length
even the Bishop ayaied himself of occasions to
illuminate anathemas from the pulpit against
the authorities and present order OF things. tie
was warned, but took no heed, and, in view OF all
this, the Government issued an order which ar.
rived at Puebla on the 10Th inst for the expulsion
of the said Bishop from the Republic, and to leave
the city of Puebla within the peremptOry term Of
three hours. This order was duly carried into Of
feet, and, escorted by "a hundred mounted drs-
goons, he left that city, accompanied by two Fran
ciscan frars for the port of Vera Cruz.
An endeayOr was made in consequence Oh TINS
act to excite the people to resistance, but me peo-
pie don't care nor much for anything, and tho at.
tempt did not succeed. One priest was arrested
in the act of distributing money to the populace.
and four others, engaged In similar acte. were
conveyed to prison, where they await their trial
before the civil authority. In general, order was
not disturbed. but strong guard paraded the
streets during several nights. Quiet still prevails.
The successor of the Bishop, immediately after
the leaving of the latter, formally demanded Of tho
Governor of the State the delivery unto him of tho
FIVE ecclesastics who had been arrested. but tho
Governor firmly refused on the ground that they
had been arrested in the act of endesyoring to
create a sediticn and must be tried BY the civil
authority for the ofense. These facts in relation
to the conduct of the clergy and the Bishop of
Puebla are. in general, not denied even by tho
opposition pyess and the Monitor and the Sigts
give the whole matter and place 1t in most for.
mdable light.
The taking possession of the aforesaid property
Of the church of Puebla is steadily being carried
into effect, and new decree has been issued BY tho
Governor of that State 1raconls for that purpose,
and the Monitor says that it has correct information
that in accordance with these DEGREES, and in con-
sequence of resistaI ce on the part ofhe clergy 70
give this property up, it is being taken by force.
Those who have hired it, as also those who haveto
pay money on any account to the Church. have
been notified to pay the same to the Government
Persons having possession OF any real estase s.s
required, under penalty Of being Immediately a,S
possessed Of it, to give an exact account OF tno
amount they pay, and any concealment in the mat
ter renders them liable to punishment

Mesilla money, that by Rafael Of 1000, and the
contract for Swiss troops by Pacheco The Con-
mittee to whom the matter respecting the military

the matters proper for revision, and if this report
adopted the other Committee reports on them ~
