England and Mexico.

An occasional correspondent OF the San
Francisco Buile'in,, writes from the city Of
Mexico under date of Sept 10th
"Thc probability is we are going to hays
a brush with England, or rather it is now
quite probable that England is going 10
rive Mexico drubbing. England says she
is diSguStrd with treating Mexico Ike a civ.
ilized uaton after resortng to every exped-
cut 10 get along with her as such, and ss
she has been unable to come to any other
concluSon by II close examination and com.
pnri,on Of the public acts OF the country.
than that Mexico deserves the same treat
meut as would be bestowed on band Of
bandits, she has determined to administer
the dose. Lord Clarendon has ordered. and
the British Charge d A flares here has hauled
dom his sign and flag, and closed the lcga-
ton, aud the Consul has closed his Offices
The cause Of this decisive step has q long
history.
First, the English Convention debt Sec
ondIy, the non-payment Of the interest Of
the London loan thirdly, various acts of
bad faith in obtaining money from English
capitalists for mining purposes, and the re-
fuSal of Mexico to grant redress and
fourthly aud cuIminatingly, the affair of
McSSrs Barron, Forbes & Co., in Tcpic.---
The last case brought England to the stick
ing point, and some time since she made
certain demand, of the Mexican Government
in relation to it, The Mexican Government,
true TO the character derived from its Span
l>h ancestors first treated the demand light
ly ; the Charge threatened to ask his pass
ports. when the Government equyocated.---
Ju-t at this time, Instructions were received
from the English Government that if the
demands were not acCcdcd to in such o man
urr, to suspend relations, and in pursuance
with orders, relations are suspended.
Orders were sent to Admiral Bruce some
time suce, to make himself convenient at
some point on the Paciiic---either San Fran
cisco or Panama, and we are in suspense
here to hear of his whereabouts. The same
day the legation closed, on the "a Of Sept
adyiccS left here for the squadron in the
Gulf of Mexico, and 10y this time the Adm-
raj has his advccs He is under direct or
dcrs from the government, and we arc
watching with interest to nee if he is to com
mcucc the blockade Of Vera Cruz immedi-
atcy. My opinion is his orders are not to
do so until the next ndyiccs from England
In the mean time the government Of Mcxi-
co.'s gong to send Gen. Am0ntc to England,
to see if that gentleman cannot settle the
matter quietly but it seems quite certain
that he will not be received under the cir
cumstancos. lie is, however, the best man
that could have been selected for the mission,
and if Mexico can be saved, he will undoubt-
edly do it,
The liabilities of Mexico to England now
exceed 100000 600 quite nice little
sum for II nation to pay that has no more
than few thousand in the national treasu-
ry, and who owes at this time au unpaid
army for TWO months.
The Government is now contemplating
descent on the estates Of the monks and
friars The time, hear, is fixed for the
9th September, or thereabouts Certain
it is that money has got to come from some
quarter or else all hands will be starved
out. Pobre M,pco'
