From the New ORLEANS fieaynne Of April27
FURTHER FROM MEXICO.

Our intelligence Mexico through various channels
comprises number of items Of considerable interest in ad
don to what We have already given.
The most importanto Of these scarcely believe to
be correct although it only be by strange mistake
that they for authority for them is not very
likely to be led into error and of unquesonable cred
bity.
One Of these is to the effect that very serious difficulties
had arisen between the Mexican government and nearly
the whole Of the diplomatic corpson what grounds We
have heard stated 1t might very pausby be imagined
that the Barron Forbes might have caused diff
Guilty with the United States and British minister's and that
an order issued with respect Spanish bonds may have
had similar effect with the Spanish minister 1t may also
be considered probable that the Sandman minister and
others from Catholic governments have been offended
by the determined pursued by President Comonor
towards the clergy Of Pueba The departure of the Sar
dnian minister from Mexico may, by some, be assumed
giving color the report that there difficulty be-
tween him and the governments but We have no informa
ton that such is the fact To such height however, is
the difficulty generally said to have gone that the report
alleges that all the foreign minister's with the exception Of
the representative OF Louis Napoleon, about to
ceye their passports The very suddenness and extremity
of such utterly improbable to that
could not doubt the runor though there
other grounds for doing These however We have The
Vera Cruz papers to the 22d nit do not contain
telegraph:c hint the effect do either the papers
the 7th letters to the 18TH from the capital say any
thing Of the kind although they do notice the subjects of
difficulty. On the contrary, private communication
we have received, dated the 10Th, says:
"Order reigns the republic. The bands OF dsaeced
10 the States OF Mexico and Michoacan have been
Something however, has just occurred which may
have important results The has ordered the
holders of bonds of the Spanish debt to deliver them up
they should give security for their value under pain of
embargo. The bonds surrendered by convention
equivalent a treaty 1t is feared that if this govern
does not yield just since il has right to act
10 this manner difficulties may arise between Spain and
Mexico
The which is alleged in the report for
the French minister having been exempted from the stated
general diplomatic difficulty appears to almost curousy
that he had received special instruc
tons time since to protect the Popes Nuncio 1t
could scarcely have been thought time ago that the
Nuneio would need protection in Mexico and he should
have needed it it is difficult to why that should pro-
tect the French minister from diplomatic difficulty.
