WASHINGTON, Thursday, March 90, 1856.
Our accounts with Mexico will soon be squared
President Comonfort has withdrawn the protest
against the remaining million and half, and the
Treasury will disgorge whenever the vouchers
shall be properly presented. Mr.. Aspinwall is un-
derstood to be the fortunate recipient of this
closing installment. In order to obtain the ren-
auishment of the standing objection, it was neces
sary to accommodate Comonfort with loan Of
$500, 900, which may be considered in the nature
of a permanent investment. The same sort OF
lberality was practiced in the former case when
the other half of the installment was paid. Now
that the ten millions have turned over to Mexico,
it would be cOnsoling if anybody would take the
mains to demonstrate how much has been gained
on our side, or of what particular benefit this
money was to Mexico but to bolster up one tyrant
for time and to supplant him with Others only
inferior in capacity. Our Minister, Mr.. Gadsden
ia ready for another treaty, and does not lack en-
couragement in some quarters.

only practical suggestion made was to blockade
San Juan. That proposition was soon disposed OF

foreign and domestic commerce, by way OF vlndl-

serions difficulty in the way of interference by the
C;oyernment. is the fact that it never has rec0g-
nizea Walkers authority. The Transit Company
did do so and athoughitis is now for the tirst time
denied that Walker received assistance from tnat
