An ERRoR.--In our report Of the proceedings of

was represented as saying that members of the
Guard were not often active in the discharge Of
their duty" This was an error. Mr. Lloyd re
marked that the members of the. Guard might,
when posted for the night if they pleased, neglect
their duty. He therefore thought it well to allow
them gratuity for special vigilance"

Intelligence from Mexico.

The steamer Texas arrived at New Orleans
on the 1lth instant from Vera Cruz with in
telligence to the 9Th instant, and from the city
of Mexico to the 5th instant.
Geh. Gadsden, the United States Minister
to Mexico, came passenger on the Texas. as
did also Senior j. A. de Zayes, Minister from
Spain. -''-'
Congress is engaged in revising the acts of
the last administration of Santa Anna. some
OF these acts have been approved, but manv
annulled rumor existed that the Mesilia
valley treaty was under discussion, and was
to be abrogated. This seems not to be the
fact 1t came up In order as q measure of
Santa Annals government, without any inten-
ton to disturb it. -
The Bishop Of Puebla has addressed a long
Communication to the President to yindicate
his conduct in the revolution of Harory Ia.
maria. He admits of having loaned money.
but denies having aided in any other manner
to advance his cause. The reply of the Min.
lister OF Justice is singing, handling the Bish-
op without gloves, and showing most conclu-
sively that without the assistance of the clergy
there would have been no bloodshed.
Admiral German, of the La Pas expedition
to Lower California, has gone to the State of
Guerrero to confer with Gen. Alverez, but the
General has refused to hold any intercourse
with him In note to German he says, among
other things: "Abusing my name, you have
attempted to make me an object of ridicule in
gratuitously supposing that approved of the
expedition which you took to Lower California.
Such conduct is worthy of man who bears
upon him the base mark Of q flibuster
On the other hand, it is said that the American
Minister has peremptorily demanded the i'm.
mediate release Of the bark Rebecca Adams,
captured along with German and the Ameri-
cans.
Some important changes in the Ministry will
soon take place, Of which inform alton may be
expected by the next steamer. Gen. Parodi
is now acting Minister of w ar, as Gen. Yanez
has resigned. The utmost harmony exists in
the Cabinet, and the President is, at the
present time, in high favor with the people and
with Congress. There is to be no "let up''
against the clergy and military both are to
be thoroughly subjected to tho civil authority.
The decree Of President Alvarez Of last No.
vember, abolishing tho privileges (fusros) of
the church and military, came up last week
In Congress for ratification by that body This
decree is called here the law Of Juares, as
that Senior was the Minister of Justice who
signed and published it 1t was ratified all
but un animously. 1t takes away all civil and
criminal jurisdiction from military tribunals,
and all civil jurisdiction from the ecclesiasti-
cal courts, leaving only to the clergy cogni.
zance OF criminal cases against priests or other
rettg1osos. This law is crushing to the cleri-
cal and military aristecracy, heretofore triable
only by their peers in all cases, both as re-
CARDS crimes and property. .-..

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Inteliigeneer says Of the present statu

Of the enlistment question dispute;
alt is generally understood that our Gov
eminent received, on Saturday last, the an
gwer of Lord Clarendon to Mr.. Marcy's des-
patch of the 2Ssh December. in which he
summed up the argument of the American
side of the Recruitment dispute and rumor
assigns to the rejoinder Of the British Secre-
tsry an elaborateness equal to that which dis
tinguished the able paper Of the American
Secretary. Rumor adds, hkewise-we are
pleased to learn, but how truly we are, of
course, unable to say-that the reply of the
British Cabinet, while they decline acceding
to the American demand for the recall of Mr..
Champion, adduces mass of testimony not
before known to our Government, and a yari-
ETY. Of Calculating circumstances and facts
tending very much to mitigate the gravity of
the offence charged against the British Min
lster, and altogether presenting so softened a
view OF the case as to justify our Government
In not only not insisting on the expulsion of
the OFFENDING Minister, but accepting the ex
pressed regret Of the British Government for
its unintentional offence as a sufficient repars-
tion for the disrespectful act we have COM
planned Of
How far rumor is correct in assigning this
character to the answer Of Lord Clarendon we
are, as we have already said, unable to state.
But we can. with entire sincerity, express the
hope that his response may present such an
extenuation of the indecorum committed to-
wards our country and prove 80 far satisfac-
tory to our Government as to enable it, with
out derogation to itself, to remit the rigor of
the expiation demanded in the removal of the
Minister, and frankly to extend the hand of
reconciliation over this point of dissension at
least. p"
The editor also intimates that if Mr.. Cramp-
ton be dismissed, war may probably follow.
The Union criticises the speech on the Kan
sas question, delivered by Senator Sumner
yesterday, ridiculing it as but the effort of a
sophomore, ambitious of displaying out Of
place his acquaintance with clap trap classics
and his malignity against his opponents.
