From Oar Owr Correspondent.

MEXICO, Sept. 10, 1856.
regret very much the temporary suspension OF
the trips of the Texas, as also does this whole
capital.
mentioned in my last letter that proposition
had been made in Congress TO defeat the new Con-
stituton by endeavorng to get that OF 1874 adopt
ed. Ths measure, 30 odiOus to all who desire to
see Mexico progress, was carried so far o. to be
referred TO Committee, but so much was said
against IT, and the fact Of the 54th article of the
new one being adopted-which is in open opposi-
ton to that Of 1024 because it suppresses the Sem
ate-renders it probable that the Committee will
hold on to it, and the affair may die on their hands
In the mean time the discussion and adoption OF the
articles tf The new Constitution is being continued.
They have now got to the Seth, almost half way,
and it is thought probable that il may be entirely
finished before the term allowed for report on that
Of 1924 be expired. If this can be done, think
the country is nearer being safe than ii the contrary
Should happen. The articles approved since last
date are the following. My last account Sas up to
Art II. ard Art IS follows for what purpose this
is don't know, except that the intermediate ones
are included Ia the batch which are from the COnstl-
tuition OF l-24 and are to be discussed in u body.
ART. 80. The facut-s or powers not expressly
granted by hs Constitution TO the Federal funcdona-
nee are understood TO be reserved to The States.
Articles 40, so, and 81, which treat of tern
tora division, were Withdrawn, and they are to be
replaced by he report of the grand special COM
nittee On this business.
AIT 81. THE suprerr power for the exercise there

adopted by II 10 81 and was hailed with great applause
by the galleries
"a. The Congress Of the Union shall be composed
OF Representatives al Ct whom shall be elected every
two year by Mexican citizens.
-. 1T ere shall lie one Representative for each
forty Thousand inhabitants.
g. For each proprietary Representative there shall
be one supernuInerary."
This Is all that has been DONE far, IN regard 10
the Constitution There bas been good deal OF
other business, however. The majority OF the
Committee on Territories have reported IN iavor OF
the upion of tie States Of NueeO Leon and Coa-
hula, SLd against the alteration Of the limits vi
DsTaugo and Zaca;ecas. Among other reports oi
committees there is one for holding Santa Anna
and his Minister of Finance, 0iassagarre, resp'n,
