A circular has been issued to the Governors of
the different States by the General Government
recurring them to make out statement of s the
prop.rty of corporations transferred under the
law of 25th June last (cslled the law-Lerdo, from
It's autbor) and OF that which remains unsppropri
ated so that the GOverneDt may take the proper
measures to have the said law complied with.
I he papers report that a great deal of this prop
erty has been transferred 10 individuals, but |
think il is exaggerated learn from reliable
source that up 10 the present only twenty four
houses and lots in this city baee been sold under
that law. But the Government is determined to
see il put into full force.

The bouse of Mr.. Gomez Farias, at Mixcoac, a

Melada, a small village in the State of San Luis
POtOsi, was entered and plundered a short time
since by sn armed band of robbers. Several per-
sons were murdered and many more wounded.
On account of the revolt at Vagrau, on the
Rio Granoe frontier Mr.. Gomez introduced
proposition in Congress to reform the organic
statute Issued 81 me time since and for uniting the
States of NuevO Leon and COahuila. 1t was refer
red to Committee. This was done to pacify Mr..

There has been a revolt in Sonora, and the Gov
ernor appointed by this General Government has
been displaced, as also have been various of the
other State and municipal authorities. The In-
dams still continue their depredatiOps there.
The case Of Barron, Forbes Il Co. has caused
lately great deal of uneasiness to the Mexican
Government and the matter has been discussed, l
understand, in the secret sessions of Congress- 1t
is now known for certain that the English Minister
has received instructions to demand the return to
Tepie of Mr.. Forbes and Mr. Barron, jr, the En-
glieh Consul there, and alsO due and formal apOl-
ogy for the nte erdictOn of their return to Tepc by
the Governor of the State of JaliscO. 1t is also
understood that heavy claim for damages will be
made.
This case has created great deal of interest
here, naturally and, carefully considered, appears
to be one Of singular oppression.
A revolt took place at TePc on the 18th OF
December last; as also did one about the same
time ia Guanajuato, on account of which nobody
was prOsecuted; and soon afterward Barron aud
Forbes left the place for the port of Marathon.
This revolt was laid to their charge, and their
return TO Tepic was prohibited by the Governor of
the State of Jalisco, and their expulsion from the
Republic as pernicious persons was asked of the
President by the said Governor, on account of a
petition of portion Of the inhabitants of the
town of Tepic.
The ground for the prohibition of the return of
these gentlemen, and the request tor their expul-
&l.. IA ex.I
in the petition of said inhabitants gotten up in the
heat of popular excitement, when the signers of
the said petition were not very capable of acting
from a correct judgment, and very many Of them
have since publicly declared that the facts stated
in the petition not true, that they never knew
the contents OF the same when they rigned it, and
that they thought and were told that their names
were solicited for quite another object.
After the prohibition of the return of Barron
and Forbes aid the request for their expulsion
from the Republic as perniciOus individuals, the
Governor OF JaliscO went to work to get testi
moDy under oath to substantiate the charges con.
tanned in the petition on which he had acted-snd
which, after so many had publicly retracted ne
doubtless thought was lot sufiicent-and did oo-
tain mass of testimony to be sure, aud has puo-
lished the same, or, he says, as much as bears on
the case (on his own side, perhaps) which must
contss-be Barron aid Forbes what they may
does not in the least prove one solitary charge
contained in said petition, nor give sufficient
ground for such action Us has been had against
them. This testimony is all hesrssy and is
founded on public rumOr, and shows how differ
emily people will talk under different circum'
stances, and also that the Governor Of Jallsco has
been entrapped into difficulty, and siven. great
annoy ance, beside causing great losses, quite un-
NECESSARILY, for which serious demands are now
made, aid perhaps his Government will have to
pay.
There has been great deal of unnecessary ana
