WASHINGTON Dec g. 1876

the news of treaty between the Government and
revolted forces Of Mexico on the Rio Grsnde, for,
simultaneously with the publication this morning,
the mail, though q day behind time, brought the
correspondence Of the Legations here, with full
details. Like the pronunciamientos and other doc.
uments Of the same people this arrangement is full
Of hieh-sounding words, meaning very little. Ten
articles are required to say that vidaurn shall re-
tain bis former position a. Governor Of New. Leon,
with slice Of jurisdiction over the adjoining State
Of COshuia; that COmonfort's General Rosas shall
withdraw, and that VidaurI shall receive -, 900 8
month for his local Government. The agreement
was signed on the Goth of November, and fuly pro-
claimed at Monterey on the Goth.
Those who are we'll informed regard ths con-
tract as of little value. Rosas seat to sabdue
the REBEL and any negotiation either proves his
inability to accomplish that object, or the necessity
for bis presence, bya greater exigency elsewhere.
The alleged ground Of vidaurris revolt was that
the State Of COahuila formed part Of his guber'
material Jurisdiction, which was denied BY the Cen
trail Government. Now, Saitillo and other parts
Of the State, which refused to unite in the move
ment are excluded from his authority. In one Of
the articles, Vidaurri binds himself to resign his
Office into the bands of the President Of the COun-
ell if desired by COmOnfort; that is TO say, he will
keep it until the Central Government can find
power enough to wrest il from him. Substsn-
italy, the arrangement ia mere sham on both
sides, exposing the weakness of each, although
much has been made oft, as in some degree quell-
ing the revolutionary spirit in Mexico.
Sclieitude is felt lin regard to the neat news di
rect from Mexico. Owing to the derangem0t of
the mail service between Vera Cruz and New-Or
leans the intelligence has been thrown out Of its reg
~ tIal AZ ix Ia
paDy holding that contract with large annual suo
sidy from the United States at fret put two steam
ers-the Orizaba aid Texas-tO make the SEMI
monthly communication. The Orizaba was re-
moved to the Pacific service upon the plea that the
Texas alone was was fully competent to fulfill the
engagement. She did perform it with regularity
until an inducement was offered to transport re-
cruits to Walker, when her place was substituted
with an inferior river boat by which the mails
have been deranged, and the travel turned toward
the British line by Havana. This is little less than
an imposition on the public, and it is excessively
annoying at this time when every mail may bring
important information. The revolution in Pueblo
-headed and organized under the Church lnil'l-
ence-at the last accounts threatened COmoniOrt
mole seriously than all the ether hctous demon
strations: and the success defeat of that attempt
has been considered here as likely to decide the
continuance or downfall of his power. The Isabel
will leave Havana the 10th, reaching Charleston
on the 18th inst. and will probably bring the re-
suit, if the BrtislAteamer from Vera Cruz should
make the connection.
1t was announced recently to our Minister at 81.
Petersburg, and intelligence 10 the same effect has
reached the foreign diplomats here, that Mr..
Stoeckl, long the Secretary of Legation to Mr..
Bodsco, and acting Charge dAfairs since his
death, will be appointed full Minister. A wish to
this effect was expressed on the part OF our Gov
eminent nearly a year ago and nothing but the
e ba iinln il
ponding to the fixed graduation of the military led
TO the delay After Mr.. Bodsco's death, the ap-
pointment is understood to have been rendered to
the present Russian Minister at Brazil, and de-
elined on account of i'll health. Just preceding
that time Mr.. Stoeck was about receiving place
of Consular General which would have been his
official resting place. But he called To act as
Charge, and there acquitted himself so well as to
override the severe discipline OF a service which
has allowed but few such interruptions 70 lneh
promotion This is the second occasion within
few wears when a Secretary of Legation has been
raised to full mission overeaPinS lne lht .,
mediate probation. Mr.. Webster asked Tor the
promotion of Mr.. Champion, and the Foreign Or
fee was too shrewd TO lose the chance OF putting
him under such an obligation.
Although the tone of the Message is pretty lofty
in re gard TO New Granada, no collision Il appre.
bended. fhe Minister, Gen. heran, conferred
very frankly with Mr. Morse before his departure,
and also with the Secretary of State, in regard to
the objects and terms of the special mission. In.
asuuch as the authority conferred on Heran did
not empower him to treat tor immediate adjustment
of the questions in controversy, and the outrages
were so gross and notorious TO admit OF no delay,
a commissioner was selected who might proceed
directly TO the spot and negotiate there, where
pretexts for delay could not be urged. MIR. Morse
was chosen because of friendly connections with
the Administration and for qualifications rarely to
be found in an American diplomat-of speaking
French and Spanish. There will be no great
difficulty about the indemnity point, although the
claims have been largely exaggerated. When MI
Corwine made his investigation, he opened the
commission to all parties who chose to TESTIFY, ana
several natives, who were spectators or partic-
pants in the riot, did give testimony. Ii was
proven that some of the property stolen on that
occasion was found hawked ABOUT for sale by the
police months afterward, thus establishing the
completely of the officials in the pillage, as well as
in the bloOdshed which previously ascertalned
The private claims for losses thus far put IN
range between three and four hundred thousand
doars Beside these, the names OF several claimants
have been presented without the amounts OF depre-

1t is believed here that this aggregate Of $6oo,Vo

their losses at all in the rough estimates submitted
