inform ed you In my last that important treaty
mad las effected bet Mexico and tha United
3aes and out Of which, think. will ayisc which
will greatly rebound 10 the advantage Of all those having
interests here.
The United Sateu has long desred crer into closer
commercial relations with Mexico but the Mexioans
could not be brought TO reasonable p,B the sub
jeot not but that they desired to liberal and progress.
sive-bus shey could not see tbirgs do. Now We
have sn opportunity consideration for the
dalton OF the proposed loxn 10 carry these measures
through. and there are attached to this treaty-
l. An arranyenen ent for reciprocity the ontler-lke
the Canadian.
q Twenty per cent reduction In favor or our produo
ons Manufactured or other, coming In our own vessels
g. Postal Convention, SO long desired.
A. An appropriation Of % 0o0 900 OF he money 10 the
payment Of claims asanlt Mexico, for which purpose
commission is TO be appointed.
s. As ralyo to English influence here, tho English
convert rtioral debt Il to bs paid from tho money.
All these points OF immense the United States
and che gets them fer doing merely what she ought 70 do
any wayassst her poor suffering neishbor. or course
there will be opposition to ths treaty as Washington but
It s ratified, 1t will be Of the greatest advantage 70 the
future Of bolh countries.
II the United States will only furnish this money II
will give sufficient strength and boldness the present
government 10 .. once suppress the iptrguss OF the
Church. and kill forever that pregnant Of
son and disovder any peace be expected here
until that 10 done.
For he last yesr this government has just barely been
able 70 keep itself alive One after the other pronun.
sanento' caued by tho clergy have sprung up Ill over
the country, occupying the attention and exhAusng the
resources Of the government m only had the strength
given to II from abroad 10 crush for this bapefu
nuetc would then have time to 90 on with and
sumate those great pans OF reor which have been
held out a. the basis Of the late revolution An which
she people here 10 much Iongea for Bnt DO not
how they eau do unless some assistance d given 10

This, however, Mexlco refuses do, and will rather
stand the st Of the hrc four months alone and
ssdcd, than mortgage foot OF territory. They have
since made another proposition 10 the United States,
which Is - folsws;-
That M,xco shall rec,ivc loan OF Hitsen millions OF

for TIE settlement Of American claims against Mexiso
and also CERTAIN amount for the settemeut Of Br

ceai, believe treaty Of reciprocity, similar to that
which exists between Canada and the United States to
apply, however, only TO the Mexican frontier postal
treaty, and reduction Of 20 per cent on her tariff In Ia
