MEXICO April 1851.
The Guerrero, long expected, has at lastariyed,
and the rejoicing among the intelligent ard better
classes is beyond belief ct the news she brings iu
The rejection Of the treaty by the United States.
At this time particularly it wae generally be-
keved beyond doubt that the American Govern
ment would willingly accept almost any proposi'
ton for the sake Of getting foothod upon MeA-
lean soil. But az the case now stands. 1t appears
the Mexican Government will accept almost any
proposition from the United States 70 enable u ~
have little loose change in the Treasury d. 'iio
when it is most required. II ioah cain"' W.
made. il will almost be deathblow 10 the 'oh
snfort Government in its struggle against the
violent opposition which has made itself appa-
rent among the clergy of Mexico. This oppo-
sition is increasing day by day, and il is gaining
.uch strength that longer delay TO mp this excite
ment in the bud on the part Of the Government may
prove dangerous In The McIicdn Extraordinary
An English paper published in this city, appears the
following in relation to the refusal of officials ana
employees in the different Government Offices to
take the required oath Of fidelity to the new Constr
tuition, which has now, by the almost uhaiiiinouS
voice of the people of Mexico, become the supreme
law of the land:
"The conduct of these officials, whose very sup
bort is derived from the Government maj hey mus
strive to overthrow IL condemned III 'ne SuongJae
terms by the entire Mexican press as well as the
eopr,e pursued by the clergy IN not only refusing 10
recognize the Constitution but also by npi0us ap-
peals from the pulpit to prejudice the ignorant mass
against II. -, .,...o.
IL warmly enlisted in favor of at least giving
fair trial TO Constitutional Government and
we are informed from high authority that 1t IL the IN
'op, In
fruness upon at lees the neutrality and outward re-
spect Of the entire clergy, from the highest official
down toward the Constitution and the Government
established under it; and If their position absolves
them from taking any active part III t0ror OF the pres
ept order Of tbngs their presence an ne country wW
not be tolerated. # they descend from their sphere and
take part against the Constitutional authorities.
Capt. j. G. B. Isham, formerly of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company has been residing here
during the last four months, and during that time he
has succeeded in procuring from the Mexican Govern
ment three grants, either of which is enough to IN
sure competency for himself. In these grants the
survey Of Sonora, in laying it out into countess APP
pears t. me the most valuable, for which he receives
One-third of all the Government land untenanted;
the second is for the navigation of the Mexican
coast from the head waters of the Gulf OF CaifOr
MIA to its western terminus for fifteen years with a
line of steamers; and the third is for the privilege
Of working the gusno island on the coast of Lower
California for which he pays the Government three
dollars per tun.
The great topic of conversation is the existing diff
fculties between Mexico and Spain. 1t is not be-
keved that Spain will carry out her designs against
this Republic, but, the contrary, is bullying and
clustering, thinking that Mexico will be scared into
any terms that Spain may dictate. Before she has
played the game out, Spain will find that her antag-
Onist is not 50 weak in money and men as was sup
posed. Already 1000 men are on the march Tor
Vera Cruz under command of Gen ZulOaga; other
regiments leave for TampicO in few days.
A change is probably to take place in the Minis
try. Senior Montez, now Minister of Relations,
goes to Rome; Senior Fuentes, now of the Treasury,
will take the post vacated by Senior Montez, aud
Senior Lerdo will resume his old post in the Treas
ury Department.
The British Legation will probably close their
doors tomorrow. The actual cause / do not
know. Nine days were given to the Mexican Gov
eminent by the Charge d'Afaircs to satisfy the de-
mands he had made and as seven of those nine have
expired leave you 70 imagine whether Mexico will
wait till the last moment to satisfy the demand, or
hold out with the expectation that the United States
will step in as mediator.
