WASHINGTON. July 10, 1858.
Private letters received by the last mail from Next
CO, from high sources state that Mr. Otway the new
British Minister, had received directions from his
government to suspend relations with the Zuloaga
government, unless better disposition was evinced
towards making reparation for the claims OF British
subjects. This does not involve any action in rela
tion to the forced subscriptions TO the National Bank
as the news of this decree had not reached England.
1t is said that change in the Mexican Cabinet is
imminent, and he following combination is spoken
of as being probsble-ForegnA Affairs -Castillas Sau-
zas Formerly Minister Plenipotentary at Washing
ton, and lat ly same at London); Governmeut-Jose
Joaquin Pesado erich banker, poet, itteratear, Je.
suit and editor of the church periodical organ at the
capital); Fomento-Riode la Loza; Treasury-Gera;
War-Echesgaray; Justice-uncertain very.
The same letters state that Lerdode Tejada has
been compelled to take refuge from the persecution
of Zuloaga and his old enemies, the clergy, with Mr.
Forsyth.
Vidaurri has written letter to President Juarez,
at Vera Cruz saying that he will not rest until the
liberal government is firmly established in Mexico;
that he intends to fight his way to the capital and
ensure triumphant entrance o. Senior Juarez and
his ministers.
stuoious attempt is being made by some of your
city journals to misrepresent the position of our
government in these Mexican questions. The
opinion of the government is that the late DEGREES
of President Zuloaga, against which Mr.. Forsyth
protested, were simply DEGREES enforcing subscrip
tion to the stock OF a national bank, and that it
not tax in the true of the term. When taxes
are imposed no return is made to the taxpayer;
whereas, in this instance, the contributor receives
stock in national bank inreturn for the contnbu-
ton exacted Of him. Against this Mr.. Forsyth very
property protested, and the government has sup
ported his views and determined to close the Lee
cation.
Still later official news has been received here that
the besieging force at Guadalajara had been re-
pulsed and that the two commanders Of the federal
forces-Degollado and Zuazua-had commenced to
march, the first towards Colima and the last towards
San Luis Pstosi. Caravsjal, with force OF three
hundred had left Victoria for Zula for the purpose
of attacking a convoy of money on its way to Tam.
pco. Col. Sages federal army had been defeated in
FL vale Maiz, with the loss of ammunition and two
pieces of artillery. Ydaurr had not moved from
Monterey Cara had taken eight bars Of silver
eight thousand dollars-belongng to the English
Consul at Matamoros, which il is said had been de-
posted In the Custom House pending law suit
There is no intention of giving Gen. Robes, the
Mexican Minister, his passport, although Mr. For.
syth be recalled, unless be should demand it, or the
Zuloaga government, which he represents, should
fall.
II is understood that the government, in view Of
events Transporting the Pacific side Of the CONT
nent, and the necessity of cheaper travel for our
citizens are very DESTROYS that the Nicaragua Tran
sit route be opened. Should Joe White open it at
once, under the old Canal and Transit charter, no
doubt the administration will support him.
Mr.. Reed, our Minister In China, has forwarded
lengthy communication to the State Department on
the coole trade lie had addressed crcu ar to our
Consus In China against it, stating that in his belief
it was illegal and certainly against the instincts of
humanity. He had addressed also the Spanish Consul
TO the same effect 1t does not appear what course
he had taken as 20 the British, who are engaged
most extensively in the trade. lie attaches Stats
