shces against Mexico also contains the order
lor MI. Forsyth to demand his passports. and

government is fully aware of the contents of

orders have been given by the United
states Government to take Senior Ainsa from
prison at Guaymas by force, and a United
states vessel has been detailed to attend 10

decision OF his Government. there was no dis
position on the part If the Mexican Govern
ment to accord with the views Of the United
States authorities on the contrary, the Mex
lcan Government refuses to give up Ainsa.
The better claSe of Mexicans are PRAYING
that something may grow out of the action
OF the Government of the United States that
hereafter the power Of the United States NAV
be felt throughout the country that it may
be exercised to save Mexico from utter de-
struction.- Wash. Union.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 16.-The Government
is waiting with intense anxiety the progress
OF events in Mexico, but no official data have
yet transpired which can justify an opinion
as to the results. Forsyth's conduct has not
been the result Of special instruction.
The CasS-Herran treaty is still under con-
sideration by the Cabinet. The result of
their deliberation will be submitted to the
Senate. Certain notifications will be recon-
mended.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept 16.-The Salt Lake Mail
to the Goth ult., has been received at St. Jo-
seph's. The Mormons continue to return
: from the South. Brigham Young keeps con-
r cealed, fearing vengeance from his WI peo-

u CHINA.-By a despatch received at st. Pc
tersburg on the goth of August, by a courier
who left China on the 9th of June, and who
= travelled overland from Tien Tain to St. Pc
: tersburg, we learn further of the particulars
I of the treaty of peace lately concluded be-
tween the emperor of China and the fou1
! christian powers. 1t will be seen by refer
y ence to the information mentioned above,
= that the terms of the treaty are of even more
Il consequence to the christian world than w
~ were led to expect by our previous intelli
~ gence. 1t appears that Russia has been in

and that the ports Of the Empire are to b.
thrown open to the trade and m O
all nations, while the establishment of Con
~ suls is admitted, as also the sending of DiplC
on matte agents to Pekin, if necessary. In tn
,r mean time, as might have been expected
-. France and England have obtained for them
selves a considerable pecuniary indemnity.
'u- The clause in the treaty, however, whic
lat will be considered Of paramount interest b
RI n large portion of the christian world, is tia
ne which grants to all christian nations the FL
and free exercise Of their religion.
AccIpENTs.-We regret to learn that o

Int off The freight train on the n. G. Road upo
of which he was riding. The train was runnin
very slow, and had almost stopped, when NJ

not caused by the motion of the train, b.
from the position Of his leg when he struC
the ground.
o Or the same afternoon, another gentlema
whose name we have not learned, had his lc
