On Monday afternoon the lover went TO well known

The New Orleans PieayuHs publishes the follow
ing communication, from the recent President Of
Mexico:
New ORLEANS, April 8, 1858.
To the Editor Of the Ns10 York HsrGLd-SIR: In q
number of your esteemed paper corresponding to
the Both of March last, have just seen an article
headed Mexico, and our relations with Mexico, "
as we'll as copy of letter in which certain pro-
iects are attributed to regarding Mexico in con-
neetion with Mr. Walker and several other persons.
Hitherto have abstained from answering any Of
the articles published in several newspapers of my
country and this Republic, even when unfsvorable
to nv name; but the imputstion made against me IN
the above named article of the Herald has charac-
ter of such extraordinary Importance, that am not
permitted to pass it by in silence.
1 must therefore, declare to you in most positive
terms that complete inaccurscy exists in the IN
formation given to you; that know neither Mr..
Walker nor any Of the persons mentioned; that
am entirely ignorant of their intentions, and that no
one has put upon me the offence fspeaking tome
of projects and arrangements inWhich no man OF my
principles can take part.
Allow me- moreover, Mr.. Editor, to express to you
nv hone that the enlightened press Of this country
will not cause sentiments of sorrow to be mixed up
in my mind with the gratitude 1 owe the American
people for the frank hospitality which have found
amongst them.
BE Kind enough, Mr.. Editor, to publish this short
manifestation in your paper, and believe me to re-
main, most respectfully, your Obedient servant,
Y. COMoEFoRT.

The managers of the conference upon the Kansas

yerv iudicious selection. Mr.. English will be
able. no doubt to state what his anti-LeeomPton
democratic associates require. It is rumored that
thew will be content with the assurances that false
returns shall not prevent the Free State candidates
for the State Legislature of Kansas from receiving
their certificates of election; in other words that
the Free State party shall have the control Of the
State government; and second that the right Of the
people of Kansas 70 alter their constitution when
thew please shall be distinctly admitted.
Both Of these points are generally considered IS
having been already conceded There may be some
difficulty, however, in obtaining such an amend
ment to the Senate bill will expressly provide for
them. The bill, as it stands, admits the right OF
the people to change their constitution, but dis
claims any design to interpret the meaning Of the
provisions Of the Kansas constitution

as the candidate for Governor. Several very sPir-
tied and strong Southern speeches we're made By
gentlemen from. all sections Of the State The
speeches were stronger than the resolutions passed,
Of which the following vas the most explicit;
"ResoIUs6, That we cordially approve Of the Ad.
ministration Of James Buchanan believing it to be
marked by ability, impartiality, and devotion to
the constitutional rights Of all sections Of the cOun
try and more especially do We endorse his position
in favor Of the immediate admission Of Kansas with

ure as essential to the quiet Of the country and an

ticket at the last Presidential election and Of
the ablest men in that State, has written letter
announcing his determination! hereafter to support
the administration Of Mr.. Buchanan. He says:
On all the national questions Mr.. Buchanan has
so far acted as the friends Of Mr.. Fillmore at the
South, or a great majority Of them would have de.
sired him to act had he been elected, and Mr. Blu.
chsnan having avoWed his determination to main

having given an earnest Of his sincerity By acts,
fearless and unequivooa in their character, think
it would be unwise, if not ungrateful in the people
of the South not to sustain him.

NEW GRANADA KNOCKUNG AT THE DOoR.-The
Attorney General Of New Granada, in submitting
the new federal constitution to the Congress of that
republic for its action, accompanied it by report
advocating the incorporation of New Granada into
the great American UniOn, under the same condi-
tions as the States already constituting confede-
racy, as a remedy for the difficulties under which
the country now labOrs. He argues the case, too,
quite ably, urging that annexation to the Union
will secure external protection for New Granada,
foster internal prosperity, and place it. generally
in the same condition as New York, Pennsylvania
and the other States of the cOnfederaoy.
