OUR INTERESTS IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


FROM MINISTER FORSYTH.
1t. r. Ap Catesby Jones, who brings important
dispatches from our Minister in Mexico arrived in
the city this morning.
Mr.. Forsyth states that the report of a recent
battle between Nidaurri and MiramOn rested upon
very slender basis. a skirmish may have taken
place outside of the walls of San Luis Potosi, but
nothing more Still less was there anv probability
that MiramOn had committed suicide.
The reports of the tyrannical behavior of the
Liberal party towards foreigners is confirmed
Americans and English had been thrown into pris-
on by Cara for contributing the forced loan
of 100000. \ few hours before Lieut. Jones left
Tampco, an American had been cast into prison,
and his goods, which were on their way to the inte
rior, conliscated.
When Mr.. FORSYTH wrote, both parties seem to be
inactive. Many of the principal Liberals entirely
dsapproved of the cocrse of Cara, in levying the
forced loan. All the sca-ports in possession of
the Liberals and they have to adopt the same
which our Government condemned in the Conser
vativcs. At Mr.. FOrsyth's request, the sloOp-of-
war Plymouth has gone up to Tampico to protect
our interests.
Gen. Robles was on board Spanish vessel-of-
war off Vera Cruz, and was not allowed any com
municatiOn with the land. The officers of the YES
sci had been detected in giving assistance to the
Conservatives
Lieut.. Jones also brings a letter from our consul
at San Luis POtos, who describes the state of the
country miserable in the extreme. An impress
sion seemed to prevail that large Spanish fleet
would soon be on the coast to demand redress.
Mr. Forsyth says that he will sail from Vera
Cruz for the United States on the 18th instStates.
A German mass meeting calledbv n committee of
the Arbiter Bund and of the Social Republic to in
augurate a new party was held in New York on
Wednesday evening. From 1900 to 2OO0 persons
were present. The following report of speeches
and resolutions is taken from the Hernid:
After the reading of letters of excuse from DR..
Pinster and citizen August Which, the President
introduced Victor Pelz. who addressed the meeting
in the following words:
Whenever something great and durable has been
achieved it was always the mass of the people who
worked it out; but whatever has been conceived or
done by the upper classes of society seldom or
er extended its influence to the lower orders Of the
people. The people alone by their honesty able
to oppose eficacious check to the corruption of
the politicians and their partisans. These latter do
not shrink before the most ignoble means for the
purpose of securing to themselves the spOils which
they know how to procure from the pockets of the
deuded people. Therefore, let us unite all our for
ces to oppose this encroaching corruption Of the
political parties, who have lost all sense Ofr9hteouS-
ness and honesty. Let us form a new party, COM
posed of the Independent and honest men among
our German brothers-a party Of true freedom,
enemy to all kinds of impostors-may they call
themselves politicians or priests. (Cheers and ap-
plause.
The next speaker introduced was Gustav Struve,
who after an enthusiastic and eloquent allocuton,
read the following resolutions
l. The meeting declare all and every party
democrats, nativists and republicans-as corrupt.
2. The latter lose all right to support on the part
of the friends of freedom account of their open
efforts to impair the political rights of the immi-
grated citizens
3. We do not see any other means of a7erting
political ruin from the naturaized citizens, and of
maintaining the principles Of the Declaration of In
dependence of l776, save by forming a party of
freedom and equality ofrights which keep aoof
from the corruption Of the existing parties.
Therefore, we insist on the following demands:
l. We demand full equality of rights for the
working people; he who makes his capital work for
himself is no longer to hold the rens government.
We are to break the chains by which monopoly
cnslaved labor. We are the enemies of all kinds of
scrvitude, and above all things of slavery, the worst
of all monopoies
2. We demand that the rights granted to the i'm
migrated portion of the inhabitants of the Union be
unimpaired, and that the legal term of naturaliza-
ton be shortened instead of being prolonged
,. We demand law in favor of the emigrants
during their stay on board of ships, and their pro-
lection against arbitrary treatment the part of
shipowners and captains
4. We demand a school organization really in
harmony with the wants of the people, the creation
of fpoytechnical and agricultural instructions and
of establishments OF creditwe organized and acces-
sible to the poorer classes.
5. We demand that the wants of the laboring
classes in the cities and in the country be taken
care of, that the Congress land be no longer dev-
cred up into the hands of land spectators and
usurers but accorded without any expense, to real
cooniss; that in the cities dwelling houses for the
working people be erected and leased out at the
mere rate of the interest for the capital laid out.
6. We demand that the religious liberty which is
secured to the people become truth; that the
church no longer enforce any arbitrary law as to
the sabbath celebration, or exercise any legitimate
influence over the State.
I. We demand a thorough reform of the admins
tration ofjustice, the dismissal and punishment of
iaithless tunctiOnaries, of corIuptibe Judges and
greedy members of Legislative Assemblies
s. We demand that the tribunals be accessible to
l,fA
9. We demand that every member of Legislative
Assembly, when retiring from it, be held to give an
account to his constituents.
10. We demand from the exterior policy of the
United States that every citizen, both native and
naturalized, be protected abroad from arbitrary
treatment, and that foreign nations have the GER
tainty of finding in their struggle against despotsm
a sure support and aid in the United States;
IL. Lastly, demand that the rights stolen from
the people by Office holders, priests and impostors
of any kind be restored to them, and that the SOW
ercignty of the people become truth.
These demands received by the assembly
with repeated and loud acclamations.
DR.. Forsch in a very spirited and much applaud
ed speech. gave a brief outline of the history of po-
itica parties during the last ten years, and conclu
ded with advising the Germans no longer to be
used the voting chattel Of corrupt political par
ties. After DR.. Forsch Mr.. Case addressed the as
sembly in English, and the meeting then adjourned.
Mile. Piccoomini's career nthe stage dates back
have been spent in London where she is truly called
the pet of the public She has not yet completed
her twenty-second year, and is handsome bru-
nette, with petite, plump and symetrical figure
The fascination of her manner upon the stage is the
great secret of the enthusiasm with which she in
fects the audience. In Italy her ardor and impul-
sivencss asonished an audience which is proverbial
for the decided way in which it condemns what is
bad and rewards what is good. In England, Ire
land and Scotland Mile. Piccolomini has always
walked upon flowers, and now, like feminine Al
exander she comes to conquer the new World -
On board the North Star Mile. Piccolomini sang
at a concert the receipts of which were given to
the sailors and tiremen, who, when she left the
ship, manned the yards and bid her adieu with
three rousing cheers. Her last appearance in Eng
land was at concert at the CRYSTAL Palace on the
2Sth September.-N Y. Herald
