OUR MINISTER TO MEXICO.


1t is now stated with some degrees of authority that
there was a mistake in the ,elegraphlc despatch from
New Orleans, which announced that Mr.. Forsyth
had demanded his passports and was returning home
1t appears that Mr.. F., had only demanded passports
for such American citizens resident in Mexico as had
resolved to leave the country rather than submit TO
the forced contribution Of zuloaga. The Mobile Re-
gister says:
at can hardly be possible that Mr.: Forsyth has de,
manded his own passports Ihat wou'a a usasuae
contrary to usage, il not unwarranted by the duty or
authority of a Minister. The practice and the rule
are that the Minis,sr shall await the Instructions o.
his Government before demanding his passports. 1t
ia comnstent aud cu,;omary for him in such cases as,
10 bis opinion, require extreme action on his part TO
suspend official intercourse with tho Government 10
which he is accredited until he can receive the orders
of bis own Govsrnment. in the premises. We think
it highly probable, judging by al in;ims'ion to that
effect in a letter which We received by the mail Just
arrived, thai this measure has been taken by MI.

the hesrse, they marched TO the number OF about
three hundred. After entering the cemetery they
ranged themselves on one side of the route chosen
for the procession, and sung one OF the most oeaul
ful and appropriate hymns, TO one of the sweetest
times wa have ever had the pleasure Of listening to.
1t was a grateful tribute to their departed friend OF

The following extract from a letter, written by Ex.
President Monroe, and kindly furnished us by a resi-

Yours, very resply.
JOS. MlCHARD.
To NV. +. RircHIE, Esq.
After writing on some personal affairs, Mr.. Monroe
says:

seems TO be-, IN a great ws0sNrc our home; We know
every family of any note, and enter deeply into The
distress with which they have been visited The
disaster and grief seem 10 be universa!; none have
Entirely escaped. Very many years will pass away

10 the whole of South. Western and Western Virginia
to the whole OF the South eide and Eastern shore.
and to a large portion of Piedmont. The whole Va
lev and the North est can come 10 this city with
almost ne much facility ~ they can - 10 Charlotte
vile and Siaunton. and with more facility than The
South W est and SOuth-Side can attend at either of
those points. Besides, We have one ot the mos:
spacious city halls in the State-a very important item
70 be taken into the account. Why, then, shsll not
Lynchburg be- chosen as the poin; for the convention?
