counsel, ssked leave to put in ssae documents
~ evidence to prove that tho original answer
which contained the alleged perjury had never
been used that il had been abandoned by an
order from Judge Davies; that no issue had
ever been taken on it no decree obtained
proceedings in the suit at ALL and therefore
could not be considered material. AS mate
riality Was q necessary condition In order

The News from BIexsco--Prcse~t and Prcsp,c-
uvo Changes There.
Our excellent arrangements for the trans
mission of intelligence from Mexico enables
us to publish this morning, several days in
anticipation Of the regular mails, the full
details of the news brought to New Orleans by
the steamship Tennessee.
The advices are of signifcative importance,
as will be found in the full particulars in
another column. 1t will be seen that our
Minister, Mr.. Forsyth, has differed from all his
colleagues of the diplomatic corps, and pursued
a course in relation to the imposition of the
forced taxation loan upon foreign residents in
Mexico which is not only correct in its prin-
ciple, but which will probably save all the
foreign population of that republic from the
system of robbery which the Zuloaga govern
ment endeavored to establish in the prosecu-
ton of the internecine struggle. Mr.. Otway,
the British Minister, had not taken 80 bold a
stand as Mr.. Forsyth, but he had declined to
give bis assent to the proposed taxation of
the Britlsh subjects until he had consult
ed his government. The non-assent of the
two Ministers had induced the government
to suspend for three months the proposed
measure, which was considered to be equi-
valent to its total abrogation. In this
matter Mr.. Forsyth has not only acted
rightly, but by his action he has shown the true
influence which the American legation possesses
in Mexico, and which should ever be exercised
for the benefit not only of our own citizens but
of ell others.
We trust that his course in relation to the
purchases by our citizens Of church property
from the late government in Mexico will be
equally energetic, and that both measures
will meet the prompt and public approval of
the government at Washington. By SO doing
the moral power of our legation in Mexico will
be greatly strengthened, and the action of the
government will go far towards assisting the
re-establishment OF ordor In that republic Tho
position taken by the French and Gustemalan
representatives is intended to sustain the Zulo-
aga government of which, In fact, they are the
strongest supporters. 1t is their policy to fas-
ten the reaotionary system upon that govern
ment; and in doing this they are only perpetu-
ating the internal struggles Of the republic, for
the country has made too great progress toward
liberal institutions to be now sat back into
servilism by few intriguers and priests.
1t will be seen from the tenor of the news
that the report we published some time since on
the actual condition Of the republic is being
borne out in all its statements and deductions.
The. country Is disintegrated; robbery Is pre-
ponderant on every side the civil war is as
suming q bloody character, and the resources
of both the contending parties are becoming
daily less equal TO the task Of restoring order.
In this state of affairs the question of American
Intervention II becoming more pressing than
ever, and seems TO he the only hope Of the
Mexican people. One Of our correspondents
states that even Santa Anna has adopted this
solution of the problem Of the future of Mexico
and that 1t was supposed he would again come
into power. His agents, who were captured at
Tampico, having escaped from Cara, were
busily intriguing 10 that end, and enc Of them
had gone To St. Thomas 10 invite him 10 go 10
Tampico. A superstition prevails that some
change must soon take place in the capital
and q con Of President Iturbide was suggested
as probable successor Of Zuloaga The only
thing that Is evident In the present condition of
Mexico il, that our government should soon
decide upon the policy 1t will pursue in reis-
ton TO that republic, aud send out there at
once fit persons TO carry Il out
