The America Legation was closed, but
Mr. FORSYTH will pct leave Mexico as or

pircd that Mr.. Forsyth has not laid before
the Mexican Goycrnment all the late des-
patches received at the Legation.
Tie despatch relative 20 American grioV-
anccs agaiust Mexico also contains the or
der for Mr. Forsyth to demand bic passports
and QUIT the kcrubiic, but no stall fema:iec
in tnc Legation. 1t appears, however, that
the Mexican Government is fully aware OF
the contents of the despatch, having been
fully advised thereof. ,
Orders have been given by the United
States Government to take Senior Ainsa from
prison ct Guaymas BY force, and a United
States vessel has keen detailed TO attend to
,t,is order. The Mexican Government, has
been informed Of Tie will and deterrlaa-

Southern Methodist Book Concern. DR.. San
mere, with MS family, spent the day with the
tauily Of Col. 81. u. L.. Claiborne, IN the
Eastern part Of the city, near the water
works. Soon after dinner DR.. Summers lett
il tie omnibus for his Office. The ladies pro-
posed to walk TO the reservoir, which MAS
tus d short distance from the Dwelling OF
Col. Claiborne. As they approached the
reservoir, the hrc bells sounded an alarm for
fire, waen Clara, the daughter OF Or. Sum.
rie.s, bounded forward and assembled the wei
that she might have o view OF the burning
building, but lost her balance and was pre-
cipitated into the water which was eight or
ten feet deep. Before relief could be afforded
life was extinct. The Nashville advocate
says tina. the young lady was IN her thirteenth

parents-a lovely girl, full OF life, a pattern
of amiability. and possessing 40 excellent
