The carefully prepared and authentic report
on Mexican affairs which we yesterday laid be-
fore our readers, has appeared opportunity to
dispel the mist Of error and misrepresentation
which has been raised by the agents of the
Mexican factions in this country Were we to
trust entirely to the statements Of the latter we
would be involved in such o chaos of contra
dictions that 1t would be impossible to follow
with any degree of accuracy the track Of Mexi
can politics. All the parties now contending
for power in that republic have their paid ennis
saries in the principal cities of the Union, each
instructed 10 mislead the public mind here In
order to further their particular views We do
not know whether we are entitled to class
amongst these diplomatic perversions of fact
the statements which from time to time appear
over the signatures of Mexican Statesmen.
When we come to compare them with the in
formation derived from our own cOrresp ondents,
it but too frequently happens that the dis
crepancies between them are wholly irrecon-
cihble. A remarkable illustration of this
is to be found in the letter which
appears in our columns from our correspondent
at New Orleans 1t will be recollected that
few weeks since We published letter from Gen.
Comonfort denying in the most positive terms
that he was in any way mixed MP with the fiji
clustering projects against Mexico, which were
stated to be maturing in New Orleans. In
order that there may be no Misunderstanding
as to the terms in which this disclaimer was
made, We republish the Generals letter.

I. will be observed that In the above General
Comonfcrt AYERS that he was not only ignorant
of the designs imputed to Walker, but that he
was not even personally acquainted with the
latter, or with any of the persons mentioned in
connection with these projects.
In the letter which we publish this morning,
II will be seen that ii is as positively asserted
that after his arrival in that city General
Comonfort sought out Walker, and had several
conferences with him The report that these
interviews had taken place was, it is stated, as
notorious In Mexico az II wa. in New Orleans.

contradictions. Their actual importance

tons was az flibus.er in its character as any
project Of the sort could be. His idea, II ap-
pears, was to induce Generals La Lave and
zemora, the Vera Cruz leaders, to give him
grant Of land In that State for five thousand
military colonists, who were to accompany him
back TO Mexico, on their formal invi alton, to
assist him in re-establishing himself in the Pre-
sidency. A former agent Of Walkers was, IL is
stated, employed to conduct this negotiation,
which failed through the refusal of Zamors
to use foreign aid in settling the questions at
present at issue In the republic.
II will be seen by the came letter that offers
Of a similar character made to vidaurri by
General Ienningsen, and having for object the
establishment Of the Sierra Madre republic, have
also been rejected. All these facts confirm tho
opinion to which we gave expression yesterday,
that II American interference IL TO be entertain
cd at all by the Mexicans. II will only be under
the guarantee Of a convention between the two
governments, deliberately considered and en-
tered into, and fortified by the common consent
and approval Of the people Of the two coun-
tries.
