WAsuIxGrox, July q, lS5S-Seuor Mata, the
agent for the Juarez government in Mexico has de-
layed his departure for Vera Cruz in the hope that
when Mr. Forsyth reaches here there will be some
action in relation to Mexican affairs. The great OBJ
ject of his mission TO this country was TO raise
money for the prosecution Of the war against the
church party. In this he has completely failed;
but he eniertains the hope that the President will
trest with him upon some Of the higher questions
relating TO Mexico and the exercise of influence
there for the establishment of liberal govern
ment.
The Mexican question has occupied the attention
Of the Cabinet lately, and the administration is dis
posed to take such action il within the sphere
Of its constitutional duties for the restoration of
order and government in Mexico. But it will not
have anything to do with q section or party. Its
intercourse must be with q regular movement, and
this position the gentlemen represented by Mr.
Mata have not yet attained Juarez has but little
influence in the direction of affairs at Vera Cruz
The revenues disposed of by Gov. Zamors, and
the military operations there just nov amount to
rothDg Those in other sections carried on
with little reference to the opinions Of President
Juarez and his Cabinet.
General Trias, who lately went to New York in
company with the active adVenturer German, has
had no better success than Mr.. Mata in raising
money. The phalauG Of mOneyed friends which
the self styled admiral prOfessed to have in New
York, has turned out to be something of quite
another kind
Senior Robles will remain here as the recognized
representative of Mexico. He considers that the
late advices from that republic indicate probable
success of the Zuloaga government, at least for
time. The retreat OF the constitutional forces in
the vest and the weakness in the resources Of the
federal leaders in other sections preclude the posi-
bility Of an advance upon the capital. The idea
that some of your city journals entertain that war
with Mexico is probable, is simply preposterous;
we cannot 60 to war with such disOrgsnized eOun~
try.
From Fort Arbuckle, June %, information has been
received Of more Indian troubles. Bands Of Canaan
ches were committing continual depredations. The
writer says:-'They stole twenty horses two nights
past from a Chickasaw residing five miles west of
this and the next night forty more from different
parties east and north of the fort General Cooper
had Just started for Washita when these troubles
became known. An express has been sent for him.
There are but six white men here, and the place
might be taken at any moment. The Cananehes
very much irritated by the Losses sustained in
their conflict with the Texans, and it will require
pretty large force to be able to stand attack from
them. The surveying party consists, all told, of
thirty six men, and think they will meet with no
interruption in going south to Red river"
Quite number Of leading politicians from the
State of New York are here about Postmaster ap-
Pointmens for Buff4loHnd Troy. Ills quite refresh
ing in this dull season at Washington TO have rans>
ferred here something of the spirit of New York
political contests Hon. John Cochrsne is here, it
is said, on that business. 1t was expected the ap-
pOintueuts would be made to-day, but it has not yet
transpired who is appointed. There seems to be no
doubt the Buffalo will be soft and the Troy hard
There is great rivalry just now between New
York and Philadelphia as to which shall have two
of the new sloops of war 70 build. 1t is said two
will be built at one of these places.
Secretary Toucey is so far recovered to be able
to do business at department to day.
1t is reported the President will 90 to Berkeley
years at this season.
The bills of the Sergeant-at Arms Of the House Of
Representatives, already present, and which were
allowed By the Committee of Accounts for last session
amount TO fourteen thousand nine hundred and
eighty dollars. How much more to come does
nOtyet appear. This is nearly all clear GAIN besides
a salary Of two thousand one hundred and sixty
dollars.
