If the Earl of Malmbury really intends
to bully the Federal Goyernme ut for the
only special benefit of the Central party,
the United States will be forced to take
their hands out of their pockets and de-
eide the fate of the parties in Mexico by
blows. But | cannot believe that the
British Government is so stuped as to be
to defend Government so
depraved, so corrupt, SO pertinacious and
disgusting to the Intelligence of the age
as that which now holds the national bal.
ance in Mexico.
On the strength of this circular to the
British Consul, the French Minister and
his satellites have set forth on the Ssreets
endless lies, such as We may hourly cx-
peet to hear, that Vera Cruz is taken by
the English and French, and all that sort
Of stuff and nonsense.
In the meantime, we are sgain threat
cned with siege. Night before last, Ira
conis, Ampu11ia, an2 .Aiatristo made their
entry into the valley with forces. What
strength they have, I cannot say. They
are now at Arricia at the foot of the vol
canoes. Degoilado has goue TO Morelta,
but large part of bis forces are only
bout twenty leagues from this, aud it is
cot Improbable they mag return and give
US another trial.
The country is going to be bad in all
directions. Every day new signs of de-
mobilization and position show
themselves. The army now in this cap
ital are clamoring for money, and two
days ago the President was actually con
sidering if be would not do we'll to delare
the wealth of the church national proper
ty | believe this alternative will be
STAYED of Jet a while longer, as the clcr-
gy have managed to raise money for im
mediate wants.
The Government, it is said, will Danish
a number of foreigners A long list ha-
been made out, but as yet no passports
have been given. Mr.. Black. our consul,
will leave US the coming week for Wash
Deton
The Central Government of this espi
al has made long protest against the
of Juarez, which l enclose to
you.
San Luis Potosi is now occupied BY the
Federalists, at also Mazatlan, so that the
,nly port of the Centralists is San Bias,
Which makes one custom house cut of the
wenty fou. A nice general government
his is, to be sure
Gustsve Barron, Esq, of the oldest and
most wealthy foreign merchants of Mexi

Alr. Barron was British subject. He

Down to the world. 1t has been the Col
onda Of the age, aud has enriched all
arties interested in it. Mr. Barron NAV

lost enterprising and public spirited men
D Mexico. He was noble and generous,
good friend and a determined euemy.
IS private person be has played a con.
picuous part in Mexico, perhaps more
lan any other person. His loss at this
~e may be considered a great one, for

'mporary governments and foreign min
