Of Diamonds proceeded recall Mr.. Forsyth and cut
loose from Mexican matters altogether
The Mexican mission remained vacant for some time,
and both Robes Mata kept in hot water, until
the former took into his head TO sell out his household

Mr.. McIane left on the 29th Of August, since which
time nothing has TRANSFERRED and in fact may cover the
preceding month with the same assertion except per-
sonal matters Our Minister made himself exceedingly
amabe to the fair senoritas Of San Anreas de Zupta,
and he made himself excessively annoying to Lerdo de
Zejada by meeting him in the street and calling him
humbug and cheat. This man Zejada is much msun-
tifable part but more intimate knowledge Of his
proceeding has dispelled this idea. He it was who
cheated Mr.: McIane so egregously-he il was
who actually opposed our treaty and defeated

natural enemy 0campo, opposed IT, saying that he could
look at matters bir Lerdo did, for the latter had
convinced him days before that the treaty wrong
and he could not allow himself to be whipped over
like circus rider by the same Zelada who so violently
opposed the measure before.
is now currently reported that Mr. Reinree in charge
Of the Legation, intends to follow the example Of Mr..
McIane and 60 home. He may do Immediately but
that he will do SO well understood aud such action
may be precipitated by events that Of probable
occurrence within very short time. For instance the
well aecertained failure Of Zeada to obtain loan of
money to be specially accepted in the United States,
will at once arouse against us all the hostile sentiments
Of this people, and this ailare Should be attended,
is likely TO be- by the recognition by England Of Juarez
will not pretend TO to what extremity their stupidity
may ead them AS U.s. .he popular sentiment Is entirely
every way for assistance today there is public man
or newspaper to do MS honor In FACT the Jaarez adj
minsraon seems to be trial before the country,
the charge that it intends to sell territory 10 the United
States, or else that it intends to invite the assistance
of the Yankees in the shape OF men. The
Vera Cruz Prog7eso, the official organ of Juarez, is
constantly engaged in denying and denouncng both IDEAS
and in an official publication recently, IN respect 70 the
armed party said to be mepacng Monterey from Texas

But, said, Mr. Rein,ree has been accused Of an in

port proved true He can do no good where he

vantage Of u.s. for they have openly taken stand which
makes them respected here, however little il may add to
their respect from abroad To be respected or even
treated with justice this country, must constantly
stand ready to repel wrong and this just what Gabrac
and Otway have done, without any reference part

At present there is seeming friendship for amongst

If we can be OF benefit to them well and good il not their
smiles have lost them nothing We have received
a national benefit from the liberal party.
AS has always been the case it has turned now
for according to my understanding Mr. McIane had al
ready arranged the draft of treaty before he went
home, to the following enec-1st The right of way for
railroad from the Rio Grande TO Mazaan I'd The right
way for road from Arizona TO Guaymas Sd, The right

All these propositions discussed and agreed to at
different times, but when they came to be collected

BILE was originally intended that treaty should be
made, and how Mr.. McIane assented go on treating
after Juarez had denied his power to negotiate past my

dead halt on the negotiation because Mexico refused to

He did not choose to adopt this alternative, and so he
semi-ciicialy resigned, the act to take effect in two
months, provided that within that time Juarez does
do something which will allow him 70 be held to an &C

ought 10 be according 70 the official programme during
the ensuing month, and then, he refuses treat to
hold him to rigid responsibility not only for his own
shortcomings but also for the mischief done by the other
