AHairAin Mexico.

Reliable adyices from Mexico, received at
Washington, say that the reverses OF the
constitutionalsts were not SO disastrous as
the newspaper accounts represent After
General Degolado's defeat in the vicinity Of
Queratero, he purposely retreated beyond
San Louis Potosi, considering IT more impor-
tant tJr future operations to take position at
Matehula. Previous to his disaster. as Off
cial accounts show, he had an interview with
Mrsmon with view to amlcably settle their
differences. and during which Mlramun ad.
initted that the reactionists could not III the
end triumph, and that while he was in favor
of liberal principles. he could not openly es-
pouse them without rendering himself obnox-
ious to the charge OF being n traitor To the
party in whose service he WAS engaged.
This admission having reached the church
party, had caused much Indignation against
him. and therefore the report which prevailed
at Vera Cruz at thu time the steamer Ten
nessee left, that revolution in the city OF
Mexico, in favor Of Gen. Marquee, was medi
tated, was regarded as of significant impor-
lance.
The treaty recently made with the Juarea
government will probably be received at the
State Department to day. a question has al
ready been urged that in order to It's ralid-
ty it must be ratified by the Mexican Con
gress as well as by the Senate Of the United
States But this is answered by the fact that
in 1857 certain provisions of the Mexican
constitution were suspended, and the Execu-
tive clothed with tull power to take such mea
sures rs were necessary to raise funds for the
defence Of the country.
As this treaty provides for the payment of
money to Mexico, it will be regarded AS n
measure Of that kind. and the Congress which
may hereafter be called by the liberal party,
will, it is confidently anticipated. approve or
ratify the act As heretofore stated, when the
news reached the city Of Mexico that the trea-
ty had been signed, there WAS such indigna-
ton expressed there as ~ lead to the belief
that American citizens residing in such parts
of Mexico as are in possession of the reaction
lists, would either be expelled Or oppressed
in their persons: aud hence, the supplement
tary treaty. which conters On our govern
ment power to interfere Tor their protection.
owing to the inability of the constitutional
government to perform that service, aud as
our relations with the latter are SO friendly
rs to preclude war on the part Of the United
States against the entire country.
