On the 7th we had war forced loan put upon US still
more aggravatng than that Of May last. The present
loan Ia for the purpose Of carrying tho cam
pajgn against Vera Cruz. The loan Is, as usual
smothered beneath the name OF contribution The
American residents here have sent strong protest
Mr. Black, our Consul on this subject which the Consul
has handed to the government without drawing a
reply % yet It is than probable the loan will be
enforced to the last II be II will produce at least
$40 900 in the whole country Already the loan has
been made the subject Of heavy speculation. Some
palsts have bought it up and if Miramon gains the day
they will assuredly make eight millions Of the
business. Foreigners well required
nay doubt any protest will be flied against by the
British Minister.
Miranon has done everything in his power and hav

popular with the commercial and foreign population On

all the tsreign Ministers were invited The dinner was
