FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. August 2l.-Therc is still lit
tie If any doubt, from circumstances which
have recently tranSpired, tina, a convention or
treaty between the United States and Mexico
will soon he concluded and received here from
Minister McLane early in September, in which
event Senior Lcrdo will return to New York,
with 4 view to conclude the pecuniary ar.
ran.emcnts already initiated by him, instead
of first laying his plans before the Juarez gov
ernlnent as he originally intended.
This treaty will probac!y be confined main
ly to the United States transit over Mexican
territory, with certain commercial privileges or
.excmption from customs duties in that con-
%uection, together with provision for adequate
means of projections. 1t is confidently asserted
that the compensation for these advantages can
easily be rendered mutually satisfactory
Other treaties will be proposed in due time,
and in these arrangements there is no reason
to doubt that provision will be made for the
satisfaction Of American claims against Mexico.
Distinguished friends of the Juarcz govern
Iuent, including n number Of Mexicans now
here, REGARD the latest Mexican new as addi-
t%ionally encouraging to the cause Of the consti-
~tutionalists, ard speak of the cx.communica-
ton of that party by the Archbishop Of Mcxi-
70 as 4 harmless proceeding.
There is no foundation 10Y the rulnor that
the Secretary Of War will resign his scat in the
Cabinet. lie hopes soon 20 return 10 the per-
formancc of his official duties.
