"'The news of the conclusion of. the
treaty with the United States caused the
most intensel excitement here. The pa
pers came out with the most infammatory
appeals, aud declared war with the Uni
ted States inevitable if the treaty is rati-
fled. The clergy are perfectly furious,
aud well theysmay, for in this treaty they
read their death warrant Stupendous
efforts are already on foot.to prevent the
consummation of the treaty with the lib
erals. These efforts arc sustained, or rath-
er they are 10 be carried. out by the
French Minister, Gabriac, aud locker
The latter, who is the head and front Of
the money power OF the Miramon or church
government has an enormous stake at is

the protest of the Miramon government
to Washington. His clique will have
their agents there, and it is said they are
authorized to expend 100000 to influ-

the treaty, and, if as much more is want

A city OF Mexico correspondent Of the
the same paper, under date of Dec. 10,
"These people have determined 10 take
the offensive; and wild and ridiculous as
ii may appear, they arc about to do it
with the best good faith and confidence
that, they will be able 10 succeed. They
have called'upon France to aid them, and
the French Minister has compromised his
government to do SO, and, furthermore,
says France has already madesthe neces-
sary preparations. In proof Of this he
has caused. orders TO be made for large
naval stores TO be delivered at Vera

"The clergy daily wax warmer and
warmer and have worked themselves up
TO the point of taking the desperate res
olution of declaring war against The Uni
ted States. They only wait the turn of
affairs to make the formal declaration, the
actual declaration having been published
yesterday in the Socieddd newspaper a
journal that is conducted by the chief men
of the clergy themselves, and invariably
foreshadows the action of their govern
ment. This declaration is too long for
review IL enters into very long argu-
ment, and deals in largo amount of the
most bitter language against the Ameri-
can people and the Anglo-Saxon race
declares the impossibiity of getting on
with such people; aud finally concludes
that the United States, the Gauls, have
plunged the sword of Brennus in the scale,
and therefore all thought of accommoda-
ting matters, except on the battle field,
must be abandoned! Tho Socieddd dis
tinctly says: we shall hare a wdr
