The mails Of tho schooner Star, Capt Cannon,
which left ycra Cruz ON the 2lst, eaGo u hand

have news from tho city Of Mexico 10 the 10th,
one week later
.he principal subjec. of general interest was
the proposed dispatch Of another eondue'a ol

/, That the sum of $1,000 600 at lcas; be
made up
=, That the Goyernmon. at the city Of Mex.

case admitted.
On these terms, the Government agree to es.
cort tho conducIa rs far as the National Bridge,
between Jalapa and Vera Cruz, with II suitable
body OF troops, TO leave tho capital on or after
the 23d Of April.
Tho singular and onerous conditions were con.
sidered inadmissiblc, and it was doubtful If ,ie
lconducta would be forwarded at al.
In the first place the demand of an export duty
Of pcr cent. by the Government at Mexico was
considered exorbiant, inasmuch as the merchants
would have to pay also the usual tariff at Vera
Cruz.
1t was considered that 8 per cent. in all to he
divided between tho two Governments was all
the merchants would submit to, and both the
French and English Ministers had addressed u
note to the General in this sense.
On the other hand, it was found that there
would again bc difficulty, as last year, in the
| transfer ut the National Bridge of the cOniucta
from the escort Of one Government to that of the
other.
The selection Of the bridge as the place of
transfer, instead Of Jalapa. us last year, gave
rise to the suspicion that the Miramon Govern.
ment never intended the money should be shipped
ut Vera Cruz by the Juarcz Government, but
rather that it should go directly on board some
vessel at Sacriiicos or below, and 80 on by way
of Havana.
Again, the refusal of the Government to re
ceiyc their own paper in payment OF the dues
was considered great hardship. 1t was be-
lieved, however, that they would yet SO far yield
as to admit Jecker's bonds ut 20 per cent, which
would reduce the cxaction to 6s per cent, the
current value of these bonds being 80 to 81 per
cent
In the meantime the national treasury was in
the most exhausted condition, and on the 18th, it
is said, the President called together number of
capitalists to take the subject into consideration.
| The conclusion was that even if they should
raise million Of dollars it would better their
condition but little. The dues of the Govern
ment especially to the army were enormous,
and innumerable demands would be made upon
the Treasury 50 soon as it was known to be re-
plenished. In three months time they would be
as bad off as before
Among other things it is also said that Jecker
has offered $50 900 in ready money for the whole
contribution lately decreed.
| AT the same time another change OF the Min
istry, for the purpose OF raising more money, Ia
talked Of. Manuel Escaudon, for the uome Gov
ernment Francisco Iturbe, for the Treasury.
| On the llth, the anniversy Of that dreadful
day, requems were sung for the dead, at Tacu-
baya. 1t is said about 200 ladies, belonging to
the principal families Of Mexico, were present in
mourning. At first the church was closed, but
the doors were subsequently thrown open.
After the services large number Of persons
visited the graves of the deceased strewed then
with flowers and waterel them with their tears.
In the mean time Miramon knowing, probably
ger to take the field again. against the Liberal
army reorganizing in tho interior This is also
made another excuse for further demands OF
money. .
He also gives out at the capital that he vii
undertake another expedition to Vera Cruz II
October next. But those are looked upon al
only threats; the finances Of his Government be
ing in no condition to make an expedition o

AT Vera Cruz the weather was extremely warm
and business of every kind dull. but the city ant
port were healthy.

In port were the U S. ships of war Saratoga

well, as also Mr. McLane, the Minister.
e The schooner Emily Keith Capt Lockwood
t arrived out at Vera Cruz on the 18th. The ru
