FROM MEXICO

The schooner Star with Vera Cruz dates of the 2lst
ult.. and advices from the City Of Mexico to the 18th
ult.. arrived at New-Orleans OH Wednesday, May ?.
The principal subject Of general interest was the
proposed dispatch Of another conducta of silver coin to
the gulf coast To this it is sad that the Government
has consented on the following conditions:
l. That tie sum Of s., 600 900 at least be made up.
, That tie Government at the City Of Mexico re-
ceve thereupon per cent export duty (s2lOOOO, to
be paid in specie-paper in admitted.
On these terms the Government agree to escort the
conducta as far az the National Bridge, between
.Jaapa and Vera Cruz with suitable body of troops
10 leave the catal OH or after the I'D Of April These
conditions were considered inadmlssble, and it was
doubtful if the cOnducta would be forwarded at all.
The demand Of an export duty of per cent by the
Government at Mexico considered eXorbant, in
asnuCh az the merchants would have to pay also the
usual tariff at Vera Cruz. 1t was considered that
per cent in all to be divided between the two Govern
nents all the merchants would submit TO- and both
the French and English Ministers had addressed note
10 the General in this sense.
On the other hand, il was found that there would
again be difficulty, last year in the transfer at the
National Bridge of the cOnducta from the escort of one
Government to that of the other The selection OF
the Bridge the place of transfer instead of Jaapa
ar last wear gave rise to the suspicion that the Mira
mon Government never intended the money should be
Skinned at Vera Cruz by the Juarez Government but
rather that it should 90 directly board vessel
al Sacrfcior below, and 30 on by way of Havana.
Again the refusal of the Government % receive their
own paper in payment OF the dues considered a
great hardship. 1t believed, however, that they
Wond vet 80 far Weld IA 10 admit Jeckers bonds at
20 per cent which would reduce the exaction 10 81
per cent the current value of these bonds being 80 10
80 per cent.
The condition Of the national Treasury was said to
be deploraEle, and the President had called together
number of capitalists 20 take the subject into considea
ton. The conclusion was that even If they should
raise million of dollars it would better their condition
but little The dues of the Government, especially to
the army were enormous, and innumerable demands
would be made upon the Treasury rs soon as II was
known 20 b. replenshed. In three months time they
Nould be as bad of as before. Among other things II
il ALEC yaid that Jccker has offered $50 900 in ready
money for the whole contribution lately decrced. AZ
the same time another change of the Ministry, for the
purpose of raising more money IL talked Of. Manuel
