MEXICAN NRws.

NEW YORK, August 10.
The Tribune's correspondent st Msta-
moras, writing on the oath of July, says
1t is stated by La Commerce that 10000
men are to be sent into the north of this
country, and the report came from the tel
egraph office, on the 22d, thatsome French
had arrived at Boxa which was untrue.
General Donsa is to command the corps to
be sent north. 1t is said he will be at Mon
tersy by the Both.
Stages run every other day, but are of
ten stopped by Cortinss' force.
On the 22d two stsges left for Monterey,
and in one of them was an ex-Oolonel of
the late Confederate States army named
Grey.
At Monterey there is little concourse
of ex.rebel officers, some of whom are GO
ing or are gone 10 the Capital. Many who
came over the Rio Grands with words Of
fire in their lips are now glad to go back
under the old flag. Their ardor lasted IS
long as they had little money to feed it
with. It was not proof against poor fare
and poorer beds, with a near prospect Of no
funds.
The rebel General Shelby has organized
a corps of 4, 900 mounted men for the Mex,
lean service, and is in command of it. The
corps is Tor special border service, and
formed entirely of men of the late rebe
army. It will be a species of mounted
riff or ranger force. The men are to re-
ceive fifty dollars per months, out Of which
they are to subsist themselves.

A CIRCULAR IN REFERENCE TO COUNTER
FEITIEG.
The Solicitor of the Treasury has issued
a circular il reference to eounterfeiting,
stating that Congress has appropriated 8
considerable sum of money for the purpose
of meeting any expense in detecting and
bringing to trial and punishment of per-
sons engaged in counterfeiting treasury
notes, bonds, or other securities of the
United States, as we'll as coin of the Uni
ted States, it being expected further ap-
preparations of a like nature will be here
after made.
The Secretary of the Treasury has d.
rected that the administration of funds
thus created and the prosecution OF
measures contemplated by Congress shall
be committed to solicit ors of the Office, and
that there be organized therein Division
under direction of competent head to
have immediate charge of the measures in
question, which has been accordingly
done. -.
Colonel VIM. Wood has charge Of the
Division, who says the mode of operation
adopted by the office is twO-fold, first by
the offer of rewards for services
or the procurement of information
tending to the suppression of ccunterfeiE-
ing. Second, by direct efforts to collect in
formation, and make seizures and arrests
through the instrumentslity Of persons
scting under directions. In order to secure
rewards it Is not essential that the parties
seeking them shall act to any extent under
this office. They may proceed with their
operations upon their own account,
in their own way until they shall reach
their eonsummstion, when they may present
their results TO the offiee and claim the
proper reward, which will be given with
fairness and on the most liberal scale. But
it must be borne in mind that such parties
can only look for reward for what they
actually accomplish, as the office will not
undertake to remunerate for the loss OF
time or reimburse any expense which they
may have incurred in unsuccessful efforts.
Neither is it necessary that such parties
shall perform any act beyond the commu-
nication of information which shall be Of
value, and 70 person possessing such in.
formation need apprehend that his Just
claim will be overlooked or disregarded
The books will be kept in the Office
in which will be entered every item Of in-
formation received, together with the party
who communicates the information; and
before any reward is awarded, careful
examination Of the whole case will be
made, in order that each person who has
contributed to the general result shall re
ceive his share of the remuneration
The Solicitor has issued a circular to dis.
trict attorneys, msrshsls and clerks O
courts of the United Ststes, specifying th'
particular services he expects of them anC
the kind of information 70 be furnished, in
cluding any defect which may be observed
relating to counterfeiting United State
currency, and securities thereof in thei
several districts.

ceedings are strictly private, and it is not
known that any member reveals them.
Therefore rumors Of what takes place in
the Cabinet council are unreliable. It may
be believed with confidence that there is
no material difference between the Presi-
dent and the Cabinet in regard 70 the re-
construction of the Southern States. One
of the reasons for this assertion is the fact
that all proclamations appointing Provis-
ional Governors are precisely in Che same
words, founded on the Tennessee arrange
ment and msturely considered by the Pres.
ident and approved by the Cabinet, show
ing a carefully considered plan, the amnes-
ty proclamation being in accord with that
document.
The President it is known from the rep
resentaiion of his intimate friends, is deter
mined to pursue substantially the recon
struetion programme thus laid down.
Many of the accounts from the South are
exaggerated, and misrepresent the true and
favorable condition of public opinion.
JEFF. DAVIS TRIAL.
Il Is DelIsVet tuero rs an unwilhDgness
on the part of 3 portion of the Cabinet to
have JEFF. DAVIS tried for treason, while
there is reason for asserting that the Presi-
dent is persistent for having him brought
before 3 civil tribunal Chief Justice
Chase is expected TO arrive here in a few
days for q consultation with the President
as to the time, manner and place which
shall be designated. The Sblest counsel in
the United States are also being consulted
on the subject. There is fixed determin-
alton on the part of the Executive that
there shall be an immediate and fair trial
by jury for high treason. In addition TO
this it is confidently asserted that the Pres
ident has determined to withdraw, IS soon
as practicable, the orders suspending the
writ of hsbeas corpus, and dispensing with
military courts.

which 400 were reprints. These figures are
exclusive of pamphlets, Of which the Weld
