VERA CRUZ, Oct. Is, 1858.
The action Of Congress on the Mexico and Vera
Crnz Railroad bill has caused the greatest agitation
In the public mind here and has raised such clamor
everywhere along the projected line that the Oppos
ton are somewhat alarmed, and its leader, 2ama
coma, is now endeavoring to patch mp some compro-
misc; as yet with success; but such is the state
OF popular feeling that some arrangement Will
doubtless be effected. There Is an;immense deal OF
poverty and suffering between this city and the
capital, which would be relieved by an early re-
sumption or work on the road. At the same time
the local trade, upon which so many depend for
subsistence is at q standst; and the action OF Con-
gress under such circumstances has caused an indg
nation which may break out into something serious
II 1t fs not soothed. The opposition Ia based upon
antagonism to the Executive and TO the introduction
Of foreign capital and enterprise at all times two OF
the strongest principles in the breast OF Mexicans

MEXICO CITY, Oct 10, 1868.
There has occurred OF late newspaper discussion
as TO the actual amount or raised during the
last fiscal year. Mr. Juan Zambrano, a gentleman
OF Mexican birth and education but who has ira
yelled abroad and Is somewhat known In the United
states, and who is also known as statisician has
charge OF the Department OF Naturalization sale
OF Church property. lie has been furnishing the
press with some data, from which it Is argued that
there is deficiency OF about $6,oO000o In the
nue. during the last fiscal year; that the Appro-
priation bill passed by the last Congress called
for $isooo,ooo, and that only sl2oooooo has been
realized. Recent data published day since, show
deficiency OF $50 29l IL during the three months
thaf frf1f J,fv foot abnvo
deficiency which may have existed during the same
three months OF the fiscal year OF 1867 This refers
70 the receipts In the Offices OF the administration OF
sealed paper, principal district taxes and district
contributions As Ia natural, the revelations made
by Mr.. Zambrano have seriously DISTURBED the COM
mercIal portion OF the community and has called out
q full statistical report from the chief ofcer OF
the sixth section OF the Treasury Depart
ment. This officer claims that Mr.. Fam.
brano has failed TO credit the proper
to the various departments which receive taxes
and revenue, and as corrected by the former fair
case Is made out.
Tho finance report OF Minister Matias Romero Seq
retsry Of the Treasury was presented TO Congress
few days since. As II shows the condition OF the
Treasury during the first year after the re establish
ment OF the republic the foreign reader may be able
TO form some opinion TO the efficiency OF Its au-
thor and the prospect for Mexicos future. Congress
has been too busy engaged upon the railroad cues
ton to give attention to the report ana the PRESS
so far, has remained silent.
The Cabinet Is evidently now unit Mr.. Lerdo be-
ing fully installed again Minister OF For egn Rela-
tons and so far as Is known, all the departments
are now acting In harmony. Notwthstan ding the
fact that the majority OF Congress failed 10 confirm
the act OF Juarez In c0nsedng the grant to the Mex
leo and Vera Cruz Railroad Company there IS no
particular manifestation against the President ana
Cabinet nor any particular expressions oi dssatis
faction The fact that the President has be en- sue
cessful in suppressing the revoutions which from
time to time have broken out In different states
seems 70 nave quleted tnc restless po pV,n,vams r,

having succeeded in their eorts to suhvert the SOW
