MEXICO, July 8, 1869.
Since my full letter Of three days since we have
nothing startling at this capital Minister Mariscal
and Commissioner Palacio are now expecting to de-
part for the United States by the American steamer
which sails during the last week OF this month. The
appointments by President Grant of Mr.. Wadsworth
as Commissioner on the part Of the United States,
under the Seward Romero treaty. Is understood here
to be specially happy one for Mexico, as that gen.

Grant IN consequence OF his personal knowledge OF
Mr.. Wadsworths probity and his peculiar fitness.

justice which will be applied to improper and
trumped up claims viii also be extended to such as

must be paid. Just now the Treasury continues TO

Don Placdo Vega presented himself to General To-

thirty Americans, eighteen OF whom appeared to be
officers and the vessel which brought them had an

therefore, is alarming, because an alliance between
Don flacdo Vega and General Lozada would be ter

The Trait d. Union relates the foowing:-On the
night Of the 9th INST TWO robbers fancy TO stop
o belated traveller near the Bronze Horse. 'Your
purse and your watch" said the robbers in under

hand at the same time IN his pocket he drew out his
revolver, and IN second afterwards the two rob-
bers fell never to rise again, each having received
