Mexico City Correspondence n. Y. Herald, Oct. o.
By the American steamer which leaves
Vera Cruz on the 14th instant for New YORK
q number of the expelled monastlclsts VIII
leave this country by force of the arm OF
the Government, having been declared to be
nerpicious foreigners. Those remaining viii
leave these shores by the following French
and English steamers. They number about
seventeen, and pertain mostly to the socie-
ties known as Passionists and Paulists, win
few Jesuits. They are charged WIN Glo-
latinc the laws Of the country by ilVlng 10
communities. This charge they deny, ana
they have been expelled by an executive
decree. and without trial. Treaties exist
ing between Mexico and Spain, Italy and the
United States, are supposed to concede 10
citizens of these countries the right OF trial,
which right has been denied them in the
case now in question. The belief or hope
has been entertained by many persons mere
that the Executive would not final y carry
out his decree but they are evidently 10 pe
disappointed, for the measures have all been
taken for the removal OF the accused 10 vera
Cruz and their delivery on board the Amerl-
can steamer. Mr.. Thomas FL. Nelson, late
Unhed States minister, insisted that unoer
the treaty between Mexico and the United
States Messrs. Lila and McCrealy were entl-
tied to a trial, but it was positively re-
fused them. Within the past few days the
present American. minister, Dir. John W.
Foster, has protested against tue expulsion
of the Americans without trial, and IT now
remains to be seen whether the act OF eX-
pulsion will be carried into effect.
The following are brlef geographical
sketches of the Rev. Father Lllia ana the
Law member, Dir. Thomas McCrealy' Catbo'

tian gentlemen siuce their ARRIVAL 10 tus
