JuAREz FRIGHTENED-WILLING TO TaEAT-WARN-


ING TO THE MINISTER.


The conduct of Mr.. Rentree, coupled with the
knowledge that Tegada has signally failed in the
United States to secure any loan, has frightened Mr.
Juarez and his miserable advisers, until they now
willing to do almost anything, or at least they say So
They have been deceived themselves, not by us, but
by their preudces and by their false notions of our
anxiety to mix up in their affairs. They are an ex
ceedngly vain and pompous people, unwilling to ac-
knowledge or unable to see their inferiority to u.s.
and the best of them are led away to believe that
when Mexico enters the markets of New Orleans
backed by our recognition, she can obtain whatever
is desired on the most unsubsantial securities. They
fools enough to think that trust their honor or
veracity, although we have been thrty-six years
learning that they have neither the one the other


This singular folly led them to reject Mr.. McLane's
offer after he had recognized the Juarez Government;
and they did not learn their mistake until he left and
Tegada met with cold shoulders every angle in the
cities of New Orleans and New York.


These depressing circumstances have scared Juarez
into his present amiabe mood, but it will not last
unless Miramon actually menaces him from the rear .
1t would be another piece of folly in McLane, equal
to his April mischief if he should precpitately return
to Vera Cruz under the representations which will
very soon reach him from this place. studied plan
is matured to draw him back, and although believe
it is intended to treat think it is also determined to
cheat him again, provided the present pressure is
removed Great danger menaces the Vera Cruz Go.

is etfectualy worn out. His money is gone his re-
sources failing, his friends falling off, his en-
emy is increasing, and the Liberal Government will
be thing of the past in very short time, provided
it does not receive some backbone from US.


WHAT THE UNITED STATES PROPOSES TO Do.


In the meantime It'll the policy and the plan of our
Legation to remain perfectly quiet, ready to take
advantage of the eventualities as they may arise.
The Mexican President knows just what we want
and he can up to the mark without any further
rigmarole He knows that his signature is needed to


certain treaty, guaranteeing US certain favors, and
all be has got to do is to redeem his PROMISE put his
fist to the document and receive our support. That
is, this was all he required to execute two months
ago, and suppose our Government has not enlarged
upon the demand.


We can rest easy for while. There is no pressing
urgency that demands an instant treaty, and think
one of these contingencies will be sufficiently de.
veloped within few months even weeks, as to
allow our Government to take decisive advance in
this direction. First, according to official announce
ment the Liberals are to be in the City of Mexico by
the last of October. That gives them the country,
and allows US to treat with Juarez as with an officer
responsible to US for just recamations, and not as
poor, pitiabe patriot, driven to the wall by traitors.
.s.l
are already in state of war with his Government,
and it only needs public proclamation to send armies
into the country. Thirdly, matters may maintain
the Statu quo, in which we shall have to inter-
vene as peace officer, and occupy the country.


WHAT BOTH PARTIES PROPOSE TO Do.


Juarez proposes, If he can get loan in the United
States to bring 1000 men in the field and put an
immediate end to the war. He can do this, provided
he does not appoint Degoado to command, for
with incapable General, men are of no use. With
a competent commander, and plenty Of money, the
Liberals can bring into the field such an overwhelm
ing force, equipped with such superior arms that it
will be impossible to resist them If they do not get
the oan they propose to march upon the capital with
diminished force and attempt to beat the Conserva
tives with $4,000 men. This is the programme for
Juarez, and it is very scaly one.


Miramon has proposed to the Church that if it will
give him large amount of money in the way of
loan (say S5,OO0,OOO) he will restore the country to
peace and the Church to its privileges and property
The result of his offer has not TRANSFERRED although it
is generally credited that it has been accepted as
most of the bishops were in favor of it, If he does
get the loan he muster large army and although
it will be badly equipped, nevertheless it will most


likely be successful and that result is certain provided

The END OF IT ALL, WHATEVER MAY BE THE FATE


OF MIRAMoN OR JUAREz.


It is my impression, whatever may be the fate of
the two demagogues who pretend to rule the country
that Mexico is doomed to remain distracted and at
war, until she ultimately comes under our flag, or
until she crunbles into many pieces the Central
Republic did after the revolution Of Guatemala. This
country has not got the elements of order and sabil
ity which are necessary to preserve her peace and
more particularly is this the when there so
many American ideas abroad in the land, constantly
inviting them to aspire to that position to which they
are not intelligent Or honest enough to occupy. A
constant jealousy makes them emulous to initiate us,
and an lndoent and dishonest feeling always prevents
them from doing it and when they fall their hatred
of US as people increases with their defeat


They are therefore, bound to continue in state Of
uudiCuyJ auu WuLe Ill ILLS uSOfQer, tleV hound
to inJure and oppress our people. This will lead
ultimately to war, for we cannot bear always 1t is
hard to stir our people up to that pitch of excitement
which is necessary to commence fight, particularly
with weak State but ten years of wrong and out
rage against us has suced to bring about that state
of feeling. There are but few people in the United
States to-day who do not recognize the necessity of
coming to settlement with Mexico, and when they
know that treaty cannot be made which will cover
the case, they will say that the sword must decide
| the matter.


If we had any other President than Mr.. Buchanan,
this matter would have been terminated long since
but Congress the people trusted the present Chief
Magistrate of the nation sufficiently to put the work
into his hands. Congress will probably take hold of
the difficulty in December and then is to be hoped
some energy will pursue the Mexican negotiation
that our citizens may not cry out from all quarters
for redress.
