I told him that the proper thing to be done was to make a treaty providing for the rendiepared a rough draft of a treaty in accordance with our views, and Colonel Garza forwarded it, with his approval, to President Juarez, asking for investigation. While waiting for the return of the papers and instructions from the President I receieleased, and my adjutant brought me a note from the commanding officer, saying that he had just received a note from President Juarez authorizing him to make a treaty with me on the basis I had suggested, and asking for a conference at his headquartI signed as lieutenant-colonel, commanding Fort Duncan, for the Confederate Government. The treaty was forwarded to President Juarez, who approved it. I also sent it to President Davis, with copies of all correspondence on the subject, a statement o

Intelligence from Mexico. --Letters from Vera Cruz state that a Convention, held at the Capital, composed of officers of the Church and of the military, had appropriated $300,000 per month of the Churches funds to sustain Miramon in the defence of the capital. On the 5th the Juarez Government proclaimed that after April, 1861, all duties are to be paid in cash, half of which may be in sight bills on the city of Mexico, for the purpose of paying indemnities. All goods remaining in the Custom-House over one month shall be sold to pay duties. The various foreign Ministers, except the Minister of Spain, were at Jaiapa. Gen. Mata was the prominent candidate for Governor of Vera Cruz. Juarez has raised a loan of $600,000 for the purchase of supplies for the army now before the capital.

Later from Mexico. --The steamship Tennessee, which arrived at New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, brings dates from that port to the 23d, and from the capital to the 19th u-t.--Juarez had made his entry into the capital amid great rejoicings, and there were but two or three small armed bands of the beaten faction in the field, which might be easily dispersed. Isidro Diaz, one of Miramon's exministers, had been caught at Jalapa, and an order was transmitted from the government at the capital, torty which surrounded him by the free use of his revolver. The election for President took place on Sunday, the 20th ult., with what result is, of course, not known, though it is supposed by some that Lerdo de Tejada stands the best chance, since Juarez and Ortega have lost ground by their magnanimous clemency to vanquished enemies.--The new government will have their hands full. A number of foreign ministers have been dismissed, the governments of France and Great Britain have claims to prefer

at Vera Cruz, the Mayor dispatched special Howard to arrest him, with his baggage and papers. Mr. Fendall was brought before the Mayor, with all the packages of letters in his possession, and the Governor being informed of the fact, sent Col. Forstall to conduct Mr. Fendall to his presence. On the examination, it was ascertained that Mr. Fendall had been commissioned to carry dispatches from the Mexican Legation at Washington to the city of Mexico, and having delivered the same to President Juarez, was returning home as a private citizen. At Vera Cruz, while awaiting for transportation to New Orleans, he visited the United States ship Caledonia, and was requested by the officers thereof to carry a number of letters to the United States. The letters were all of a private character, except two for the Secretary of the Navy at Washington, and one for the Third Auditor, which simply contained ship accounts of the crew, &c., but nothing giving any important information. Mr. Fendall

rwards, in 1857, came the adoption of a new constitution for Mexico, the election of a President and Congress under its provisions, and the inauguration of the President. With in one short month, however, this President was expelled from the capital by a rebellious in the army, and the supreme power of the republic was assigned to Gen. Zuloaga. This usurper was in his turn soon compelled to retire and give place to Gen Moramon. Under the constitution which had thus been adopted, Senor Juarez, as chief justice of the Supreme Court, became the lawful President of the Republic; and it was for the countenance of the constitution and his authority derived from it that the civil war commenced, and still continues to be prosecuted. Throughout the year 1858 the constitutional party grew stronger and stronger. In the previous history of Mexico a successful military revolution at the capital had almost universally been the signal for submission throughout the republic. Not so on th

The City of Mexico was tranquil.

workmen have accepted the reduction proposed. Mexican affairs. The London Post, of the 31st August, says: The private letters addressed to some of our first house, connected with Mexico, describe the situation of affairs as very deplorable.--Nobody buys, nobody sells, and nobody pays. Beyond the capital there is in fact no Government, and the position is said to be far worse than during the last three years, when, at any rate, sixteen out of the twenty States were in favor of Juarez, while at present the republic is divided into three factions. The cessation of diplomatic intercourse by Sir Charles Wyke with the Juarez government (although for the moment the former could perhaps not have acted otherwise) is considered as calculated to retard matters instead of advancing them. The co-operation in that respect of the French Minister, M. de Saligny, is looked upon with mistrust, since France's claims upon Mexico are but trifling. Spain, after England, has the largest cl
