Interesting from Mexico. --We take the following paragraph from a letter dated City of Mexico, October 29, and published in the New York Herald: Strange whispers are on the air that the agent of the Confederate States, learning the proposed disembarkation of troops at Guaymas, offered $2,000,000 to this Government for the use of the port of Matamoras; all of which being reported to the Legation, the American Minister held out a counter offer of $6,000, 0000, and that, in great disgusMexico, October 29, and published in the New York Herald: Strange whispers are on the air that the agent of the Confederate States, learning the proposed disembarkation of troops at Guaymas, offered $2,000,000 to this Government for the use of the port of Matamoras; all of which being reported to the Legation, the American Minister held out a counter offer of $6,000, 0000, and that, in great disgust at the discovery that the Mexican Cabinet has only been playing with his eagerness to extort a higher bid from him, Mr. Corwin talks of going home in November. He will carry with him such treaties or conventions, for ratification at Washington, as the alarm of the Government shall suffer to remain intact. --Startled at the fact that Col. Pickett has denounced as an act of hostility to the rebels the license to pass U. S. troops through Mexican territory to invade Arizona and Texas, these peop
extracts from English journals, is to us incomprehensible. There are three European powers who are deeply interested in the progress of events in this country. These are Great Britain, France, and Spain. The joint expedition projected against Mexico appeared to be the first step in the direction of a direct intervention in the affairs of North America. But after indicating the terms of the triple alliance, the telegraph apprised us at the last moment that England had declined signing it, anding fleets of observation. "What motive or what scruple has so suddenly arrested England? Is she afraid of creating a new cause of difficulty with the Government of the United States, which has already announced its intention of sustaining Mexico in opposition to European intervention? This is difficult to conjecture, in view of the manner in which the Seward Circular, advising the Governors of the States to fortify the coasts of the sea and of the great Lakes, which separate the United

Mexico has treated us as ill as she treats her own citizens, and what worsmething more than the privileges of the most favored nation; for in Mexico all who come in contact with her bands of remorseless robbers are p
