While this project was maturing, a forced loan of two millions of dollars, was imposed on indivi- duals, payable by drafts drawn on the venerable clergy. Of individuals, only the Senor PerezGalvez and hia sister, Don Bernadino Juco, and three or four other persons paid their quotas; and as to"the venerable clergy, the metropolitan chapter refused from the first to accept the drafts, and a sort of compromise was then made ; the venerable bishop of Guadalajara refused, and offered only. trifling sum ; from tho bishop of Durango no repl: if s been received ; the bishop of Puebla fused ; the bishop of Micheatan made uo reply, being engeged in visiting his diocese ; the reverend bishop of Oajaca, alone, whose patriotism and virtues the govern. ment will never cease to esteem, accepted promptly and fully.
