Whilst at Mauheimo, a merchant there showod me an invoice whi.h Mr. Swendler had certified as sworn to before him, when, to my knowledze, the said merchant had not been away from Manheim, which he explained te me, that Mr. Sweadler did certify in that way any invoice or act when sent to him (with two d 8) by mail. Iam not sufficient- conversant with the laws ef our country to know such is in accer€ance with them, but I should think not, as thereby the door must be opened to fraud, to the injury of the honest importers. Tam far intending to draw the blame on Mr. Bwendler; I merely communicate facts to you; but our government is certainly to blame for continuing such an old gentleman in office, whose age and in- firmities have rendered him incepable, and un- fit to fulfil inties of the office; and his son-in- law, who acts for him, by never having been in our country, is unacquainted with our laws and institu- tions, and feels no interest to take the part of an injured American; besides, by being a subject of Frankfort, dare not oppose even the most unjust de- cree of the authorities. You, whose influence has #o shown itself at the election, ought to take such abuses in our consular system, into your hands, and to recommend the appointment of any gtntle- man to the Frankfort Consulate, who, whilst at- tending faithfully and with zeal to the duties of the consulate, would also personally prove an honor to our country. . Mayenoe, owing to being the terminus of tho rail- roads, and where passengers and Cony eve generally take the steamboat, would be a better situated lace for the Amorican consulate than Frankfort; But asl understand that Mayence, being a fedo- | ral fortress and under the immediate order of che German Diet, n0 foreign consul is permitted to re- side there; therefore, l'rankfort, as { presume, must be continued as the seat.

The Tehuantepec Question— Americans mw Mexico— The Hargous Claim—An Interesting Inove and Cowhiding Affair, $c. The discussion of the Tehuantepec question in this city outweighs all other subjects at present. Last week, when the matter came up for discussion before Congress, a new proposition was handed in from Captain Jonas P. Levey, by the Committes of if Petitions, and the question whether it should be admitted, was carried in the affirmative, by a vote of 42 to 24. Since thon, however, a multitude of difficulties have sprung up between the government and Cungress. At one time Captain Lovy’s pro- positionsiwere received, at another those of Bellange and of Garcia. But, yesterday, the offer most fa- vorably considered was that of the Guanajuata Com- pany, recommended by this frail government. The reason of the preference being given to this com ny is, that the State of Guanajaute has thro: a revolution against the Federal government if she is not awarded the contract for the construction of the Tebuantepeo route. Captain Levy has published, in the sae of Mexico, a protest against the un- ea lecison of Congress in nce to his ler. Judge Conkling and B. Smith passed through this city a few weeks since, the lattor en vous De. Gardiner’s mine. On the ith inst , in seoret session, &@ unanimous vote was teken by the Senators, do- manding the government to present within fifteen days ali contracis entered into with Messrs L 8.

I take the liberty of sending you by this day’s mail, two copies of the “Comercio” newspaper, pub- | lished in this city, each containing an article about | | the treatment reesived by two different fomale Gor- man emigrants, on the estates whore they wore brought. If you think them worthy of an ineer- | | tion in your paper, you will do humanity a benefit | by making them public, and warning emigrants of all nations from coming to this country. According to a recent law of Peru, slavery has been abelishod, and a)l children now bora, of slaves, are free. Thus, | in the course of a fow years, black slavery will have peared, and white substituted in its place. Emigrants are induced to come here, with dreams of tho riches of Peru, and afterwards are sold out for a term of years, and are treated much worse than the blacks ever were, for the simple reagon, that the planters or chacareros, as they are oallod here, do not have the same fear of the whites ae they have of the biacks. The person who iatro- duced white slavery here, has now gone to Hngland. He did it for speculation, the government here psy- irg 0 premiem for cvery emigrant introduced into the country.
