MEXICO. rau AFFAIRS OF THAT REPERIAC. THE TEHIANTEPEC GRANT. PRANSLATION OF THR CONDITIONS IN FULL, AND THE Gorrespendence between Mr. Conkling and the Mexiean Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The Last Political Plan Adopted at Mexico. Protest against it by the State of Puebla. Letter of Invitation from General Uraga to Santa Anna, tie., den, de. The Tehuantepec Grant. The conditions ot the grant made by President Ceyallos to Mr. Sloo and Company, for the construo- tion of a road across the isthmus of Tehuantepec, having been somewhat incorrectly and imper- feetly reported by the New Orleans journals, from which we derived the information, we have caused the document itself to be trans- jated, and so publish it in full,as a matter in which the deepest interest is felt throughout this country. Our correspondent states apropos of thi Remarks have been made concerning the security and ratifica- tion of this grant, and it has been said that since the Mexican republic refused to ratify the Garay grant, their sincerity in making this one cannot be depend- edon. The latter grant, however, was abrogated on what appeared to be suflicient grounds. It was re- jected on the ground that Mr. Garay not having fulfilled its stipulations to undertake the work within a certain time, the grant became null and void. The Mexican government disclaimed and refused to re- eognise the extension of time given to Mr. Garay by President Salas, as being unconstitutional, and there- fore invalid. The grant to Mr. Sloo was given under the follow- ing circumstances :—When General Arista resigned the Presidency, Mr. Cevallos, President of the Su- preme Court of Justice, assumed the Presidential chair by virtue of his office, and he was afterwards confirmed by Con, 3 a3 President of Mexico, to fill | the vacancy caused by the resignation of Arista, | The same Congre nd Senate invested Cevallos | with extraordinary powers for the following three | months, during which he was to be beyond the con- trol of Congress or Set d to be at liberty to | conduct the affuirs of th try without consult- | ing these bodies. Such dictatorial powers the Con- | gress and Senate are coustitution, empowered to | bestow; and it was under and by virtue of the right | thus vested in him, that President Cevalles made the contract with the Sloo Company, which we give @ continuation. Our correspondent further states, since Mr. Poin- sett we have not had a minister in Mexico who not | only took such a deep interest in the affairs of the | American residents, but who, by is personal influ: | ence, has é¢ffecto so much goou for the commerce of the United =i. ag our present minister, Judge u magine to what advantage, | Conkling.

How he’has the interest of the American citi- Yens at heart is shown by the fact that he has got the goods of Mr. Albert Speyers released, after the former jminister had tried his hand at it for a long time and failed. Those goods, amounting to nearly $800,000, had been kept for over a year by the Mexiy can government, and though the owner has sustain- ed a foes by them of nearly $170,000, difference of price between the time that the high duties existed and the present, yet it is much for him to have got fhem even now, as it is probable the climate might have ruined the whole lot if it had-been kept any [From the Boletin Official of Mexico, February 9, 1853 ] Office of the Minister of Home and Foreign Affirs.

One of the passen- | gers on board this vessel was Mr. Manuel Maria Ser- | rano, Cefe Pcliiico of Vera Cruz. This gentleman | comes in quest of Mr. Buenaventura Vivo, Consul of | Mexico: to this port (Havana.) They are then to | proceed together as envoys to Carthajzena, to invite | General Santa Anna to return to the republic to place himeelt at the head of the nation. According | to the official payers which we have at hand, Mr. Vivo bas been relected for this mission by the present government cf Mexico, at the request of the mer- chants of that city ard of Vera Cruz. We are ver; much pleased to see this friend of ours favored wit! such marked covtiderce and sympathy. The same journal of the 2oth ult., contains the following:—We continue to lay before our readers items of Mexican news. These we shall preface with a lew explanations. All the memvers of the federal and liberal party of Mexico appear disappointed at the turn taken by revolution, aud at the dictatorship, which appeurs to be imminent. The conservative party, on the con- trary, without di-tinction, hail thts change with joy, and public opinion generally appears to side with ‘Lem. Meanwhile, the leaders of the Vera Cruz movement, somewhat at a loss what to do since the death of Mr. Arvillaga, remain on their guard, and passively await the decision of General Santa Anna, in order, if possible, to conciliate, ax they perhaps expect, tLe rule of this chief with the preservation ot the federation—in uame, if nothing more. Mean- while, all the parties agree in wishing to place Santa Anna at the head oi the new government; and his arrival, which is awaited with anxiety, appears to be the prevailing feature in the present state of affairs. Itis impossible, as yet, to say whether new complications will arise or not, but the probability is that they will not. If we are tu judge from the precedents afforded us by this man’s career, we must inter that he will de cide for a dictatorship, frankly and unambiguously, without any traces of federation. Private informa- tion, from a reliable source, confirms us in this belief. Rufino Redrigves, the young man who was shot at Tampico on the 12th Feb., at two in the morning, appears to have been conspiring with Caravajal to realize his annexationist plans. The authorities | have taken possession of an extensive correspon- dence between these two individuals, revealing a | conspiracy of this character. A eomneny of the Eighth proceeded to arrest him, with the Nationals of Altamira, who were under his command. Resort ‘was had to arms, and, in the brief skirmish that en- sued, one man was killed and several wounded. Rodriguez, having been tried by a council of war, was sentenced, and shot on the spot. The following is the official recall of Gen. Santa Anna by Gen. Uraga, the Chief of the Revolution :— ays Exceuexcy, &c., Geyerat Ayxtomo Lore, pm SANTA NN After the consummation of the revolution in at. Jalisco ox the 13th September, and after the definite ox- reesion of itsend and object in the politieal plan of juadalajara, on the 20th of October, 1852, I deem itmy duty to address this communication to your Excellency, and to inform you of all the events which have taken es and which have fallen within my know! , oo Jeneral-in-C hief of all the States which have taken up the cry of Jalisoo. Your Excellency is well aware from personal oxpe- rience, that perty spirit and personal jealousy have in our country tainted with their poisen both men and things: that your Excellency yourself has been the vic- tim of the fury of passions “that men actuated by a spirit of greedy speculation, have trafficked in the name of your Excellency; have first dishonored, then aban doned you in mistortune, and have afterwards sought to estore your Fxcelleney to power by moans of fores. Though separated your Texcellene: by o dis- jleasure which I have never deserved, and reason of facta which I viewed in a different light from yourself, I have never taken these antecedenta into consideration, either in supporting the government of General Arista, 0 long a did net break his oaths, nor in resisting with force of arms the recall of your Excellency by vio- lent and illegal means. The revolution of Jalisoo, which propored to inaugurate an epoch of peace and order, justly consigned in {ts plan the name of your Ex: Dey, a8 # tribute for past servieos, and asa satis- fection for the serious offences which your Excellency bad received frem the onslaught of the furious passions whieh bad caused your emigration to a foreign country. ‘This recall was approvedand adopted by me, beeause fa it 1 neither saw nor understood a iotation te the coun. try that your Exceliency should rale it against its will ; or even were thi+ to take place. your Excellency could effect no gsod; for ro guard the interests, home and foreign, of the country, and to save the independence of the republic, ite ruler must depend upon the efficient co- operation of all its citizens, and the union of all opinions and sentiments. So patriotic an end could not possibly Le me mor reasonaby expected by resorting to violer ce. ‘Ihese truths, which, for me, are undeniab'e truths, are for certain yersons errors, which they would eorrect by means of violence, to which I shall rever lend my assia- tapee, and which I shall oppose in any situation in which I may find myrelf. Now. the nation invites your Excellency to return to your fiat Ao home a» soon as you may find it conye- niest; and in extending this invitation I fulfil the obl: tion which I contracted om placing myself at the head of the Jalisco movewent.

The provisional government spoken of in the plan of October 20 last past, being established, my mission has now come toa close, and all that I now have to do is to ceclare to your Excellency that I have, av a soldier and a gentleman, fulfilled all the duties which I had under- taken Ibeg your Excellency to reeolye the assurance of my reepect and consideration.

You are aware that hostilities have broken out afresh in Montenegro, which is made the mere cloak to cover up the plots of Austria and Russia, who are attempting to make the war a question of Christian perseoution. This is, however, a mere trick. It is simply the re-acting of the fable of the “lion and the lamb.” Bussia and Austria have resolved to conquer Turkey, and they wish to secure the non-interference of the western powers, by getting up the fulse cry of “ Christian persecution by the Mahometans.” In England, how- ever, the trick is being scen through, and will there- fore fail in deceiving the public:— EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OONSTANTINOPLE, DATED Feb. 5. 3 General Leiningen, the Austrian Minister Pleni- tentiary, arrived on January 13th, to settle the Tiarenoes between Austria and the Porte. His ar- rival was so mneepeotet that Colonel Ross (of the British embassy) despatched, that same nine the English government steamer to Malta. ‘hough very great secrecy is observed about General L.'s mission, still I have information from good sources, that the following are his principal demands upon the Porte: First—The supremacy or protectorate over all the Christian population in the provinces adjoining the Austrian territory. Second—The payment of eighteen millions, which the Croats claim for the excavation of coal mines. Third—The cession of sovereignty on the par of Turkey, over certain tracts of land near the Boca di Cattaro, belonging by right and de fucto to Turkey, in virtue of treaties stipulated with Austria. Fourth—The recognition of the independence of Montenegro. To back these demands, 15,000 Austrian troops are ut in march towards Ragura. General Leiningen Tomanded, peremptorily, areply to these demands in three days. And thus answered Mchemet Ali, Grand Vizier oi the Porte :-— ‘That he does not want any delay, and can give at once his answer, as follows:— ‘ That with respect to the cession of soverciguty over any part of her territory, the Turkish govern- ment will not yield a hair's breadth. That the Christian subjects of his imperial majesty, the Sultan, do not want any foreign protection, a3 they are not oppressed, and enjoy the most perfect authority in the administration of their religious mat- ters, without any interference with their liberties of conscience; and above all, they do not want the pro- tection of such a sovereignty as the house of Austria, which, to so many sworn treaties (yuaranteed almost by every European power, and by England es; postal) has just proved itself unfaithiul, so that both the liberty of conscience and every vestige of free ad- ministration, have been taken from the Protestants of Hungary. That no parallel can be drawn between the condition of the Chris subjects of that Chris- tian emperor and the condition of tiie Christian sub- jects of the Turkish Sultan, in the provinces bordering upon Austrian territory, in Moldavia and Wallachia. That in these provinces, the Mussulman emperors have abandoned, centuries ago, even the right to ex- ercise their own (the Turkish) religion, and they have kept the stipulations to that effect. In Servia, the Turkish religion is restricted to the fortresses garrisoned by Turks. In Bosnia the rajahs have revolted and been vanquished. And what was their punishment? They were placed on aneqnality with their conquerors, in civil, political,and religious rights. In Montenegro, the Turkish government has never interfered in any way, either in civil, political, religious, or military matters; and as to the recogni- | tion of the independence of Montenegro, the Porte has only to remind the Austrian government of its own conduct with regard to Hungary and Italy. Ae was the courageous reply of Mehemet Ali acl ‘ive this news from good authority, and the well known character of Ali, in some measure con- firms it. Public expectation is alive in Constantinople, to know what steps England will take in the matter. Lord Stratford, the English ambassador, is expevted in Constantinople soon. The Montenegrins have been completely beaten by the Turks; therefore, in a military sense, the war is over, but it is expected that in a political sense it is only beginning. The plea which the Austrians put in for making such demands, is that some Tarkish vessels have yeee through Austrian waters, near Cuttano, and hence committed trespass on Austrian territory! The territory which they wish ceded con- sists of several islands on the Dalmatian coast. Omar Pacha, the Turkish general who has con- quered Montenegro, is the hero of the day. He has stated in his despatches that General EE eit who served in his army here, fought most bravely. Our Paris Correspondence. Pazis, Feb. 17, 1853.

There is much talk here about the sacre of the Emperor, which, aceording to all reports, is to take place from the firat to the fifth of May next. Tho day is not yet decided. Where will it take place? This is another unsettled question. Either at Notre Dame or at Rheims, where the kings of the Bourbon family used to be consecrated. Louis Napoleon hesitates between the two places; but his secret penchant is for Notro Dame, where his uncle was crowned; and everything leads me to believe that there the ceremony will be made. It is eortain that the Pope will come to France for that oecasion. I spoke, a few days ago, to the secretary of the Pope's Nuncio, who knew, by the legation, what ne- gotiations had already taken place between Parisand Rome, and was able to assure me that Pius LX. had given his consent to come to France. Thus we shall see the Pope ere long. Will he. ever return to Rome, or will he stay at Avignon? This isthe question. ‘The journalists ond correspondents arrested for sending the true account of French politics to the independent press of Europe, are still, with a few ex- ceptions, kept prisoners at Mayar. There are four- teen still in prison, and though they are now allow- ed to receive their relatives and friends in their cells, they are not aware of the crime of which they are accused. It is said that they will be exiled from France, and forbidden to return. Whilet this extraordinary law suit and sequestra- tion of citizens is going on, other extraordinary arrests have taken place in the neighborhood of the Northern railway. I must premise that the Jndepen- dence Belge, and the Emancipation, both excellent newspapers of Brussels, have organized here a body of reporters, from whom they receive daily a com- plete report of all that takes place in Paris and in France, in the political, financial, and gossiping line. These gossipers belong to all parties, and the news- papers are well informed of everything. As a mat- ter of course, the French police desire often to have things and facts unknown out of France, and they try by all means to prevent this correspondence be- ing received at Brussels. On many occasions, those letters have been opened at the post office, and sup- pressed. But this becoming known, the editors of | the Independence and Emancipation had organized armuggling system, by which their letters wero, every evening, entrusted to the care of tho agents of the railroads, and delivered Ly them in Brussels The police of the Emperor having discovered this ar- rangement, have arrested all these agents, and they will he tried in a few days, on a charge of defrauding the post ofiice. | The Gazette de France has received from the Min- ister of Police, an avertissement, for having publish- | ed that a seareh had heen made in the oflice of M. | Rothschild, and this was denied by the govern- ment. Several newspapers of the provinces, b; which the same scignificant news had been repeated, have also received tie same threatening warning.

The balcony just before m window, is covered with nine inches of snow, an our streets are as white as alabaster. The oarriag. are runing with much difficulty, and if the dnow storm does not cease, no doubt to-morrow no hac will be able to be driven in Paris. You have no ide in the United States, how Paris, deprived ¢ its ordinary noise and excitement, looks. .W seem to be buried ina grave of alabaster; or Pari appears to us asif its inhabitants had been all ser out of the gates. Unfortunately, the sleighs are nc in sufficient number—the carriage-manufavturers ha not foreseen the event, and we shall have no fun. have no doubt thata ‘ ree ree " would becom quite fashionable these days; but how could we ge it? That is the question. 3 Vhilst the snow is thus burying us under its whit sheet, the spring season is still continuing in th south part of France; and, on Sunday last, at Mar eeilles, a thunder storm took place, with all its ac companiments of lightning and electricity, whic! caused much astonishment in the country. A wee! before, at Algiers—under the tropic—a snow storn was taking place, and the streets of the city, as wel as the outskirts of Algiers, were buried under si: inches of snow. Decidedly, the old world is totally up and down, politically and physically. Wha next? On the evening of the 14th I witnessed,from thi heights of Montiartre, (a suburb of Paris,) a very interesting natural phenomenon, which is reall} worth being mentioned here. During three minute: we bebeld upon a cloud, which was lighted by the moon, the image of Paris, with its monuments, it: river Seine, and even its inhabitants, who appearec as if they were walking on their heads. This loom ing scene created much sensation in the part of the city trom where it was seen. Unfortuately, the clouc which was the mirror of Paris, was soon chase¢ away by the wind, and the apparition disappeared. The ice is so scarce in Paris that the ice cream con fectioners have formed an association to send tc Sweden and Norway twenty shipsto be loaded witk this useful and much wanted article. It has been calculated that bey will return just in time for the grand soirées of the government, which are to be given after Enster Sunday. “Uncle Tom” is not dead, as it has been reported. and as I had reported it myself, from the public rumor. The mammoth ox is still alive, and enjoying excellent health, at the stable of M. Bellamy, the imperial butcher, and will be killed and sold at the market for the day of the mi-caréme. ‘The gay season i3 not buried, despite the Lent, ami I have to mention here several large parties which have been given these last few days in Paris, and at which many Americans were present. The most magnificent among them was that given by Sir Rich- ard Tufton, a distinguished Englishman, who lives in the house formerly occupied by Madame de Lava-' lette, (formerly Mts. Wells,) at which a large num-| ber of Englishmen, Frenchmen, and a select number of Americans, assembled. Lady Tufton did the honors of ber house with much sour ana amiability, and: her distinguished husband d her in grand style.. Mrs. Blacque and her husband, Mrs. Post, son and) daughter Mx. Davidson, and Madame de Lavalette, were present, not to forget the illustrious M. Scribe, the French writer for theatres, who was present with his wife. Many beautiful women were also in the saloon of Sir Richard, who elicited unusual ad- muiration. Madame Cioodrich, on the 11th, also had a id party, at which all the American ladies and gentlemen attended. The dancing was very fine, and the entertainment perfect. Mrs. Moulton also gale Ercare intéme, to which hor friends only were invited. } Thus, as it may be seen, tho carnival is going on bon gré mal gré,and the pleasure season be con- tinued till the holy week. An ent of electric light has been made in Paris, which has proved successful, from the top of the Tower St. Jaques la Coucherie, s0 as to illumi- nate the whole of Rue de Rivoli.

The fifth hall contains the relics of Napoleon, his i his Spy glass, his hats, his saddles, his table at Helena, the cradle of the King of Rome, &c. Onthe whole this museum looks like the shop of a Jew, for it contains a very anomalous assemblage of all sorts of things; and I have heard many amateurs re; ting that the armor of the French Kings had not left at the Museum of Artillery, the books at the Im- erial Library, the saddle at the Crinean collection, c.&c.

They consist of three su- rb giraffes,a lion and a lioness, a panther, a striped yena, and a sheep, from the Soudan country; red monkeys, from Kordofas; a green monkey, (vet rare,) from Fasongloa, and six gazelles, roe aka} from Arabia; two ostriches, male and female; two vultures, of Sennaar; ‘and four geese, whose feet are armed with horn spurs. There are also four blue guinea hens, which are magnificent birds. They all came in the Labrador, the steamship on board of which Abd-el-Kader was taken to Brousse. A whale of immense size was thrown by the tide on the shores of Algiers, near that city, at St. Eugenie, on the 5th inst. Tho Arabs took sion of the carcass, to seoure the oil contained flesh and the spermacetti of the head. The theatres have been doing an excellent busi- nesa for the last two months, and I think it curious to report here the sums of money which were received at these places of umusoment in Jan last. The receipts of the theatres pensioned by the government were 242,169 francs; those of the Vaude- ville theatres, 655,128 francs; those of the concerts, 114,692 franca; and those of the curiosities and exhi- bitions of all sorts, 1,123,497 francs.
