The News from Mexloo—Letter from General Comonfoxt. The edvices from Mexico, which we publish this morning, report no material change in the positions of the belligerent parties, The gov- ernment of Zalonga is still ia the arcendant in the capital, whilst iis enemies hold possession of ali the principal ecaports. It is evident that as long as this state of things continues the eburch party have no assurance of thelr being able to make good their hold of the supremo power. Whilst the cnstoms revenues of the country are in the hands of their opponents, they will be compelied to rely upon their own resources for means to carry on the struggle. Now, although the clergy may be disposed to surrender part of their wealth to secure the po- litical objecta which they have in view, experi- ence proves that their disinterestedness is not to be counted upon to an unlimited extent. Mexican priests have but little of the apostolic spirit in them, and they sre not inclined’ to weer sackcloth and ashes for the sake of a prin- | ciple. They are willing, it is eaid, to advance | another million of dollars to the new govern- ment; but further than this they will not go. Under these circumstances it is clear that | Zuloago and bis associates will be compelled to have recourse to forcign ald if they hope to maintain themselves in their present position. Bat where is this aid to come from? . Spain | will not ¢: riainly furnish it, for two reasons: In the first place che has not got the money at ber disporal, and in the next, she dare not en- gage in any project in connection with Mexico which would be likely to compromise her with the United States. As to the idea entertained by a small party of visionaries in the republic that Louis Napoleon may be induced to supply cither material or moral support to the schemes of thore who favor Eoropean tatervention, it is timply absurd. He has cnough todo to hold his own, without engaging in pc prises of +o unprofitable a chast ter. for religion is not, besides, so jrcat aa t him to undertake a military erusade susicnation of a system which has confess: y ruined this fine couatry. Now let us exemi: actual position of all these hostile elements, and it will bo weon that there is but one aliernative left to the new ad- ministration if it hopes to inaintuin itself for any time in power. Juarez is still in the country, and may succeed in ogain rallying around him the friends of constitutional goverament. All the principal senports, including Vera Cruz, are, as we have tated, in the hands of the op | , | cal enter r ponents of the church party, whilst two oxter- | nal dangers tlmeaten them from abroad. On the one hand they fear Santa Anna, who, aa it will be even, ds pressing General Concha for Spanish troops to aid himin marching upon the capital, and on the other hand they are in still greater dread of Comonfort, who is said to be backed by Walker and the North American | Olivasters, Of Santa Anna's designs there can- not be the smallest dowbt since the publication of the correspondence tcized by General Garza. | With regard to General Comonfort's projects we are of couree bound to accept the arsurances in the following communication, which he has jast addressed to us:— TO THE VITOR OF THE NEW YORK mean. mt eR New Ontzaney April ®, ae 4 Bum! ‘our ¢rtoem: on to the Dbth of March fast, have urt ween am articlo hond “Mexico and our Relations with Mexico,” as woll asa copy of a letter in which certain projects are altributed to me in regard to Mexico, ig conection with Mr. Walker and rereral other persons.

But in addition to these obetackes to the consolidation of the church regime, it will be recollected that Gencrals Garza, in Tamaulipas, and Vidaurrt, in New Leon, have each designs of their own, which are frreconellable with it. Tho founda tion of a new confederation, under the tite of ‘he Sierra Madre Republic, hae long been the favorite political dream of the latter. Whether Geava will lend his aid to the fartheraxce of thie project is uncertain, but It is evident that a of | one for bia assistance in getting tho law passed Zaloags” beact with difficulties which it will or managing the epecalation; indeed, he thinks be impossible tor it to surmount without the | that the Garden owes bim a trife; but be ad- command of large ums to corrupt and buy up | mits that if any profit was realized he wasto ite opponente bave a share cf the «poils, Most probably it In euch a étate of things we 6ee no otber al- | would have been the Hon's share. No one will ternative left the new government thaa the fa | accuse Weed of*the weakness of giving his miliar resource of Mexican administrations—a | valuable services as a lobby agent for nothing. ate of territory to the United States, So little “oubl prevails as to its intentions in this re- spect that already the States of Sonora and Cbibuabue bave taken the alarm and published etrong protests against their being thus dis- pored of. There is no doubt, however, that if Vidaurri were to carry out his project of the Sicrra Madre confederation he would easily be induced to purchase the moral support and countenance of our government by the cession of Sonora. From what we have étated, as well as from the general tenor of the letters that we publish, it will be seen bow important it is that our inte- rests should be sdéquately represeuted in Mexico in the present critical state of af- fsirs, Ié is our conviction that if a apeoial envey, thoroughly convereant with the Spanich language and race, and with the history of partics in that country, were seat dowa just now, tho ccesion of Sonora, and pos- sibly of Chihuahua, and the cetablishment of a virtual protectorate over the republic, might be ebtained. It is certain that with a Minister like Mit Forsyth, who is a stranger alike to the language and institutions of the country, and whose repested failures to obtain the ratifica- tion of his treaties by onr government has damaged him irretrievably in the eyes of the Mexican people, we shall never advance a step nearer the fulfilment of the policy which ovents sccm to mark out. We therefore desire to im- press upon the administration the expedieacy of their revising their diplomatic arrangements in regard to Mexico, and of despatching there come agent on whose intelligence, ca- pacity and local experience full relinuce may Le placed. Pe Tis Paciric Ramnoay anp tus Teneceari Across Tax Pix The two most practical, if not the most important, questions which have been before the present session of Congress ~ the Pacific Railroad and the telegraph across ‘the Plains—have been adjourned over to De- cember next, while the whole time of that body hes been frittered awsy upon the Kansas nui- sance. This is a fulr illustration of the mauner in which affairs are managed by our legislators. , As far as the Pacific Railroad is concerned no Spanish Intatguzs in Cuba—A Chance for Gen. + Concha. . A discuesion bas just taken place in the Span- ich Sezate which may lead to important deve- lopewents in relation to the Island of Cuba, M. Vasquez Queipo called the attention of the Senate to what he called the maladministration and estravagance of the present Governor of Cube, General Concha; he ehowed or pretended to show that eince General Concha took the di- reetion ef afairs on the island, not only has no revenue been derived from thence, but fifty-four millions of dollars have been borrowed from the budget to supply deficiencies; that whereas in 1853, when, according to M. Vasquez Queipo, { the island was terribly menaced by filibusters, | the deficiency was ovly $11,000,000, now, when profound peace reigus and nobody threatens |-Cuba, the deficiency is $15,000,000; that the ex- | pense of the police of Havana has increased from 240,000 reals under Tacon to 4,000,000 under Concha; that Concha is an irresponsible despot, affecting the power and state of an inde- Pendent monarch, and actually cetting up min- istries and putting them down after the fashion of her most Catholic Majesty. All this M. Vas- quez Queipo pressed upon the notice of the Sponish Senate, and prayed fora thorough in- quiry into the state of Cuba, with a view to some reorganization of her political institutions, It seems that the President of the Council was taken by surprise, snd deprecated any fault finding at present. He answered for General Concha’s ability and rectitude, and thought matters could not be disturbed without mischief growing cut of the disturbance. No doubt the President was right. So very miaematic a pool as the administration of Cuba cannot be stirred without some unfragrant ema- nations. But if it be true that Cuba is drawing upon the Spanich budget at the rate of fifteen millions a year, it is quite evident that all the bad odors in the world will not prevept inquiry and revolution at some not distant day. No European government, much lees the miserable, poor, insolvent government of Spain, can afford to sustain a colonial dependency at such a cost as this, Spain owes it to her creditors as well as to her people to caulk co fatal a leak. And if it is to be stopped—as it must, or Spain will one doubts its usefulness; but it may be sald | become utterly bankrupt—the sooner it isdone that the pretext upon which it has been laid | the better; for cvery day the attitude of Cuba over—namely, the difficulty of selecting a route | beeomes more precarious, and no one can tell without creating sectional animosity—has seme | at what hour there may not arise a new Lopez truth in it.

Brra.—The bill to raive #5,500,000 Ly loan for the completion of the canals was defeated in the Senate on Satur- day. It is possible that it may be brought up again, as the Legislature does not adjourn till to-morrow afternoon at five o'clock. If there are no particularly objectionable clauses in the bill we tee no reason why it should not pass The canals eurely ought to be completed, and there i# no honest and practical way of raising the money except by loan. The | filibustering which has gone on in tho Assembly | about taxing railways, banks, and savings banks does not mean anything; the Legislature might as well pass an act imposing the cost of completing the canals on Willlam B. Astor and Cornelius Vanderbilt; Leeause they happen to be rich men, a# attempt to raise the money re- quired by special toxes on speclal Interests. If thé canals are completed tho benefit will accrue to the whole people of tho State; there- | fore the people should pay the cost of the com- | pletlon, The only mauner in which this can be | done ia by a loan, a6 proposed. Tuvetow Wren asp Hw Castix Garpes Srrcuratios—There is no portion of the evi- gation Committee of the House more important and more Interesting than that given by Cheva- lier Thurlow Weed, which we publish in another column. From bis own words the fact appears that be has been (he head and front, tne Alpha and Omega, the manager ond principal étar actor in all the transactions of the emigrant depot, from the passage of tho law in 1856 down lo a late period, if not to the present mo ment, The few facts which he consonted to di- vulge are sufficient to convinco every unpreja- ‘diced person that he had systematically ar- arranged @ monstrous emigrant dodge estab: lichment, Ilo was the grand genorallsimo of the concern. The Commissioners of Emt- gation and the allroad companies sut- rendered all control over the inside sub: ordinates, and Invested Weed with ‘unlimited pewcr to employ and pay whom he might de- tire, oad at ems out of the “twenty per cont” No more fovoratle opportantty for ite realize | he might choose to distribute, Tho Ohevaller Lal itappears it is not to be. The undertaking | aud the saluwble time of Congress continues to | ve occupied, at the exponse of such practical quire—-in thé event of a reorganization of the | Cuban system—what would become of General Concha? There sppears to be no question of the ability of Gen. Concha. It seems to be generally admitted that he is one of the ablest Governors Caba has over had; also that he is @ fur seeing statesman, with views far wider than those of most Spanish politicians. It is well known | thet his popularity among the wealthy and in- | flacntial planters of the island is unbounded. | Yet, notwithstanding these decided qualifica- | the government of Spain will be driven, for the | sake of economy, to eacrifice him, aud to adopt a new plan with Cuba. His idea has evidently j been to make the island prosper—the money | | Whick he hes spent has been not for the benefit ef Cuba, but for the maintenance of Spanish dominion there. The Spanish idea, on the con- | trary, is to equeeze all the revenue possible out , of Cuba, and ict the island take care of iteclf. | 1f—and we fiave shown that it must come to that-—ihe Spanish government are driven to reenl] Couche, and lo adopt a new plan with Cuba, the gist of their policy must be to cut down all expenses of government aud civil ad- | ministgotion to the very lowest point consistent | with their dominion, and to squeeze as much | money ou of the planters and people of Caba as | they can. tacitly consenting to so nefarious a scheme as this?’ Will the planters and rich men of Cuba quietly acquiesce in a change designed openly i | | for their spoliation and the impoverishment of | the island? We think not. And it scems quite likely that if General Coucha had the nerve to anticipate cventa by taking the lead in a movo- | ment for the emancipation of Cuba from Span- | ish thraldom, he would sucoeed beyond all | question, and would place himself in a line with | Washington, Bolivar, and the great men of this | continent. Cuba, freed from Spain, and ostab- | ished on a self governing basis—ihe form of government is of little consequence—with a | man of the experience and eagacity of Concha } at the head ‘of affairs, would very epeedily be- come a lower of importance in the world of nations She would save all the money which Spanish rapacity las been in the habit of wrencbing from her. She would be enabled to reduce her duties to a point which would pro- | mote trade, enterprise and industry within her | | borders. She would be spared the inconve- - | nience and humiliation of a colonial condition. Of the success of « movement for the eman- | cipation of Cuba, there can be no quetion at } ail, provided it were undertaken by the right | dence given before the Castle Garden Investi- | men. Spain could make no respectable fight without the aid of Pagland; and the policy laid down by Mr. Canning, thirly years ago, would apply with forco enough in this cause to tte ’ England's bands, and prevent her aiding to reconquer a people fighting for tndepondence It is to be presumed morcover that this coun would not be a silent @pectator of conflict at our doors between Unbs and Spatn There could be no good’ reaeon for a refuse ou the part of our government to recogaive the independence of Cuba; and It woald evidently | be to our Intercet to cultivate the closest rela- tions with the young independent State. The safety of our commerce would ,hardly por- mit. the carrying on of a war in the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico, Indeed, if Spain wete wire, che would not resist a movement for the aretrtlon of Cuban independence; hat, seeing clearly in the future nothing but expouse vad danger to be gained by the retention of the Islard, world’ lend her aid to the chingy for tions for the post, it appears quite likely that | Will General Concha, whos fame is so in- { ; feparably connected with the prosperity of the | fair Queen of the Antilles, be a party even | al ‘which the tlmes call, and which ral Concha’s policy to — Tue Last Merve rEeTO.—The procla- mation of the friends of Orsini and Pierri, which we publish eleewhere, deserves a place among the curiosities of literature, or at least the post of honor in the editorial columns of the Tribune. By a curious course of argument the philosophers who “ admire” Orsini would make us believe that the killing of certain innocent persons in the Rue Lepelletier was a Christian and philanthropic act, and that those who exe- crate aseassination are the enemies of human liberty. The “admirers” further proceed to Jaunch a beavy battcry of abuse at the French Emperor; but as they, like prudent philosophers, etand afar off, no damage will result to either party. As to the demonstration itself, it will be one of those curicus exhibitions which often ocour here, but which could not take place in any other civilized city under the eun. We have in fact a barbarian element in which mock philosophy and ruffianism meet and join hende, Equally “philanthropic” with the Orsini demonstration were the grand pro- eccesions in honor of those apostles of haman freedom, Bill Poole and Paudeen. They were the advocates of the doctrine of “individaal sovereignty” to itsfullestextent. Their friends chould unite in this procession to honor the men who threw the bombs in the Rue Lepel- letier, The philesophors of the school of the Tritwne, the Fourierites, the disciples of St. Simon, the Free Love clubs, the spiritaalists, and indeed all the people who are “philanthropic” or crazy upon any one point, should alo join in the tarnout. Then we shall have a splendid display :— 1, The friends of the lamented Poole and Paudeen. 2, The. red republicans of all nations, with all their manifestces. 3. The Tyibune philosophers, free lovers, spi- ritualists, Grahamites, &c., Ao. 4, Lucy Stone and all the petticoat philan- thropiete, with extra crinoline. 5. Philanthropists generally, with the pro- prictors of the gift swindies and humbug benevolent socicties, Theee harmonious elements, tastefully ar- ranged and combined with an artistic hand, would make a very pretty parade, People re- siding on the route of the procession would do well to remember that the maxim of Proudhoa, “property is theft,” is the first law of red repub- licaniem, and therefore button up their pockets and lock up their epoons. Ocr Rovat Goverxor.—Governor King, like good wine, inproves by age. Every fresh ap- pearance which he makes in public lends ad- ditional ridicule or disgrace to his political character. His last act was the veto of a bill allowing the Harlem railway to run cars to Thirty-second street with steam engines, on the ground (hear’ it, ye friends of the Metropolitan Police!) that it would be an infringement of municipal rights. Just fancy what we aro coming to if the last defender of municipal rights at Albany is Governor King!
