MEXICO. ‘Amprovements at the Capital—Public Chari- tiee—Tlow an Archbishop Created the Found- ling Asylum at the Capital, Cry oF Mexico, June 10, 1868. Aureliano Rivera is reported to have left this re- gion, and was expected by the troops of the govern- ment at San Juan del Rio. He is telegraphed as ap- proaching that place with two hundred men—rather asmall force. No serious results are expected from these movements; as soon as a respectable body of Angurgents can be discovered, troops will be sent out to take care of them, The Mexican troops are now paid! regularly; the first half of this month has been already received in advance, and they are well clothed, equipped, and fed. This 1s the best guaran tee of ticir faithfulness, Seflor Pliego, carried off for ransom near Toluca, has not yct been heard from, He was a rich man, 4nd doubticss is held ina respectable sum; but al- though they now ask several thousand dollars for ransom, they generaily are content with a few hundred. In these dull times, even the plagiarios have to be considerate, But while there 1s so much complaint of the dul- ‘neas of business in Mexico it is noticeable that there ig much doing in building and in beautifying the houses. Many private houses are being renovated and builit over. New buildings are going up— always of stone—on the site of suppressed convents, &c, The spacious grounds of the magnificent con- vent of San Agustin, where Mumboldt made his as- tronomica! observations, and where were so many noted paintings and works of art, are now being covered wit! splendid stores, fF 3 also to bea national public libvary, for whi ere is @ multi- tude of | ment from the conventh nimproyed since 1461, Wien the convent was 1 under the laws of rerorin.

An archbishop was walking in the outskirts of the city and wanted tire to light his cigar. He approached a door and knocked, but heard only the cries of a oung child. He opened the door and found an infant at tie breast of its moter, who was dead. The forlorn condition of the little one affected him strongly, and he determined to jound a refuge for such children, The costiy building before us was paid for with his wealth, “Afterwards a man named Zuiliga, who from @ humble station had become rich, spent $400,000 in carrying out the good archbishop’s plan. Ameng other fot he procured by his influence with the King of Spain and by force of dollars paid, that all these children should be noble—a ridiculous thing now perhaps, but then of eaeqnense, and an eifectual protection against their Ing discredited for their origin and family. Every boy and girl bore the name of the archbishop, and every one was a noble, and could stand covered in the presence of the King.

The alarm caused by the report that @ number of generals had pronounced for Ortega and others, including the once influential and brilliant Aureliano Rivera, has subsided. Several of these generals and officers have denied the right of the dissatisfied parties to put their names to the move- ment, dnd have declared that they have not signed the articles, and do not sympathize with this way of proceeding. Aureliano was obiiged to leave his old position in the mountains of Ajusco, where he ‘used to be sovereign; for his oid companions, who know that ground as weil as he, have been pursuing their now disloyal chief. He has been reported .as Geeing toward the North witha few men, but for g@ome days past nothing has been heard of him. And no tidings come of any notable movement against the government, It is said that Negrete has been in Setcha, whore he was well received. But these men only purpose to use their opportunity to rob, and do not aim at a change of government. It ts rumored that Quiroga, Carvajal, Canales and other traitors who have taken refuge in Texas are preparing for an invasion of New Leon and Tamauli- pas, and that already three or four hundred men have been well supplied with arms through accom- modating and neutral foreign houses in Matamoros; and it is said that this month will not pass without ‘an invasion, and even that Marquez, Bosques and otner imperialists in Havana who have gone to the United States will jon the expedition and pass the Rio Grande to renew the strife. The proclamation of Marquez has been published, in which he declares ‘that he is separated from political affairs, and only wishes to enjoy a quiet and private life. After his cruelties and extortion of over a million of doliars from this city, after he knew the cause he defended ‘was lost an‘ his emperor captured and shot, perhaps his fast resolution is the wisest one he could take.

Prudent megchants will not order more ‘and will wait the turn things may take. Still cannot be said that the distrust is caused by a fear of revolution and the chances of a change of govern- ‘ment, nor cven of any general uprising of the de- Teated parties and joue armed op; jon. ‘The larce quantities of arms introduced during the date atruggie by both parties to it — be said to ‘make insurrections easy.

It has many times been declared by foreigners of high eocia: and business standing, who proiess to understail Mexican affairs anu who have or have not interests in the projected lines of Mexican rail- roads, that “the Mexicans do not want railroads made;" tat they are afraid, for example, that the United Sta es would conquer them by means of the railroad iuiiuences, if they were allowed to extend them through Mexico to the States. The English + have ane red at the Mexicans for not conceding their request (o uild the Vera Cruz and Mexican line, and have saiu, or left it to be inferred, that the money ‘was to come from Engiand to benefit Mexico, From the beat information available it appears that the money ai dy spent by the English company on this Vera Critz i ad fexico line has come out of Mexic and (t is certain that the amount asked for and tntr duced ini (he estimated national expenses for the coming year to be applied to this construction is $ .

But hey simply disbelieve in the intention and ability of the petitioners to make the road, The know it would not pay the interest on its cost and its expenses fora long time to come, and have enough common sense to judge that Americans will not expend money for what will not pay them when they have so many enterprises that will. They say that the history of such privileges in Mexico kas been that the contrac- tors immediately take advantage of the favors ac- corded—such as the forced export of money, free introduction of materials, &c,—and that they do nothing more. The reason they oppose such requests is “that they do want railroads,” and not that they “do not want them,’ a3 has been alleged. But one line of railroad has been agreed to on terms which seem equitable to all concerned, It is to run from Vera Cruz to Puebla, through Jalapa and Perote, to be laid on the natural surface of the ground, to be worked by animal power or locomotives, a8 the grade permits, and is to receive @ wabaiay, from the nation as fast as constructed. The main features of this concession, as contained in the decree issued on the 26th of May last, are as follows:— Permission is granted to D¢ Ramon Zangroniz to make and work at his own cost and risk tor sixty ears, from the 1st of January, 1871, a raiiroad from yera Cruz to Puebla, passing by J: a and Perote. ‘The rails must weigh not less than kilogrammes per metre, The curves must have a radius of not less than 25 metres on the parts of the roads worked by animal power, and of 99 metres on the line on which locomotives run. ‘The road must be finished to Paso dle Ovejas, 28 Kilometres from Vera Cruz, by the goth of July of this year, It must reach Jalapa, 93 kiometres from Vera Craz, by the 30th of June, 1869; and it inust be completed ‘to Perote, 143 kilo- tres, by the sist December, 1869, and to Puebla, 263 Kilometres by the 3ist December, 1870, As fast aseach five stiometres are finished the Mexican treasury will pay $5,000 per kilometre—the distance to be taken according to the measures given above and already determined by government surveyors. ‘The whole subsidy, accordingly, when the road is completcd to Puedla, will be $1,315,000, This amount 3 ognized asa debt to the nation, is to pay in- terest at six per cent, and ten to fifteen per cent of the gross re¢ is are to be applied to its payment, ‘rhe rails may be laid on the present common road, and, provided ten metres are left free for wagons, de graded at pleasure; but if there be not so h Space, then the’ rails must be laid on the road le carriages may pass without disturbance. nds when required are given free, and private lands will be taken according io te laws, te Work being one of public utility. Lo- comotives are not to pass the present bridges with- ial permission. The rights conceded will be sited, first, by mortgage to any foreign govern- i, or to aay fudividual or corporation; second, by failure to keep the road in operation for two con- months; third, by failure to comply with the rations entered Into. ° The prices may be tixed by the company, provided they are aot higher han those allowed by law for the railroad from Vera Cruz to Alexico. ‘The rates for pas: 8 are to be:— Hurst Class, Second Class.

The successors of Zangroniz to con‘orin to the laws of Mexico, and not to claim any privileges as foreign subjects or citizens. Preference is to be given to Mexican labor, and half of those employed to be Mexicans. ‘These purticulars will show that the Mexican gov- ernment is not indisposed to allow the building of railroads and to assist them when proper guarantees are oifered. The railroad, although of irreguiar vade in some parts, will be for many consecutive eagues nearly ievel and uniform, and will possess an immense advantage over the very rough, dusty and sandy track of the dry seasons and the bottomless sloughs of the season of rains, Several new wagon roads are ordered to be con- structed. One is to be made from Ometusco, on the Apizaco Railroad, forty-two miles from Mexico, to prong by way of Zacuaitipan and Huoejutla. Another is to run from Querétaro to Tantajon, or some other point conventent for Le neg eg Tam- ico. ; Ep wg ees creed ey mn Luis ‘otosi to Tampico, by Rio Verde, taking advantage of the navigation of the river Panuco. A railroad from Tuspam, above Vera Cruz, to Mexico Is Beene by @ Portuguese named Cunha Reis, and is now under discussion. It is probably to be made under similar conditions as that from Vera Cruz by Mr. Zangroniz, already noticed. Another important enterprise is the tel ph from this city to the United States frontier at Matamoros, which will soon be compieted. General Escobedo and his soldiers are making this line, besides kee] ing order in his milit district. The posta are for the wires as as Monterey, and the line is proekeming towards Matamoros. In these arts of peace is the general occupied who was at one time so abused for insisting on the execution of Maxt- milian and for proclaiming—which he never did pro- claim—*‘death to foreigners.” Escobedo never such a desire, nor did he ever express the sentiments aitributed to him. His hatred to the French foreign- ers who burned alive the guerilla prisoners they had taken in the houses in which they were confined was clearly declared, and he ee this by shooting @ corresponding number of French soldiers by way of represalia and to Sarre @ repetition. The line of telegraphs in the United States is said to be near the Mexican frontier and is expected to join the Mexican line at Brownsville and the Rio Bravo. Then, with daily news from the United States and from Europe, ico will soon feel the stimulating influence of such union. The line of tel yh is al finished and working as far as Gi since the 9th inst. The wire is ordered and the line ‘will be rapi extended to Matamoros, ‘ The People to make neonrens 1m exterminat- ing the robbers.

Under these circumstances the supply of money in al! the large cities is likely to be fully equal to the demand, not only during the remainder of the year, but so long as contraction is suspended and the Treasury is not a borrower. The stock market was on the whole steady throughout the day but rather dull. The specuia- tive feeling of the street continues builish and the tendency of prices is upward. The settiement of the dimicuities formerly existing between the Erie di- rectors and the Vanderbilt party has not yet been responded to by tho stock, but there is probably no significance In this circumstance. The crop pros- pects continue unusuaily good in all sections of the country, and the current earnings of all the railways are so large that the bears are discouraged from sell- ing their stocks, while the bulls are emboldened to extend their operations.
