Our correspondents stationed at Vera Cruz, City of Mexico, Mazatian, and at Brownsville on toe Rio Grande, the four important station places of Mexico, have veen most successiul im ovtaining the earhest news of all revolutionary movemeuts, Frequently Quring the past year we have heard of an atvempted creation of a No;tuwestern confede- racy—a govern nent which many promtuent Mexican leaiers and chieitains desire to carve out of the Nortuwestern territory of their country. Last week wuly a special despatea from San Francisco an- nouoced the cropping out of agolher attempt to create the NORTMWESTERN CONFEDERACY.

While the general government furnishes no Protection to the people of Chihuahua, Sonora, Sinaloa or Durango agamst the continual warfare waged by the Kickapoo, Opate, Apache, Yaqui and Mayo tribes of Indians, it insists upon the col- lection of an onerous tribute upon all thas is mined or on the product ofagriculture and manufacture, While the general government 1s collecung its op- pressive revenue in the Northwestern States tt gives them no mai facilites as well es no protection against the raids of bloodthirsty Indians. While these States abound im mineral and agricuitural resources, which are mvalled by no other region of country oa the face of une globe, Its flelds are not lied and its mountains are not nuburdened of the rich golden and silver ores, because there 18 no pro- tection from marauding, ruthless Indian tribes.

Hone Kone, June 19, 1869. The great topic of conversation among all classes in Hong Kong, and, in fact, all Uhina, the great sup- Ject tor editorials in all the newspapers, 1s the man- ner in which the home government of England has treated ite representatives out here, The general feeling of this community on the subject ts very Strong, and it 18 under contemplation to take steps to bring their views to the notiee of the home gov- ernment. They reason that if @ consular authority cannot, even im & case of great emergency, act with promptitude and decision, but must refer to England beiore he can do anything, there will be an end to all protection for foreigners in China, Besides, it is believed that the British Minister approved of the action of Mr. Gibson during the whole of the Yang Chow affair, And if such wrath has been visited upon the head of the subordi- nate, What should be done to the chief? The whole conduct of Great Britain in this matter seems to me very strange. Some subjects are molested 1n viola- tion of a clause in the treaty, a reward is offered for & man’s life, the Consul is insulted and his life plotied against; and when reparation 16 demanded and received by the Consul and Mimister, what does Great Britain go? Recall the Consul, apologizes to the Chiaese, and returns the money paid as in- demnity, What a contrast does her action towards China show with her treatinent of the United States with regard to the Alabama claims! All sugar on one side; all vinegar the pther. The Northern papers contain an explanation from the French Consul General at Shanghae as to the nature of the recent trouble betweea the French Charge d’Afiaires and some Chinese oificial at Pekin, It appears that the Freucbman was travelling with- out any of his iasignia of rank, .nd that one of his coolies accidentally jostling against the horse of Prince Kung, the latter struck the coolie, Aa apol- ogy was claimed. The Tungie-yamen rephed that had it been known whose coolle it was the biow woud not have been struck. The next day the papers contatned the following note from the French Consul General:— ‘The Consul General for France is authorized to declare thut there exists no matter between the Legation of the Em- peror and the Tungle-yamen of a nature to disturb thelr good Telations. All the rumors which have been current ai Saan- ana and which the papers have taken up, have no foun- ation. ven 4 this matter, the Press, of tnis settle- méit, contilns the following:— An explanation, though not a complete one, of the Pekin disturbance has been made. This canuot, however, be taken as indicative that the whole story’ concerning a fracas was without foundation, but must be sccept- ed only as denying tbat portion of the rumors which went to indicate that the affair was of serious nature, That ‘seems to be beyond a doubt. As the North China Daily Ne Of the Lith, one of the papers to which the letter was dressed, repeats its stavement of the previous day. that Prince Kung’s brother bud struck one of the French Char, Affaires coolles, and, as this statement is not contradict it may be taken to be substantially correct, though there sil! ‘appears to be @ mistake as to the person who gave the blow, it being stated that Prince Kung has not any brothers. How- ever this may be, this much seems certain, that a nigh oficial at Pekin struck due of the coolles accompanying the French Charge d’Aifaires. This is represented as a trivial mat- ter, and ted by the Northern papers, the give being apparently taken as in perfect good faitn. jowever, bY any Means certain ‘at the matter is of so slight « nature. The Chinese, who ‘are never under any circumstances at a lous for an excuse, would naturally hit upon the very simple one of the deciari: ‘that it was not known that the cooife, belonged to the Fren Charge d’Affaires; and, as it would ‘be impossible to prove ‘that such was not the case, the Foreign Ministers, may, what- ever thelr private opinions; bare been perfectly wing to ac- cept the mient, and ao prevent further dificuities. But, waren it is bornw m inind how weil everything connected with the Foreign Ministers In Pekin is known, and how closely they ure watched, it weeins scarcely likely that the official who struck the blow could bave been really in total ignorance of what he was doing. The Consu! General for France at Shanghaec has published the following regulation, addressed to nim by the Chargé d’Affaires at Pekin, modifying from the 1th inst. the mode of levying the duties at the Custom House on watches, &c.:— Every watch will pay a duty of five per cent ad valorem. Merchants wili be ealled upon to declare the value of the es or clocks consigned to them and to register at the Custom House the name of the mavutacturer and the num- bor of all watches or clocks linported, in order that in cave of Recesalipit may be pusabie to identl ‘Custor House will fn addition adix on each of them an official mark indicating that the dutles have been paid.

This sum ne aeposited with the United States Assistant Treasurer, and then burried back to the Arsenal for the purpose of obtaining the $45,000 which he had left in the sale previous to going to bank, His inten- tion was to deposit that amount inthe afternoon. On reaching the arsenal be lound he was too late to re- turn to tue Treasury oMce, and consulting Captain Gill, assistant quartermaster, in command of the ar senal, he was directed to keep tie inoney in the safe over night. Previous to leaving the office, Mr. Col- lings was particular to see chat everything was right, ‘The safe was locked as usual, and the gaara in- structed to keep a slarp watch. ‘The captain did not entertain the loast fear of a robbery, kaowing that a guard was on duty all around the buildings tarough- out the night, Mr. Collins, on visiting 113 ofice on Saturday morning, opened the sate tor tte pu of 1emovit tue money to the United states ‘Treasury, and Was surprised to see the eviden that some one had been there before him, Out oi the $45,000 only $20,000 was remaining. ‘This 1, eng inform Mayor Fox oi the robbery. re Min ‘actatied dezective Franklin and @ posse of men vo make an investigation, wuich, as previously stated, has not develo; anything.

On Tuesday we gave in orief the particulars of the robbery of the Merchants’ Express Company of $1v,000 at Pacific City, in Mills county, uhis state, by @n absconding agent, It appears iliat the agent ab- sconded with the package on Friday, the isth inst.
