The Tehuantepec treaty with the United States has been rejected
by the Mexican Congress. The details of this action, which can not
fail to be considered as highly important to this country, have not
reached us. ---- From the city of Mexico we have dates directly only
to the 5th of March. The embassadors of Great Britain, France, Spain,
and the United States have addressed a remonstrance to the Mexican
government against the unfairness of the custom-house regulations
in Mexico. The Mexican Secretary has replied, that the matter is
before Congress, and that it does not call for any interference on
the part of foreign ministers. Tuspan has been made a port of entry.
---- A contract has been entered into by the King of Belgium and the
Mexican Government, for transporting 50,000 Belgians to the interior
of Mexico, where they are to receive lands to settle on, or work for
Mexican landholders, on certain stipulated conditions. ---- A bill has
been introduced into Congress repealing the stringent laws concerning
foreigners, and imposing the penalty of banishment on any foreigner
who may be judicially convicted of taking part in any revolutionary
government, of having abused the liberty of the press, or of smuggling.
At present foreigners may be expelled simply on suspicion, and without
any judicial inquiry whatever. ---- A letter from Louis Napoleon,
announcing the change in the government of France, to his "great and
good friend," the President of the Mexican Republic, is published in
the Mexican papers. ---- Complaints are constantly made against the
Mexican authorities at Acapulco, of maltreatment of Americans, and
insults to the American flag. Great numbers of emigrants to California
have been driven into Acapulco by wreck and other causes, and they very
frequently come into conflict with the local officers. Two or three
instances are mentioned in which Americans have been imprisoned on the
most frivolous pretexts, and the remonstrances of the U. S. consul
treated with contempt.
