Mexico.

(Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.) I _ Muieo, Saturday 10, 1856.

dmlipu will have heard mostlikely of is serious

_ ulty—I was on the point 0 saying, con- ﬂiet-—between this countr and Spain. am fortunate enough _to be a le to give you some authentic information in regard to it, which is not generall known.

rlt is we] _lrnown to you that at the time of the recognition of Mexico as an independent R0l>_“bll0. by the mother country, S ain, made various claims for losses suataine by level subyects of the Spanish Crown during the struggle which were admitted by the Mexican Republic, together with other claims by subjects cfsther nations; and that those claims were ﬁxed at their dill'erent_ amounts by a formal Conven- tion on the subyeot. ‘The settlement of those claims has gone on with delicacy, us all things do on Spanish ground, (for in this respect Mexicans do not disavow the characteristics of old Spain), and proceedin slowly but not surely, various revisions oft e said Convention have taken place at aiﬂerent periods, in eao case, that the remainder owing on the ori inal amount set forth in the Convention mig t be |‘°d||¢?d : but, by some unaccountable process, _f0l|IltH_Ig In an opposite elfect, viz.: that of increasin it. as has the original amount been don led, and the remainder now claims by Spain is about six millions of dollars.

_It appears that the Government, some time since, called for another reiision of these claims, on_ the ground that fraudulent claims had been introduced at the last revision, an demanding that this revision should take place at_Madrid. the Spanish Minister residing here being strongly suspected of eonnivauce in the last revision. This would appear it very reu- scnable demand, ucvertlielcse the Spanish Go- vernment have refused to accede to ti. new revisal on the presumption that it is not neces-

sai(-y. n the refusal of the Spanish Government, the Mexican Government took new measures to test the validity of the claims which they had already admitted, and compelled the claimants to deposit their titles with available security for the amounts already paid thereon, threatening to conﬁscate the property of the Spanish holders should they refuse to do so, and actually carrying out the threat in several ci_i.ses._ This liigi-handed measure, in direct violation of the Convention, coup with other causes of coinplaintof uminor impor- tance, h:u-c iruliici-«l the Spanish Government to recall their Minister, and l have the infor- mation from an authentic source, that a squad- ron is preparing in Spain which is to he joined by several of the ships belonging to the ﬂeet at larana, to back the demand for immediate restoration of the property conﬁscated, and full payment of the outstanding claims, which the new Minister appointed to Mexico is to

resent. Ere long you may hear of it second

mittant fever and agile also prevailed among the inhabitaiits. it was generally apprehended that the coming summer would be very a unhealthy one through- out the West India Islands. It was report- ed at St. Thomas that the British war steamer Malacca had lost some eight or ten of her crew by yellow fever.

Tm: LATE Barrtsii Airessssnort.—

Mr. Crampton left our shores yesterday in the Canada for England. We under- stand that he has a complaint that the letter of Mr. Marcy announcing to him his dismissal, and delivering to him his passports, was not presented to him until four hours after the selling of the Asia from New York last week, so that he had no opportunity to telegraph to the com- mander of that steamer, and to detain her until he could take his passage on board of her. Mr. Marcey’s despatch went out by the Asia, a week in advance

FROM KANZAS. Sr. Louis, June 2, I856.

We have the following from Leaven- worth under date of May 23th:—An ex- citing extra of the Westport News’ head- ed War! War! ! reached this city this morning, and threw the slavery men into great excitement. They held private meet- ings, and appointed a committee of Vigil- ance to attack Leavenworth and let no Free State man pass ; and determined to make lawless arrests of obnoxious parties. A company of men nrmcd.with muskets and bnyoncts (United States arms) have have been parading all the afternoon, making arrests; they took prisoners a clerk of Commission of Congress, named Conway, and two witnesses that had been stibptxaned, Messrs. Parrot and Miles. Moore, Warren and Wilkes, of South Carolina, headed the party. A Moore, one ofthe murderers of Brown, helped to make the arrests. Messrs Miles and Parrot were arrested while conversing with Mr. Sherman. Mr. S. asked if it was by legal process they had taken one of the clerks of the Commis- sion. Mr. Wilkes said it was not; that he had no legal authority, but that he would arrest the men down on his list. Many others have been taken. The town is excited, and the Commission fear that they must leave. Alarming extras are sent from Wcstport to the her- der towns. A fight is expected towards Passowato Creek. Some pro-slavery men from his claim, but he refusing to go, they took him and were about to hang him, when his neighbors came to the rescue and shot same of the pro-slav ry party. A civil war is inevitable.

It is estimated that the loss sustained by the citinens of Lawrence by the recent attack will amount to $ 100,000.
