Fromthe N. o. Picaynne, juno 8.


In regard to the loan attempted to be
raised from the clergy of Mexico, VIC
have the official letter of the Treasury,
Senor Iturbe. dated the 18th, before the
news of the 9Th and 9th could have been
received. p s..


1t sets forth the grevious necessity o.
money Cor the war, and uSages the duty to
submit to the hardships forced upon all by
the national calamities.


He tells the archbishod that the Gov.
ernment has appropriated all revenues
which were mortgaged without exception
all payments to its creditors; that it vilh.
held fourth part ofthe salaries of al its
employers; that all classes were called
upon to mako sacrifices, and the clergy
must not be exempt.


He then calls for loan Of So, 400, 900
payable in twelve month instalments
commencing the 3oth ofJune. The Arch.
bishop is called udon to partition the loan
among the various bodies of the clergy.
On the 18th the Archbishop replied
that he had summoned an ccc!esiastica
convention to meet that morning, before
whom the matter would he laid; and thai
he would cooperate to the extent of hi:
powers''in a war where were at stake the
two precious objects of Mexicans, its in.
dependence and its religion"


The next we hear the loan is an an
nouncement in Et Republican,, of the
3lst. that the metropolitan churches could
not contribute 100000 month allotted
to them, as the total of their revenues viii
fall short of that sum.


The same paper states that the collec
ton of such sums arc assigned to the Other
churches is utterly impractible in the
present ruinous state of the tithes and the
general depreciation of ecclesiastical
property.
