the labor of this tirm wa3 done gratuitously. Pre
vious to starting the sule, Mr. Martin cxplaliiel the
terms. It was a sale of the choice pews, tor whtoh
none could bid other than a scrip-holder. Those
who am known by that title are the ones who sub
ixribed to the erection of the church. On subscrib
ing they received srlp representing In va'ue the
amounts Pet opposite their names. This scrip is ouly
redeemable in the purchase of pews. This will ex
plain why John B. McCreary, Ksq., appears sj pro
miuent In the above sale. He subscribed
mi 000 cash, and the only return finan
cially lie will receive for that amount la
in the purchase of sittings, so that the only money
actually received by the church on the occasion of
this salo was the premium ptld for the choice loca
tions the valuation having been previously settled
upon by a committee, wbiMe UHa wa? that the re
ceipts of the sale of the 06 on the tirst iloor should
eover the cost of the edifice. The bidding on the
premiums was decidedly active, and tne receios in
tome iastances were four and live hundred per cent,
atiove what hid been anticipated. The next sale
which will be open to all competitors, will come oir
on Thursday evening next at the same place.

Mexico. Nov. 11. On the Mh of this month the
t'oiiBreKS of .Mexico passed the law not only con
tinuing the "free zone" within the llniita it has al
ready occupied, hut extending it to Laiupaxos and
Cerraloo, two Interior towns la the State of Nuevo
Leon. The fifty-third article in the new Tariff bill
under discussion authorizes what is known as tho
free zone by the reading public, the text of which,
as it has just papscd the Congress of Mexico, by a
vote 01 eigniy-nve to ininy-Beven, in as iouows:
Article M. Foreign Rood, destined for consumption in
the following cilieB MutHinoros, Raymma, Cain&ruo. M,a
Guorrero, Monterey, Laredo, in i amaulipas. in the Ointriut
of ltio (iraodo, in Onaliuila, IjiiiipazeB. and Cerraluo, in
PiuevoLeon; l'renidio del Norte and Paso del Norte, in
Chihuahua shall be free from all dutiea except muni
cinul. The greater portion of three days was occupied
by Mr. Komero, Secretary of the Treasury, in com
bating tne bill and attempting to secure ltd abolish
ment, but In vain. The opposition to these deputies
was too strong, and a vote of eighty-five to thirty,
seven was rolled up without much apparent effort.
Secretary Komero, among other things, replied as
follows to Mr. (iuzmaii, who favored the continu
ance and extenston of the "free zone":
Anct.her mistake which the orator to whom 1 refer
incurred, Is the assertion that the Government of
the I'nited States solicited, by the urgency of tho
usurpers Miramon and Maximilian, the abolition of
the free zone. Continuing his design of making
Congress believe that the opinion of the Executive
opposed the free zone because of his condescension
to the Cabinet of Washington, he makes the con
duct of those pretended governments to appear as
If it were the conduct of the present ad
ministration. I doubt whether this Deputy
believes what be has told us, and If he should be
lieve It be thus manifests with how much readiness
he gives assent to the most unfounded and most
improbable rumors, and witn wnat frankness ne
pretends to make a communication of his mistakes
to tnis congress. 'J ne liuvtrnment 01 tne united
States could not solicit fsom Mlramou or Maxl-
milliun either the suppression of :he free zone
or anything else, for the simple reason that
it never had relations with them. It is true
that Mr. Forsyth, Minister of the United .States to
Mexico in is.'i7. recognized Felix .uiougo as t'rest
dent of the Mexican republic; but it Is also true
tnatne did so without instructions iroin ms umv
ernment, and that soon afterwards he had to sns
rend liis relations with said administration of Mr,
Felix Zuloaga before Miguel Miramon usurped the
power. After that the Government of the United
States recognized the constitutional l'resident
of Uie republic, theu established in Vera Cruz,
and maintained relations with it until the end of the
war of reform. All the world knows ana it is sur
prising to find that there may still be those who are
ignorant that the Oovrrniiientof tbe I'nited States
never recognized the intervention or the so called
empire, or had relations of any kind with eue or the
other. It Is not comprebendrd, then, how It may
have manllested Its wishes In respect to the free zone
to the reactionary party or to tne intervention.
Persons who may not be acquainted with the
rules which regulate the conduct of the Cabinet In
Washington can say that, In one or the other cso.
it manifested its wlshts by means of coutidential
agents, but by this they will only show their abso
lute lgLorance or tne usages established by the uoy.
ernment 01 the I'nited States. Moreover, even sup
posing that really tnere should have ben some
indication on the part of the Cabinet of Washington
to those usurpers, the existence of the Free Zone
mignt ne explained by the simple reason thatta
reaction did not come intopoBsession of the frontier.
and it would le bad to legislate for territory which
it never possessed: and. although the empire held
Matamoras and sometimes all the frontier, its oc
cupation 01 it was always precarious. Further
more, neither one nor the other order of things had
ever the necessary tranquillity to occupy ltsulf with
considering and accomplishing the changes and
reforms wiiicn tne public adiuiuistration reuuire
nor was It probable that they should Intend to
suppress the free zone, even should they not
think it convenient, knowing that with the suppres
sion of the free zone they might incur decided hos
tility from tne towns which enjoyed that privilege.
In circumstances under which they attempted to
cause the wish of the whole nation to submit.
Maximilian would probably have abolished the free
zone a dozen times to secure Interchange the recog
nition of the I'nited States, l'erjous whojmay have

Mr. Guzman, In favor of the extension of the
"zote," thought proper to make long speeches, from
which the following is an extract:

with the observation that the continuance of the
free rone In onr territory Is a grave damage to
iseir expectations 01 tne intiire, and savs more In
favor of what the committees advise in their project
than all that our weak voice could sustain. I will
mention, then, that when the Government did me

tancda, to form the project of tariff which, with lit-
ne enm ne. is now oeiug discussed, snirirest ons 011

wnn me greatest energy, it is strange to me siso,
n In tht I fall lYlu BltoiitlnM nf hA IibahiKIb
that from the Secretary of Hacienda there has no t
been a single word ol disapprobation for the con
tract of colonization of Lower Ca'lfornla, called
Lnse, in wnicn is asked, for the benefit of the com.
List, the Importation nud consumption of mer
cliandi.se free of all duty, in which there are con
ceded to the new immigrants benefits and rights
more nnerai man mose conceded to our brothers on
the northern frontier; and, notwithstanding his
j.oriisinp does not nnu otistacies lor concediug to
foreigners that which is denied to Mexicans. Is it
because the former speak English and the Utter the
poor spaiiisn intoinv 1 ao not Know, 1 cannot ex
plain, how to-day and among ns are defended the
interests or the 1 nited states in opposition to the
Interests of Mexico. It should not be understood by
this that I entertain III will towards that people
which was our friend In the hour of misfortune.
No, sir: I respect it, I admire It, and I wish it all
prosperity, but never when prejudicial to our na
tionality; I have not proposed anything aggressive,
lint, strong in our right, we must not accept the
friendly intervention after having driven out the
armed intervention. I wish reciprocity of interests
in onr relations, and especially on our
northern frontier; and as we suffered in
silence what for twelve years they sus
tained In front of the Mexican bonier tho
privileges of ports of deposit s they may to day
endure the continuance of the free zone; aud if tho
rivalry continues we also win tolerate in our turn
that the? msy establish free ports. The trim sove

forget our duties. The United SUtes are great aad
powerrui, but they aro also just, in this solemn
moment, when the fortune of onr brothers Is to
be dewled, once more I ask Congress to per
mit me to ppeak, ns it may be necessary to op
pose in the position In which I have placed
myself, and to reiterate that it m;iy not
listen to suggestions which are not founded
on reason. I have demonstrated before that
the Treasury Is not affected by leaving the Free Zone
on the frontier of Tamaullpas, and by extending itf
benefits to towns which are found tu an analogous
situation; the political considerations and those of
national interest cannot be disregarded, because
they are palpable; nd not only, If some time I shill
prove that the Treasury may lose $100,000, fsoo.oot)
or $300,000, 1 should say that the honor of Mexico Is
worth more than that money, and that Its represen
tatives will know how to defend it, by sustaining
that which the committee now presents, by which It
may favor It with its vote. Tims I ask aud thus I

THE NLW KING OF SrAlN.
-nernl Prim's Account of the Negotiations.
General Frim spoke as follows on the 2d Inst.,
in tbe Spanish Cortes, when formally present
inn; the Duke of Aosta as a candidate for the
throne. Having referred to the negotiations
with Prince Leopold, he euld:
"We found ourselves once again without a candi
date. In the early period of this sanguinary war,
which even yet unfortunately continues, the Gov
ernment could not and ought not to have renewed
efforts with any of the Princes of Europe, for all the
European nations were full of anxiety aud of natu
ral preoccupation as to what might happen to each
of them. Hut when this early period had passed,
and we saw the struggle or arms localized, the
Government, desirous, with all the Monarchi
cal Deputies, to be able to present to the
Cortes the day they recommenced their labors
a candidate for the throne of Spatn, conse
crated their energies to seek one. Days, weeks, and
months passed with astonishing rapidity. The
first time the Government directed themselves to
tliu House of Havoy, as inn Deputies already know,
they did not meet with the result to which they
aspired, for the Duke of Aosta did not think it proper
to accept the offer tney theu made, an offer always
conditional, us the Deputies mav suppose, for tho
Government had no absolute authoiity to offer the
Crown, and therefore their effort have always had
for base and principle the supposition that tho Con
stituent Cortes would consent to nominate him.
liut though the npble Duke of Aosta did not think
It proper to accept the oiler made to
him, bis negative was so friendly, so deli
cate, and made in terms bo worthy
and so honorable for Spain, and the motives ou
which he founded It were of such a nature that I iiu
lleved the door, on beii'g closed, admitted of our
being able to return to knock at the proper season
at it again. The Council of Ministers debated
whether It was proper or not to direct themselves
once more to the House of Sovoy, aud, after mature
reflection, they believed they ought to try and open
a fresh negotiation.
"ly the accord or my companions I had tho honor
to present this thought to the consideration of his
HlghnesB the Regent. His Highness approved It,
and gave me his orders. In consequence, iroin that
moment, and, as I said, authorized by his Highness
and the Government, 1 gave the opportune Instruc
tions to the Minister of Spain in Florence. It was
necessary fo the negotiations to be carried on ra
pidly, for, as I have before said, the days, weeks,
and months passed quickly, and the 81st of October
was approaching. '1 lie negotiation was conducted,
gentlemen, almost all by telegraph. From the first
day aud first moment I met great benevolence In tho
noble : King of Italy, Victor Emanuel, who from
tbe very beginning always demonstrated him
self favorable and disposed to do all that in hltn Uy
for the definitive constitution of our country. Not
less benevolent was our reception from the noble
Duke of Aosta. liut I need not trouble you by re
lating minutely, and step by step, the negotiations,
for they will be found iu tho documents which to
morrow 1 shall bave the honor to lay on the table.
It falls to me now to manifest the satisfaction of the
Government and the Hegent, who all equally desire
to terminate the interreguum, which so pitifully
wounds the general interests of our country, which
kevps in suspense all progress, and which prevents
tbe development of Industry and the transaction of
business, through the anxiety and uncertainty In
which everybody Uvea without knowing wnat may
be the fate of to-morrow.
"There bas, at last, arrived the moment of ending
this Interregnum and ceasiug the clamor we have
heard so loiig. 1 am the more rejoiced at this be
cause It has bo often been said, perhaps without In
tention, that I have been the chief obstacle to the
tetmlnatiou of the interregnum. The reality has
been the exact contrary. Tbe sorrows 1 have
passed through I shall not enlarge upon now, nor
the efforts I have made to nil the throno. When all
the negotiations I have pursued are published, aud
when the full details are known, I have the convic
tion the Cortes and the country will do me foil
justice. 1 conclude, gentlemen, for I have no
necessity to add more, by making a call
on the patriotism (the Hepublicau gen
tlemen must not be alarmed If I only call on the
patriotism of the Monarchical Deputies, for it would
be useless to call on theirs) of the Monarchical ptrt
of the Chamber, ttiat they may be pleased to accept,
not the candidate of the Government, for the
Government ought not to have any caudld.ite for
the throne of Spain, but the candidate who merits
the svmpatMea of the majority, a the Chamber
alone tho Sovereign Anseiiibly Is that which has
toeiect the Kmg. The Deputies know witn whom
the Government has carried ou the negotiations.
Last night, in another plae, I named him. I be
lieve I have also named him just now, but I desire,
and so do all my companions, to have it well under
stood this Is a question purely constituent, and
therefore to the Government, always re
spectful to the sovereignty of the Cortes, it is
not permitted to say, 'This is our candidate.' But I
ask. and here again I call on the patriotism of the
Monarchical Deputies, that they will keep In view
that if thev divide their tuffrages it will be a bid bu
glntlng for the creation of a new dyuasty. All of
you kuow which is the candidate who ougut to
count on the sympathies of the greatest number of
the Deputies. Let us, therefore, all place ourselves
by the side of this candidate, name him king, and
end the Interregnum. Then we shall be able to say,
We have a King gojd for the country, and good for
liberty.' "
This speech was followed by a brilliant one
from Caatelar, who moved a vote of censure on
the Government for tbe.lr external and internal
policv. He chiefly attacked General Frim and
the I louse of Savoy. After replies from Frim
and Moret, to the latter of whom, as beinj; the
most eloquent of the Cabinet, Prim bad dele
gated the ta K,of answering tbe great Republi
can orator, tbe President fixed the 10th inst. for
tbe voting. Clamor arose against this from the
Unionists. Carliets, and liepublicans, who pro
tested against this closing of the debate, and
the President had to put It to the Chamber,
which decided in tUe way the President wished
by m to 65.
