The latest advices from Mexico state that Mira-

Juarez at Vera Cruz. Three skirmishes had taken
place—the first at Tchnachan, the second at
Juancha, and the third at Apasco; in all of which
Miramou's party proved successful.
CARTIIAGENA, Dec. 11.—An express arrived
with news of the taking of the town of Baran-
quilla, on the 9th inst., by the Liberal forces, after
three hours' conflict ; General Posada dangerously
N't ounded. The ports of Carthagena and Savanilla
still remain closed.
The news from Jamaica is confined to the busi-
ness of the Legislature, and even that is of slight
importance, being limited to the question of postal
government, and to the discussion of bills for the
encouragement of Chinese immigration.
The return of exports for the year ending 30th
of Sqtember, 1859, shows that with the single
exception of the article of coffee, the exports of the
island for the present year had been materially
under those of 1858, and with the exception of
ginger, also largely under those of 1857.
