Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 2d ult. Gen. Parrodi,
after his defeat at Salamanca, bad capitulated at Guada-
lajara on the 233 of March, which would probably lead
to the pacification of the interior and the adhesion of the
army to the present Administration. Although this
seems to put an end to the government of Senor Juarez,
Vera Cruz still bell out, and Tampico was besieged
'when the packet left. No Minister of Finance bad as
yet been appointed. The agents in Mazatlan had shipped
2,245 dole. by H.M.'s s'aip Magicienne, which reduced
the balance remaining in Mexico to about 3,460 dole.

law of exercise, is—we will use plain words—is guilty of
cutting short their lives ; ay, guilty in the eyes of Heaven
of deliberate Murder. Let him not excuse himself I))
Sttying "I pay them for their sacrifice ; they consent to
