glish newspapers. His having entered into
the Spanish army does not alter the case at all,
as he is still in the British service, though at
present unemployed. 1tis to be remembered
that Great Britain is not atwar with Don Car
los; and General Evans's troops are only levied
as a private speculation-perm by the Go
vernment, as a specimen Of British non,r.ter-
ference. Have not Englishmen an equal night
to serve Don Carlos if they choose!

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
Bv an arrival from Vera Cruz on Saturday
evening last we have been furnished with our
files of the "Diario, del Goberno," ofMexico,
to the Both July, inclusive.
As we predicted domestic commotions have
begun and are now agitating that Republic.
The liberal party or federalists (i.e. those op-
posed to centrolism) are making rapid advan-
ces; they have made bold attempt to abolish
the present order of things and restore the
government TO its former features, but wheth-
er their force was insufficient to obtain the
success they calculated upon, or whether the
government anticipated their designs and frls-
trated them by timely organization We cannot
tell however, they were completely routed
at Ella in the engagement which took place
between 900 government troops under the
command of Gen. Canalazo, and 600, federal
lists commanded by Col. Miguel Acevedo.
From Canalizo an official despatch or bulle-
tin appears in the Diaro of the Ath, which
states, the federal party had lOO men killed,
2:2S taken prisoners; among the latter IS Ace
yedo chief Of the revolutionists.
The loss on the part Of the government were
3 killed and 6 wounded.
The day succeeding this engagement, Ace

shot; a council of war had been held upon the
other officers but the result has not transpired:
A considerable number of criminals had
been condemned and executed in Mexico, du-
ring the month of July last.
Bya decree of the general government pub
lished in the official paper of 18th July, an an
nual distribution of three dollars upon every
thousand dollars worth Of property, has been
declared upon all rural estates.
Voluntary donations continue to be made
throughout all the states of Mexico, to assist
the government to meet the exigencies grow
ing out of the war in Texas. We have made
a calculation approximating to the actual &C.
count of subscribers, and find ten thousand
signatures, but the total sum subscribed is not
more than from five to six hundred dollars.
We feel not the slightest astonishment that no
more has been raised, as the highest donations
are not above one dollar, and the greatest num-
Der average less than one bit, II l-2 cents.
When we consider what little patriotism is ex-
hibited here by the Mexicans, IN cause which
they denominate national one, we are amazed
that they should still cherish the hope OF sub
