" before II appears that good number of milf
tary ofacers and public officials could not be Sc
duced into the scheme, and some of the former
made their escape from Tabasco by sea, carving
with them a considerable part of the armament Of
the garrison. IL is too soon 10 know what meas

There Is a most volumnous correspondence in
the Sisio between the French and English command
ers on the Mazatlan station, the respective consuls
of the two nations, and the authorities of Mazatlan
| in relation TO certain claims of indemnity made by
French citizens upon the city. The French do not
appear to have'tak much by their motion. We
have no room for the correspondence.
! Gen. Rangel has been sentenced by courtmar-
tial-for his late revolutionary attempt in the city of
Mexico, IN which he treated the President and his
| cabinet with such indignty--to ten years impris-
onment, iothom The loss Of his rank-a truly Mexican
punishment for treason. Another authority, but
usually not well informed says he is stripped of
rank and all employment. and banished for ten
| years. The ire of the Mexcans was good deal
aroused, apparently, at seeing him get off easily.
| We have before announced that Sefor Gomez
Faras had been elected to the Senate of Mexico.
| According to the Sgio, Sehor Farias was in some
way implicated in the attempt made by Rangel on
| the 9Th of June and had secreted himself. From
his concealment he addressed communication to
the executive, stating his readiness to upon his
duties as senator, and desiring that day might be
appointed for him to take the necessary oaths. The
appropriate minister transmitted this 10 the Senate
| informing them that the executive government had
issued orders for the arrest of Seor Farias, having
reason TO believe him compromised in the attempt of
the It'll; and that it should succeed in
curing him, he would be placed at the disposition Of
the grand jury, taking that he should be guard
, ed with all due consideration.
All the papers were sent to the grand jury and f.
nally the Senate proceeded to supply the place of
Seor Farias and the election made by lot resulted
in favor Of Sehor Quintana Roo The Sigto of the
9th says that Sefor Farias still remained in his
| concealment
| On the 26th the Senate proceeded to count the
vo,es of the departmental assemblies to fill the va
cancy in their body occasioned by the decease of
Seior Chico Sein. Sefor Farias had the highest
number of votes, but was declared ineligible, as he
had already been elected and declared senator in
place of Sehor Camacho. The two next highest
| candidates, having received two votes each, were
pronounced destitute of the constitutional requisites
and then the Senate proceeded to draw from the
didates having received but one vote each. The lot
fell upon Seiior d. Pedro Tames, a former governor
of Jalisco, represented of great ability and
distinguished learning, and friend of the present
| government
Thus has Sehor Farias lost a seat in the Senate
| by the very dexterous management of his enemies
The reader will bear in mind that the Sigio is vo-
leny opposed to Sefor Farias in politics, and its
representations should therefore be taken with some
| grains of allowance.
| The Obserpador Zacaiano of the 10Th June an
nounces that Gen. Paroles, commanding the third
division of the army, would transfer his head-quar
tiers from Lagos to the capital of the department of

| Both houses of Congress have been engaged in
the consideration of reform of the existing tariff,
| as suggested by the executive. They have not yet
been able to act barmonousy in the matter. The
Senate was occupied with this subject exclusively
on the 18th and 10th ult.
The presidential canvass continues to occupy
most of the attention of the different journals but
1t is carried on with much moderation on paper. The
reform Of the organic bases also calls out great
deal of psblic discussion. The Sgio, which is
strongly in favor Of reform, devotes long leader
powerfully written, almost daily to the subject.

The Siglo congratulates the citizens of New Leon
upon the prompuude with which justice is eXecu-
ted in that province. A wretch named Castafleda
made dishonorable proposals to the wife of his
friend, Seiior Vargas. She resisted them; where
upon the brute took her life, and that of and
brother of his friend. He then stole horse and
some other effects, and fled. This happened on the
9th of April last. He was pursued, taken, tried and
found guilty; and on the 2lst of the same month
was sentenced to death. He had two subsequent
hearings before the court, but the judges decided
that there was no good cause for delay; and he was
executed on the I2h of May-.justihirty three days
after the preparation of his atrocities. Pretty well,
this, for Mexican court
