duet has confirmed this view. When the armisiics
between Mexico and Texas was agreed to in ls43,

General Wol on the 2Oth OF June, 1874, ordered the

INTERESTING AND LATE EXTRACTS
FROM MEXICO.

We are indebted to our friends in this city for
various interesting extracts from their correspond
ence. Among these are the following letters Just
received from Mexico They arc entitled to atten-
ton from.their authenticity as well as importance.
Mexico is determined to wage the war against us
with all her vigor. And for this purpose, she has
laid her hands upon the duties arising from imported
goods; and this con6scaton must be highly dspleas-
ing to the British capitalists, to whom the amount
had been made over for the purpose of discharging
what was due to them by the government. This
source Of revenue must, however, be considerably
abridged, if not entirely arrested, in short time,
by our own squadron blockading her ports.
Extract Of letter from Vera Cruz, May 2, 1886.
