BY the barqne TheaIus, Capt, Murrcll, from
! Vera Cruz, arrived here last evening, we recei.
we'd papers by her from the city Of Mexico, to
the 18TH and from Vera Csuz to the time Of her
departure. She sailed on the goth inst We
! learn verbally from Capt. M. that the U. s.
steam frigate Mississippi arrived at Vera Cruz
on the 18th, with the news Of the battles Of the
sth and 9th inst. Care was taken TO keep it
from the Mexicans. though it is thought the fact
Of their defeat might have leaked out and did
leak ont. The Mississippi and Falmouth had
! blockadcd the port of Vera Cruz. Orders had
been received from :he city Of Mexico, direct
oath inst. -
Mr Diamond, the Cousul, was preparing TO
go on board of one of.he u $. vessels of War.
1t was generally thought that the American YES.
sells left in port, the barque Louisiana and the
brig Helen Mcleod, would be seized by the
Mexicans. The contractor Of supplies for the
American squadron had been forbidden by the
Vera Cruz authorities to furnish them with
more.
The barque Tbealus was boarded of the harbor
of Vera Cruz by the U. s sloop Falmouth and
| took letter bag from her. The big st. Pc.
! tersburg sailed the 10Th for New York
We have been permitted to make the follow.
ing extracts from letter received by highly
respectable Mexican house in this city:
VERA Csrz, May 10. 1916.
A circular has been issued by the Government,
stating that all the American Consul, cease i'm.
mediately from being recognized and ordering
all American citizens to embark; or retire into
the interior within eight days. The United
States steamship Mississippi yesterday ordered
of vessel from the port, but she came in during
the night, thus proving the port to be blockaded,
at least to National vessels, step which has
materially compromised the American vessels
in the harbor, and we are very much afraid that
we shall not be allowed TO despatch the Thea
lus.
The government is making every effort to car
ry out the war with success, and has replenish.
ed tine treasury by carrying through some very
! strong measures.
The Castle of San Juan de Ulloa and tho city
are in brilliant state Of defence, and would re.
! qnire very strong force to be sen, if an attack
were mcditatcd.
The RrpnbkcanO, of the city of Mexico, con.
tains an article against the Government, in which
it anmacverts upon the actual state OF the coun.
try, attacked as it is by strong enemy, and with
q prospect Of local revolution. That paper q.
vers that, in case Of any revolution, the troops
now engaged in repelling the enemy would be
ordered TO act in support Of either one party or
the other claiming a local supremacy. ASS
proof Of the discipline and manner in which the
Mexican troops are treated by their officers, we
will mention the case Of soldier named vablo
Garcia, who, for some derelicton Of duty, was
most cruelty whipped and then sent to dungeon
under ground. where. from the nature Of his
wounds, gangrene ensued in the absence Of med
ical care, and he died in six days afterwards
His body was in such mahgea state that he d.
ed on his knees, not being able TO lie down.
Don Jose Marie Goyen has been named Gov
srnor OF Chihuahua, in the department of Sono.

The Apacha Indians have attacked the town
Of Opnto, where they killed 80 Mexcan,, the
Indians stealing every thing they could lay their
hands upon. These Apschas are un formed in
blue cloth frotk coat, with red facings. and
pantaloons Of the same stuff, with caps, and they
are armed with rifles The whole department
wa, in dreadful state. Of misery aud consterna.
tion. Several robberies, on a large scale, have
lately been committed in the City of Mexico and
its rneishborhood. tr
In speaking Of the American army, a despatch
fron the Mexican commandsnt Of the engineers
l,at Matsmoras says that the American army is
not more than four thousand strong, aud is in a
state Of decentralization; there is no union a.
mons them. Without any desire for glory, its
officers are good, but then there are many of
them who have come to fight against their will
five have no local revolution, this American
army will either caritulate or be entirely defea-
ted in twenty days.
The exports from Vera Cruz in the month of
April amounted TO s2il 1856, OF which sIo3, 1877
was in specie.
! The Republicano Of the 18th says that the in.
tention Of the government was TO send their war
steamships, the Guadaloupe and Montezuma, to
the Havana, to be sold at auction on arriving at
the latter port. The steamers were to leave,
hoist the Mexican Aag, and fire salute. The
Mexican sailors refused TO sail in them under
these conditions, and the steamers were to leave
the river Alvarado, where they had been laid up
ia ordinary under the British flag commanded by
