LATEST FROM THE ARMY OF oCcupATroN

LATEST FROM THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION
We understand, that adyices have been received
from General Taylor, late as the 18th Of March,
at which date he was at Fl sance, ll9 miles from
Corpus Christi. The general had advanced to that
point with the cavalry and tho LIST brigade of infan
try the ID brigade being about miles, and the ID bri-
gade, 10 miles in his rear He will concentrate all
his forces reaching the little Colorado Is miles in
his front, so as to be prepared for any contingency
The advance had met within a few days, with small
armed parties Of Mexicans, who seemed disposed to
avoid our troops, and were doubtless thrown out to
get information Of their movements. All the corps
OF the army are in fine condition and spirits, and
equal TO any service that may be before them.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

We have already given the accounts which have
been received Of the struggle now going on between
the monarchical and the republican parties in Mex
leo. A strong proof of the predominance of repub-
lican opinions in that nation, even in the midst of
the fluctuations Of the Mexican government, may be
seen the fact that Gen. Paroles, evidently leaning
10 the monarehical side, has seen fit to issue decree
prohibiting the discussion of the question by the
public journals The effect Of such discussion was
evidently dreaded by the monarchiss.
The Courier des Etais Uns, usually very well in
formed about Mexican affairs, and protesting to
speak in this instance upon the most reliable author
ity states another fact upon the subject still
significant According to that journal, the different
sections of the republican party in Mexico had, at
the latest dates, resolved TO unite against the COM
danger, and had taken measures to invite Santa
Ana to return to Mexico, and assume the post ion
Of chief Of the republican party. Their overture had
been favorably received by the exiled President
He had stipulated that, in case Of his return, he
would submit to the people the election Of a new
president Of the republic and retir. himself to phi
vate life The Courier processes to have seen q
confidential letter Of Santa Ana's companion in ex-
lie, Signor Rejon in which the grounds Of the ex-
dicntors conversion to rspublicanism are set FORTH
and its sincerity warmly asserted. Reion has also
published pamphlet explaining the reasons which
led Santa Ana, and himself as minister, to approve
the DEGREES Of the 2sth Of November and the 81 Of
December, 1874, to dissolve the Congress, restrain
the liberty of the press, and to assume dctstorisl
power. The purpose of these strong measures Re
ion alleges ID be the concentration Of the Mexican
force against Texas, The Mexican Congress gave

The National Intelligence GER publishes paragraph
this morning, stating that the editors of the Union
have been sued by g. Tochman, Of Poland, for pub
fishing libel (viz in the shape Of advertisement
from other Poles in New York; respecting the said
Toehman. The Major had called our attention to
the advertisement, and requested us to publish a
card from himself in reply, along with another arti.
Gle from himself on the subject which had ap-
peared in the New York Courier, &c. We prom
ised to insert his communication, with the exception
of long act Of incorporation from the legislature of
New York, but requested him to be patient, as il
might be crowded out for few days by the proceed
ings of Congress, &c. Mr.. T., however, falsely
complains that he has not been cable to obtain an
insertion in the Union of the refutation, and there
upon brings his suit against for libel; whereas
it might with more propriety have lain against the
Poles of New York. We were in the act of put
ting in his article Saturday when his process was
served. We had declined inserting second pubca-
ton against him from the quarter, which strong
y protested against his conduct in obtaining an incor-
poration for the "Posh Slovenian Association" His
writ did not change our purpose, because we had
made him the promise. 1t was in type on Saturday
night, and again crowded out and neither his pro-
cess his paragraph shall prevent us from keep
ing our word in publishing the following communi
cation frem his pen. IN. B. We have not been
