Our files of papers from the city of Mexico,
by the way of Vera Cruz, come down to the
29th of June. By the way of Tampico, too,
we have files from the capital, but not later
than the 10th.
Our attention was first given to discover
something about the American prisoners in
Mexico. The following paragraph is the only

whom the Government sent by this route have
been detained at the above named town, and

members present and absent. They have seve-
raj times CONF very near a quorum, and there
is doubtless a sufficient number of members in
the city to form one. ~Seventy-one are requir-
ed; s~ixty-six were present on the 25th.

that the American army would move from
Puebla by the end of June. They say not a
word in their latter Numbers OF their own means
of defence, or indeed of their own army.
The prosecutions against the press are con-
tinued. D.. Francisco Lazo Estrada, editor OF
the Boletin de la Den1ocracia, having secreted
himself to escape a prosecution, has been
found and arrested. This is the second indi-
vidual connected with this paper proceeded
against.
