NEW ORLEANS:
TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER II.

From THE BRAzos. By the arrival of the
steamship Portland, Capt Bogart, we have received
Brownsville Flag of the LIST inst. From it we
extract the following in regard to the interior trade
Of Mexico:
The last advices represent the advance in prices
generally sustained throughout the different mar
kets Of the country and stocks by no means large,
especially in first hands all of which augurs well
for the forthcoming Fair and business season, as
regards goods bringing their proper value and a
demand continuing. The usual suspension Of ac-
hvity in business always preceding by about a
month the Fair OF San Juan, to commence on the
LIST proXlmo-whch is caused by the making Of
necessary preparations and forwarding of the goods
intended for the Far-was being experienced.
Last accounts from San Juan represent large .arri-
walls OF goods from all quarters daily increasing
and the supposlton, we believe, is that the Fair
will prove to be good one. The amount of goods
changing hands may perhaps not be as great as in
some other years, many large invoices, origi-
nlly intended for that market, will not reach in
time, for various causes and besides, the amount
OF goods in the country is not so large last year
but this will only tend to give greater irmness to
sellers, and make purchasers mole liberal in their
offers Tor goods"
Reports Of a change in the Mexican tariff are
mentioned, and the Flag remarks Should either
this, what appears to us still more incredible the
removal Of the CUSTOM house to the Sierra Madre
(Which is also reported be in contemplation for i'm
mediate action the result would Of course be COM

articles against the Governor of Tamaulipas, Gen
Avalos. The General has been making war On

which the American carpe, manufacturer Is protected

United States navy, az all the carpets used in the
White House are bought in England. To preach on'
