struction of which he is getting estimates, 400
feet long and 60 feet beam, with luxurious ac-
commodations for 1000 spectators The inte-
rior is to be an amphitheatre, much more capa-

the abolition Of the internal custom -house-those
I.z.r houses which IKE lsprsus spots, dehie th's

ding the battalion Of Guerrero, in Tehuantepec,
was ordered to proceed thither and assist the

The Judge ofthe Supreme Court OF Tehuantepec
has been exed TO Pe,asss, for alleged malfeasanee
in Office.
July l0.--Sinee writing the above, the courier
has arrived from Chispss. The town, Of CONTAIN
and Cludad Real, in that State, are in open revolt
and seven hundred men under Maldono, one Of
the vealthiest and most influential men in tn,

pr.sent appearances the revolutonists viii succeed
ss the small force which the government had or
dered from this place, to assist the governor o
Chispss, has been 30 much weakened by deser
ton that they have been compelled to 60 into
