LATER FROM MEXICO,

The most important intelligence contained in
these papers relates to the singular ANOMALY n
the two tariffs existing at the same time in differ
ent ports OF MexicO-the regular, recoqnized
tarlI OF the supreme Government, and tina,
eseaonsneG by one OF Its military officers on the
Northern frontier We have already mentioned
that In Vera Cruz and Tampico, points particu-
larry affected by this unequal tariff, the excite.
ment Is intense, and that an indignation n,aetino
had been held in Tampico. Petitions ard re-.
monstrances without number have been sent
from ooth places to the General Governr,e IT
anu IN vera Cruz the merchants have held a

Poseo Dy the existing regular tariff They also an
pointed committee of their members to wait
upon the collector OF that port and request him
TO deliver the goods recently imported into their
hands, and to suspend the collection of duties
upon them until the result of their energetic re-
monstrance to the Supreme Government could

the goods may sustain by being stored in damp
and badly ventilated warehouses, as we'll MS ex-
posed to the chances of fire. Many of them have
also resolved to close their houses the moment
any attempt is made to compel them to paw the
prescribed duties.
Don Luis Guevara has presented memorial to
Congress, already alluded to by us, showing the
/
th' commerce of Tampico, and contrasting it with
the reduced tariff in force at Matamoras The
! quantity OF goods and merchandise introduced
through this channel has seriously affected the
commerce OF other ports of the Republic. The
foreign ministers have protested against the evils
caused by the Avalos tariff, and their communica-
ton caused considerable debate ia the Chanober
of Deputies.
The papers of the capital say that it is certain
that Gen. Candles has declared Camargo to be a.
tree port and the Porrenir, of Vera Cruz makes
| this the subject OF a long article. Our last ac-
counts from the Rio Gr1nde make no mention of
this, and we do not believe it to be true.
The project OF farming out the revenue, intro
duced into the Mexican Congress by the Minister
OF Finance, has met with much opposition from
the papers al over the Republic The SieLo
says it is assured that the Government has deter
mined to withdraw the obnoxious measure
Messrs. Bates, Jamison & Co., a large English
house In the city of Mexico, who have branch
in Brownsville, Texas, presented a petition TO the
Chamber of Deputies, on the Sd ut., praying that
one hundred and forty bales of imperias and Sc
ven boxes OF sewing thread, which were passed
through the custom house at Matamoros under
the Avalos tariff, and which are now detained in
Monterey by order of the Government, be per-
united to pass into the country. They also pray
that II this be not done, the goods be returned to
them, and they be remunerated for the duties paid
and expenses attendant upon their introduction.
The petition was read for the first time, but not
acted upon.
The Minister of War and Marine calls the at
tentlon OF Congress to the meritorious services of
Gems Canales Asalos and Jaregui, Col Valentin,
and other officers III defeating tne late attempt at
revolution OF Calvaal; and recommends that these
officers be suitably recnmpensed
Three ofthe murderers OF Senior Beistepui. named
Jose Maria Rivera, Fernando Santian and Jose
Medina, had been sentenced to DEATH their ight
hands to be cut from their bodies and placed ia a
conspicuous position at the place where the MUIR
der was committed. Another of the accused was
sentenced to six years. imprisonment, and the fifth
was acquitted.
The Siylo calls upon Congress to pass law for
the promotion Of immigration, and speaks of the
policy OF encouraging German emigrants to colo
nize in Mexico
The Legislature Of Vera Cruz has resolved to
petition the General Government to permit the in
