night, from Tampco, whence she sailed on the Sd
inst
We learn from Capt. s., that revolutionary out
break was momentarily expected by the people,
partly on account Of the non-payment of the gov
eminent troops, and partly in consequence of the
great disadvantages arising from the port regula-
tions latterly established by government the tariff
Of duties being fifty per cent higher at that place
that at Matamo ras. There were no vessels in port
at the time of sailing, and although it is one of the
best places for trade the coast disastrous had
been the unequal regulations to the mercantile in
terests, that arrivals were very few indeed. Capt
S. was also informed by Mr.. Chase, the American
Consul, that the fiscal affairs Of the nation were in
very deranged and deteriorated condition. and that
at Tampico, in particular, the people were in
slant ferment, in consequence of the general NAL
administration of the governmental concerns.

present high rate Of duties had been imposed at
Tampico, the most favorable place of trade with
the hope of building up, in some measure, if posi-
bic, the fortunes Of those in power.

numbering 500 strong, had embarked for Matamo-
