So soon as the news was received at Tampico

zgasssaSssiss4slS
So soon as the news was received at Tampico
and Matamoras, q strong section OF troops from
each city marched on Victoria to quell the
movement, and the latest news in regard to the
state Of the insurreetion received in Mexico,
were that the insurgents had fortified themselves
In Victoria, with two pieces of old iron cannon,
which had been long since abandoned as useless,
and some old small arms. They are represented
to be without money and munitions, and there
was not the possibility of doubt that they
would soon be oyerpowered and receive the pun
ishment they merit, (Which Of course means that
they would be shot) And, indeed, it would
seem they have but slim chance, for several
batalhons Of troops, besides the two from Mata-
moras and Tampico, have been ordered to Vic
toria, from San Luis Potosi and other adjacent
points
Throughout many Of the Southern States Of
Mexico the locnsts were making terrible havoc
| among the crops.
On the 10Th u July last, Santa Anna granted
| to Don A. j. tocha an exclusive privilege for
the construction of a railroad and telegraph
| from Ri Paso, Il from Preside del Norte to the
| port OF Guayr Is, on the Gulf of California.
Mr.. Atoeha is bound to form his company for
building the road within one year, and to finish
the road within twelve years from the time Of
| running the line, or in fact within fifteen years
from the granting of the privilege. No grants
Of land are made to the road except such as
may be necessary for the roadway and stations
decree has been issued, authorizing the
| free Importation of arms and munitions of war
| by the port Of Vera Cruz and along the northern
| frontiers.
| Another has been issued, authorizing the free
Importation of grain into Tabasco, which is
menaccd by famine.
| A notorious scoundrel, named Antonio Mer-
| cado one of the supposed assassins of Count
Cossato, has been arrested, and is now in irons
awaiting trial. 1t will be recollected that one
of the villains accused of this atrocious murder
died in prison, with the cholera, a short time
since.
| The health of the city of Mexico is fully rees-
tablished, the cholera having entirely disap-
peared.
Vicente Pillar, ] ose Gabriel, and Esteyan Mar
tinez, the three robbers who were tried and con-
vlcted OF having assaulted and robbed the dill
gence at Cruz Manca, on the 10Th of August,
| 1858, were executed in Mexico on the 9th ult
They killed one of the passengers in the diligence
and wounded two others The laws appears to
be strictly enforced in Mexico
The able editor of the n Y Mirror, who has
been luxuriating for some time past at Newport,
in letter to that paper, of the Sd inst, says:
| The news received here this morning by tele-
graph from Washington, Of the success of the
revolutionists in Spain, and the fight of the
Queen to Paris, has occasioned good deal Of
excitement, and the question is warmly dis
GUESSED by intelligent foreigners, whether the
Duchess de Montpensier, the sister Of Isabella,
will be raised to the throne; Or whether new
dynasty will be called into power All who
have carefully watched the progress of the revo-
luton, think they can see the paw Of the Great
Bear directing the movements of the Spanish
rebels; and there is but little doubt but the
state Of affairs at Madrid will distract the atten
ton and eomplicate the operations of the Allied
| Powers.
In this emergency, think the time has come
to negotiate for Cuba. The pear is now ripe .
and ready to fell into some body's lap. France
and England have their hands full in the East
All the available resources of both nations will
be required 90 nurse :" the sick man." whose
cause has become their own. The readers Of the
Mirror well know how strongly we have resisted
the lawless attempts Of the Fiibnsters to ravage
the ssQueen of the Antilles and to rob the
crown of Spain of its richest jewel. But sue
cessful revolution at home absolves the Island
from its allegiance to the mother country.
@Cuba, with all it's sweet treasures, is floating
ipilotless and rudderless past our doors. Now is
the time for the United States to stretch forth
her hand and catch the priceless pearl-not by
robbery, but by diplomacy. Commercially, the
Island will be worth to us twenty millions annu
ally and as the recent Riciprocy Treaty, is the
first practical step towards the annexation of
Canada, it really looks as if the day we're not
distant when the stars and stripes shall float
over and protect one grand Continental Union,
from Behring's Straits to the Southern 1sthmus
