Alvarez has been elected President of the Re-
public by the Electoral College in session at Curu-
vacca, but the military powers of the capital will
deny his entrance, SO that hard fighting may be
anticipated before lie can have the opportunity of
assuming the reins Of government
General Vega has withdrawn from the civil
power, and refused to obey the orders of Alvarez
for the arrest Of the fugitive minister under Santa
Anna, and to arm the National Guard, which
was superseded by Vega.
Ii is reported that Alvarez designs to assume
the civil supremacy.
Rumors were received at the capital that the
American minister had furnished money and arms
to Alvarez This is, however, denied by Alvarez
and also by Mr.. Gadsden.
Mexican dates of the 9th instant have also been
received, from which we learn that the garrison
of the capital has sworn alliance to Alvarez. The
appointment of La Vega as Post Commandant
General has been revoked and General Condo
appointed in his stead.
Alvarez has formed new Ministry, as follows:
Ocampes, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Conan
FORT Minister Of War; Juarez, of the Interior and
Justice; and Prieto, of Finance.

JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION
OF Copaiba! ia Chambers street, N. ".
TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
!, nItIa h 10. ,adi x.ir,


W properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented lis administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual " modHs operdndf' of prescribing it, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or Gelanous Cap
.ules has not been found satisfactory, beng liable
to some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
rIenced by some individuals in the degluttion of
the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaba gem
orally found in The Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution of Copaba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced TO the
medical profession, as il contains so per cent. of
the pure,t Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and al same time mixes clearly and freely with
water and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians aud analyti chemists IN the old and
new worlds 10 contain all the medicinal proper
ties OF Balsam Copaiba without its disagreable
characteristics.
Ills efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rhepa, LeucorrhGa, elect, painful hemorrhodal
affections and in chronic irritation OF the bladder.
