Mexican Affairs.

Tn the Brownsville (Texas) American Flag, of the
10Th ultimo we find the following article describing
the disturbances on the Mexican side of the boundary
line between the two countries. Although the artce
conveys nothing certain it is interesting 1t IS mpos'
sible to tell which party is BEATEN but 1t IS qulte
evident both have suffered severely-measurlng sui
ferinrs by the Mexican standard. Poor Mexico 1t
appears as though she was destined never to enjoy
period of protracted repose The elements OF discord
will break forth continually and thus one OF the
lovliest and most fertile countries under heaven is
kept depressed and impoverished.

We extract from the Picayune of yesterday the fol-
lowing news from Tampco
La Union, of Tampico, contains lengthy account
of the pronunciamento at that place on the 30th ut,
of which we were already advised by the last steamer
It resulted in the complete overthrow Of Galzas au-
thority, and the instament of f. Gauter Nadomar az
Commandant. The Union says that this act cannot
but meet with the entire appreciation of President
Comonfort, since the removal of CARA is nothing
more than an emphatic approval of the salutary prln
ciples embodied in the plan of Ayutia Solar as was
