Our correspondent at Matamoros Mexico, writing
on 18th ult., says that the appointment by President
Comonfort of the political chief F. Satilo, TO the
post of Governor of the State of Cohua, had caused
widespread popular discomfort. The people OF hf-
teen settlements of the district had oved to re-
sst il TO the last and the measure was approved OF
by the citizens of two towns only. Gov Vidaurri
had, in consequence, suspended the execution Of the
order of his installation and referred the matter to
the general Congress for reconsideration. II per
severed in a civil war was dreaded, and Leon was
already Ieceivinga supply of arms from New York.
Vidaurri was highly esteemed. Governor CARA had
left for the city of Mckee, hoping to nduce the ge-
neral government take etectual measures for the
benefit of the frontier of Tamaulipas. 1t was said
that large portion of the standing army would be
sent there.
We publish today letter addressed by Mr.. Hugh
R. O'Neil, dated at Cabalo Cocha, in Peru, 10 Mr.
John Boyle chief engineer OF the Amazon river ex-
p.oring steamers, relative to the late murder and
robbery of six American travellers at Tabatinga.
This statement is clear and circumstantial. The
Americans, ourneying from TngoMaria, were
met in the river below Tabatinga by party of Bra
ziiian soldiers and Indians and shot and stabbed in
cruel manner. Their effects were afterwards car
New York and confirms the story of Mr.. O'Nel.
The officer and men who we're engaged in the mas
sacre we're, when he left in prison at Bara de Rio
MICRO, awaiting removal to Rio Janero for trial, if
demanded by our government. The Cabinet at
Washington should attend to this case, as citi-
zens are accused of having committed robbery at
lingo Maria, which is alleged excuse for their
punishment. An impartial trial can alone fix the
guilt on the proper parties.
