BY the schooner Major Barbour, arrived at Ne'
Orleans last week, we have advces from Vera Cru
to the 9th inst. The Vera Cruz papers make no fr
ther meuton Of the lillibuster rout in Sonora "
learn, however, from passengers that the prisone'
taken at CaborcA. on the 9th inst, sixty i've in nun
ber and among them Capt. Crsbbe, had all bee

The difficulty with the British Government, grog

ed its final determination. According to an agree
ment between the Foreign Department and the Br

eminent lawyer, would act i'll behalf of the EngI.;l
Legation; the accused would plead his own caut
not his own in reality, says the Sligo, but that OF The
Republic
The Progresso of Vera Cruz mentions the sppoin'f
ment of l.. Valente Baz, chief of the office of H.
Home Departneut-an appointment much praised b,
the liberal papers, hut displeasng To the reactonar
party. Among the candidates Of this party for 'tI
Presidency is mentioned the celebrated Santa AIMS
The liberals stiiI cling To Comonfort, and there ~
now every probability Of his election.
The Vera Cruz papers make no further mention o.
the difficulty with Spain other than To reprbI'sh "
counts already before our readers. The Progress
however, quotes a statement Of the Iierado ms

The struggle between the civil and ecclss sstci
powers which at one time threatened all the Repul
lie had gained, seems for the moment suspended
not closed forever. This happy result is attribui
not only 10 the firm stand OF the existing Cover
ment, but 10 ts faithful and energetic support by
large portion OF the clergy Themselves. The res
tionary party evidently no longer indulge the hope
regaining power by force Of arma and, acqulescil
in the new order of things which the Constituent Al
semby have inausuratei, are wisely prefsrring to d
peal to the balot-bo1.
