tOsi, where il will be remembered, the irontiermon
under Gen. Nidaurri were opposed to OsOllos and
Miramon the commanders of the Zuloaga Govern
ment The accounts published below favor the
JuareZ Government. Whether they are reliable
not, remains to be seen. We extract the following
intelligence from files of the Progreso, the of
fetal organ of President Juarez:
On Saturday last 10Th inst, at $50 A. NJ,
shock OF an earthquake was felt at Vera Cruz
The shock lasted about fifteen seconds
The Monterey Boletin Oticiai, mentions the ar
rival of four pieces of artillerey at that place, sent
from the State of chihuahua. Sr. Coronado, the
commander Of the chihuahua troops, was reported
to be marching from Durango to re-establish the
Constitutional (Juarez) Government there. His
forces consist of 500 men and battery.
The Progrcso has a notice of an engagement be-
tween the ZulOaga forces under Negrete and the
Constitutional troops under J. NJ Bello, near Son
qumistla. in the State of Puebla, on the 10th of
June. Col. Ncgrete was obliged to retreat, not,
however, until he had committed great depredations
in the neighbOrhood.
The first rifle regiment of the Zuloaga Govern
ment stationed at Jalapa, pronounced on the 18th
inst in favor of the Constitutional party.
Gen. Echeagaray encountered them at Cerro Cor
do. and put them to flight. Gen. Manero was killed
in the engagement.
ment of Santa Anna, and resigned the Presidency
of the Republic in favor of Comonfort, has written
a letter to President Juarez, congratulating him on
his safe arrival at Vera Cruz, and pedging a cor
dial support to his Government. Alvarez, with
his pintos, was at Providencia, hacienda in the
northern part of the State of Guerrero en- route for
the city of Mexico
Col. Cobos leader of the Zuloaga party, has

between the army under Vidaurri and the troops
of Osollos and Miramon is also reported to have
taken place. These reports came to Vera Cruz Uia
| the city of Mexico. The recall of Santa Anna was
spoken OF as a probable event; also the prOciama-
ton of new constitution, with Osollos Provs-
iona President.
The seaport of Mazatan, the only one on the Pa
citc side hitherto in the hands of ZuOaga, is also
said to have pronounced in favor of Juarez.
The Liberal party in the city of Mexico were be-
ginning to give signs of life. Copies of little
sheet, called ala Aldrmo," were secretly circulated
in the city on the I'd inst wherein the Government
of Iuloaga is denounced in bitter terms, and the
Liberals from other parts of the Republic invited to
march against the capital, and put end to the
| tyrannical government there extant.
Sir jose NJ. Diaz-Ortas has been elected Govern
or of the State of Oajaca. He is adherent of
the Juarez Government.-N. 0. Delta, Jnne &c.
From Correspondence of the Mobile Registerl
CITY OF MEXICO, June 10, 1858.
COUSe-
quence of the armed enforcement on several foreign
houses, among which are some American ones, OF
the ''war contribution" recently decreed by the
Government, in defiance of solemn treaty stipua-
tions and against which Mr.. Forsyth has protested
you have doubtless heard, in the most energetic
terms. Foreigners who refuse to pay this niquitous
tax are charged with contumacy by the Govern
ment, and threatened with Punishment. Indeed
an American merchant has already been furnished
with passport, ordering him to leave the Republic
| (!) within three DAYS
As this refusal to pay is in strict accordance with
the advice publicly given by the American Minister
to his countrvmen, this last arbitrary measure is
clearly and Extensively directed at him. and has
prompted very curt note to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. A suspension of all official intercourse
with the Mexican government will probably be the
grave consequences, though the government fully
expected that Mr. F. would Indignantly demand his
passports which is exactly what they wanted, be-
ing DESTROYS of getting rid of the ablest and most
uncOmpromisng diplomatic officer by whom it has
been forced to do unwilling justice, at any price
whatever Such an irresponsible government fears
not even the wrath of Uncle Sam, knowing that it,
own existence will hardly last month.
Never was American influence the prestige OF
| the American name as great here now. The
course of Mr.. F. has the admiration of hi:
countrymen and all the foreigners throughout the
Republic. The French Minister, Marquis de Gabri
ac, who sided with the government, is universally
mathematical by the French and others under his
diplomatic protection, while Englishmen say that
| Mr.. Otway might have followed with more graceful
alacrity in the footsteps of his colleague of the
! United States. Meantime bands of soldiers Wis
iting the counting of merchants and embar-
going their goods. At San Luis Potosi respectable
Englishmen have been compelled to march in the
ranks of common soldiers for refusing to pay new
contribution.
The baeful fires of civil continues burn all
over the country, and thinking men gravely ask
each other where the colossal saturnala is to end.
In view of the unprecedented condition of the
country at large, and of the government here,
which is moneyless, and must sell territory to the
United States, or fall soon, cannot help thinking
that Mexican nationality is approaching its end
and that there is strong probability that the mis-
sion of Mr. Forsyth will be the last mission from the
United States here The most intelligent Mexicans
and the of the foreigners, except, perhaps the
| Spaniards, are warmly in favor of the extension
hither of the power of that country. The English
eagerly desire it the only method of securing
their enormous claims so long unpaid. The throes
are quick and violent, and anxious to be in at
the death of the sick man. The witnesses of the
national demise would afford much curious and
valuable instruction and offer such opportunities of
observation and experience rarely enjoyed by
the most fortunate in this life.
