By the arrival of the steamship tennessee, we
have file of the Progreso to the 9Th inst, in which
we find some items OF news, though nothlng SUM-
ciently definite to enable to judge of the political
condition of the country and the relative strength
of the contending parties.
1t appears that Guadalajara did not surrender 10
the Liberal forces on the 18th ult., as had been
stated, but the 28th. The Progreso says that
this success more than counterbalances the defeat
OF Nldaurri at Ahualulco. The defence was ex-
tremely obstinate, and the garrison made many
desperate sallies. During the whole time OF the
siege, which lasted more than month, Miramon
made no attempt to relieve the place-a fact which
indicates that his victory over Vdaurri must have
cost him dearly. After the capture of the place
the popuace hung Pielago, and Col. Monaco was
executed in the Plaza. A letter to the PrOgreso
says that the people displayed the utmost enthusl-
for the Liberal cause.
Degolado intends to impose loan upon the
clergy, and ''nationaize'' the church property,
which amounts to a large sum, as Guadalajara IS
one of the richest cities in the Republic.
Gen. Ariteaga, with 1000 men, had joined Degol-
lado, and Aramberri, with 800, was near San
Luis, with the purpose of preventing Miramon from
advancing from that city.
The letter above quoted says that Robes and
Miramon both aspiring to the Presidency; that
Zuloaga has warned Robles not to move from ia
lapa, and that the clergy have offered another
million to Zuloaga.
The Progreso of the 9th reports that Zuloaga
now anxious to retire from the Presidency, and
that he has received such blow, by the fa'l OF
Guadalalara that very little effort is required Tor
his overthrow. The same paper reports that
Guanajuato has been attacked by the Liberalists
under Ariteaga, that Aramberri has routed Mar
guez at Zacatecas and that padre Miranda has lett
the ministry.
MaZatlan has fallen into the hands of the Liberal
lists, so that the only port on the Pacific now held
by the adherens of Zuloaga is the little town of San
Bias.
In speaking of the condition of Vera Cruz and
the Juarez Government, the Progreso says that
their resources are not very abundant but that the
Llberaist Government has managed to sustain it
self without recourse to any of those arbitrary ex-
actions resorted to by the opposite party. Com
merce has been relieved from restrictions the i'm
portation of previously prohibited articles is now
permitted The export duty has been taken off
from silver.
On the Sd inst, SO prisoners, captured in an ac-
tion at Tres Encinos, brought into Vera
Cruz.
The war steamer Guerrero, which, it will be re-
membered, revolted against the Liberal Govern
ment when conveying supplies to Cara, before
Tampico, has again fallen into the hands of the
Liberasts. She captured while ascending
the Tobasco River.
The Spanish steamer Colon has made her
appearance off Sacrifcios.
The expulsion of Mr.. Perry was made the subject
of remonstrance by the British Minister, Mr..
Otway. He asked whether there was any existing
law against the purchase of silver in bars-the of
fence with which Mr.. Perry was charged. The
Government replied that no law of the kind was in
existence, but one would be made. ''To such a
conclusive reas N, - responded Mr.. Otway, "nothng
could be answered.
The official account of the defeat of Casanova by
the Liberalists states that Casanova lost over 200
men, while the loss of the Liberal forces amounted
to more than six.
