core.r.nd,nce of The y. o. Pieayupe-
VERA Cruz, Nov. 9, 1888.
Az the steamer Tennessee has been detained two
days over her time by q strong norther, il gives me
time 70 drop YOU few items Of news.
The Liberal party here are again restored 70 their
high spirits lost for time by tne defeat OF NdanrT
and the failure Of The attack on the capital of Banco
letters received here yesterday positively confirm
ing the taking Of Guadalajara by Degoiado OF the
Liberal party; and this morning rumor says that ia
lspa has been taken by the forces of the same party
Tie little steamer Guerrero has also been retaken
by the Liberalists and will soon be in port.
The most exciting news here, however, is the arri-
val upon this coast of several Spanish vessels,
three of which sgnaled of this port en- the 3lst
ult., but driven TO sea by heavy nOrther, and
have rot yet returned formidable Spanish steam
war vessel came into port the 9Th inst, and is now
at anchor n; Sacriicios.
BY proclamation from President Juarez, which
senU you, i. will be seen that serious apprchension5
exist here that Old Spsn about to put her finger in
the Mexican pie for Mexico is really all knocked into
pie and the devil will be paid before she Is put to
sortsD. If she does, that pie will be opened
And when he PIE opened and the birds begin D. sing,
VIII not b. pretty dsh to before theUnted States Of
America JUST al this time, 10 prevent Mexico from having
Added TO this news. Madam Rumor says that soon
several French and English vessels of war will make
their appearance at this port for the purpose of de-
mandng the payment o the nstalment due TO bond
holders. As the party in power here have little
money, they cannot :" fork up" and then "we shall
what We shall see"
We have full files of the Progreso 10 the 9th instant
inclusive by the Tennessee, aud documents and de-
crees by the Constitutional Government among which
u the proclamation alluded TO in the letter above pub
lshed.
In this proclamation, President Juarez SAYS it has
come To his knowledge that serious preparations for
war, to be declared against Mexico, being made
in SPAIN The report to this effect, he considers,
could not be supposed TO have any foundation, if
and justice alone o be regarded notwith-
-ta wi pa "a
IL is possible, he says, that the preparations being
made may not have the object attributed 10 them;
that Spain, sensible and prudent nation, will not
seek to compromise the interest OF the two peoples
and more directly of her own sons, in in every
light unjust and impotic; but, he continues, there is
one circumstance which cannot be reasonably ex-
pained, if it be not assumed that the spirit of war
had dictated the measure. Instead of its being made
known that diplomatic agent was on his way to
make reclamation upon the Government for An excess
the part of the national authorities in which case
he would be heard and duly attended 10, assurance
is given that, during the mediation Of two great and
respected powers, common friends Of Mexico and
Spainwhlle before this tribunal representative of
public right the justice with which Mexico ressts
endeavors to compel her to unjust payments ought to
be settled-Span, allowing herself to be reused BY
the impetuOus ardor of unrefectiDg ribunes rather
than by the calmness and ciTcumspection becoming
statesmen, proceeds to attack Mexico without regard
either for their arbiters or for the Judgment of the
world.
Three Spanish vessels Of war; he continues, with
troops for Decentralization left Havana, October lS
to attack either Tampco or Vera Cruz 1t appears,
he says, that tor doing so it is alleged preext,
that forced loan had been levied on the merchants
of the former port without exempting foregners from
il, for which the Constitutional Government had al
ready applied remedy, and the opportunity seized
for doing this is that of the people Of the country
being disuntsd and engaged in fratrcida struggle.
The proclamation proceeds to allege that the aggres-
sion has been concerted by the Captain General Of
Cuba and spurious sons of Mexico intent their
aggrandaement; declares it necessary for the to
be understood and war to be prepared for if forced
on Mexico and asks what negotiation there could be
with such forces as had been SENT lying at TampcO
where competent authority resides II then audes
Ia the aims and efforts of the different factions Mex
leo, and in reference to those who say that Mexico
cannot govern herself inquiries if this is certain. The
history ard progress of the country declared TO
prove the contrJy-the overthrow of the divine right
of kings, the successful opposition to the assumptions
Of the clergy, the rejection of every proposition for
the establishment et kingdom, the overthrow of a
system Of Capitalization, and the establishment of the
power Of public spirit being particularly alluded to in
proof That she had not attained perfection is spoken
of as only natural as neither peoples individuals
are born perfect and the example Of England with
her millions Of poor, her difficulties in Ireland and her
insurec,ion in India, is adduced as justifyng the
remark.
The greater part of the evils from which Mexico
suffers are declared Of essy remedy and, in the
time, the oLe great duty of every Mexican il pro-
nourced 70 be that solely Of opposing the common
enemy. To this duty the country is called at to
attend, without reference TO opinion or party. To
arms, then Mexicans" the proclamation concludes.
" We are believed to be degenerate and unworthy TO
" form nation. Rise and belle the humiliating as
persion, end let show the world that, notw with
standing and foies, the ancient chain that
- bound US to the country is broken forever
God save the Republic of Mexico, and cause the
hearts of all her sons renspired by the presence OF
danger, TO unite in torswearng this threat of
dependence
