| N1essrs. Edtors-Since wrote my last letter mat
ters of interest have transpired in Mexico, for al
though there has been fighting, it is said by Bull
wer that States sometimes saved by the pen. If
this is true, then Mexico ought to be preserved
beyond doubt, for the pen is very busy in minister
ing to her peace and safety just now. The Tennes-
see which left Vera Cruz the 23d, put you in pos
session of the news up to that date, which involved
the intelligence of the recall Of Santa Anna, the man.
ifesto of the British merchants in the City of Mexico
against Miramons party, and the attack Of Marquee
on Morelia. 1t is useless therefore, to enter into any
recapitulaton of the news up to the 23d ult, and,
therefore, shall conine myself to statement Of what
has transpired since.
The steamship Jasper, belonging to the Tehuante-
pee Company arrived in this place on the 29h from
Vera Cruz, bringing dates and from that place
up to the 2Sth five days later than those you re-
ceiyed. l had conversation with Mr.. Allen, who
came down the Jasper, and he gives me the latest
news current in Vera Cruz at the time Of her de-
parture.
A report reached Vera Cruz on the 2Sth that Mira.
mon has discovered and suppressed pronuncamiento
at the Capital on or about the 2lst ut, which
about to break FORTH at the nstigaton of the priests,
against the Conservative Government in favor of Zuo
aga Itappears that the Church has got tired of Mi
ramon, for he makes it pay all the money and at the
time he does not return to it any Of the property
bypothecated and sold by order of Comonfort. The

ism butalwaysfor their own especial benefit and they
find that Mramon has only been using their influence
without making any return for the assistance. This
did not suit them, and they are now quite willing to
overthrow him for Zuloaga, as the latter did make
some effort to return the padres to their fat lvings
while he was in power. But the promptitnde Of Mi
ramon was too great for he sooner got wind of the
revolt than he arrested Padres Miranda and Jaurequ
the heads of the revolution and ordered them to be
sent to Vera Cruz to be dealt with by the berasts.
This is not the end of the matter in my opinion, for
if the Church has commenced conspring, it will not
be long before she will find an instrument or hea
capable OF developing her intention and desire. On
this revolt, think the Lberasts may hold their
strongest hope of success for when Mramon loses
the Church, he has parted with half his strength.
By the Tennessee you was informed of the action
of the Conservative faction in restoring Santa Anna to
his old position at the head of affairs in this country
As matter of course this movement created i'm
mense establishment in all parts for it was the most
unexpected of all Mramons rather eccentric move
ments Nobody seems to be willing to undertake an
explanation Of this policy and therefore, am left
in the dark to the ultimate design concealed under
the decree. But Of thing feel assured that it
is Spanish intrigue and that, but for the in
Europe it would have developed very peculiar fea
: ture Of European interference in Mexico. Santa
Anna has been negotiating with Spanish adventures
and officials for the last three years. and welladvised
} people have contended that Gen. Concha and the
Spanish deetin Havana would ultimately be of ser.
vice in establishing him in Mexico do not pre-
tend that Spain has any completely in the movement
of Miramon, Santa Anna, and the famous Admira
Marin but, think it rather suggestive that when
: Miramon was at Meden, Spanish vessels brought
him recruits from Havana took away his wife and
treasures and offered to assist him away in the same
2 manner. At the same time, Admiral Marin, who com
T. mands the imaginary squadron OF Mramon, has de

and says he expects to get assistance in enforcing il

old treaty. said to be alive between Spain and Santa
Anna that the latter was to be restored to power in
Mexico, on condition that he settled the Spanish

These are speculations; still, taking all things to

could get vessels at Havana to carry the blockad

As evidence Of the utter and absolute conte mr.

b foreigners have but to call your attention to th
Ii conduct of the British in Tampco, when vessel
steamed into the harbor and dropped her apchc
front of the town without the slightest recognitio
N of the local authority. Complaint was made by th
j. commander of the place to the British Consul, an
also to the captain of the ship that his act
only contrary to the police regulations Of the harbo
ID but that it contrary to the treaty between Eng
le land and Mexico. No notice was taken of the pr
text and the vessel remained in the harbor for Sc,
'e eral days. when she sailed out moniously
" she had sailed in. Now, if there had been any sell

resulted in ruin to the town.
= You are informed that two expeditions have bee
dispatched from the city of Mexico towards the
IN coast the to attack Tampico and the other to

I'd commands the Tampco force, which amounts to zoe
Of men, and Gen. Cobos heads the party against Oak

I'd against Tampico will be failure unless it is rel.

1900 more men, when there is some chance of its SUI
