having on board the Hon. R. McLane, U. s. Minister,
accompanied by Mr. LaRentrie, Secretary Of Lega.
tion, and Col. R. B. Thyman, U. s. Consul at Vera
Cruz.
We have been able to collect the following facts in
re gard to the unlawful detention of the specie train
by Gen. Robles, which, by the timely Intervention of
Minister McLane, was allowed to proceed to Vera
Cruz:
The parties interested at the City of Mexico made
ARA ngementawith Miramon's Government by which
they agreed to pay that Government s per cent,
(beng the whole amount of transit and export duties
on specie), and in consideration of which Miramon
pledged himself to safely escort the "conducta to
Jalapa, with the understanding that at point near
Jalapa a detachment of troops from Vera Cruz was
to take charge and escort the conducta y into Vera
Cruz
Upon arriving at Jalapa, about the l4th of June,
Gen. Robles, according to orders from Gen. Miramon
overhauled and verified the specie, in order to see
that none had been smuggled into the tran and dis
patched 80 of his own cavalry as escort to accom-
pany the trains far as the Punta NATIONAL when
it was to be placed under the charge of Gen. Paz
But upon the second days march, an advanced guard
of Gen. Robes cavalry again interrupted it, whilst in
the pass of Cerro Gordo and ordered the conducta
to halt.
Shortly after about 600 troops under Gems. Robles
and Cobos, came up and informed the +" conducta .
that they ordered to take charge of the specie
and transport it to Sacrcios there to besshipped
board of the French and English war vessels lying
there. 1&
About the same time the timely arrival of Captain
Farragut with Mr. McLane's protest Of such unlawfu
seizure Of the property Of American and German citi
zens, who had placed themselves and property unde
his protection, soon convinced the Generals that
was the better part of discretion to allow the con
rived and Is now waiting shipment for New York ant
New Orleans, as there is large amount destined fo
the latter place.
The war news is of no particular importance, botl
parties still watching each other.
The forces under Gen. Cobos, which have beel
menacing Oaxacca for some time past, have bee
withdrawn and the city released from the threaene
| siege. The Governor of Tehuantepec had sueceede
r.. aJoo -, Sl,o A.
| Tested it between that place and Oaxacca. Th
Patricios had moved up the coast and Joined Genera
Mazano at Huamelua, where the Miramon forces ar
concentrating with the view of seizing the port
| Huatulco.
| A strong movement is being made by the Mramo
party to obtain footing in the southern and wester
parts of the State Of Oaxacca. The Indifference
the Liberals and the recent impressment of many
the rancheros into the service Of Juarez favors th
design.
