TAMFIco, May 2l.-The most important
event to US Americans, since my last, has been
q visit from our mueh esteemed Minister, the
Hon. Robt. NJ MeLane, who, although hi'
business here was exclusively confined 70 tbs
Z. s. Consulate, was nevertheless received BY
the authorities Of the city and State with Al
the honors due 70 his rank. The moment b,
arrived az the house Of Mr.. Chase, be was ten
dered a guard Of honor bv bis Excelleney
Gov. Trsvino, which he politely declined, but
= salute Of tWenty-one guns from The fora
welcomed him, a. the honored representative
o. the United States, n the chief port ant
State Of Tamaulipas.
Mr.. McLane was accompanied. besides his
private secretary, Mr.. Elgee, BY Capt Farra'
gut, of the L. s. steam sloop-of-war Brookiyz
who also was the object Of many attentions
from our citizens. The State Of Tamsulinss
though there Is a strong, active ana conhdenl
Reactionary party here. is essentially liberal
and It il 70 this, or. a. it is called, the Constt
tutional party that the present goFernmen'
/ adheres. Had cur Minister'S verY acceptable
visit. therefore, been known beforehand, b
would have been the recipient Of stu furthel
honors from a community who know how r
appreciate his much spplauds3 course Il Ven
| Cruz, In the recognition Of the Juarez Govern
ment, but as It was, we have nothing OF whiei
70 complain. While here he was formally
visited BY al the chief officers Of the STATE
upon whom be made a very favorable impress
sion BY his sfable manner; and, the night Be
fore he left, he was honoTed BY a serenade fron
the military band.
Il would have been gratifying to rs ali &
have had the visit Of the distinguished repre-.
ssntatives Of orr country prolonged, especially
70 have had the opportunity 10 admire more a
leisure the magnificent proportions Of the YES
SCI in which they came-the finest. by far, tia
has ever been in these waters, but Mr.. Lane
engagements forbade II. We hope, however
% have The pleasure II a second visit from al
during the summer, If the Brooklyn, as sh
probably viii, remains on the Mexican coas;
As the visit Of Mr.. McLans to this port va
for The express purpose Of devising the props
plans FOR the better protection OF American
citizens and their Interests here. We begin {
feel that orr Government has resolved no long
er to neglect rs, notwithstanding the power
fol opposition the President has bad TO eontenl
with from the course q an obstinate Congress
And this we are encouraged The more 70 be
lievs from the decided course Of our Ministe
at Vera Cruz. a. also from the reported Tesolu
ton OF the Government 10 have our squadron
In these waters increased. This last, in partie
ular, is a step 10 the right direction. Tier
is nothing that has lone so much FOR the pro
lection Of English and French interests her
as the periodical appearance OF numerou
squadrons on the coast. Only let the Presi
dent now send out here a strong feet, and W
shall begin to think that our name and infu
enee in the Republic are again in the ascend
ancy. The recognition OF the Constitutions
Government Of Juarez has set Us right, 90 "a
as our ~nationsl sympathies 20, and al "
want now is a firm, decided and wei support
ed policy, and we need not hasten or fear II
inevitable course Of events in = country 81
ready crumblinC to pieces.
We have had no revolutionary movement
since ny last, Of which to write you bat en-
