Since the publication of the tariff of 1856 (the
one now in force), the port Of Coatzacoalcos has
been declared open to foreign trade. That port as
well as the others, with the single exception Of San
Bias, together with the eight frontier custom
houses are in the hands of the constitutionaliss;
thus making twenty-one of the custom houses in
their hands against one in the possession Of the
clergy.
The present division of the custom houses has
existed from the beginning Of the civil war, more
or less the same. The clergy at one time had three,
and again have had not even one.
The later dates from Mexico represent some
serious difficulties existing between vidaurri, who
is now deposed, and General Degollado. It appears
that the latter, as GeneralinChief of the federal
forces refused to court martial Colonel Quroga for
insubordinaton against General Zuazua. Also, the
appointment by Degollado of other officers to com.
which vidaurri had protested against, and, conse-
quently, published decree recalling the State
forces, and at the same time refusing TO sustain the
constitution.
battle was lately fought at Leon, near Guanay,
between VOL, the woman hair shaver, and Cen.
Doblado, in which both chiefs claim the victory.
Doblado, having l,20o men, fought Vol, who had
5000 and twenty pieces of artillery. The Official
statement Of the action is rather ambiguous. It d
claimed that Vol drove Doblado past San Luis,
and occupied it.
Gen. Dcgollado.i is still at San Luis with good
and numerous force, and will take the offensive,
regardless of the difficulties with vidaurr, and Ia
strongly prepared to meet the reactionary forces.
No important movements have taken place at
Guadalajara. MARQUEE is still at the last named
place, and was recently twice defeated by the
liberals near Topic.
Miramon was preparing to attack Vera Cruz, and
threatened to bombard it. The constitutionalists
generally meantime were on the move, with view
to a descent on the city Of Mexico.
Thus stands the position Of Mexico up to the pres
ent time. A reference to the map will show at q
glance the locations Of the different armies as we
have indicated there the headquarters Of the sew
raj generals. We have also noted the seats of
the two governments claiming supremacy-that Of
the constitutionalsts under the Presidency OF
JuareE, by q star, and that of the church party,
under the Presidency of Miramon, by mitre-the
former being located at Vera Crux, and the latter
at the city of Mexico. That portion OF the rcpuD-
lie now acknowledging the church party Is, NO
think sufficiently indicated BY the dark space run
ming from the borders Of Vera Cruz ts San
Bias on the Pacific coast
