have but little to add sir &C l closed my letters
Of the Isth inst only to say that there is an empty
treasury snd the troops unpaid for the lsst three
months; and the moneys which should have been
given to them used by Cara and his minio1s and
hence terrible discomfort, which is assuming
,erious aspect low 10 this garrison, and the
majority of the troops refu.ug TO do duty, demand
ing their back pay or at once dismissal from the
service.
Two serceauts have been arrested, and, they
being the leaders Cara threatened TO shoot them.
but the garrison declared to q man thst CARA
should meet hi, fate the first, and b, dead cock
in the pit Now. the fact is that none of the party
are worth the powder and lead that would be con-
sumed in shooting them; so, TO save the precious
sanere M,Iicano Mexican blood, the sergeants
were forthwith released. The poer soldiers are IN
this country at all times the implements Of force.
Nov they are gaining more intelligence, and are
well aware OF the ylllalny of their leaders; and
hence passive obedience is being set aside.
The troops eyince no i'll feeling toward the clti-
zens, and the merchants, although drained Of
money still came forward with relief to the
garrison; Vet again Don Juan took the lions share.
garrison wish 10 rid themselves of this double
dealing General. But, alas for unhappy Mexico,
very portentous shadow is hanging over her por
tails and such is the situation of this place and the
dsafectiOn of the garrison that one hundred men
could enter in fact, any force that can pay the
troops-the people are so Disguised, and feel as II
they are without home or country, end are willing
to surrender 10 the fret assailants no matter who.
The next plan of Cara Is to sell the govern
L.
buildings over which he assumes authority, and all
the public edifces and the shore lots on the river
which belong 10 the municipality, for the use OF
the city, all TO be sold at public auction 70 the
highest bidder. Whether he, Cara, may hnd a
purchaser or not is smother thing
MiramOn has gained complete victory over
Degollado and has taken his artillery and baggage,
and scattered his troops, portion OF them joining
Gen. Blanco, who is now said To be marching
on San Luis Potosi; but Mramon's force is ahead
Of Degolado's, so as TO sustain the garrison at
the latter place Meanwhile, each party are helping
themselyes 10 al the requirements on their rugged
journey.
Theirne1t move is to be TO Tampico, to Oust
Cara: fun is not much wanted here, as the
Dinero-as the troops say they have no country,
and famine is staring Them their wives and their
little ones in the face; they want bread and they
want repose and peace, but how 10 ootan them is
the question, and from whom
This question will require more than mathe-
macsl study, b there is not, nor has there been,
any parallel 10 the rapid rate OF rulers IN Mexico.
We will give late Instance, with the names: LIST,

Senior Robes, the late minister at Washington.
The latter lost his election. and Mlram0n, sOn-ln-

in a few weeks, Mexico has had hye Presidents,

Sierra Madra Republic. and call for aid from the
United States: but they are opposed to Juarez, at
