Officer, de-, dc.
News has just been brought into Vera Cruz In advance
Of the mail that the liberals have met with two very
severe reyerses and that the government Of President
Juarez is in bad condition General Dobado, in COM
mand Of the liberal army Of the State Of Guanauao at
tackled General Wo in command OF the reactionists at
Leon, and after losing considerable number Of troops
was compelled to retreat. Gen. Vol took immediate all
vantage of Dobados confusion and followed up his ad
vantage with rapdity driving Dobado past the city Of
San Luis Poos, which he at proceeded TO occupy
This is considered very important gain
The courier also brings news of the advance Of
Castellas brigade 1900 strong upon Jaapa from the
city Of Mexico, with the probable design OF attacking
Vera Cruz Alvarado while the liberal forces en-
gagged n the interior The American Consul here thinks
that the design to attack Avarado and then Mnattan,
thus placing Miramon in communication with two seapors
The conservatives have vengeance against Vera
Cruz and this is probably the best way TO reap it, for
that place has nothing to support but the interior trade
which would thus be cut entirely away from
Another report that General Espejo, who from
Vera Cruz to attack Cordova has been badly whipped at
that place by division Of Robles' troops.
All these disasters, coming suddenly have created
the impression that Mramon has been furnished with
money by the church, and that In the present unsettled
state Of Mexican affairs with the United States be intends
to make desperate and energetic stroke recover his
lost ground The sending Of CasteIa away from Mexico
with 5000 men, lends pausibity to the idea; and am
credbly informed that Juarez already trembling for his
situation &c sees no way out Of the difficulty but by
speedy reconciliation with the United States and to
bring this about he is not only willing to promise any
thing, but he is in state to sign anything. If do
not throw away the present OCCASION did that
the LIST Of April the long pending treaty acquired and
now we can commence negotiating for advantages
The arrival Of General Marin at this pert the steamer
and his sudden start for Vera Cruz given rise many
reports calculated False hopes that are at last to
have the treaty ratified General Marin is the secretary
of Minister Teada, and he gave out while stopping here
that he went to Vera Cruz for powers ratfy the late
treaty without delay Teada writes to Juarez that such
is the only safe course and from indications given
Vera Cruz, have no doubt but that General Marin will
return with full powers TO sign Mr. McIane's treaty,
troops and all ! am satisfied myself that this will be
done, and il now rests with government TO say bow
far il is satisfied with the programme. / think, in COM
mon with most Of the Americans here that il falls short
of the wants of the day, and that must commence
negotiating anew for benefits that will be OF some
present use Mr. McIane's treaty, simply procures
advantages that to be reaped ten years hence
while the practical wants Of the present entirely
ignored. We needed free trade to steamers, and
warehouses without the necessity OF railroads. We
wanted free port this gulf, and wanted the pass
port and stamped paper systems done away with. In
place Of these immediate necessities, have acquired
rightsthat are to benefit US ten years IRON now.
The fiscal having closed the 30th of September
Mr. Aen United States Consul at this port has written
out his usual able report, from which condense the fol
lowing figures. Mr. Allen has been efficient officer in
this place, and his ability has constantly been directed
TO the advancement of American in this quar-
ter His suggestions TO the Secretary Of State and to
Minister Mciane were very important, and To him be-
longs the credit Of the warehouse system which has been
most imperfectly carried out in the treaty.
The actual shipments Of mahogany, hides and separs
from This port for the fiscal just closed have been
against u.s. but this be accounted for by the back
wardness OF the rainy season which prevented the ma
hogany from being RATED down the rivers by the war

this market AS is however, the account stands very
favorable in respect to tonnage give you compare
