WASHINGTON, January 29.--0aicial dis
patches have been received from Vera Cruz,
confirming the newspaper accounts of victories
by the Liberals.
The adyices received there from England
ara favorable to the recognition of the Juarez
Government, which is expected soon to take
place, and, together with President Buchanan's
recommendation relative to Mexican affairs,
heightened the hope of the Liberals of COM
plete success, and produced corresponding
depression among the reactionists.
The Mexican Cabinet, however, do not think
it will become necessary to call for tho aid of
American troops for the contingency suggested
by Mr.. Buchanan.
A number of military men have written to
Washington as TO tho truth Of tho report that
The Juarez Government has invited volunteers
from the United States. There is no official
authority to sustain, nor would they be &C.
ccpted, without the concurrence of our Gov
ernment.
The armed men and others who are prepsr-
ing to 60 South may have other schemes in
view, or be in expectation for call for their
services in Mexico, as the protest Of Mr..
McLane, against the Tancabaya massacre
met with no response from Miramon; 80 the
protest of the latter, against the recognition of
the Juarez Government, will receiveno official
notice from our own.
The official advices from Vera Cruz men
tions nothing about the coming Of the French
and Spanish fleets. Looking to tho present
unsettled condition Of Europe, no interference
from that quarter is apprehended---as the re-
port emanated from the French Legation, as
did the former one. 1t is looked upon as part
of the policy Of dabria, the French minister,
to encourage the re- ctionists at the expense
of the Liberals.
A curious state of affairs in tho City of
Mexico is noticed. Formerly only prominent
Liberals were imprisoned there, but now ultra
Reactionists are similarly punished, owing to
their respective political opinions.
The Postmaster General has issued an or.
der to Postinasters in California to transmit
overland all letters not marked with tho words
"By Steamer" TO or from st. Louis and Mem.
phis. The semi-weekly lines to New Orleans
by way of San Antonio, which ia weekly, the
postage is three cents on single letter, the
distance between these points being under
5000 miles.
The Baton Rouge Gazette says that resolu-
tions are to DO presented to the Legislature Of
Louisiana, proposing conference Of Southern
States in relation to commercial nOn.inter-
course with the States of the North.
Mr.. Realfhas been before the S, nate Brown
raid investigating committee to-day. He tes.
tilted that Senator Wilson wrote letter to DR..
Home in 1857 or 1858, stating that he learned
from Mr.. Forbes that Brown was about to
make raid in some Of the Southern States,
for the purpose of liberating slaves, and that
he would use money furnished him by parties
in N Massachusetts, for his Kansas work to aid
him in his new project, and that in bis will
sons) opinion, it was madness in Brown to at
tempt such thing, and that he Howe must
withdraw oil mems furnished or intended to
be furnished him for services in Kansas, if they
were to be applied in the manner indicated by
| Forbes.
