Events in Mexico.

We avowed low days since, the belief IT. nj
the civil war IN this Inflated country was proha.
bly, near its end; but events seem now to be
thrown all aback, by the breaking up OF the con :.
ference AT Vera Cruz and the resumption Of hos.
Utilities before thatc,ty. The telegraph, that ire

specting the position If Miriam N 81 IA ii rep e.

Upon ibis subject, the New Orleans Bee h as

There n, as we have before intimated, FAR more
reason to apprehend officially with Spain. Our

stated that all',se time Marin was fitting out his
expedition at Cuba. he stsid at the house Of tho
captain Of the port and that the arms, a,unt ions
