Important from 1IexicO-The City of Mex-
leo Invested by the Libe raj Army-BIira-
mon still under rArns-General Zuazua's
Death hCoDfrmed-Great Fears Ofa Panic.
By a recent arrival at New Orleans from
Tampico, late and interesting advices have
been received from Mexico.
The Liberal army had invested the city of
Mexico with an immense army, and all their
troops in Tampico and the neiRhboring coun-
try had been sent out to re-enforce them, and
it was expected that they would make an at
tack about the 10th of September. Miramon
was at small town about twenty miles
from the City of Mexico with about 1000
men, but it is the general impression through
out the whole country that he can not hold
out much longer. The report that was
brought here some time since by the steam
ship Austin, from Brazos Santiago, that Gen.
Zuazua. of the Liberal army, was killed in
an engagement with Miramon, is corrobo-
rated at Tampico. .ruu ..-.
From letter dated Tampico, August 8,
we gather the following news;
A conducta arrived from the interior some
few days ago, bringing $2O47,l50. The
drouth is reported as very severe, and this,
with the marauding bands which infest the
interior, will very soon bring the country to
utter ruin. Great fears of famine are en-
tertained in the interior, and there is not q
single bushel of corn or wheat in the gram
aries, which formerly supplied the wants of
the people. This state of things is, no doubt,
the consequence of the internal struggle
which has lasted since Comonfort heft the
country. The population is either coerced
into the ranks or compelled to flee from their
oppressors into the mountains, thus leaving
the crops of many to go to utter waste. The
men who brought down the c0nductd suffered
severely from the want ofwater, and thirty
four of them were left on the road to perish.
The principal item of news from the in
terror is the difficulty which has lately
taken place between Degollado and Doblado.
| The latter was elected or rather appointed
to the Governorship of the State of Guam
| ajuato, and soon after concerted plan to
1 depose Degollado from the Command-in-
| Chief Of the Federal Army for incapacity;
| but he being informed of it, attempted tC
/ arrest Doblado, who, however, got the new!
in time, and retired to his headquarters
4 where, II is thought for the sake of sparinf
the effusion of brotherly blood, he will no
be molested. Miramon's troops are at La
gao, closely surrounded-so the Fedora
papers say-by 0zagan and Vega.
The Boletin Federal reports that Miramon
had suddenly disappeared for parts unknown,
abandoning his army, which circumstance
4 inspires the Federals with new hopes.
| IL u vague lCaoi
| shadow of truth.
4 The health of Tampico was at no period
better than it is at present, and as yet not a
solitary case of the many malignant fevers
which visit us during the dog-days, has been
reported by the medical faculty
Corn is excessively high, so much 30 that
the Municipal Council have resolved to buy
up all that comes TO the market, for the pur,
/ pose of reselling it to the poor people at {
moderate price. r. i.e.ei. ~ = -.
