HIGHLY IMPOK rANT FROM MEXICO,

LToyTesS V he heU0tduOn- The Liberals
Marching on the CdpitdL-P Prepdratioas for
ITS Defense Orders TO Melt up the Church
Plate.
The Vera Cruz correspondent Of the New
Orleans Picayu1e, gives, on the I'd inst, the
particulars of Mexican news, brief an
nouncement Of which has already been made
by telegraph:
The Mexican mails by the schooner Vir.
gtRid AntOinefte and brig Hope, which left
Vera Cruz on the I'd inst, came to hand in
full this morning. Dates from the City of
Mexico are to the 29th ut. and the news
from all parts of the Republic is of the high
est importance. Our correspondent at Vera
Cruz furnishes to us the following interest
ing resume:
l. The English express which arrived this
morning, brings news from the capital to
the 2sth. The Liberals were reported to be
rapidly advancing on the city, and to num-
Der 10000 men. Miramon's whole force in
side was said to be only 1900. An attack
| was expected on the 9Th inst. The general
| impression here is, that the city will be
| taken.
O. The most vigorous efforts, however, are
being made to defend it to the last extrem-
| ity. The Church had been called upon to
| give up the holy plate, to raise money, but
| the order bad not generally been complied
| with. AT last accounts, some 500, 900 only
had thus been raised.
3. All other means failing, a new forced
loan was projected, and was daily expected
to be proclaimed. 1t was, however, to be
levied on Mexicans alone. All foreign resi-
| dents were to be excepted.
A. Among those who were most active in
| providing means for the defense of the citV
was the new Spanish Minister, Pacheco,
who was also trying TO bring the other
foreign representatives into his plans, but
thus far without success. Here, at Vera
Cruz, Pacheco is styled the quasi dictator Of
Mexico.
8. The Bishop Espinosa, of Guadalajara,
has been released by Gen. Degollado, at the
request of Gen. Uraga. Meanwhile, it is
reported that Uraga himself has escaped.
Zuloaga's escape is confirmed.
6. The official report of the defeat of Gen.
Cobos, at the head of the Miramon forces in
Oajaca, came to hand to-day. 1t caused
great rejoicing here, and the President,
JuareZ and his Cabinet, as also Governor
Zamora, were serenaded.
Z. The official report of the defeat of Mira
mon at Silao has also come to hand. The
President was utterly routed aud lost every
thing, his personal effects and papers, $40, 600
in money, all his artillery and nearly all his
army, both officers and men. He himself
barely escaped with his life, and made his
way to the Capital only in company with q
few friends. Immediately on his arrival he
resigned the Presidency, but was subse-
quently urged to resume the Office, which he
did, when the Spanish Minister, Pacheco,
formally presented his credentials and recog-
nized the Government. Miramon himself Is
, said to be in very low spirits. He is entirely
in the hands of the Spanish Minister.
8. 1t is stated that General Robles, who
, commands between Jalapa and PuebIa, was
paid $40, 900 by the merchants of Mexico Il
let the late e0nductd of 100000 pass I'M.

cuse to help himselfto $4,000 more on the
way, for which he gave an order on General
Miramon, interest and commission included

in command of division of 5000 men.
10. OF the $6OO0OOO of specie brought
B down to Vera Cruz and to Talnpico, tn,
=. British steamer took $4,6o000O. A larg'
portion of the rest goes to New Orleans BY
the Virginia ARtOinetts and Hope. Full
half of the whole sum would have gonl

here. The money was mostly Mexican
!. dollars. .3sl1
IL. President Juarez has replied to the de
4 mand of the Spanish Commodore for the re
!. turn of the bark Maria Conception, refusing
to give her up. Innumerable threats of bonn
+" harding the city are made, but they amour
l., to nothing.
