and dcsperadoes, with no political Importance.
Their crimes and dOings have been blamed even

claim to act.

pursue them, and it is expected that the next
mail will bring the news that they have been
caught. A private letter says That Minister Cor

Mexico, and is very much respected in the
Diplomatic body. The news from the United

unless the dash of cavalry on our rear may be
considered such.
