the conviction upon which your Excelency, with rare

A letter from the best-informed authority at Vera
Cruz thus SUMS mp the actual state of things:
Affairs in this country remain still in very unset
tied state. Mramon recently made sally from the
city, and suddenly pounced upon force in Tolnca Of
1900. under Barriozabal, taking him, Degollado,
Gomez Farrias, Rosas, Lando and other Chiefs prs-
oneIs The Liberals concentrating their forces
gradually upon the confines of Mexico, but with their
usual apathy
Mirarnon has a force of about 5000 weldriled
troope while the Liberals have from 20 900 TO 80 900,
sueh as they are he will doubtless make bloody de-
Tense. look upon the revolution as far from being
near Close and look for permanent peace until the
protecting arm OF the United States is thrown the
country.
AS TO the affair at Toluca il is believed 10 have been
the work Of treason. Some Of the party have, for
many months past not enjoyed the fun confidence Of
tie Constitutional party. .r
Ofthe prospects for the future have diverse opin-
IONS The people of Vera Cruz still confidently enter
tain the belief tina, they will succeed in capturing the
City of Mexico but passengers by the Tennessee ex-
press doubts.
The new French Minister, NJ. Dubois de sahgny, re-
ceived deputaton Of his countrymen on the 10TH lie
assured them that he had instructions from the Empe
ror Napoleon TO protect them and their property at any
and every hazard.
The Presidential canvass, We understand, proceeds
in a very quiet manner. Sr Lerd0 de Tejeda, late
Mini Of Finance is said to be by far the most popu-
lar candidate and il believed he will be elected by
large majority. The election takee place the rst week
Of January and the next arrival will doubtless bring
us enough returns to enable to form opinion Of
the result.
The candidates for Governor of Vera Cruz are the
present incumbent, Zamara, and Senior Meta, late
Mexican Minister 70 the United States. 1t is believed
that Gov. Zamora will be the choice of the people
