REIGN OF ANARCHY IN MEXICO-CAPTAIN
ALDHAM, OF II. B. MS SHIP YALOROUS,
ATTACKED BY ROBBERS.
VERA Cruz, March 20.-Absence on business and
| stay of a week at Minatitlan has deprived me oil
| the pleasure of communicating with you.
The state of affairs in this country is deporabe.
Civil war has demorazed this people to such an
extent that it will take century before the coun,
! try RECEIVERS again.
The Liberal Government means we'll, but is pow
eress to check all the evils the country is suffering
| from.
The principal road to the city of Mexico swarms
with bands of robbers, and the coach hardly ever
arrives without having been attacked half dozen
| times.
Poor Mr.. Yorke, in defending himself, and killing
one or two out of the seven who attacked the
coach, fell victim in the neg ghborhood of Perote
| captain Aldham of Ii. B. Ms ship ValorOus,
! who was on his return from visit to the city of
| Mexico, was attacked in the neighborhood of Ori
| zaoa, and received two severe wounds. He is now
lying in critical condition at Cordova, the physi-
clans desparing Of his life. at all events amputa
| tien of one of his legs is unavoidable.
lady In the same coach with Captain Adham,
was also severely wounded by pistol ball through
| her shoulder.
| The surgeons of the British feet at Sacri6cios.
| have left for Cordova to attend Captain Aldham
1t is said that some of the former reactionary
forces now lowering about the neighborhood of
| Cordova made the attack on Capt. Aldbam by or
der from high quarters of the Church or Reaction
party to avenge the stand taken during the siege
of Vera Cruz in March last, in which Capt. Aldham
had shown himself against Mramon and in favor
OF the Liberal party.
The government of the city of Mexico is issuing
one decree after another, and all to no purpose,
and the Cabinet, consisting of poets and ignorant
men, wants the nerve to apply the proper remedy.
Mr.. Lerdo de Tejada is down with the typhus
danger.
Our excellent Governor, Zamora. will probably
not live till to morrow-an attack of dysentery
being the cause OF his sudden decease.
1t has not been ascertained, yet, whether the
last election reelected him again, or whether Mr..
Mata will be our next Governor. At all events
troubles are apprehended should Mr.. Iamora leave
a vacancy. According to the Constitution, the
Judge of the Supreme Court elected by the people,
has to fill the vacancy. The present Judge, how
ever has not been elected by the people, but is
named to occupy the bench by the Government:
the people will not allow him to take the reins of
the government of the State.
Meetings are held daily to discuss the point
The United States ship Macedonian is still at
SACRIFICES. Officers and crew all well.
March 2l.-Mr. Manuel G. Zamora, Constitu-
tiona Governor of this State, died last night, and
with him one of the first pillars to uphold consti
tutional right has fallen.
The express train from Mexico brings no news
conducta left Mexico with 81 200, 900 for this city
on the l4th inst.
Zuloaga has begged the Government to give him
passports to leave the country having got tired of
hunt ng up Indians to fight for him.
Our files, indeed, are filled with accounts of sim
liar attacks upon travellers in all parts of the coun-
try. Some charge them upon the reactionary
party alone, but others, With more Justice, proba-
bly,, find sufficient cause for them in the distracted
state of the country and utter decentralization of the
people.
INVASION AND SEPARATION.
In the meantime rumors had reached the capitol
that party of fllibusters had invaded Lower Cal
ifornia, while from the north it reported that
a movement was in progress for the separation of
number Of the border States and their erection
into ''Sierra Madre Republic" No particulars,
however, appear to have come to hand, and it is
probable that in the latter case the movement was
simply one of rebellion against the Central Govern
