Special 10 the New Orleans Crescent,


MAT,NorAs, June . 1861.
| Mr.. Edi.0r-The non-arrv3l of the steamer
Arizona, and the threatened blockade of your
ports and that Of Braz0s Santiago, among the bal
| anCe, has caused some stagaaton in business, and
some movement in politics in this place. The
blockade of the BrazOs eeCtGally stops all impo*.
tati0ns into this place, and the closing up Of the
| Rio Granie is an act of war on the part of the
| United States against Mexico. We are mainlr~da-
| pendent here on New Orleans for our breadstuftS
and to cut Us off from your port is to reduce us to
tortlIlas and beans, Of old. You can, therefore
imagine the interest We feel in the MATTER and par
tculary since it is known that the stock of bread
stuifs in this market is very inconsderable owing
| to our disbelief in the ability or power of Lincoln
to carry ont his plans Of closing up all the Southern
| coast. We never realized the possibility of the
thing until news arrived several days since that we
were to have no more steamers. And we are pc
Culiarly straitened in our supplies from the fact
that the commander of the Texas troops some time
since prohibited the expectation of -four into this
| country from Brownsville, and placed guards at
the different ferries to intercept the transit across
| the river Of all flour, coffee, sugar, etc.
| Now, the question arises with US, what will
| Mexico do in this juncture? 1t is impossible to
talk of her breaking through the unjust and illegaI
blockade, because she has no force wherewith to
| execute such movement: but it is presumed that
her Minister at Washington City will at once at
tract the attention of Lincoln's Government to the
illegaty and injustice OF the blockade of the Rio
Grande, as far as Mexican rights are concerned.
They ankees, | presume, have no Darticular de.
sire to make themselves more unpopular with this
people than they are already, and their Govern
ment, it is thought, will at once take such stems as
will release this port at least from the evils Of the
blockade, by allowing all vessels to enter the
mouth Of the Rio Grande that have cargoes for
Mexican c0nsignees. If this justice is not extended
then we suppose that President Juarez will at once
dismiss Mr. COrWin from the halls OF the Monte
Zamas, and it is said by Government officials here
Mexican with tba
tederate States in making naval force that will
sweep the Gulf OF the brgauds chartered by that
nnprincipIed crew who are So sadly out of place in
the White House at Washington.
Tha late election in this State for Governor and
Tor Judge of the Supreme Court resulted in favor
OF the old party, to-wit: Cyprian Guerrero for
Governor, and tor Judge, Modesto Ortiz. Esq The
defeated candidates represented the Red PeDub-
lican party, or rather the Radicals who favor
great reforms on paper. After it was ascertained
VINO the successful candidates were, the Reds at
tempted to start revolution, and Mariana Trevi-
ano organized a crowd Of followers in Reyn0sa of
about sixty, and declared that as the late election
was carried by fraud, he would attempt to annul
it by force. The authorities were too active how
ever, and he was caught in short Order and is now
IN prison in this city, where he will remain until
the authorities determine whether they will shoot
him or set him at liberty.
Ihe State Of Z4caecas has been seized with the
recent Joint resolution passed by the Legislature of
that State, it declared that the State of Zaca-
tecas would not recognize any Government in Mex
leo which was not derived from the present Con
stitution, and that the instant the Central Govern
ment passed any measure contrary to the strctest
constitutional authority, Zacatecas would resume
her sovereignty, and withdraw from all connection
with the Government at Mexico. Pretty strong
Secession doctrine that!
The recent election here resulted in favor of a
party whose organ, the Pr0greSiStd of this CITY,
holds the following platform in the present emer,
gency:
Religious Toleration-Liberty of the Press-Re-
mOval of the Seat of Government from the CITY of
MeXcO-EXpulsiOn of the ajority of the Clergy
from the Republic-Arest and punishment of the |
authors of the Plan of Tacubaya-Laws in favor of
lmmigration-Laws distributing public property at
cheap rates to the poor-Pubc Instruction-Con- |
tinement of the disturbers of the peace in the |
Islands Of the Government-EXact compliance
with the LaWs-EXtinctiOn of the Robbers in the |
epublic--EXpulsion Of all Foreign Ministers who
favored the Miramon party-Pr0mpt settlement of |
all difficulties with Spain, or war-and other fug
tive plans for banks, ETC., etc.
The late rains have been of signal benefit to the
crops, and we are now enjoying the results in an |
abundance Of vegetables,
The cattle market is dull owing to the great ex-
cltement in your country, which has withdrawn
most of the traders from this section.
Quite number of Americans have passed thro' |
this place, on their way to settle in the interior OF
Mexico.
learn that the best feeling exists between the |
commander Of the Mexican forces here and COL |
Ford, Of the Texas army,
