Nothing is more unreliable than Mexican news II
from French source MI is covesr DC rosc; G from the
uarstas par,sans or President Jusroz no army OF
crusaders, tbeed knights am a. that ever did such
marvellous feats or performed srch heroic deeds az

doing or going to do when tho invaders
overiake them, and il from the friends
OF Almon,e everything swImmingly for them

our news comes think, from French sources for wo
hear Of nothing bur duphcav.nqs OF tho people
in favor Of order of things and the overthrow o
President tuarez, whose cause, wo are told is
daily ard hourly iwindling 10 the most u.
significant proportions. Yc there Is one fac, well
worthy Of note s,rB.ingly noongruons with such
report and strongly contradictory OF much that hear
much that my confidence in french veracy has been
much shaken That fnct is that President Juarcz has
sembied the Congress Of the countrys representatives
in which every state has voice; and that Con.
sress has given its unanimous support 10 JuareZ,
may be the address to Tho Mexican peo-
copy of which you letter. If this Fac,
be not tcstimony TO the popularity and ability ~
Juarez, then ai at a loss to know what 10 think ef H.
This Congress has vated tho against the
French with yigor, and furnish all the means
they can command This, then, is necessarily the
vote Of all Mexico through her Official organ, The
Leg stature. and is either the expression Of the
real sentiments Of her people, Or Congress ceases

invas.on be based the rrotence suppotion Dirt The
Nexicans desire change OF governmental system Va
