Mexican News
Adviees are received from EI Paso to the
10th of September, confirming the reports of
fixing the seat of government there.
Juarez' official Journal contains a letter
from one of his staff officers to Mexican
officer, saying that Juarez is confident that
the French will have to leave Mexico and
let the people settle their own difficulties.
The Estafette, the French organ of Mexico
City, of late date has been received. 1t
warmly urges emigration to Mexico, es-
pecially from the southern district. 1t de-
tails many highly advantageous induce
ments offered by the Imperial government.
Southerners can bring negroes as appren-
tices under the condition prescribed by the
Empire.
The Picayunc says the city is besieged by
Cortinas and Escabadow with 5000 men. No
serious assault thss yet been made. All COM
munication is cut off except Brownsville,
where provisions are drawn.
Gen. Vega is reported besieging the I'm
perial forces in Tampica-
The Times Matamoras correspondent of
the 18th says the whole town is entirely
alarmed. Escabades, Cortinas and Cavals
have 25OO men and u cannon. The foreign
pickets were driven off and pursued almost
into town by Cortinas. For five months
there has been a repletion of these scenes.
Cortinas, with force estimated from 800
to 500, keeps Matamors so closely besieged
that no one dare stir an inch beyond the
Notifications. There is no communication
with Bagdad exceptby the other side of the
river, and none at all with Monterey and the
interior. General Meija has ordered all
communication closed with Brownsville.
The chapparel has been leveled for artillery.
Meiia has about LOO men, all armed and
equipped, but he lacks officers and gunners
The native population decidedly favor the
Liberals It is believed that the Liberal
force is greatly exaggerated. 1t is hardly
thought that they will assault the town, but
probably besiege it and try and starve it
into submission or force the Imperialsts to
give battle.
