tant documents touching the prospects OF

ing communications from Presiden Jua-

cretary of State, Mr.. MI. Lerdo de Tela-
da. Juarez left Chihuahua on the fifth
of August, and arrived OH the fifteenth
Mt FL PasO, where he established his
governme en- +, surrounded by his Cabine',
as we have heretofore announced. But,
Notwithstanding he has fOundi it expe-
dent to thus temporarily change his
CAPITAL, he is not only hopeful, but con-
fident, of an ultimate complete triumph
over the invaders. He has still large
bodies of troops at his disposal, who have
commenced attacking the various de-
tachments of the I%mperialists IN detail,
now that the latter have SO greatly weak
ened their lines by extending them, and
he anticipates decisive victories for his
8 )ldiers very sOon. He does not think
that Maximilian's forces will he likely
TO attempt to drive him from FL PasO;
but, even should they succeed in doing
so, he has no idea of abandoning his
country, but will remove to some other
point within its limits, and there con-
tinue the struggle, sanguine of ultimate
success. #lH- :
