Goods to the amount Of 100000, imported
from Valparaiso on account of the French in
Mexico, were also repudiated to the great dis
gust of the parties interested, ar ,f,sc s.
The general condition of the country was
deplorable, and under no other government
had things been in such a state of chaos
Most of the French troops had gone to the
Northern frontier. 1t was said there would
be general rejoicing if the few hundred re-
manning at Magatan should follow. But for
the action of the French authorities, it is be-
heved there would have been good trade
with the Western ports of Mexico all through
the winter, whereas every thing is now de-
pressed.

NEW OIsLEANS. NOp. II.
The Times has a letter from Brownsville,
dated the 15thinst., corroborating the statement
that the Imperiaists had fired on Federal
boat drifting down the river, causing the crew
to run her ashore and take safety in fight.i
The Imperial fire did no harm to the boat, but
the captain had narrow escape, mhsket
ball passing through his hat. 1t is understood
that Gen. Weitzel has demanded an explana-
ton of the affair." At present matters are
quiet. The nature of the correspondence be-
tween Gems. Weitzel and Mcjia, relative to the
firing from the American side on the, Imperial
gunboat Elantora, and the sympathy shown
by the Federals for the Liberals has notyet
transpired.
The order of Gen. Mejia, prohibiting inter
course with Brownsville, cannot last as the
Liberals will probably surround Matamoras.
They will then be compelled to draw supplies
from Brownsville as heretofore. 1t is supposed
chat the order was issued to prevent ingress of
spies into MatamOras. sylsl,l
