A courier from some party in Mexi-
co, who was found in consultation
With Ortega when the boat landed, has
also been arrested. #9# lo
Ortega has made a protest against
the arrest, in which he refers to the
guarantees under which he came, guar
antees which he claims, in their scope,
tactitly admit his proper political
character as the constitutional Presi-
dent Of the Republic of Mexico. i.
He then reoites the acts accompan-
ing and including his arrest, and pro-
tests first, against the violation Of the
individual guarantees, given by the
law Of this country 10 foreigners trav-
cling therein second, in the name Of
and as President of the Mexican Re-
public, as constituting an indirect in
reference, by armed force of the
United States, TO the solution of local
Mexican questions; and third, against
him direct orindirect which, by force,
attempts to impose upon the people
of Mexico the factional government
of Don Benito Juarez.
/ am satisfied that the people here
will be, hereafter, much more active
in support of Juarez, and at least q
strong moral influence will be exerted
TO settle the troubles over the river.
Gonzales has offered to surrender
Matamoras TO Topia,, in obedience to
orders from Juarez, on certain condi-
tions. which the latter declared un-
worthy OF notice, and said hewould
attack the town at an early day.
Esooboda had dlbeen, orderedyto sch
tie the difficulty by Juarez, and was
expected to. start. for Matamoras on
the 9th inst, with 1900 men and six
pieces of artillery. It is probable
therefore, in conjunction with Topia
he will attack Matamoras about Tho
10th or 18th inst.
