IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

The Department Of State has received dis
patches from our Consul at Tobasco, Mexico,
dated January 3, 1866, in which he communi-
Gates the discovery OF the ruins Of two ancient
cities, which have remained unknown since
the days Of the conquest. The first, he says,
from its topography and situation, he is led to
believe, is the one occupied by Cortez at the
time of his invasion Of Tobasco, and is situated
about fifteen miles to the west of Frontera, a
town at the mouth of the Tobasco or Grijoloa
river. The other is situated In the north.
eastern portion Of the State, nearly opposite
the present city OF Laguna de los Terminus,
and was known before the conquest as Tico.
lGnea. The traditions connected with it trace
its origin to period at least two hundred
wears before the Christian era
