ism on the part of Almonte, and has accepted

The SOcteddd OF the 18th says:-"Although the
text OF the Concordato will not yet appear Off
eially in Europe, it will be published before the
Commissioners in Rome have finished their
labors satisfactorily, 1T IS expected that they
will soon be recalled. The arrival of Senor
Zalazar Harrequi in the steamer Ctuddd Condn
from Vera Cruz induces one to suppose that the
contemplated changes in the ministry will be
carried out effectively. We do not vet know
whether Senior Somera has taken charge OF the
Ministerio de Fomento public Works."
The Imperialist: General MendeZ arrived in
Mexico CITY on Thursday and it is believed that

The reports of the affair at Morelia have been
so contradictory that it would appear that the
account given by the PGjGro Verde seems the
most likely. The action took place on the goth,
in the plains of Uruapan and was an obstinate
battle, although adverse to the Imperialist arms
inasmuch as even General Mendez had to escape
by fighting his way through the enemy. The
rout created great alarm in Morelia and Joluca
Mendez, far from being Disconnected, rallied his
forces, collected five hundred men who were
struggling, harangued them and threw himself
upon Uruapan, where the enemy were resting
on their laurels, and cut them up badly.
General Mendez made his entry into Morelia
on the 25th, with the prisoners he had captured
and the arms taken from the Liberals.

The Era and Estatette speak of a late imperla
reverse suffered by section OF the foreign regI
ment under Count de Brien, near Parras. Two
small detachments were surrounded and de
Btroyed by the bands of Escobedo, supported by
large number of American negroes. Brler
