VIVA CRUZ, May 81, 1868.
Pr0nuncfa'ntent0s are the order. The feeling OF
opposition to the Juares administration existing at
the time OF and developed by the conuocatorta Of
August, 1857 which has lain comparatively quiet on
account Of exhaustive nature Of the struggle which
preceded as bursted into action and from different
sections comes news of important movements which
win require all the energy OF the government to sup
press. The more prominent Of these are in
favor Of Ortega, now imprisoned In Monterey,
and claiming to be constitutional President

Juarez's term expired. His history for the past
two years s well known to the people OF the United
States, and need not be repeated here. There are
few men to whom the liberal party owe more, as to
his military successes in 1850 may be attributed the
defeat OF Airamon and the reactonary party ana the
restoration Of Juarez to the capital and the posses
sion OF the government. The most active intelligent
and determined Of his supporters at present is
General N. Negrete, at one time II mistake not a
member OF Juarez's Cabinet. He abandoned him,
however, when that worthy prolonged his term OF
once by decree ana took up his residence in Browns
vile, Texas. Here he labored for time at the
trade OF unsmith, which he had learned in
adversely. He at all times favored the pretences
Of Ortega, and for some months past has been
supporting his claims In armed opposition to the
government. He was accused OF being privy to the
Piot 10 assas6inate Juarez and the members OF his
Cabinet IN February last but those who know him
best declare him Incapable Of such crime. The
pronusscanatent0 Of AurelianO Rivera who since the
issuing Of the c0aUocatOrtd, has been bitterly hostile
to the Juarez government, will doubtless concentrate
all the elements OF opposition, unless the govern

vent it. The document itself Is brief and would
