-, The English steamer Jersey brings dates from
the City OF Mexico 70 the Both ult., and from
Vera Cruz to the 4lh inst. El Gtobo OF the 2sLh
ult. says IN It's semi-monlhly review, that there
are lndicatlons of social crisis, such as has
never been experienced in the country; that the
commerce and industry are completely para
Hzed; that nearly all the cotton and other
factories have been closed, and that large
humber OF the poorer class have been thus
deprived OF the means OF earning subsistence.
The Ministry, 1t adds, confines to be without
ahead. short time ago rumors were in cir
cula,ion to the effect that either Senor Romero.
Minister of the Treasury, would take charge of
the Department OF State, or that that Office
would be intTusted to Senor Riva Palacio, OF the
Supreme Court. The probability is, however,
until Congress meets. The first parliamentary
transactions will probably determine the reor-
Ranizaion OF the Ministry. Some of the present
members will 60 out, and combination will be
effected novel in personal but not in political
character.
With reference to the public peace, there is
certainly importance IN the proposed submission
by the leaders of the revolutionary movement
In the Sierra de Puebla. Nevertheless, it does
not appear to US that this event settles the po-
lttical questions now agitating that State.
Although armed hostilities may be suspended,
the antagonsm will remain, as also q decided
rsncor between the people of the Sierra and
those of the Plains.
Eruption OF the volcano IxfacihuatI.
The Gete Polatico OF Huejotzingo sent the fol-
lowing report on the lst inst. 10 the Government
of Puebla:-
The constitutional alcalde of the village Of
Nopopoalco in this municipality, informs me-
under date of the 2lst of July, that the day
previous about 10 o'c ock in the morning loud
noise had been heard in the mountain called
"lxtacihuatl;" that a few moments afterwards it
was observed that the mountain vlbrated and
opened at its most elevated point, towards the
east with an inclination towards the
South, at place called Ell Caballette,
above the Torrecia: q strong wind immediatel
rushed forth from the opening, toe ether with
huge fragments of rock, which, rolling down
the side of the mountain, uprooted large trees
in their passage. The smallest of these rocks
could not be moved by two hundred men.
There also came out OF the crater at the same
time huge stream of water having the odor OF
sulphur, OF dark color, and in such quantity
that it carried away the dam, presa of the said
village OF Nopopoalco, destroying the aqueduct
in an instant, and followed its course to the
river Acececa. On the same day ordered an
examination of the localities, when it was dis.
covered that the amount of water coming out
Of the opening was quite small, and on the 22d
IL had ceased running altogether.
Several persons engaged IN cutting ice on the
sides Of the mountain, fled on hearing the noise
three among them not having time to save
themselves were carried away by the current
and up TO the present time have not learned
what has become of those unfortunates, who, |
have been told, are natives of the village of San
Ma'eo Osoleo, municipality of Culpan, in the
district of Cholula.
