JUAREz HAS THE sNEws OF WAR.
President Juarez has over two millions of
dollars in gold in the Treasury. The possess
sion of these funds will probably insure sue
cess for the government, as the rebels have
nothing. The government has removed the
export duty on specie.
All is quiet along the frontier at present.
General Cortina is at Reynosa, and the
.Juarista Colonel Munez holds Mier.
NO SUPPLIES FOR THE REvOLUTIONIsTs.
The government order from Washington
forbidding clearance of vessels for The ports
which are in the hands of the revolutionists
causes great excitement among the merchants
and depression among the revolutionists, as it
stops all trade with the frontier and cuts the
rebels off from the much-needed supplies.
The American river steamer San Juan is
aground below Reynosa, but has as yet not
been molested by the Juarist forces.
A conducta with $4O6, 900 will arrive at
Brownsville tomorrow. When crossing the

by party of Cortina's men, But the latter
were routed by the escort and three of them
captured and hung. No news had been
received from San Luis Potosi at Camargo up
till yesterday.
