away with the proposed Ship Canal

immense truck with one thousau;,

upon the turbulent sea Of revolution. A
letter received from Monterey. dated
June 1lth, states that Negrete, Comman-
der in-chief of the Mexican Army. had
pronounced against Diaz with 1000 men.
Chief Justice Vallarta has assumed the
Presidential chair pro tenn, which Pres.

In consequence of the excitement and
uneasiness Congress adjourned its session.
