HAVANA, July z. The English
steamer from Vera Cruz brings advices
from the City of Mexico to the Thrift
eth of June. On the twenty-sixth part
of the crew of the Mexican war steam
er Llbertad, In the harbor of Vera
Cruz, mutinied and seized the steamer
while the commander was on shore.
simultaneously some of the officers of
the Vera Cruz garrison attempted to
raise revolt at the insugation Of
some discontinued persons. Nine of
the rebels were killed. The steamer
Lbertad went to sea. The war steam
er Independents and other steamers
had gone in pursuit and she will prob
ably be overtsken.
The accounts of events in Vera Cruz
are very conflicting. The government
has apparently mastered the situation,
but since the revolt of the garrison a
reign of terror has prevailed there.
All the Vera Cruz merchants are hos
tile to the government in consequence
of the passage of the law against con-
traband trade, anu Rthey have ever
since been in a state of quiet revolt.
It is generally believed that the re-
voltars who were killed were assassin
ated in the guard house on the pretext
that they had attempted to escape.
The reported resignation of Senior "a
macons, Mexican minister to the
Usited States, is officially denied.
