MEXICO.
.On the 24th of June, the city of' Matamoras, which has so long been held under Imperial rule, surrendered .to the Liberal forces under General Escobedo.. The whole tenor of recent Mexican intelligence goes to show that the Mexican people, so long scattered and hitherto Eo divided in interest, are becoming more and more united, and much more warm in the cause of the independence of their country. The Imperial forces have lately suffered a number of defeats, and the cause of Maximilian is beginning to look rather gloomy. " His treasury empty, the public works undertaken by liim shortly after his arrival are in a languishing condition ; on all sides the Liberals are gaining ground, and altogether he seems to be in a very bad fix indeed. _ . ■ At Vera ,Cruz, the " voniito"- was raging and deaths were immeraus; If was believed that Santa Anna was acting in the interests of the. Church party, formerly headodsby Maramon, and that in consideration of. its" influence "in ■elevating liim to the Presidency, he had v - 'promised to aid in restoring its power and property. . -.-.
