MEXICO.
On the 24th of June, the city of Matamoros 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 so divided in interest, are becoming 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 Maximilli m is beginning to look rather gloomy. His treasury empty, the public works undertaken by him shortly after his arrival are in a languishing condition; on all sides the Liberals aregaining ground, and altogether he seems to be in a very bad fix indeed. At Vera Cruz, the "vomito" waß raging and the deaths were numerous. Lt°was believed that Santa Anna was acting in the interests of the Church Party, formerly headed by Maramon, and that in consideration of its influence in elevating bim to the Pre» dency, he had promised to aid in restoring its power
and property.
