Tuarez’s Resigna'ion— Advance on Zacai.cas—Porfirie Dias Still Meditating—Horrible Murder by Guerilias—Death of Mr. Lyon—St. Domingo Affairs—Interesting Discus. sion om the Subject—Opinions of a High Oficial, &e. ‘The early hour at which the Fagle leaves to-day de- prives mo of the time necessary to give a perfect digest of the news from Mexico received yesterday afterroon by the British mail steamer from Vera Cruz. At the game time I do not find avything of very great import- anco, uniess it be rumors—whick are more than donbt- ful—that Doblado and Ortega were endeavoring to get Juarez to resign the Presidency, previous to their making terms for theinzelyes with the imperialists. This is a very clnmsy rumor, and does not merit the slightest credit, It appears, however, that Zacatecas had not, up to the latest dates, been ocenpied by any Kranco- Mexican force, Dob!ado and Orteza were there, doing, I know not what, while the imperialists wero certainly advancing; for it is absolutely necossary to the success of these Jatter that so important « city on the high road to the northern States of Mexico should be occupied as goon as possible. Probably for this purpose there is a general movement of troops from all sides in that dires- tion, Bazaine, at the head of two thousand; Castagny, with eight hundred, and Colonel Aymand’s command of fourteen hundred, have all passed through Guadalajara and took the road to Zacatecas. “1bis about the 12th or 13th of last month From Morelia comes a rumor that Uraga has been cap- tured. Though quite probable, it is not to be believed till ccmirmed, Douni was very close on his track, pur- suing also the flying eolumns of Berriozabal, Tapia and othors of that shattered army. At every step the pur- auers were making captures of men, mutes, munitions ard everything that an army carries with it. Porfirio Diaz was in the State of Onjaea, stil! meditat- ing, it issaid,an attack on Preble, It takes him a long time to make up his mind, it appears. At the city of Pueb‘a the well known Padre Miranda lies dangerously iM.

Marquez ‘was quite well of bis wound, and received trom a 4 tation of ladies of that place the official act of adhesion to the new order of things,’ as the imperial system is called, A most revolting affair occurred near Jalapa. A party of Juarist gueriilis attacked three carriages, containing unarmed travellers, all of whom, including the cntire es- cortywith the exception of one lady and achild, were murdered. Among those who perighed in this inbuman manner were a danghter of ex-President Aris! daugh ter of General Moreno, and another yonng lad ‘teen.
