 Ocampo, wbo remains in charge of the Home De-

 All our Consols, with the exception of Mr. Mack, 

 of the city of Mexico, ore everywhere aflicially 

 recognized. The most friendly feelings are ex- 

 pressed by the Liberulista for the United States, 

 from which they expect assistance against the 

 reactionists. The Americans in Mexico, bewever, 

 alter their surprise that so much indifference is 

 manifested in this country towards the Liberal 



mated by the hope of success, the immediate w

VEWfi.— The datee from Vera Crni are 



graph Compa: 

 Used Mr. F. C. West, an Enginee 

 experience in testing and experimenting on tele- 

 graph cables, to proceed to Valentia and examine 

 the present state of the Atlantic Cable, and his 

 report is published in the English papers. After 

 detailing tbe scientific result of bis experiments, 

 he concludes as follows:— "I am of the opinion 

 that a serious fault exists about 2G3 statute miles 

 from Valentia, measured along the cable, and that 

 the cable between that spot and this shore is cc 

 poratively perfect. The trouble is, from here 

 cannot now decide whether the cable Is DMOhj 

 caily severed ; and all attempts to delect the 

 ception of the most intense currents from the 

 opposite shore, have since proved fruitless, still, 

 from various circumstances attendant on the de 

 dine of the insulation, there is every reason to be- 

 lieve that the continuity both of the cable and 

 conductor is perfect. Whether any other faults 

 exist beyond the one alluded to.it is impossible to 

 ascertain by tests from Valentia. The fact that 

 signals received from Valentia, were always better 

 than those received from New Foundland, proves 

 undoubtedly that the worst insulation has always 

 Valentia. Therefore it seems probable 

 that if the fault that exists on this coast, which 

 Tery likely forms tbe principal cause of leakage, 

 would be removed, the insulation' would be so fur 

 proved as to render the cable again available 

 for signalling, provided the fault which is said by 

 those who have tested from New Foundland to 

 exist near Trinity Bay, was removed."

 according to intelligence from Zurich, the French

 the different sovereigns. The affairs of the Duchy
