MEXICO CITY, January 18.

The Juarez government has addressed a circular to the governors of provinces, directing the suppression of organizations collected within national territory. Mr. Cruces of Madrid, January 10. The Juarists occupied Oaxaca on the 4th—the Diazists retiring toward Puerto del Angel, whence they embark for Mazatlan, where they will attempt to revive the waning revolution—the backbone of which is broken. The government gains strength, whereas the revolutionists lack concert. Revolutionary chiefs are quarreling among themselves. The government General Rochelle was killed, and the revolutionary General Rocha wounded, in the battle at San Mateo. The annexation fever is prevalent among the people. All politicians are opposing the intrigue. Foreigners think that, in an American protectorate, lies the only safety of Mexico. The government declines sending ministers to the United States, Spain, Germany and Italy, on account of the expense. The study of the English language is becoming general among the youths here. Failures of merchants, manufacturers and miners are reported. General Rocha, at the head of 250 men, is marching rapidly on San Luis, in order to save that city from the revolutionists. He will then proceed to the Rio Grande.
