[Translation.]

It is believed to be known with certainty that the Juarist refugees at New York and Washington are preparing a movement in favor of the ex-President, and that they propose to stir up troubles simultaneously at Matamoras and in Sonora; that meetings have been held at lawyer Chamcey’s, 243 Broadway, in the presence of some members of Congress. There Generals Doblado and Berriozobala, the intended leaders of the insurrection, must have stated the object, which would be to persuade the federal government that the people of Mexico are impatient of the new order of things; that everything is ready for action. The business houses of Ok, King & Mira, Fausto & Gorcouria, will take charge of the voyage for the partisans of Juarez on the eve of setting off from New York. Already those whose mission it is to rouse Sonora, seven in number, must be on their way to California.
