There has been, of late, much published on the subject of pronuneiamentos, revolutions, declara- tions of independence, and so forth, in Mexico. It is due to the reading public to make a brief expla- nation of these afluire, in order that the newe re- | ceived from that demolished republic ean be the better understood, and more properly estimated at ite just value. For six months, at least, ithas been currently re- ported that Santa Anna was i:nmediately to return to upset the goverment ; and, for six months, nothing has been overturned but these same rumors, Now, the fae is,no one has had any authority for making these assertions, and those who have given them currency have spoken in true Mexican style, more by their wishea than by therr knowledge. Certainly Senta Aana is plottung te return; but he will not venture his sefety in such an enterprise, until be is certain of auecers, ‘The next pronunciamento by this gentleman of the cerk leg will have some features in it differ ent from those of past years. [t will not be sunply a change of goverament; but, if successful, the death of General Arista. Ifunsuecessful, General Santa Anna will meet the fate he has premediteted for his bitter ewemy and rival. In a former article, we stated that General | Arista was elmost the sole government #& this time ; and this may need some illustration — It is true, that he is officially known caly as Minister of War and Marine, while Lacuoza is Minister ef Relations, Arrengois of Finances, and other ministers of state, of the interior, and of jus- tice. And it must ast be forgotten, etthough it seems to be £0 in Mexico, that Gen. Herrera is the President. ‘This cabinet is weak in intellect ane 1 popula- rity, It has done nothing, good or bed. Tt makes no friends by exciting admiration, ard it has not character enough to make any enemies.

He mighrraike a decent alealde or justice of the peace, in a town built of ranchos, where the people sleep owt of doors when the wind blows. He has no mind of his ows, nor will of his owa, but is willing to agree to anything his advisers may instruct him to do. Lacunza has some talent for business; but, unfortunately, he never wae engaged in di- plomacy, and is altogether anew man, who will have to lean on some one better informed. Arren- gois would make a respectable fgure as a coesul in a small town frequented only by fishing bests. He has the good luck, however, to have the evafi- dence of Congress; and having been for eome years consulat New Orleans, he has learned that truth and a show of honesty, at least, are worth something to a public .oflicer.” Amid euch mate- riale, General Arieta has no difficulty in command. ing. lat for twenty-four hours.

His opinion in the cabinet is decieive, and elsewhere his word is law. In one day he aruck off the names of 1,400 offi- cers from active service on the army list and dis- banded regiments. This was for the sake of eco- nomy, but it was also wisdom, as it got rid of every frieud of Santa Anne in the military-establish- | ment. But it required nere to doit. Another ininis er would not have had the courage. He remodelled the police of the-city. He organized a corps of secret spies agents, who at once to the castle of Perote or Vera Cruz. He has lor- tified himeelt in the city of Mexico, ead has the confidence of all the oficers of the battalions and regiments there, while he himseit is the only eneral im command. is friends distinctly ntumate that he will in any disturbacce assume the direction in person, and break up any “meet- ing” (this word is borrowed from ine American army) in the Alamida, and will throw shells into any church the agitators may hold. lt is pretty well understood he will do what-he promises, and | is, by his enemies, reapected accordingly, The troops, therefore, in the ci , canbe relied on, and they are all the strength he possesses. A ma- jority of the citizens are d to'Santa Anna, ut they would to-morrow throw - sheur capa, i | he only could enter at the head of « few ragged lancers, and drawn feur horses in @ state coach. Arieta knows them perfectly. But his enemies are stil numerous and active. Soe ah aed harged polic cers, a ischarg men; all the bankers, shavers, Teigners, contractors ot the ar tors of the government, and eians, of Santa Anna. From these sources we are coustantly apprised that Santa Anna is on the ev eiurning. At one time a meeting is advertised in the city to come off on such a Sunday morning, and now | Santa Anna will surely come. At another time, there is a disturbance in Tampico, and that again is Sania Anna; next, the Indians of the Sierra Gorda | are in arms; this is Santa Ana. Once more we hear that Tabasco is blockaded, or its one echooner (which is ite whole tonnage) is stopped; | and here ta Anna has undoubtedly landed.

A whale at | Coney leland waa a more probable oceurrenc | Mexico, like every other country of extensive territory, has its sectional interests, feelings, and passions; and these exhibit themeelves in ditlereat sorms. ‘Thus it is true the meetings in the eity of Mexico are Santa Anna movements; but the In- dians of Sierra Gorda, who are in army, are so igrorant thet they never heard name, and fighting for their property and their righte against the whites, who have goaded them to madarss by thes rapacity and oppression.

We do not blame them from withdrawing their capital from these institutions, or for their efforts to fill the vacuum by drawing capital from us; asthe world goes it is per- feetly correct, and if we are drawn into the trap, the folly is all our own. ‘As regards the safety of these foreign eompantes there is another objeetion, which reste upon the oth: contirgency to which we have alluded. The statute law of England says, “ As the policy of insurance does not contain etipulations obligatory upon the assured, it may be effected in faver of any person, even though an infant or married woman, and being property of a per- sonal nature, an alien may sue for and recover the amount in the English courts, even though a resident | abroad, so long as the State to which he belongs is not actually at war with this country.” appropos for the hot sammer weather, will be pre- | We per- | itzhugh was very much injured, but it is | | cur own resources, which has rerulted in Increasing | It appears by this, that, {n the event of war ensuing, | the efforts to finish the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, | the claims of citizens of the country engaged in that | and the Chesapeake and Ohlo Canal, to the great coal | war, upon the insurance companies of England, are shat | basin lying on the Potomac river near Cumberland. | out or repudiated ; #0 that an American oitixen, after | Aw the completion of these two great and important | paying premiums for 20, 30 or 60 years, and accumniat, | works this fall is no longer @ matter of doubt, the want | ing a fund for the support of his tamily, may suddenly | of a supply of coal will coase to be a bar to the extend: | find it placed beyond his reach, and in offvot confiscat, | ed use of steam on the ccean; for the question isnot as ed, It may be said that the reputation and honorable | tothe fitness of the Cumberland cowl for generating | standing of these companies ate a sufficient guaranty | steam—that having been fully tested in the Liverpool, | for the fulfilment of their engagements, ‘This is a poor the California, and the Chagres lines of steamers- but, | dependence eo far as corporations are concerned, for it | the question bas been, how eau a supply bo obtained of | is proverbial that they have no souls, and we would aa | this peculiar (semé-bituminous) coal? | soon embark property in » leaky ship aa place our fands ‘A seanty supply of this coal bas hitherto boon bad | with @ company which could not be reached through from the mines of the Maryland Mining Company, lying | the eourts of law. in the northern part of the great Cumberland eoal basin, and brought to Baltimore by railroad.
