Affairs in Mexico. GEN, COMONFORT’S ADDRESS TO EX-PRESIDENT CARRERA. ‘We stated in our Mexican news, published yesterday. ‘What Gen. Comonfort had ‘stroased a letter to the then President ad inderim—Gen. Martin Carrera—declining to ‘his invitation to meet the other revolutionary at Dolores. As Comonfort looms up largely in “eonnection with the prize of the Presidency, his acts are ‘Important just now, and therefore we translate the text ‘of the communication referred to. It is as follows:— Your EXckuency—The very great events waich have trken place in the capital of ihe reputiic, after the fight ef Gen, Santa Anna, have complicated our situation in so ext @ manner that they have ted ‘the greatest devotion and the greatest prudence on the tof the Mexicans who have any esteem for their coun- ‘to draw her out of the lamentable condition to which military tyranny has reduced her. ‘But or om that being the case, the undersigned re- ‘Marks, with the deepest grief, that on the occasion of these events private aspirations are given the rein, and that every one, while invoking the sacred names of inde- pendence and of legal order, aspires nevertheless to turn the prot of the individual or of a class, the noblest sacriBees of the Mexican people—a ity course of con- daet, which the interesting history of this epoch, fecund im the strangest somersete, will know how to quality with the name it merits. ‘AN invoke the pian of Ayutla, which isnotoriously, and acknowledged even by those having the greatest interest im opposing it, the only plank of safety left t> us after ‘the terrible storm through which the country has pass- ed; but at the same time that they declare their clinging pleasure to this anchor of safety, they openly tram- ple upon the foundation on which the plan, as a whole, yeposes after the triumph of the principles which it em- Braces, The second article of the plan is so conclusive and 0 easily understood that it is only by closing one’s eyes to the << of reason that it can be misunderstood, as it appears to be by some of those who affirm that they have. seconded it—an evident falsity, for if not so we would not be Leal the numberless inconveniences whieh are presented at this moment—inconveniences which the plan of Ayutla obviates. ‘The plan presupposes triumph, and when it shall have ecurred that tyranny shal} have succumbed in the une- = contest undertaken by it against oppressed patriot- it provides, ina formal manner, that the General- of the forces which will sustain the plan, will assume public power for the purpose of assembling the wational representatives, and that they may choose their ebief magistrate. In this manner anarchy is rendered ‘en all sides impossible. The ques! ught to be raised, without the slightest reason, on the true meaning of t rovision, is completely useless if it be considergd tha General-in-Chief of the forces composing the Tiber Py Fy to whom the above mentioned article alludes, ig his Excellency General Juan Alvarez, whom we all re- eoguize ax well’ on uccount of his seniority and of his rank, as because he has had the inc able glory of having been the first to rive against tyranny. The arti- ele in question being understood in this manner, the most natural of all, a barrier is placed against the evils of anarchy, the principal argu- ment of all those who desire to command. Anarchy is not possible if the plan ot Ayutla be observed, ae I have just manifested; bu’ if we depart from it an in: stant, then no human power can evade anarchy, because after the trimmph attained over the past, (meaning over Santa Anna) there will not bea chief or person in high position who will not deem himself called on to exercise Public power. Fach has his plotters and his partisans and ag the command is not divisible, there must result therefrom a clash of interests which may cause the very dissolution of society. ‘The argument might be resorted to that. the plan of Ayutla does not suppose the eveot of its being adopted by the garrison o/ Mexico, because that being the Inet in- trenehmen? of tyranny, it could not be thought that it would become of its own volition an anxiliary of the eauso invoked in said plan. Iknow not what foundation such a strange idea may have, but in eupposing that the plan of Ayutia contained it implicitly, that did not pro- tect the nation from the inconveniences of utter anarchy —the Principal point to which we all ought to direct our attention—for the persons who have adopted the plan of ayutla by force of circumstances cannot inspire confi- dence and have no exclusive right to arrogate to them- selves the command, while there are so many others who have better or equal titles to exercise it. God knows that Ido not speak either for myself or for the honest republican placed by the hand of Providence in the arid mountains of Guerrero, there to watch over the liberty and the glory of the nation. I say so because already, on different points, movements are rising which visibly tend to give the command of this republic to the persons who are at the head of the army at those places, without, any other title for thus changing the plan of Ayutla then ‘the force of arms and the trivial and worn out pretext of preventing the anarchy which, on the contrary, they fa- vor by these aspirations Even at Mexico, through identical motives, another ban- ner iv raised, the plan is broken through, his E: Mr. Carrera convokes in the village of Dolores the ef the liberty forces, and it is pretended that these chiefs shall nominate the President of the republ @ shall intervene, though in an indirect mode, in the convocation of the legislative corps.

God and live ACIO COMONFORS. bi GrapaLssana, Aug. 28, 1855. ‘The Trait d’Union states that General Carrera received a subsequent communication from General Comonfort, disavowing the government existing in Mexico, and treating as worthless the convocation summoned at Do- lores. The Trait d’Union also gives the political complexion of the various revolutionary leaders, as follows:— Vidaurri demands the extinction of the army, of which the plan of Ayutla proctaims the conservation. Faro y Tamariz supports himseif on the clergy and on the arwy, the two great levers of the despotism over- ‘thrown by the plan of Ayutla. Comonfort wants the application of the plan of Ayutla as modified at Acapulco. la Liave guarantees the properties of the clergy, of which the plan of Ayutla does not say a word. The partisans of the government of Mexico (Carrera’s) pursue the application of the plan of Ayutla as moditied by the garrison, ‘The extreme ponies do not know what they want; but think they are in favor of Vidaurri, desiring the destruc- tion of the army, the maintenance of which is guaranteed dy the plan of Ayutia. The prohibitionists, baving as their o1 the Heraldo and perhaps the Patria, reject the Ceballos tariff, of whieh the plan of Ayutla prociaims the re-establishment. The Monitor newspaper is favorable to the modifica- ‘tons of the plan by Messrs. Comonfort, Haro and Vidaurri; Dut is not in favor of the pian of the garrison of Mexico. ‘The conservatives invoke the plan of Ayutla, but do not want its application. if Mr. Villareal, the real author of the plan, wi with ach pretend Is fo ack, be would be regarded nas whi acl wi regarded asa urlosity and laaghed at. ——$————— ANOTHER ACOIDENT TO A Backing Tratx on ‘THe CAMDEN AND AMHOY RAILROAD.
