Jn order to lay before the readers of the Hexarp a com- chensive idea of the important events which have anspired here since the date of my last letter (on the ), 1 will give youan exact diary for the past eight ays, prefacing this with the announcement of the fact t we have had an entire and complete downfall of the loaga administration, On the 21st inst. , in the morning, this capital was thrown ito a lively state of excitement by the knowledge of the t that on the previous evening, at the village of Ayutla, few leagues from this on the Vera Cruz road, General liguel Maria de Echeagaray had pronounced against the vernment, and modestly declared himself President of @ republic. As this plan is interesting and in part thful, although visionary as all Mexican declarations, I Ll here give it to you entire:— PLAN OF AYUTLA. For more than shisha haya years Our unfortuiate re- bic bas been furnishing to the civilized world sud ex- ples of the most shameful immorality , plunged ag |} bas en into conte rribie consequences and saddest of damages which must porne from @ {ratric dal war that is carried on with guch jamevtable desperation by the political factions, and these It will be impogsibie to prevent so long as intolerance aud Xclusivencss exist. At uo me, as at the present, havo been so arowed—never were reproduced equally exapzerated in their principles and bloodthirstiness the her with sutlizient vot rush into continual trifes with equal impotence, leaving not a ray of hope for ny other end than a horrible and lamentable avarchy, n atrocions.and shameful vandalism, a brief agony, and terwards @ tyrannic forcigu dowinion disguised beneath treacherous semblance of intervention xud protection. From one end of the repubiic to the other a great anxi- ty for peace existe; the people, inspired with the fear ‘4 Wtal destraction of their interests, demand it; but all now this cannot be accomplished by proclaiming the sumpb of one of the exclusive parties now contending; for such triumph supposes the proscription of the van- uished faction, and would therefore be ephemeral and of very short duration. In fact, it is impossible to establish government that raust commence by avsassinating, ban- lishing und yo td | ‘ove-half of those who are Mexicans. we bation abhiors licentior bat properly loves just jaud moderate liberty; it det.s's tyranny, under whatever form it may be exercised; but it never can havo faith m weak government, that is deticient of action and energy. Since the time that circumstances placed me at the bead of the forces which compose the Eastern civision, I have followed, step by step, the course of the revolution; jand have studied, with the interest of a man who has con- recrated himself eo, sent firm and intimate porguasion, that the republic feandot be redial? pacified until regulated by a govern- ment intluenced by honorable men of all parties, and ‘which shall secure socia) guarantees tothe inhabitants of the republic—natives as weli as foreigners—no matter to ‘what party they may bave belonged. It is cow a year since the exaggerated and dangerou: geverument which then guided the destinies of th: fcouniry instantaneously disappeared, and in the time which has elapsed until now, it has not been possiole to establish or orgauize anything. On all sides bave been seen tho smouldering heaps of repeated incendiarisms; every town has suffered from vandalic depredations, and ineignificant persons, without antecedents or political Opinions, have beaded bands of outlaws, and have invaded estates, destroyed crops, ruined commerce and disorgan- ized society. The vational treasury, always exhausted, has fallen into a disgraceful beggary, without the capacity to fur- nish the supplies necessary to cover the expenses of ad- ministration; and at times, when small sums have been obtained by making contracts at usurious rates, the sacri- fice has augmented the misery, and, one after ihe other, speculators have enriched themselves. ‘The spectacle presented by the army is not more flat- tering; for, with the rough battling of parties the govern- ment has been unable to present sufficient forces to im- pede the devastations of the banditti. The lives of citi- zens are in danger and their properties exposed; the com- mands of the government are not obeyed, nor does there exist that centre of unity in which public administration consist The national good senee has already condemned with a general reproof the disastrous exaggerations of the two stupid theories which it has been tried to engraft upon the country—forgetting on one hand the situation and uliar character of Mexico, and on the other that we jive in the last half of the nineteenth century. The popu- lar sense, which is rarely in the wrong, has equally re- Late the constitution of 1857, with its principles of dis- ‘ted pr }, aud the fundamental principles of the gov- erninent of Mexico, unsustainable on account of retrograde ideas, distasteful to the civilization of tho age and to those ‘nterests created in the country by the governments which have preceded us ‘The libertinage is hated which now tries to screen itself beneath an ultra constitution, democratic as a servile re- troceesion, which tries to embellish itself with those three ‘venerated names that the national gratitude blesses in conjunction with the year 1821. Excesses of liberty, as also of tism, are equally detested, and the only fruit which been gathered from the calamities of the past yoar has been the crea- tion of a public enthusiasm which curses all extreme pre- tensions, and desires the enjoyment ofa just and pru- demt liberty, secured by the encrgetic action of a moderate party government. Guided by these inspirations, and resolved abovo all to fave the nationality at the risk of losing, if civil was con- tinue, I have decided to Fabre mee the present Plan, for ‘the prosperous result of which I count upon the decision and valor of the division under my command, and in the patriotism of sensible and honest ‘icans of all parties, that they will not delay in arraying themselves under a banner of conciliation and peace, unfurled by me, with ‘the upright intention of putting a period to our diasen- sions, inviting all the intelligent and distinguished of the country to participate in the government, without distinc- tion of political color. Itis high time that hatred should cease; for united, sincerely and fraternally, Mexicans may yet give to our unfortunate country a day of satisfaction and glory. As my obj not to gratify gplrations, ‘but to cure ‘the grave disorders which afflict tho republic, [abstain from high sounding promises, and I wish that for once a course of acts may be entered upon; for hope has been disappointed often enough with promises to iinprove the ‘condition of the country, from which bas sprang a right te doubt everything, and believe in nothing but acts.

General Headquarters in AruTLA, Deo. 20, 1868. ‘This modest and patriotic Plan was sont into this city on ‘the 2ist, and on the same day, a little later, a demand came from the gentleman who had no “aspirations,” but who had declared himsolf, in fact, dictator, that Ziloagat ‘would at once vacate the palace and mako way for the Hero of Ayutla. The palace doors wore closed and everybody was ‘on the qui vive for the commencement of hostilities. Echea- garay was reported on the road, and Zaloaga’s head man, Gen, Pena, the Hero of Huitcheloque, was dashing about the strects with a band of cavalry, looking out for the enemy, The day was very cold for Moxico, and the strocy j the rate coming day. One thin crowd were completely thrown overboard, and that by their Gwn loyal troops. genetaliy are disposed to enjoy themselves and lay tl _ Pd ee corners of St, Petersburg could scarcely have furnished Detter specimens of shivering humanity than were to be found under the portales; but the expectation of a row kept the politicians afloat, and the hope of a general pillage brought forth thousands of leperog. The day, how- ever, passed in shivering expectation, and the city was about entering into its nightly round when Zuloaga gained strength enough to sign a decree declaring the city in a State of eiege, and all those traitors who had anything to do with the traitor of Ayutla, He also had an address to his valiant eoldiers prepared, but neithor this nor the de- cree came out before the following morning. ‘Wepnespay, Deo, 22. Turing the forenoon of the 22d curiosity was at a bigh pitch to know what had become of the man of Ayutla. We had all gone to sleep with the expectation of waking up to the roar of cannon. But now in the morning every- thing was quiet, and Echeagaray and his accomplices in this city were believed to be precious cowards. The laugh ‘was againet them, although Lis co-workers here were well known to be men of uncommon long purses. In the afver- boon it was known tbat Ee ‘ay had taken up his ling of march from Ayutla, and bad actually reached Rio Frio. This was a sepsiblo faliing off from the previous day, aud many Were repeating the words of Madam Zuloaga, that her nd had been made President by God, and God alone could depose him, Muchas sensible people might question the bestowal of divine favors upon such a man, still there were enough to bet on his sustaining himself. On the 22d we learned that Puebla had gone for Evhoaga- roy. But, notwithstanding this, the government put outa bulletin deciaring El y and his accomplices traitors of the darkest stamp. ngs stood in thie position when the city turned over for another night’s reat. ‘TuuRapay, Deo. 23, Early on the morning of the 23d the cat that had been caged at Ayutia on the afternoon of the 20th was let out of the bag. The church of San Augustin and tho cuartel ad- joining, held by the troops of Gual, an A 1 churchman, pronounced for Robles, and the Acordada soon follow fuit. At once the city was thrown into the liveliest con- fusion. The ever watchful Chief of Police went to the San Augustin to bring things to order, but was told to goabout his business, which he did in the most courageous and prudent mavner. He then visited the Acordade, whore he was taken prisoner, and pnt in with a lot of scoundiels put there by himself. The received the ex-Chiet of Police with rather loud and roug) French applause. General Robles y Pezvela was not of course taken by surprise by thia movement, and was not long in finding himself in saddle, and with the brave boys who had been tint £0 well to shoot for him. In avery heroic manner he visited the two points where he was 80 much adwired, They shouted for him, of course, and against Zuloava, &. Commercial houses, which have done nothing for the past year, were closed, and a great many sanguine, her- vons pertons believed blood would goon Commence to flow. They were only mistaken in the element. Instead of blood, money did the work. By 314 P. M. the citadel Pronounced, with a rat{ly of dollars that was drowned by ig TALC Of Crue And the sound of horns. The farce Coittiued until dark, and until long after, to the great disgust of the leperos, who have no kind of appreciation for a revolution that winds up without a sack, Farly in the evening it was known that Zaloaga had left the palace, but whether as his wife predicted is not known. He bad received an ‘ptimation that if he did not leave before an early hour he would be made a prisoner. ‘This, I euepect, did the job for him. The entire garrison ‘was against bim, and there was no alternative, Tt must be said in favor of Robles that his first work ‘wae to let Jooge all those who had been suifering in dirty dungeons for months on account of their political color. ‘The 28d closed without a gunshot, and without any de- monetration or Plan of what we had to expect in the was fixed: Zuloaga and his Fumay, December 24, On the 24th the papers announced, in & very suspicious and doubtful manner, tho events of the previons day. A ehect, apparently official, came out with the articles of Echeagary’s Plan, and stated that the movement for Robles bad been ’the sccouding of that Plan, and con- gratulated the citizens of this “ hermosa capital” upon the bappy termination of th expression of the public sen- liment of the republic. About 12 M., the same day, the Plan of Robles was distributed. {Published in our yester- day's edition. Ep, HERALD.) ‘The Governor of the district, Sr. Azcarato, having recognized the Plan of Robles, remains in his position and has supreme command, nominally, of political affairs, On the 24th the state of siege was declared raised, and hacks flew about, and pedestrians did as they pleased in the streets until late hours. ‘The Chief of Police, Lagarde, who had been arrested on the morning of the 23d, was let loose, and put at the head of the police again, General Rosas Lauda was declared second in the mili- tary command of this city.

On Christmas morning we received the news that Gene- ral Echeagaray, President of the republic of Mexico under the Plan of Ayutla, had been seized at Puebla and shot, on the day previous, The report naturally created a lively sensation amongst the politicians. It however was denied in part. His arrest was acknowledged by all persons in a position to know. The circumstance, in either form, was a blow to the Robles party. His arrest even would show that Puebla, at least, had suspicions unfavorable to the new movement. The same day appeared two addresses from General Robles—one to the garrison and the other to the citizens. On the afternoon of the 25th news reached this city that Toluca had pronounced for the Robles movement. ‘This Pronunciamiento came in the usual form: ‘consider- ing,” &c. The greatest consideration for the garrison of Toluca appears to baye been the absolute necessity of pronouncing for the movement here, as no other pay- master was visible. Christmas ended without any riots in this city. Sunpay, Deo. 26. This day commenced by a salvo for the good news re- ceived from Puebla, General Echcagaray was not shot, but set free, and the garrison of that place had for the Robles Plan. I may hero state that on the 2ist Puebla pronounced for the Plan of Ayutla. On the 24th the garrison arrested and were going to shoot the man they had declared President of the Republic. On the 26th they had again changed their sentiments, and declared their prisoner the “illustrious,” and with this compliment cut him short in his presidential career, and adopted a Plan that has for its object the clevation of Ro- Dies to the dictatorshi This is a fair specimen of the ‘patriotism, inte! eneren honesty” that are now called upon to form the of Mexico. Who can Sey, well for the com} n pacts of such men? garrison of Puebla requested that, in the Junta to be called for the nomination of a President, or rather ‘‘a person in whom the supreme power shall be deposited” — which is more like Dictator than President—General Mira- mon should have @ voice. To this request General Robles has replied that nothing would afford him greater plea- sure, 6 election of the “supreme power” man must therefore be delayed, and this delay is a deliberate viola- tion of the Plan of Ayutla as reformed, or rather planned over, in the cuartel of San Augustin on the 23d. next thing we may cxpect is that Alvarez will ask for a voico in the Junta, and so on, until all the military chiefs in the country are heard. Robles, having granted this request for Miramon, must do the game for all the other chiefs, or elge he must show partiality that will inevitably make many enemics for him; and if he tries to conciliate all parties by giving them a voice in the Junta, what a ee able meeting there will be, to be sure! What a collection of patriotism, intelligence and honesty! is afternoon public opinion wavers, much regarding the probabilitics for the success of the Robles scheme. We Bove news of important advances made by the fede- ralists in the States of Vera Cruz and Puebla, The news from Miramon is not sati 'y, and the pintos are re- ported to be making important strides for this valley. It is said that already Vera Cruz has been heard from, and that the “heroic city”’ refuses to go for anything but the constitution of 1867. The clergy are known to be conspiring i st Robles, and he is believed to be much confused. lo has not yot called to his aid or counsel a single reliable puro. Robies, so far, is but commander-in-clief of tho nd not President or Dictator. The iron is already ,, and if he do not strike soon ho is surely lost. city remains too much absorbed with the festivi- ties of the season to be moved on account of politics. Monpay, Dec. 27. To-day we have had much talk in the streets of con- spiracies already on foot to put down Robles. The slorgy are displeased with him; the liberals are disgusted w' him, and the question is rife, ‘Who are his friends?” He bas, however, strong friend: they appear determined to see him thron to the Presidential chair if possible. The Commissioners from Puebla should arrive here this evening, and then the Junta will at once ‘be formed for the election of a President. Liberals who have been named to the Junta say they will not attend, as the thing will be a farce. ‘The city is Veep rs quiet. No disturbances of any kind have taken place since the 23d, and people begin to say they are better off without a government. To day commissioners left here for Vora Cruz, to try to wheedle Juarez into the new government, if possible. Turspay, Dec. 28. Late Jast night we received positive advices that the commissioners from Puebla, on their way to this capital to elect the President that is to be, were yesterday seized :| on the road, and they, with the two diligences they were in, were driven off to ‘Tiascala, under escort of a party of federalists. It is said that Echeagaray, the President o Ayutla, was of the number. If so, he is pretty sure to be dead by this time, for the liberals of the Stato of Puebla bave a great hatred for him. ‘It was reported this morning, from here yesterday morning bad ~s aleo captured on 10 sent These seizures have been made at the instigation of Alatriate.

This eeizuro is a most laughable affair, and is, perhaps, the best illustration of what I have already said to you, time after time, that peace agd order aro things lost to Mexico forever—or until we get forei intervention, i the federal President, had to receive com- missioners from this city and confor with them, commissioners are sent, and on the road are arrested carried off by one of the chieftains of tho fedoral party!

As I can only give you the first hours of to-day, I shall have to wait until another date to enlighten you on this subject. INCIDENTS OF THE REVOLUTION, ‘The number of B seyres prisoners set at liberty by Pobles is not less them Gen. Traconis, who bas been in prison for about two years. The number of generals who the Plan of Robles on the day it was proclaimed is forty-two—a legion of themselves. You may therefore understand the char- acter of the military chieftains of Mexico when you bear, ina few days, of © generals — another Plan in opposition to Robles. You way be able to form some notion of the quantity of generals in the country when forty-two are found in this place, that hasa garrison at present of pot more than 1,500 strong. The day on which Eoisouey. Pronounced for himself at Ayutla, the government seized one of our large capital- ists, who was suspected of having bad something to do with this movement, This gent protested his inno- cence, but, nevertheless, was forced to give $3,000 before he could get out of the Palace, ‘Zuloaga, who has been as tyrannical to fore! ip his power and especially to Englishmen and Americans, now finds an asylum under the British flag. Is this no’ too bad? A man who received, after he was in tho Presi- dential chair, a portion of the purchase money for his treason to Comopfort—a man who has taken a Rpécial de- light in persecuting the Anglo-Saxon race in Mexico, finds refuge under the English fag! His just fato would’ be to rot on a dung hill. But we are very degenerate in these days. Contrary to expectations, Robles has not declared the liberty the press, but,on the contrary, has giveu orders to observe the gag law of Lares. This’ is ‘ mode- ration”? for you. Since the revolution, we have been able to go to Tacu- baya until 8 P. M. on the cars. Under the Zul govern- ment the cars were prohibited from running after 54 P. M. This is one act of moderation, and a great accommo- dosien to those business men whose families reside in Ta- cubaya.

Guadalajara yet remains a point of great interest. Miramon still remained in the city at last advices, and Degollado was outside, besieging; but the siege was ‘pro- grersing slowly, and almost as bloodlessly as Echeagaray’s siege of this city. From what reliable advices [can got hold of, Miramon’s reserve, under the command of General Marquez, was Pretiy well cut up and dispersed, Miramon will, therefore, be forced to fight the forces of Degollado alone. I consider his chances still good in that quarter, and if he should win, he will doubtless forthwith lay claims to the P; Lrg The Forsyth silver business has been dropped in theee days. From what facts I can obtain, there exists no doubt a person in Mr. Forsyth’s confidence who denounced. the business to the government. The message of Mr, Buchanan created a great deal of gotsip here, and has been the theme of no end of inflam- matory articles against the United States. ‘The proposi- tion of Mr. Buchanan to lay hold of Sonora and Chiluahua is denounced as the veriest robbery. One paper says:— “The Yankees had better behold themselves in the mirror of Crabb’s grave before they attempt to violate the sacred soi) of Mexico,” The movements of marauding banda of the two great Partic® of the country have been lost sight of in the new Tevolution, ‘These bands are known to be roving about 4S ever, without any other purpose than to plunder the country, and this they are doing and will continue to do. Mojia, @ great conservative in his way, is now raising a clergy force to oppose the ‘‘moderado”’ movement. The last mail for the United States, of the 20th, was robbed on its way to Vera Cruz. A part of the correspon- dence, I know, escaped, and I hope my letter to you was with that portion. , The following items of news are given by one of our city papers :-— Jn Michoacan, at the beginning of the present month, Pueblita und Huerta were much embarrassed from the want of money. D. Juan José Baz and D, Pascal Mi- randa remained in Morelia up to the 8th. Pinzon, before raarching towards Guadalajara, imposed considerable loans on Zamora. ‘The garrison of Morelia, in all, and including the men of Pueblita, amounted oniy to 600 men, Lerdo de Tejada had left Morelia for Guadalajara. It seems that it was inten¢ed to establish in this second capital a new constitutional government, Lerdo placing himeelf at its head as President of the Supreme Court of pinned and working without regard te Juarez and his cabinet. The priests have almost entirely left Morelia, in oonse- quence of the measures dictated by Huerta. Mexico, Jan. 1, 1859. Friendly Feeling Towards the Triumvirate—Disastroue De- feat of Degoilado, de., de. The exprese closes this morning at 734, and I dare say there will be no later news than I can now give you. ‘Tho electoral jutita did nothing yesterday Tor wautor a quorum—the members being engaged with their polite calls of the season. The triumvirate gains friends, and most likely will be agreed upon. News reached this last night, by telegraph from Quere- taro, that Degollado has been completely destroyed by Miramon—losing all of his artillery and many men taken prisoners. The telegraph conveys the hope to the govern- ment that not one of Degoliado’s men would be able to escape. This is terrible news if true, but no one is so in sane bere as to believe it truc. Miramon has, no doubt, defeated Degoliado, for the latter is no great affair for a soldier. But the capture of artillery and prisoners must go into quarantine for afew days until the full official re- port comes to band. The truth will prove, I am sure, that no great battle has taken place, but that Miramon has caught Degollado napping somewhore on his road and waked bim ina hurry, and he in a hurry has gone off and left ome of his camp trappings. ‘You will see by a despatch I enclose that Robles calis the liberals banditti. That does not look much like the voice of a moderate man. He is correct, however. They are all bandits, and if Mr. Robles escapes without a just title to the character, Iam very much mistaken. He had done much better to have remained in Washington. General Robles’ Address to the Nation. ‘anslated from the ofilcial Gazette of Mexico, Dec. 25.] ‘BL Ropies Pezveta, General-in Chief of the Division ‘of the Capital, to the Mexicans:— Friuow zxN8—Invited by the garrison of this capital to place myeelf at their head, to the end of carrying out in all its parts the plan of social regeneration which it pro- claimed yesterday,I have accepted such an honorable charge, for as citizen and as soldier I deemed it to be my duty to promptly answer to the call addressed to me in the name of the dearest interests of the country and society. It is more than a year since the political parties of our unfortunate country, carrying the discussion of their re- spective claims to the field of » have likewise brought with them ruin and desolation everywhere, con- vertipg into political passion the argument of social rights. TLiberty and reform being invoked on the one hand, and order and guarantees on the other, the revolution has caused the most atrocious despotism to lay its iron hand on the whole country, disor- der to be enthroned in the whole extent of it, and the sacred Tight of property to be absolutely destroy: ed. With such elements society is unable to exist for a long time, and to the abyss in which it was being - cipitated it would have dragged headlong, as it was al- ready doing, the Mexican nationality, in consequence of the complication in which all our international questions have placed themeelves. Under such critical circumstances reason advises us to hear the voice of the nation and to learn which is her sovereign will, for the voice of the na- tion is not the passionate cry of the fighting b partians nor is her sovereign will, as is pretended, that of the political party which o triumph in the bloody battlo flelds. ‘The Plan imed yesterday in this capital raises a banner, Ihave taken it into my hands because it is the banner of ess and order, and the truly national one.

Only a disorganized mind could conceive such a thought, The fanatic and perverted clergy, and the cowardly and demoralized army, are those who maintain the war kin- died against the mass nation, which abominates them as the authors of all their ills; they bave begun to see that after they have exbansted many Tmcasures they have had in their following, by infamics which might have been to triumph, their hour basarrived, and that the period is near in which their evil deeds shall receive deserved chas- tisement. For this reagon it is that they fly—for this it is that they treat to bring the partisans to a fusion, sacri- ficing in appearance some of their necessities, that in this way they might not lose all, as undoubtedly they will. Moreover, the clerical fn Ay tht to be convinced that vain, g ite machinations must the men in whose hands the public destinies repose know them too well. ‘The present war is alt er different from those which until to-day have divided the conntry. In it the people, armed, shielded with the constitution which was given by their legitimate representatives, fight against their op- pressore—nagainst those who have sought to maintain them in_ ignorance so as to make aprey of them. Let us bave no compromises—nothing of con- venticles, nor of shameful negotiations, because rinciples triumph, and the people shall seo in the end that they cannot be deceived, as until the present time, with vain promises, to shed their blood for the benefit of their tyrants. Good, very good and convenient, will be the constitution of 1824, but it is not that which bas been given to the nation; and the federal army, to proclaim it, would lose its legitimacy, which is that which gives it sirength, and it would pass to take the revolutionary character, perishing in the soil which it punishes, Fach day new triumphs hasten the establishment of con- stitutional order, covering with glory the army of the people, who see flying before them the paid army of the reaction. To be treacherous to it would be to commit a defection a thousand times more infamous than that of Comonfort, and this the reactionists of Senor Degollado ovght not to expect. The Naval Congress at Vera Cruz—What is its Object t {Translated from El Progreso of Vera Cruz, Dec. 25, for the New York Herat, There is no doubt that if there has been no common accord or convocation of a naval congress, so to say, within the waters of Mexico and in our sight, the coinci- dence is wonderful that there are to-day assembled in the roadstead of Sacrificios fourteen vessels of war. There are, in fact, #'x Freach, four Spanish, three English and one American vessel there. ‘hat is the object of this unexpected yisit of several of those flags, though, with regard to othiers, it is not unforseen, and his been before- hand announced? That is what we are unable to explain. Is each of the Powers to which they belong to have a separate matter to scttle with Mexico, and did they, nevertheless, chooze the same occasion—a fine oppor: tunity, when the nation, it may be eaid, rises in mass to fight against a usurping and rebellious government, which pretends to rule the people with the hood of the friar and the eabre of the foment 4 Is the reunion to have for its object the establishment of a concourse of creditors, in which, however, there is no ac- cord amonget the claimants, and each one is pulling to- ward bis side, in order to render the sitnation of the debtor woree, and to bring him to bankruptey ? Has everyone of those nations reclamations to proffer, grievances fo avenge, satisfaction to ask for illegal acts— acts whereby the honor and dignity of their respective nations secm to be wounded? These and other questions aro asked and repeated by all thove who are ‘by the presence and thi mae Saver we saat “anldes vemele exhibit so fine a spectacle in our to va In the eyes of these nations tee geweomenentn in Mexico—the government that emanated from a military ineurrection, in which the very same rebels constituted themselves as authority, pretending to destroy, by a sin- ge blow, whatever exists and which is recognized yy the representatives of these same forcign Powers; and the government inetituted by the fundamental constitution: pie ha? jeg ght 7 nation, the ghee ment which reposes on legality, the government whi has the support of untversal suffrage. To which of these two governments will they address their reclamation? With which will they come to an understanding? This would be a question easy to be answered, were wo not #0 much involved in darkness and in porplexity, and did it not appear to us impossible that in the middle of the nineteenth century the most efvilized and powerful nations of Europe should make common cause against Mexico. But we have mentioned the fact of the arrival of these squadrons, and it might appear in us as a good deal of in- dolence, and at the same time we would give credit to the opinion that we were very indiscreet to occupy ourselves with this fact, without at least attempting, were it but a conjectural explanation or an adventurous supposition. The prees of Mexico, as well as that abroad, not excepting that of the United States, exaggerated even the most insignificant facts, painted our situation with the darkest colors, without reflecting for a moment that a whole people which rises against a that pretends to destroy their liberty, their rights, their guarantees—a — which fight for the principle of order and legality ‘against an unbridled soldiery—finally, a 9 wi desires to throw off the yoke of the horrible fanaticism and insulting of the ufijustl classes, cannot Buvlomer those poh f is on Europe has pre- sented, to the shame of humanity, but which afterwards resulted for her benefit. This situation, these unavoidable disorders, when the of discussion is not that of the powerful tribune, or that of an enlightened rers—this distracted situation, described by some of the Rorei m representatives with highly impassioned traitse— ig! inexact, if not false—to their respective governments, has awakened in latter the sonti- ment, aroused their pride, and provoked to action the epirit of mnationalty for the protec- tion and aid of their subjects in this unfortunate country, £0 distinguished for its hospitality, so grateful to those who come hither to facilitate and to spread the elements of industry, learning and labor, and so forbearing at the fame time when eeeing that not a few, after having been highly rewarded for their laborious efforts, directly and indirectly oppose the devel t of the principles with- out which it is not possible that a democratic independent republic may maintain herself and prosper; and yet nothing is easier to prove than the existence in Mexico of numerous foreigners who on all occasions have joined the stubborn party that opposes the destiny of this o1 pressed nation; who haye made common cause with the most despotic dictators, including the most pernicious to the country. Be thatas it may, we wish to be ded that ‘the ostentation of this combined naval force has no other object but that indicated by us, and for thus con- jecturing we have some data furnished by ono ‘of the representatives of the nation, which, with the greatest noise, has made her warlike ions. Tn fact, the Minister of Spain residing in the United States, in his conferences with the Minister of Foreign Relations of the Cabinet at Washington, has declared that the object of sending these naval forces was po ether than that of protecting the life and interests of ish subjects im- perilied ty civil war. This explanation on the part of the Power which seems to have given the most threaten- ing appearance to her demonstrations, causes us to bolieve that the other Powers will likewise have shaped their conduct according to this principie. We may be wrong in this supposition, but in honor of the very governments which are represented by the flags hoisted on board those vessels, we believe that there does not exist another hon- orable notive to which may be attributed the simulta- neous appearance of the squadrons lying at anchor in Sacrificios. If our conjecture prove to be well founded, this issue will be highly gratifying to us, since on the fet of the su) 0 constitutional government and its legitimate authorities nothing has taken place which may alarm the care of those forcign governments, nothing which may irritate their susceptibility with re- gard to the interest and perrons of their subjects; and when sometimes ing has happened contrary to such ‘an established conduct it has been conveniently atoned for. If their plans be different—it there be a combination in thoee naval forces, If it be a prelude of a direct or material intervention in the affairs of this country—if, finally, these Powers be disposed to display their forces under such critical circumstances, then not the 9 and eo crowned bends, net the Be world, ‘will anes ya ‘the wor! wi on wi side is honor or blame.

One hundred and thirty-four persons have been sacrificed by theee barbarians in the district of Lotuta, ater the horrible butoherien of Tekax, Bacalar, and other villages.

The foregoing advices do not appear to us to be very exuct, because, according to the statement of the Com- mander-in-Chief of the division commissioned to pursue the barbarians in the district of Sowuto, in Tabchioichen, the firet village which he entered, under the date of the of the same month, the enemy sacrificed twenty-one persons, of both sexes, and thence passed, with incredible feed to Tixcacal, where they also sacrificed fifteen vic- time, borides burning two houses in the first village, and ibe Tastioe et i Peace @ Jus of the Of Tiholop also transmit to the government of Yucatan, rath 234, the ton Jowing:—‘On the 19th this Villa, was invaded by the rebellious Indians, wbo sacrificed in it firty-tour reone, of all sexcs and ages, whom I commande to be interred, not including in this number the iuhabitants of the ravens Kakul and Sisbic, vin, shared the same fate; one Persona sacrificed being the Assistant Justice Of thePeace of this village.” ” In view of these bloody scenes, and desirous of giving eater impulse to the war against the barbariaus, the Jovernor and General-in-Chief of the of the State had decreed that all persons from eighteen to fl ty years were obliged to take part in the campaign.

I was much amused at the following circumstance, which occurred on the afternoon of the 3d instant, on which day the Black Warrior arrived from New York:— Taking my accustomed stroll on one of the public pro- menades of this city, I came up with a little group, all Spaniards but one, a creole, who was engaged in render- ing into Spanish, for the edification of the others, who were attentive listeners, the editorial article in the univer- sal Hxrarp of the 27th ultimo, headed “ The Purchase of Cuba—Mr, Branch’s Bill—The Peace Policy of the Presi- dent.” No sooner had the creole concluded his translation of your article than a Spaniard, rampant with loyalty, whom T noticed was sorely chafed during the time the creole was continuing his translation, exclaimed,in an angry tone of voice, and with a most violent gesticulation, “‘Caramba! Was the government of her Majesty, or was the Captain General, to consent to such a thing, I would act my proporty on fire, and that of my friends, and wo would all then return fo Spain.” To this violent exclamation the creole, with a quiet, sar- castic smile upon his counteuance, replied:— That would be doing just what we Cubans desire—to get rid of ail you Spaniards and have the island clear of your works, that we may have the pleasure of rebuilding everything to suit our tastes.” The slave trade continues to thrive as usual. The brig Ellen recently landed a cargo of about nine hundred Afri- cans, of whom only fifty-five were captured on board one of Murty’s fishing smacks. The vessel was abandoned aground in the Canal de los Burcos, where three dead bodies of her slave cargo were tound, anu four or five pay of them were saved, but the rest reached the plan- ns. Another cargo of Africans, upwards of a thousand in number, has been recently safely landed in the district of San Juan de los Remedios, to re of the sugar growers and enrichment of the siavers ir associates, ‘Mr. Crawford, British Consui General here, must feel quite ugly about’ such goings on, Probably the feelings of the Spanish authorities have been consoled for such formidable breaches of the treaty with England. On Monday last, the 2d inst.; the Real Audiencia Pre- torial was opened With all the accustomed ceremony—I had almost written ‘‘bumbug.”? His Excellency the Uap- General was present, and, after his Exceliency had tired, the most exccilent and most illustrious Senor Regente (Chief Justice Don Francisco Gonzales de Corral) delivered a discourse to the assembled judges, a report of which occupies four columns of the Gaceta, and is there- fore too lengthy for me to attempt a transiation of. The discourse, however, commences in a strain of great humility as to the want of the requisite knowledge, whicl he (the ‘Senor Regente) feels most acutely—at least suca TRY Ve Terr ow true tote wreeniny Alain ie: cemaaaitng he 9 lerate dose of flattery to the worthy General who go- verns and directs the Island’s destmy, and causes 80 much astonishment to all nations; then we havo come trite and common place observations, after which a para- ph which I must translate:— “Tt cannot be supposed that in the few days I have held this office it has been possible for me to furm an exact opinion of the evils that afflict this territory—of its vices and defects, of the governing inclinations of its people, and of the degrees of its morality, 1a this acoount, however, I will not ignore that there docs exist very natural de- sire to have the administration of justice good and virtu- ous, because that is the first necessity of all countries— @ necessary nutriment of its life, and the soul of all tnose great and daring thoughts which make a change ina moment in the dcstiny of nations, drawing them from the abjection in whicn they live, in order to elevate them to the position they should always have occupied.” I must ‘beg to be excused for not continuing the translation of the remainder of the paragraph, which consists of certain hilosophical remarks ‘0 prove that “A righteous and good administration of justice is in all couutries of tho World the base of all that is great, of all that is good, and even of all that is marvellous.” But do you not think the admission in the earlier part of the transiated paragraph, which speaks of “ evils that af- flict this country,” is a marveilous admission to come from the mouth of a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of this island? But the Senor Regeute appears to think that ‘a pure administration of justice will prove a remedy for those very evils. When he has dwelt as many years in Cuba as bas your correspondent he will, if he desires, have learned is fallacious.

I have in previous Years described to you the disgusting doings of the negroes on that day; so I need not again repeat them. There were the usual drum- ming and dancing in the streets by negroes most brutally attired, One figure that I saw on the 6th, I must describe, it being a burlesque of the hateful fashion that prevails among the ladies of wearing hoops. It was a tall negro, the mod portion of whose person was clad in fe- malo attire; his skirts were composed of undressed sheep- skins, the wool outside, and these were monstrously extentied, with bona fide hogshead hoops. Surely, if any of our ercole ladies saw the fetlow they will bo induced to return to that more modest style of worn by their mothers “long time ago.’ There was, as usual, a ‘‘besa- mono’? (levee) at the palace at noon, at which were pre- rent all our “upper ten thousand.” There were also in attendance a much larger number of naval officers than I had noticed on any previous similar occasion. ‘There has been very little doing thus far this week in the sugar market.

There has rarely been such unanimity in the French press as has been excited by the message of Mr. Bu- cbsnan. One and all join in a g>neral chorus of condem- nation, and the President of the United States is at present the best abused man on this side the Atlantic—absence of ail morality, impossible schemes of ambition, egregious egotism, turgidity of language, duplicity, overweening strife after popularity, high-flown democracy, brutal im- pudence to the Queen of Spain, immeasurable arrogance throughout, claims put forth without ground, swelled and envenomed at pleasure—are only an induitessimal portion of the gentle epithets applied to him. The Union, how- ever, condescends to approve in the following terms of that part of the message which affects England:— Only listen to the tone in which President Buchanan speaks to Great Britain! Weigh those words, which are firm and sult more remarkable for the affected modera- tion with which their’ real meaning is covered.

The Patrie, which is only the ditto of the Constitutionnel 5 in semi-official authority especially, seizes the opportunity of firing « broadside into the message touching the Mon- roe doctrine appropriated by Mr. Buchanan in common with Mr. Polk. After entering into an elaborate history of the rise and progress of that doctrine, which slid in first, it says, in obscure terms, when Spain might have been expected to interfere for the recovery of her American colonies, and then was appealed to by Mr. Polk, lest Mexi- co should apply to Europe for assistance against the seizure of Texas, it is now claimed by Mr Buchanan to have all the force of national law. The Americans say:— Let European nations mind the affairs of and not trouble themselves about those of the New World. The is clear, England and Russia territory than the United States. in bas colonies which excito the cupidity of her neighbors. France has isiands of great importance from their position, and an extensive continen- tal territory. The New World is the market of naif the manufactures of Kurope, and yet the United States, for- sooth, would deny European nations the right of watching over and protecting such interests! If the isthmus of Pa-~ nama is the bigh road from New York to California, is it not destined to be the high road from England to Austra- lia? And does not the future developement of the inter- course which Europe bas just opened with China and Ja- pan depend on the cutting of the isthmus? What would the United States tn A the Mediterranean Powers, under the protest that the United States had no interest what- ever in that part of the work!, should forbid American vessels to pass the Straits of Gibraltar? Such a position would be at least as well founded, and far easier to main- tain by force. A couple of vessels would be enough. It goes on to aek how Mr. Buchanan can presume to think of sending troops to the territory of Nicaragua and New Granada, when such an act would interfere with tha very independence which the Monroe doctrine onght to protect. It adds:— No, the Monroe doctrine is not an international principle. None are less inclined to adhere to it than the United States themselves, and they only put it forward Wo secure impunity in violence and spoliation. To turn to a subject more german to France.
