Many ‘hopes are now finally disappointed on the one sida, aod ‘many predictions fuifiiied on the other and as far as the direct iesve between the French and the Mexicans—the ‘triumph of one or the otber—is concerned, tbe question de settled; for we need not suppose that the French will meet with greater difculvies now than when opposed by an oO a government and ermy. Their wil) tary uinomph 1 always predicted, because } Rad studied Mexico caretully. The permanency ofanompire on American 01) is another affair, wiih which J bave nothing at present to do, and upon whicl. I have never ventured ap opinion. That it would be tri ‘amphant)y established I always felt convinced; that it ‘wilt endure—who can tell? ‘The Mght of Juarez from San Luis Potosi seals the doom of Mie power and government, more especially when the attending circimstances are considerea. Hav ‘ing resolved on going to Monterey, be sent word to Gov ‘erpos Vidaurri, who returned for answer that be would wecetvé President Juarez private individual, but by 40 meons ns an official persopage; avd further, that be would permit no armed escort to enter Monterey. These Demiliating conditions Juarez was forced to accept, and eccordingsy left Sau Luis during the night of the 17, re more properly, the morping of the 18th ult., and polly abo that the soldiers doing guard duty i were ubaware of bis absence till at an advanced hour of the day following. No of any note agcompanied him, his only attendants being a few domestics. The members of the Cabines bad already preceded him, some going to Zacate as, others to Matamoros, Durango, &c., with the excey tion of Nunez, Secretary of the Treasury, who waiteu, geome say, till the imperialists were alimost m the city of San Luis. Others say he accompavied Juarez. Thus the ‘whole government has tumbled to pieces, without even awaiting the result of Uraga'’s aitempt to re ‘capture Morelia aud then make @ dash on the capital She iast feeble effort of the army the const)- tutional government, It sbows bow very little copfidence Juarez bad in his army and tbe success of his cause. Never had 4 cause, supposed to be national, 80 little vitality; never were promises more hotiow than those modo by its friends. If it did represent natiopal inde ever was the independence of any country ‘more ingloriousiy surrendered, With Pued 4o the French yn and ended, and even that was ‘tedious and insignificant. One thousand and eigbty-reyeu men was the sum totalof the loss inflicted on tbe in ‘vader during that siege, w! with only one third more in Bumbers than the besieged (aitnougb not before a niege of exxty-two days), captured a garrison of tev thoveand men. Since that memorable capitulation on ‘the 18tb of Jost May not a blow had been struck until! ‘Mraga made ove last efort jn his late attempt op Morelia, ‘and which is the next poiut that claims our atiention. From the valley of Santiago, Uraga, Commander: ic- hief of the Mexican constitutional army, moved qwetly ‘towards Morelia, capital of Michoacan, heid by the Mex}- ‘wan imperialist division of the notorious Marques, pure ‘Dering three thousand men. His original force of four ‘thousind, more er less, was more than doubled op bit amar b, by the junction with him of Berriozabal, inp» aod others, giving him an aggregate strength of ten thon- wand meo, which force he telt coufident of being able 0 overwhelm Marquez. On the night of the 16th ios. watch fires illumined the heights arowud tbe threat ened city, and warned the garrison of his approach. ibe 27tb passed quietly, nor was a gun fired till dawo of the ay following, thus giving Marquez fully forty-emb! hours wherein to make needful preparations. By # +i gular coincidence Juarez was leaving Sao Luts under cover of bight at the moment Uraga was preparing | wtrike one last blow for the nationalcause. A fierce bombardment was opened at dawn of the 18th, lasting about aa hour, aod then the Juarists, in several columos: ‘avd Jed by Uraga in person, advanced boldly on the ene- my’s works, aod for a while the fighting was severe, Ov ‘the south side of the city the outworks were carried, and ‘tbe Juarists reached the Plaza de Armas; but bere thoy ‘met with a biwody repulse and were forced to retire ‘with yery considerabie loss. Tho details of the tight would be tedious. Let it suffice that the attsck failed, ‘Uraga losing fully one-third of bis men in Killed, ‘Wounded, prisoners and deserters, and eleven of his ‘thirty pieces of artillery.
