maxims which form the code of legitimacy. The distance at which
the Republic is situated from the new empire, and the slight sinti.

their departure sprung from the nature end complicated obj eta of
their mission. The Government has weighed and discussed the d .
rections given to them with the greatest care, and when the time to
put them in practice, and to make them known, shell arrive, Mex-
ico will be placed in that situation which she deserves, for the frank-

It we turn our attention to the interim of the republic, we shall
receive the congratti'stions of those who observe the mai, stic course
al our continued f, li:ity. The controversies which necessarily oc-
curred on certain important points, far from causing any irregulari-

sents the flattering hope of lessening fraud, and of obliging the sive-

a much more ebuneant collection of tte.: taxes, fuun&d on the li-

The Mexican national funds had followed the fall of those of the
