MEXICO.

lie following lctterlias been addressed to the Editor
of a Morning Paper:

fits—What has just passed in Mexico is rather a counter-
revolution, than not a rim mention, for :he end which they
have proposed
.to themselves has been that of making the con- 11
stituticn triumph, which had been shamefully violated in con-
:Agnew of the events of December, 1838; and because the
res,:lts chtai;;ed arc the return to legal order, the union of all
,he honest men of all parties, consequently the speedy disso-
letic a of all t:lcse parties, and the futute prosperity of the
eetaitry. This facility with which they have overturned, in
a far days. a government established a year ago, proves on what side
and ter what principles '61:3.4 the voice of public opinion, which is
seltle n wrong in relation to the true national interests; and if
the national interest, in accordance with equity 'and honour, de-
mangled on this occasion the co-operation of all the citizens, how
sera 4 ever be made a crime to whoever may have given his ac.
quiescence, let him be a private soldier or a minister of state, should
he esen have made to his country the sacrifice of his affections and
of b:s first oaths ? This great event has been realised without shocks,
without troubles, without prosecutions ; all was prepared —foreseen ;
and they did not wish to leave any thing to fortune or chance.
And why so ? Because in the greater number of conspiracies the
conspirators are people who, having nothing to lose, may risk every
thing, and that in this one the conspirators were proprietors—in-
Ilustrious men—the moat respectable people of all professions...who
had the greatest interest that the scenes of Sombrarete and Avian
.hoLld not be renewed. Thence the admirable older which reigned
l!tliing the time of a transaction the moat susceptible of disorders,
.411!n4 the 15 days that the counter-revolution lasted. From thence
al. o, far from attributing this order to the apathy or indolence of
she Mexicans, justice ought to be rendereed to them, in avowing
that only the most ardent love of their country and the sense of
duty, could thus unite into a homogeneous whole,3 and for a single
cr.d, the will, the opinions, and the individual interests of several
millions of individuals.

" I can also assure you, Sir, that this event would have taken
place six months ago but fur the appearance of the Spaniards on
our coasts, but the presence of the enemies of our independence oc-
ca'doned the delay of the explosion, and there was nothing thought
of bat making them repent of their folly. Independence before
every thing. I know sufficiently by experience the interest which
you take in the cause and well-being of my country not to be sure
that you willhave the goodness to insert in your paper of to-morrow
these observations, that the perusal of your leading article of to-day
has suggested to me.—Accept, Sir,

" A MEXICAN."
