The news from Mexico has baffled the hopes of the

The events in Mexico we have anticipated throughout,

and we considered the reported defeat of Saint Mania
before Lima one of those amusing tricks so often

played upon us during the late war. The descendants
of PIZARRO no longer enjoy the blessings of the Holy

the blessings of liberty greatly valued. The only kilt
we find in the plan of Government settled between tit
republican and royalist leaders, is the first article
of making a national religion, which should be as is
the United States, open to any and to every sect. Yet
we make a due allowance for prejudices. In all
human probability it was a kind of accommodation;
in a short time they will see that universal benevolence
should be the religion of all, and that any deviation
from that grand principle must render the name a
cat's paw in the hands of wicked men. Give as the
essence, any party is welcome to the forms.
The formation of a junta to govern until the Cortes
are assembled, is as it should be. When these bay,
