MEXICO.

The following account Of the present
condition of Mexico has been furnished 10
the editor of the New Orleans Bee, by a
.yentlemau who has resided some months
in that Republic
The Mexican Provinces are in the most
agfated state, and has been so for the last
four menths
The preset party in power is called the
Scoth party. President Guerrero lives at
his country seat. Gen. Bastamente, the
Vice President, having large part of the
army under his command, attained The as
cendancy over the Yore party, as they are
called, and forced President Guerrero TO
retire from the Presidency.
Zayala, the late Secretary of State, has
been arrested with a number of other res
pectable individuals, in the city Of Mexico,
and their property confscatcd for the use of
Bustamente and his troops.
Civil war RACES throughout the proyln.
ces. About three weeks ago. force of
one thousand men were sent to President
Guerrero; he received information of their
intention, and retired to the mountains
with fivchundred men, where he is increas-
ing his forces and bids defiance to the par
ty in power.
Several battles have beop fought, with III.
lie success on either side; and the opinion
IS, that the present party will soon be Out
OF power. At the present moment Mexico
rs the most despotic Government on
Tie Globe. The Constitution IS treated as
a piece Of blank paper-thc Military rules

RUENOS AYRES.

A paper of the 9th March brought By the
ship Telegraph at Philadelphia, irons Bue-
nos Ayres, says 1.-The affairs Of the int
rior have taken a most unfortunate turn.
The cheering hopes which we entertained
Of a speedy paclfcation of the Republic,
are converted INTO gloomy forebodIngs ola
general conilagration, in which our prov
nee and lis allies will be involved"
Itappears that the members of the Bue-
nos Ayres Mediatory Commission, having
left the camp of Gen. Paz for that Of Gen.
Quiroga. in order to effect reconciliation
of the differences existing between the two
commanders, were engaged in negocia-
tons with the latter, when Gen. Paz, IN
violation of good faith, advanced with his
army and succeeded in surprising that Of
Qulroga Who experienced complete route
and the loss of his artillery. The Com
mis- sioners have published a strong protest
against the conduct of Paz.
