generally Of such disagreeable cha
racter, and so perplexed in their de-
tails; that it is difficult matter to take
any interest in them, or keep pace with
the intelligence. The whole country
seems split into petty factions, continu-
ally engaged in imbecile and fruitless
contests, and stigmatizing each other
as traitors. Mexico ranked first among
the Spanish colonies in all the elements
of national greatness, and in some of
them was superior even to our own;
but the demagogues Of the country
have carried their doctrines Of State
Rights to an extreme which might az
ford salutary lesson to some Of our
metaphysical statesmen in the south.

the Goth July, and addressed to the
Mexican Vice Consul, by Mr.. Castillo,
the Charge d'Affairs, announcing that
the revolt which had broken out in the
State of Morelia, and was seconded by
several chiefs and troops near the fed

The President Of the Republic entered
the capital on the 10th June, amidst
the joyful acclamations of the people,
while the revolutionary division was

cas-, news had been received of the late
revolt, by which a few bad men endea-
yored to deprive the country of its So
veregnty, and to reduce free Mexico
to an empire of slaves. 1t is impossi-
Bile to conceive a more noble and en-
thusiastic spirit than that manifested in
favor of the government. The state
of Zacatecas has passed law making
it capital crime to oppose the actual
form of government by speech or I'M

Of the states.
The New Orleans Bulletin, Of the
10Th July, contains translations from
the Tampico Gazette to the 4th July,

him that he was in the discharge of his
high federal functions, and that the
traitors Arista and Duran remained
with only five hundred men, the intre-
Ipld General Lomus being in pursuit of
them with a division more than two
thousand strong. General Mexia, with
an equal force, was marching on Que.
retaro and Morelia. General Cuesta
had set out from Jalisco with q strong
division, and 'the brave militia of Pc.

An extract ola letter from Tampico,
dated the I'd July, published in the
New York Daily Advertiser, states
that the Cholera was very fatal in that
village, half of the inhabitants having
died with it. 1t was spreading into the
country, and had reached the Table
Land. The later intelligence, received
at New Orleans, states that the desc.
lating pestilence had vanished from
Tampico, after carrying off a third of
the inhabitants, and business was in
the most fiourishing state. The Tam.
