GENERAL MEXIA,

letter from this distinguished leader Of the
Patriots in Mexico appears in our columns Of
to-day. Its contents reveal, without disguise,
the real motives and plans ofthe party of which
Gen. Mexia is the efficient organ and head
Fortunate is it for Mexican freedom and for the
Federaists, that an officer Of such rare qualit-
cations and endowments has been appointed toI
lead and to control the march OF the revou-
ton. His military accomplishments, rare sa.
gacity. and ceaseless, untiring activity, raised
him to a high rank in the army OF Mexico
To merit alone was he indebted for his c!eva-
ton. Santa Anna regarded him as the best OF
his 1erals, and indeed it is minated that to
him is the ex-presdent indebted for much ofthe
military fame he enjoyed, until the defeat at
San Jacinto cropt his laurels. We havA heard
lii remarked of Mexia that while other Mex
lean generals would be lying by to take re-
Creshments, or TO enjoy the luxury OF s1eSta, he
would be pushing ahead, improving every mo-
ment, and Selling upon every advantage 'ha'
would tell upon the fortunes OF campaign
Habits of indelalgable industry and perseyef-
ance have characterized his life, and contrlou-
ted not little to that superiority over his rivals
and high reputation which he has enloyed'--
To all the shining qualities of the soldier, he
adds also the endowments OF the enlightened
statesman and the virtues ola pure patriot.
The liberation Of Mexico-the emancipation
of his countrymen from the yoke OF tyranlca
masters-are the single aud lofty motives tha
impel him to action. The ball OF revolution
has no, been set in motion by him Tor the sci
fish purposes of personal aggrandlzement' oN
with the holy and sublime ambition OF bursting
the letters of whole nation, and securing Tux
establishment of civilization and liberal lnstiio

Providence has endowed him with rare ana al
mirable abilities fitness like that OF WASH
ington, seems to point him out as the ga''ah
, chiefiain who is to lead his oppressed country

. backed by The valor and counsels OF Genera
S Urea, Federalism may yet prove triumPhahl
. The little army Of patriots have now Doldiy fe

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
