Dear Sir AFTER some delay, am il

receive file of your valuable paper; and
rejoice much 10 see that the sensible men

You are correct in the opinion you have
formed. The Federal cause in Mexico is
the cause of civilization and of ibertv;s il
is the cause of the people, agains. their
orpressors: and, were II not for the French
question, would have long ere this triumph

We oppose The mercenary veterans, paid&

now that General Santa Anna has return

General Meria.-A letter from this dis
,insuished leader of the patriots in Mexico
appears in our columns to day. Its con-
tents reveal, without disguise, the real mo-
tives aud plans Of the party Of which Cen
era Mexia is The efficient organ and head.
Fortunate is it for Mexican freedom and
for the Federalists, that an officer of such
rare qualifications and endowments has
been appointed to lead and to control the
march of the revolution. His military ac.
complishments, rare sagacity, and cease
less, untiring activity, raised him 10 high
rank in the army Of Mexico. To merit
alone was he indebted for bis elevation.-
Santa Anna regarded him as the best of
his generals, and, indeed, it is intmaled
that to him is the Ex President indebted
for much Of the military fame be enjoyed,
until the defeat of San Jacinto cropped his
laurela. We have heard it remarked Of
Mexia that while other Mexican Generals
would be lying by to take refreshments,
or TO enjoy the luxury Of thesiesta, he would
be pushing ahead. improving every mo-
ment. and seizing upon every advantage
that would tell upon the fortunes of cam
paign. Habits OF interchangeable industry
aud perseverance have characterized his
life, aud contributed not a little 10 that su.
perlority over his rivals and high reputa.
lion which he has enjoyed. To ali the
shining qualities of the soldier, he adds also
the endowments ofthe enlightened states.
man and the virtues Of pure patriot.
The liberation of Mexico-ihe emauci.
pa'ion Of his countrymen'from the yoke Of
tyranhical masters-are the single and
lofty motives that impel him 10 action.-
The ball lofrevolution has not been set in
motion by hun for the selfish purposes of
personal aggrandizement, but with the
holy and sublime ambition of BURSTING
the fetrers of a whole nation. and securing
the establishment of civilization and liber.
al institutions For the achievement of
this great end Providence has endowed
him with rare and admirable abilities. A
fitness like that of Washington, seems to
point him out as The gallant chieftain who
is to lead his oppressed country to victory
and freedom. Under his auspices, backed
by the valor and counsels of General Ur-
rea, Federalism may yet prove triumph
ant. The little army of patriots have now
boldly resolved to penetrate the interior.
lu the populous city of Puebla, and the
adjacent provinces, they have many
sIaunch aud powerful friends. These will
join the standard of revolt, and every DAYS
march will add TO their strength till the for
ces Of the Federalsts will be match in
the field for all the troops of the Govern
meni. In view of these facts the friends
of Mexican freedom have much to eucour-
age their dropping hopes. The cause is in
good hands, and is destined, we trust. ere
long. to be crowned with signal and entiro
