We copy the following interesting review of Mex. can affairs from Tuesday's Picayune

| ican affairs from Tuesday, Picayune
 Our paper of Su nday last had scarcely gone to press before favored with intelligence from | Mexico week later than reached as on Saturday
 via Tampico. It brough by the Mexican schoon. | CT Gerildo, Herrera, master, which sailed the 30ih
 ult. from Vera Cruz. She brought complete files
 from the capital to the 26th of August, our latest | previous date being the l9th.
 The papers do little more than confirm the inte lii gence already laid before the reader. No direct war be declared by Mexico Tn the present condition ef her affairs; the fool hardness of such measure would be monstrous. md it is not unreasonable to say that the quasi war, which has many advocates "a for the reconquest of Texas-is almost equally impracticable. There IS some deep seated. corrodng disease proving upon the vtas of the gov. ernmen; fixed distrust among the men of note de- priyes the adminis' ration of that unon of mniste- rial ability and experience, which would acquire fdence for the government and give 10 il determined energy. The President seems periodically dispos- cd he sees, tot, the right to be pursued in the administration of affairs, but he hesiiaies and procrasnates; he feels the weakness of his power, and the people know it. Wicked, designing men are watching hun, ready to grasp at any advantage which may be offered them by an unguarded move. He is evidently not the man for great crisis and affairs of Mexico have certainly reached one.
 The appointment of Gen. Bustamente Com mander in Chief of the army of Texas, is announced in Fl Monitor of Aug. 22d. This is post which he had long sought but il may be doubted if his aspirations may not bring him in collision with the military chiefs, already too numerous for the com mand of the army Nor does he possess lhe energy and ability 10 command universal confidence. He has old enemies to conc ciate, his own designs will be suspected, and he will surpass our expectations
 if he succeeds in so concentrating the power of Mexico as to make invasion of Texas formda be.
 The editor of the Sislo is forever larnenting over the errors and the improvidence and lhe crimes which have marked ihe efforts of Mexico to recover Texas The misapplication Of funds, wruDg from
 the people upon he faith of being appropriated to
 its reconquest; the employment of troops, raised for this single purpose, upon other enterprises and at distant points; the total negle ol every p eparaion
 for a campagn by establishing line of strong from tier posts, of magazines &c.-such are the themes upon which the editor writes in despondency and bit of spirit He recurs 10 the errors m policy committed by Santa Anna, such the barbarous crueties and massacres by which he signased petty successes m Texas, thus alternating almost beyond hope the great body of the colonsts; hls total Ois sion of any act to concilliate appease the Texans themselves; and, to finish the climax, his overlook ing the element of discord 10 be found in the black population of the United States, and his neglect to foment and encourage ssthe spirit of aboliiionsm, which sooner or later will destroy the colossal pow CT of the North" All these things are brought for- ward magnify the difficulties with which the pres ent administration has 10 struggle. From year t0 year, t is urged, they have been accommodating, till ihev become almost insuperable.
 And now the act of gross insurbordnution at San Luis Pot0si, Characterised by the government oh- cIa as a iau, only,) is denounced liy he Siglo as having inflicted upon the republic a tremendous wrong; subecng it 10 the scoiis and jeers of its en- emes and 10 the pity of it's friends; endangering all discipline lhroushoet the remainder of the army, and even the public tranquility.
 The Siglo calls to mind how the opposition jour naIs attacked the administration for having con centrated strong body of troops far back as Jan uary last to invade Texas. The course Of the gov ernment IS now justified, it urges by the enactors of the piiifu farce at San Luis. IL sought 10 prevent that which at Inst il has been unable to prevent IL feared lest disafected and sullen cheliaIns, instead of employing their upon the foreign ioe should turn them upon goveroment i'll consolidated and which they detesled, and by such revolt as that of San Luis, strike mortal blow to the honor of Mex ico and endanger public peace. It was m hopes that complete forbearance might conciate the dis affected and that the lapse of lime and the removal of false impressions might dsarm them of their anmo- sities, and dispose them tavoraby for obedience to such orders as should be given them. But these great hopes, springng from an imprudent generosi- y and from expectations founded upon ,he most hon nrabie motives, have now been deliberately blasted These chieiains by their revolt have proved that
 'Allernum manet sub pectora vulnus."
 This disaileclion was the most formidable, the | most insuperable objection to undertaking the cam paign; this it was which hampered the course of the government, but which the government From very
