these evidently correct views of the outward state
Of things in this Inflated republic, and from move

some event of great importance very soon. We
have seen it stated that there has been meeting in
the city of Mexico, of the most distinguished men,
bers of the party which is in favor of connecting
themselves with the United States government, in
order TO get rid OF the military domination under
which they have suffered for the last twenty or hr

that delegates from the Catholics of Mexico will al
