MEXICO.

Through the polite attention Of q commercial
mousse oil this city, we have received the Diari0 del
Gootsrno (the government raper) Of the llth ult.
IL contains the ofhcia announcement Of the election
OF General Herrera President of the republic of
Mexico There are twenty-five departments in
Mexico of which the successful candidate must re-
celve the votes of thlreen--being an absolute ma
jority Of the whole. II appears that although full
returns had not been received, il was ascertained
that Herrera had already obtained the SURFACES of
elected President. He will take the oath Of Office
and be inaugurated on the Goth September.
The resignation of the various minister's Of
which we made mention yesterday, was purely the
consequence of an understanding with the President
ad interim when they accepted Office under him on
the 9th December last. The Dimio del Gobierno
publishes Cuevas's letter of resignation in which
that unctionary refers to the agreement alluded to,
and declares that he and his conerss of the cabinet
only acting in conformity 10 the terms stipulated
at the period the organization Of the new govern
ment.
The only reference made to Texas in this com
munication is the following: "You are about to
commence new administration, with the certainty
that the republic is anxious for internal tranquility,
loves and respects the constitutional authorities and
is resolved to make every sacrifice required by the
war which it is necessary to undertake, in conse-
quence of the iniqptous usurpaton of the depart
ment of Texas.'
From the New Orleans Bulletin. Sept 8.
The arrival from Tampico, published yesterday,
exhibits Mexican affairs in posture favorable
as could be expected for peace. The reelection Of
Herrera, the present incumbent, President, being
considered probable is altogether suspicious. For,
Notwithstanding the buster that has been made
about war, It is well known that the present Exc
cutve was strongly disposed to the continuance Of
peace. An evidence of pacific intentions is furnish
Cd IN the late dissolution of the Mexican cabinet,
| from which both Cuevas and Garcia Condo were
turned out--the two ministers who were the most
jealous and active in urging hostes The event
may he taken, we think, as an index Of the policy
of the administration. The dissolution of cabi-
net is extraordinary measure. II is resort
ed to by the Executive, without some grave and ad-
equate cause. A disagreement upon some great
and leading principle Of state policy is the most
frequent, and indeed the only, justifable motive
| for the dismissal of one SET Of ministers, and
| the formation of new cabinet All the changes
Of the kind which take place under the admin
istration Of this country, and in England, may
be traced TO some such spring of action. What has
been the cause OF this sudden shifting of the cabinet
in Mexico, has not been made public. In the ST.
lence of the journals of the capital, are left en-
trely to our own conectures. So much, however,
is certain, that there have been grave reasons
for the change, and of kind that it not polite
for the Executive to divulge. We can think Of
nothing more likely to account satisfactorily for the
movement, than split between the Executive and
the ministers on the war question, and the determi.
nation of the former to adhere to pacific policy
The supposition COMFORTS well with facts, SO far
| they are ascertaned. On the eve of an expired
term of Office, and before his reelection was assur
ed, it is not to be presumed that Herrera would
have turned out his old colleagues and advisers, and
called new cabinet around him, unless in con-
tngency which involved the destiny of the nation
If his reason for the change were such is init
mated, the concealment Of il is not to be wondered
at, and lends confirmation to the conjecture In no
other way the dissolution of the cabinet in the
present crisis of Mexican affairs be satisfactorily
explained. Whether the surmise be well. founded
not the result will show; and we await with con
| fdence the denouement
