FURTHER MEXICAN ITEMS.

| Since our last we have conversed with a very in
Itelligent gentleman--one who has travelled mucl
lover Mexico within the last six months-who in
forms us that business of every kind is excessively
|dul that all confidence is lost and that wild state
Iof confusion reigns in almost every section. Moth
ling, he thinks, will restore perfect order and firm
save the establishment of monarchy
and the call of some foreign prince to the throne
thus created The people are becoming more and
more unable to govern themselves; anarchy i.
|every day progressing with fearful strides.
Murders and robberes constantly occurring
land the most public roads and IN the most public
] places But few days SINCE Don Manuel Asun
Izulo, the new governor of Durango, was robbed
within short distance of Fresnillo, and old ant
avorite seryantthe only one of his party armed
was killed on the spot. He was on his way tc
assume the duties of his Office at the time and tn,
robbers, among other things, despoiled him Of
beautiful pearl necklace he had purchased for hi.
8wife, and which was valued at near 81, 900. Asun
zulo is spoken of as an officer Of superior attain

Idiligences between Iacatccas and the ctyof Mexico
are robbed daily and the same is the case on all III,
public roads. Thousands of Santa Ana's old sol

have no other means of support, they form them
selves into bands and live by pillage. The poo
government all this while, with all its talk abou
1subecting Texas and declaring war against tn,
United States, cannot dispense these brigands from
very nlust.
The entire country is in political ferment
strong feeling is manifested in different sections il
favor of the federal constitution of "a and the ex

strange as It may seem, are working zealously t

thing may grow out of it, which will again plac

learn that Gomez Farias, always staunch and un

that he will shortly be in power If this does happen

will be against the rich and intolerant religious es
