quent of late years. This appears to have been
got up and carried through exclusively by the ar
my, the citizens generally having taken no other
part in it, way or the other, than that of ma
king at first show Of resistance which they aban-
doned as soon as the revolers came in sight. What
had become of President Herrara and Senior Al
monte does not appear to have been known; there
were rumors, however, that the former had fled and
the latter had been thrown into prison.
General Paroles makes very fair show of pro-
misses and intentions; if his object was only to
put down the existing Government and leave to the
people, or their duly appointed representatives, the
task of framing one more efficient and acceptable.
We think it not unlikely, however, that the
premontory accounts will be verified in the end,
by the establishment of something like triumv-
rate, consisting of Santa Anna, Paroles and AL
monte.

1t is difficult to speculate on the course Of Mex
lean men, but it seems to us that if Santa Anna,
Paroles and Almonte become the rulers of the
country, there will be no great difficulty in coming
to an adjustment with the United States. These
three men, and Gen. Bustamente, probably have a
clearer and more accurate perception than any
other publicsts in Mexico Of the strong necessity
that exists, for having a good understanding with
the United States; and probably they could WELD
more power in the attainment OF such understand
ing. The main danger is that they may not agree
among themselves long enough to bring any nego-
tlation TO a close.-.N Y. Com. .4dr.

FIRE IN EAST TOPSHAM.

Mr.. Editor On the morning of the Doth inst =,
at about o'clock, the block of buildings owned
mostly by Mr. Bagey C. Currier, and occupied by
him as tonnery, was discovered to be on fire. -
The hire had proceeded so far before it was dscov-
cred as to defy all resistance In short time all
were Frustrated The block being one hundred
and sixty feet long, was as follows The first
room was blacksmhs shop, owned by DR.. Nc
Nlece-the second was a cabinet shop owned by
Mr.. Frederic p Courier-the third was bark and
carriage room-the fourth was occupied as room
to curry and store leather-the last was a shoe
shop.
Mr. Bagey Courier, the principal loser, in this
fire, has lost $4,000. The whole loss is estimated
at $4,000. The fire originated in the cabinet
shop, and is a caution to men who ieave fire among
Shap'ngs, SaW-dust, Sc. On this property there
was no insurance, and the sympathy manifested for
Mr. Currer by the citizens is being manifested by
their determination to replace in part the buildings

" As this is the first time our Charter election

that though Franklin may have been Democratic
