sipon the consuiutiono Of 1871. apon which
y issapposed that he Federal and Santa
ANNA pauies would nnite. The Federal-
li-ts were unuie to MAKE head against ths
Novernment by themselves; bul when
Joined by Sanfa Anna's adherents. tie sue
eess OF The Two combined could scarcely
ae doubted. In thispan the Il xss ques-
1'on was MISUNDERSTANDING being said
ebout il. Mr. Dimond thought il quite
lfobats that Santa Anna and Atnonte
NFouidarrive at Vera Cruz ty the next stea-
iheF rom Hsvana-this, however, was
duobied by some we'll informed parties.
~'1he period for The general elections
had passed. and it was not thought that
asdffeieni number Of Congressmen were
elected to form quorum. Paredes is wal
aligg Tor the meeting OF Congress to get per-
1nEelon TO leave the seat OF Government at
The head Of 10000 0men-avowedly for the
-hloGrande-but the better opinion SEEM
edto he that this force was designed for
1As own protection.
"1he death of the Archbishop wus a
heavy blow to the monarehcal party. Up
sonaills deathbed the ambitious preIale re-
gretted that his lite could not be spared to
asset IN consumnalng the schemes of
AAat faction. With him the hopes OF The
.lsIonarth hists have died,
"Ihe Departments are pronnuneing a.
gaiRst Patedes in every direction His
heavy demands upon the churches and
thsStales have rendered him more unpop-
1lk than before. lts not thought he can
aAadHain hs.power any considerable length
of time.
"'Mr Dimond relates one or two cir
.duHnsIances which are extremely credta-
BE to Gen. Bravo, who ia in command OF
1lie forces at Vera Cruz. Shortly after the
tlneaking out of hostililics a council Of war
was held at which it was voted to seize the
american vessels then in port as prizes.
Hul Gen. Bravo o,d not aide by this
decision. He allowed several vessels to
depart with heavy cargoes, because, as he
sad, "lhey had entered the port in good
faith. and they should be allowed to de-
lhrt IN good faith"
"When Mr.. DImon1 got on board the
sMississipp, there were several Mexican
vessels anchored under the guns OF the
Squadron, taken as prizes. Upon beng
told oi the liberal conduct Of Gen. Bravo,
Capt Gregory released the vessels, and
sent them into port with lelter TO Gener
al Bravo stating as reason for his o do
ing that he had allowed American vessels
10 depart uumolested from Vera Cruz.
Gen. BlavO sent an answer to Captuln
a9Mgory the mex day, under hgg otuute.
nithis note, which we have seen, Gen.
Hsvo disclgims any title to praise or h-
conduct upon the score of maEnanimity,
But modestly places his actions on the
BROAD grounds Of national law and sancti-
tyo private properly belonging 10 inno-
subn. parties In this c0nnexou, too, we
fhay mention that Mr.. Dnond received
every attention aud courtesy from General
qTAvo and the Collector OF Vera Cruz prior
xotiis sdeparIure.
-'Fhe Castle Of San Juan de Ulua il re-
atfeeented to be in the highest state Of pre-
paratlon. A water battery has been p
s1ected IN ronnexon with the Old fort, and
Ahey mount between them two hundred
gums OF the largest calibre

at Vera CRUZ bul only a few men, and
'tlioee Of the lowest sort. were found willing
ssoenligt. In the city OF Mexico Govern
FMem expresses arrived frequently from tht
army, but, AS nothing of their contents
were allowed to tfanspire OF late, the in
,presaion was that The Mexicans had me
with disaster.
"In regard to the English squadron il
t1hs Pacific, Mr.. Dimoad Is of the opinion
that thesr veesrs had teen sent out VIII
reference 10 the Oregon question. He doe
not think it probhble that th-y have an,
instructions respecting the war wuh Mex
leo or the seizure OF California in Couse
1qnenee Of the war.
"Mr, Dlnrond, previous to leaving, drew

'meut remousuance against the otder .
