Leon occupied by foreign troops; the departments
OF Mexico, Jalsco, Slnaloa and Sonora, distracted
by intestine dlscords; those Of New Mexico, Chi
huahua, Durango, Coahuila and Zacatecas, aflict
ed by the tomahawk of the feroclous savage, and
the nation distressed by the painful uncertainty Of
the future; its treasure exhausted its politics con-
fused, and all the bonds of public morals relaxed"
This Is Ia true picture of our condition.
From the Diario del Goberno.
MEXICO, July 2l.-Two brgades completely
equipped, have already left this capital for San
| Luis Potos, and in a short time the provisional
| president (Paredes) will depart with the remainder
Of the army of reserve.
In the equipment of these forces, including horses,
clothing, tralns and munitions, more than 5000 900
has been expended within these last months; all
which has been collected and paid; SO that nothing
of any importance remains due. Moreover the
treasury of the army has received considerable sums
IN cash, and in orders on the capitals of the interior
| departments, which have been successfully negot-
ated. In this way subsistence has been provided for
| the army long time to come, which Is TO rendcz-
vous in San Luis Potosi to the number Of 10000
men, This force, with the addition of the troops In
the north, will make quite respectable army.
| All necessary measures have been taken here TO
secure to the troops at Vera Cruz and Tampico the
regular payment of their dues; and also that the
corps now actively forming may be promptly paid.
In the midst of these attentions the public officers
yet receive their salaries punctuay, although re-
duced in amount, by Of the circumstances in
| which the republic is placed. The government has
secured the means of defraying the ordinary ex-
penses Of government during all the present year,
and also for the extraordinary war expenses, without
burdenng the people with new contributions, or the
| treasury with new loans.
Thus the nation will see that the government has
not made use of the extraordinary powers conferred
upon it by Congress for providing means to carry on
| the Oar unjust invaders, who in the dellrium
of their ambition, have proclaimed that our want OF
| resources would make us slaves without conflict,
will find that the Mexican nation has great resources
in the INTERIOR and that they will be sufficient in any
event; for the administrative order and moral power
| of the government increase them. The government
of the United States, with u little reflection, will
perceive that the war which it wages against us is
not to be terminated by conquest of our country,
! but by honorable propositions of peace
Animated by patriotism, the governors of depart
ments, and the llusrious clergy of the republic, will
nobly aid the government with the resources it has
asked Of them and there is no doubt but they will
do it promptly and cheerfuIly; and the commandan,
generals, following the example of morality and
good government set by the chief magistrate will
cooperate, as might be expected from their civic
virtues, that by economy the sacrifices of the nation
may be less.
The problem that the Mexican government can
live upon its interior resources, and sustain the war
even though it should be continued five years, is
now solved And it is also seen that at the same
time it has been able to decree the payment of its
creditors The last arrangement Of the debt, which
is proof ofthe good faith and proby of the govern
ment, indemnl6es them fully for the sacrifices which
they made during the short period Of suspension
necessary only for the moment. ..
