IlTY OF MEXICO, Nov. 3, lS47.
Neare all at periectstand and anxouslv
awaiting the disposition of our Government.
The city Is much more quiet than it has
been Tor many years; indeed it is as well
regulated as any city in any country. The
only difficulties occurring are caused by an
occasional drunken soldier falling in with the
leperos at night, which usually result in the
assassination of the soldier. Mary of the
families who left during the siege are now
returning TO their homes. The wounded
are recovering and The general health OF the
army is good. Day before Yesterday the
Archbishop paid visit to Gen. Scott His
Holiness was received with marked dstinc-
ton by the General-in-C hiel, and | should
not be surprised If the Generals atiabilitv
and easy style Of conversation somewhat
pleased him, at least for the moment.
1t is absolutely impossible to conjecture
what course the politics of this country will
take. The factions are Earring, each ieal-
Gus lest the other should conclude peace
and heleit in power. The democrats have
been cndeavorlng for many years to break
down the privileged establishment Of the
church and military, and are now striving to
accomplish their object through us. For
that reason they are striving 10 prolong the
war, and prevent, BY sowing the seeds of
dIscord and anarchy, tie present party in
power from taking any measures that may
lead 10 peace.-Senor ID. Luis de la Rosa,
Minister of Foreign Relations, has called
meeting of the Governors of the several
States, for the purpose of saving whether
they are III favor of prolonging the war,
and II they are, that they shall pledge them
selves TO furnish the necessary men and
supplies 10 prosecute it.
The meeting vas intended to have taken
place some time this month, but in anteipa-
ton OF 1t some of the Governors of diferent
States have visited the Government at Que
retaro, and returned to their homes. taking
active measures insupport of the present 60
vernmcnt, who are evidently DESTROYS of COLI
Guiding peace. FL ProgressU, the state
paper of Guanajato, Of Oct. 81, says it
has been assured that the Governor intends
makinga pcregripatlon to the dillerenttowns
of the state, for the purpose Of making
speeches TO the people in order to excite a
spirit OF peace, which his eXccllency says,
has already commenced TO revive" The
Bishop OF Guadalalara also recognises the
Government of Pena Pena. and avows his
determination to give it his earnest support.
The states of Vera Cruz and Oajaca have
also made similar determination. With
this additional support, one would be led to
believe that the present party in power
would be enabled 10 pursue whatever poll
cy they might please; but there is so little
confidence TO be placed in any thing the
Mexicans say that there is room for doubt.
At last they have been enabled to get NEE
ting of Congress atQueretaro, which assem-
bled on the I'd Of this month, and already
are beginning TO make demonstrations to-
wards a revolution, which seems to be the
universal means taken by the weaker party
to overthrow the stronger. The Penay Pc
ma government, ii appears will contend with
the friends Of Santa Anna and thc democrats.
The former is endcavering to rally the old
army in his favor, and the latter exerting
themselves to prevent the government from
doing any thing at all.
Santa Anna has written another address
TO the McXicans from Tchuacan, and al
though he has been stripped Of every vestige
Of power by the Constitutional Government,
suil he ranks himself as President, ad inte-
rim and Gcneral-n-C Of the army.
4 few days since we had news of the
death of Gen. Herrera, but have since learn
CD that his health IS improving.
The remains of the Mexican army are
scattered about in small bodies where they
can be most easily supportcd--not more
than 900 at any one point.
The French populationare making good
deal of disturbance, but To no effect. on ac-
count of Col. lEarney having logged one of
their countrymen. It appears that the fell

up a row in general. After he was arrested
