The Carairal-Quite remarkable change has
come over the city within the last live days.
and a stranger to arrive here now, lo[ !nI
first time, he could scarcely be made TO thlhh
it was such dull place as 1t might be salu 10 De,
in some respects, by many, short time ago. ptl
there is nothing very strange, even IN thIs-lof Is
not to be wondered at, that season so productive
of gaieties should not be forgotten In short Time,
and especially one that occurs but once yea,'
The carnival ushered in the present week, though
it, properly spkeaking closed on Tuesday, yet peo-
pie have thrown off in many instances that somDre
appearance which has marked their conduct lately
and in keeping with the great principle OF tlelr
religion which leads them to the observance OF the
nresent season. They look forward now to brighter
and better than those which have darkened
the last few seasons. We observe, with pleasure
many families returning to their homes, ana near
the rolling of carriages until a late hour OF The
night, giving assurance OF many happy reunions
between friends long separated by recent clrctm-
stances Such things as these give the hope that
the next carnival which dawns upon the great cry
will be the precursor of still greater and brighter
epoch than any which has yet frightened the des-
TIMES of the Mexican Republic, and more than re,
blighted hopes which have hitherto awaited a peo-
pie whose lot has placed them under the dlctaton
of infatuated and sefaggrandlzlng tyrants and
misguided and temporizing rulers
Ash Wedaesday-Yesterday onehalf of the wo-
men YOU met in the streets had cross of ashes on
their foreheads-marked there by the priests. The
carnival ended the day before, and this we are told
is a mode of repenting of any sins committed du
ring the carnival
Durdngo.-The Governor OF Durango writes
that, considering the misfortunes to which the
country is reduced by the triumphs OF the invader
and our own want Of tInlon nothing remains but
to negotiate peace on such terms as, under the
circumstances, may be most honorable.
Chhudhua..-Rumor has it that the Americans,
who for long time have been in the Canton OF Ell
Paso, were recently reinforced, and marched from
thence upon chihuahua, which capital they entered
without opposition.
San LuiS The Governor of San Luis says
there is gold silver in that State, than is
necessary to meet the taxes imposed by the general
laws of the Republic. We do not know how this
may be, but there ought to be. enough to meet the
assessments of the American Government, subject
to the provisions of the armstice. A good deal of
concealed tobacco was recently found in Orizaba,
and perhaps there are hidden funds at San Luis.
Perdigon Geray has been displaced from the COM
mand at lula, and ordered to leave that jurisdic-
ton. He is placed in command, however, of
another force, which, after the atrocities commit
ted by him, the Monitor thinks it the same as re-
handing him. ~
o. We heard yesterday, from very good author
ity, that Durango and Coahuila had sent in to the
Government at Queretaro their unqualified adhe-
sion to the treaty entered into at Guadalupe.

Col. HAYS and Major PoM.-From source of
unquestonabe authority, we hear that, previous to
his departure from this country to the United States,
Gen. Lane, always ready to give full credit to his
officers, he is TO fight his countrys foes, sent
communication to both Colonel Hays and Major |
