Intelligence from MexIco-Depiorable State OF
Things There

ever since the overthrow of the constitution of
1924, and the elevation to power, over its ruins of
her first military despot A revolution has. it ap-
pears, broken out, at the head of which is the no.
torious Paroles, and the equally well known ia
rauta-and what the end will be, it is impossible to
say.
The proposed object of this revolution is to over
throw the present government-but with what ul-
innate purpose does not appear. The ostensible
grounds on which II has been commenced are that
the existing government has committed treason to
the nation, because, we presume, it favored the
treaty OF peace with the United States and was
accessory to the transfer to this country OF the ter
ritories of New Mexico and California AT the
last account, from there this military cheftainwas
gaining adherents in the city of Mexico and in
other parts; and the government, it was expected.
would be overthrown If he succeed, as there is
every probability of his dong, he will reanimate
the dying embers of national feeling and perhaps
seek to plunge the two countries in war again
Whether that be his design, or whether he intends
to revive his projectof establishing monarchy in
Mexico 1t is difficult to ascertain; but it is evident
that we have not yet done with that country. II
Paroles acquire strength, he will 90 from
one thing TO another; and although he may be
lessons which we have administered to that
country, declare against the validity of the re-
emily ratified treaty, and by either fomenting
instruction IN the territories which we have ac-
quired by that treaty. or by directly invading them
make it incumbent on the United States to recur
again to the sword for chastisement This would
be state of things which we not prepared for,
and 1t behooves Congress before the adjournment TO
take such measures will authorize the Pres
dent, during the vacation, to vindicate the honor
and interests Of the country, in the event of its
being necessary. The country should be pre-
pared to meet such an emergency IN the most
vigorous manner. If Paroles and his adherents
have any ultimate design of this kind-of which
we are sorry to say there is every probability from
present appearances-the President of the United
States should be authorised by law, on the occur
renee of such emergency, TO raise sufficient
force of volunteers to check the movement in the
bud, and promptly chastise its authors and
abetors.
Come what may, it really appears that Mexico
is fated to be overrun by the United States of the
North. II really seems to have been pre-ordained,
and one is inclined to believe that this "manifest
destiny''Eof ours is not moonshne, as some be-
heve. five are to have another war with that
country, of course the indemnity must be in the
shape of territory; and thus, Judging from present
appearance, 1t will 60 on until the whole of that
republic is incorporated with the United States.
We always were of opinion that at some distant
period this was inevitable, and we had hoped that
il was delayed until at least General Taylor would
be placed in the Executive chair at Washington,
and that the prestige of his would obviate the
necessity of taking another slice of territory until
we had dgested the frst but it positively appears
that we are to be disappointed, and that we will
be compelled to give the Mexlcans little more
grape, and take from them little more territory,
from time to time, until the whole is exhausted.
