Interesting from the City of Mexico,

| BY the brig Mary Jane, the Patria has received
later intelligence from Mexico, some interesting
| portions of which translate for the benefit of
| our readers The Monitor Repubcano published
al the city of Mexico, 9th Feb) contains the fol-
| lowing remarks upon the situation of the Govern
! ment:
| . The first blow gwen by our Governors to the
| spirit of faction, to deprive Gen. Santa anna
! of the command of the armies; but it would have
been still better, if they had taken precautions that
this individual SO injurious to country, should
| not have been able by meaIs of his agents to inter-
| fere in any manner with public affairs and not
less, should they have prevented these bad agents
from lnNentlng calllmnles, propagatlng iasehoOds,
and spreading alarms which inliise a constant in
| quetude among the pacific citizens. 1t s every
day announced by certain periodicals and persons,
| that there have been pr0nuncian,entos and lastly
| il has been rmOred in this city that Seniors
| Pcna and Rosa have been assasslnated. But how
| wonder that such state of things should
| exist in this city, when we informed that even
| IN Quer6taro, the Government is menaced by a
formidable revolution in Guanauato-by revolu-
osS in all parts of the Republic-instigated by the
monarchiss and aided and sustained by the clergy:
and when in the same city there are published
iibels against the Government. and unmerited
praises of Santa Anna as if the nation does not
know what value to place upon such 1hings9
And what precautions does the Government
take for the correction Of these evils! None. lift
be not vgiiant, the effects of these miserable in
trgues will speedily manifest themselves, and the
fall of the Government will be inevitable But in
What manner can ii be corrected BV very easy
method. 1t is not necessary directly to persecne
any nor TO suppress the liberty of the press AS
has been done by the mbece Governor of Guiana
luato, nor even to make of legal means against
the cal1lmmators. 1t is only necessary that the
Government should be constant; that it should
constantly progress ceaseIessIy advancing towards
It's object. This would be the greatest defeat its
enemies could snter
The Government has had experience that it only
needs to work with energy, in order to defeat its
enemies. Who protested when it deprived Santa
Anna of the command of the army No one.
His partlsans We're compelled to lament and repro
bate IN secret the measures of the Government.
Let imagine that it had been previously an
nounced that the Government about to take
thai step, how many me1aces, how many alarms,
how many libes would not have been showered
upon the administration and the nation Yet the
step was taken and in few days no voice was
raised in opposition.
But let us examine another point The question
of peace or war was agitated. and there was tre-
mendons uproar in favor of the latter What fol-
lowed Who would not have believed in the midst
of so many bTvadOs that the announcement of
peace, and the destruction of the Republic Were
one and the same thing Almost month has
passed since the treaty signed, and the Govern
mcnt still remains tranquil at Queretaro.
And now the enemies of peace go about mena-
cling pronanc1amentos and revolutions against it,
What has become Of that formidable tempest that

ment as soon az the word peace pronounced %
