Mexican.

BY the arrival of the brig Tit, on Saturday last,
we are in receipt of files of the Monitor Replbl'-
cano, of the city of Mexico to the 2Ist ut. As far
as the public press of the Mexican Republic is any
indication of the condition of the country, it would
appear that order and tranquility reign supreme
We see 10 further account of the Toluca insurrec-
ton, from which we judge that it is either COM
pleely suppressed has lost its ala rming charac-
ter. The principal question of governmental policy
now, is the tolerance of all religious sects Ell
Monitor advocates the measure; but the clergy are
bitterly opposed to it. "Reminiscences from the
State of Chiapas have been sent in, of which H
Monitor says: GO it is noway surprising that those
who live and thrive upon old abuses should wish to
preserve them The same paper is carrying on
kind of war against the army, of which it remarks
"The American invasion made manifest the
inutility of that collection of men which we
denomnate an army, and convinced all persons OF
good faith, that the greatest calamity which can
befall country, is to place the which are to
serve fr its defence, in the hands of ignorant and
corrupt men, who never love any government or
constitution in permanence, and are Incapable of
feeling that elevated sentiment of patriotism which
makes men sacrifice themselves willingly in behalf
of their country
STATE LEGISLATURES. - The Legislatures of
Zacatecas Durango, and those of most of the other
States organized on the LIST ult.
The people of the State of Mexico continue
raising and RENTING of money for the benefit
of the Yucatecos
We perceive that four fountains are to be erected
in the Grand Plaza of the city of Mexico.
INDIANs.-Durangois still ravaged by the Indians.
They commit the most horrid outrages with the
most perfect impunty 1t seems to that if the
government should not take energetic means for the
suppression of the Indian instruction, the frontier
States must soon be depopulsted. The latest intel
ligence from the revoted Indians of the Sierra
brings nothing new.
Anew paper has been established at Guadaajara,
called Ell Restaurador Its object is to prevent the
spread of socialist ideas.
The elections for deputies to the Legislature of
the State Of Neuvo Leon, took place at Monterey
on the 3lst of December.
GUATEMALA.-The war in "Los Altos con-
tinues with variable success. On the goth of
November the insurgents entered the town of Chi
quimala, where there was garrison of $50 men,
without firing shot, The place was well fortified
and capable of being defended by less number of
troops; but Notwithstanding this they surrendered
all their munitions of war. The number Of the
rebels amounts to about 1000 men, from which it
would appear that the instruction is of serious
character.
On the 9th of November the Guatemalian Con-
gress recommended its session.
Don Jose Bernado Escoba has been appointed
President ad interim of the Republic. Ex-Presdent
Carrera, who was expelled some time since, was at
the Isle of Carmen in the beginning of December;
thence he went to Campeachy, thence to Tabasco,
from which place, On the 23d, he went to Chiapas.
II is suspected by some that he is connecting some
grand revolutionary scheme for procuring the inde
pendence of the States of Campeachy, Tabasco
and Chiapas.
