Mexico TO the 18th ult. being eighteen =,
later than our previous advices. ~
The returns of tie election for PresIdent,
which had just been held were beginning to
come in pretty freely. 1t was not known pos
itively who was elected, though the chances
appear 10 US to be in favor of Arista. though
the DefeasoT of Tampico considers Almon-
ties election certain. Arista, though sup
ported by the whole Government influence,
dId not poll near SO strong us had been ex-
ipected. A guascalentes and some other
places voted for Santa Anna. Arista car
red the State of Tamaulipas, and probably
San Luis Potosi. The State of Mexico has
probably voted for Almonte. Michoacan
went for Gomez Pedraza. Gen. Bravo and
Riva Palacio received a strong support in
many places.
The returns so far look very confused, and
| it is not possible to tell who is elected; The
vote is given by States. and the right of suf-
irage is extremely limited. Should Amon,e
he elected it will be a triumph vf the extreme
Federal or Democratic party, the puros-ea'-
aitCdos, as they are called. Arisa and Ro-
sa belong to the Moderate Republican school
Of politics. Whether the election will result
in a revolution or pa onunciGmiento remains
to be seen, though Judging from the past his
tory OF Mexico such an event would not be
at all improbable. 1t has been said that
Arista would not abide by the election Of
Almonte, but would in such case endeavor
to secure the Independence OF the Northeas-
tern States under the name OF the Republic
of the Sierra Madre. Arista is very popu-
lar in all that section Of country but DIS those
States, viz. Tamaulipas Coahuila and New
Leon, have always adhered 10 the Federal
party, in order TO make head against the
great influence of the capital aud the Cen
! trail Departments, they would have no great
reason TO complain of the election of Almonie;
identified as he is with their principles.
/ The 10Th of September. the great Next
can anniversary, was celebrated with great
lpomp.
Tie Mexican Government has taken the
alarm at the movements Of the Indians on
1.-The Northeastern frontier. Arisia, the Sec
rotary OF War, has issued kind of general
order in which he alludes TO the treaty of
Guadalupe Us binding the United States to
keep the savages from making incursions
into the Mexican territory. He then says
that the United States is engaged in driving
the Indians out of all that territory which
formerly belonged to Mexico, and that the
elected sgvages will come within the Mex-
can limits. and.after getting a ioot-hold under
preience Of amcable intentions. will vent
, their ferociiy upon the deienceless inhab-
tants. On this account no Indians are on
any account TO be permitted TO cross the 'front.'
Ter. In another document Arista quotes the
words of the treaty and calls on the Presi-
dent 10 bring il TO the notice oil the United
States in order that our Government may
comply with its obligations.
The State OF chihuahua and Durango are

condiiion. Each State is 10 provide and
equp for the campaign 500 men, and during
their absence on duty the interior is TO be de-
: tended by the National Guard.
The Monitor Republican,, the official or
gan of the Mexican Government alludes to
10 the statement that in April last an agent
OF the Southern States visited that capital
incogniio, in order to propose plan of a con-
federation between Mexico and The Southern
States. The Monitor denies on authority
this statement. asserting thai it is false from
beginning to end that the Government was
unaware even OF the existence OF shch an
agent; that consequently the plan alluded TO
: never wa 5 proposed to the Mexican Cabinet (;
was never discussed therein. and that the
British Minister never has addressed word
10 the Mexican Government on SUCH sub
ject. Thus this wonderful story falls TO pieces.
