Mexican Affairs.

PROSPECTS OF REVOLUTION.-The republic
of Mexico has been caricature upon the name
from the first day of its existence to the present
day. From one revolution to another it has
fluctuated between the terrors Of anarchy and
rigors of despotism. 1t was hoped that the
late thorough chastisement administered upon
it by "los Yankees" would be vastly beneficial
in cooling down the warlike propensities Of the
army, and the inflated pride and ridiculous
bombast of the military heroes, in introducing
something of the real elements of q true repub-
lican system, and Of the improvements and in
situations of truly republican people. But
the subsequent history Of ill-starred and be-
| 'nighted Mexico is the same old story of cor
| rupt clergy, corrupt politicians, corrupt army,
| a degraded people, and bankrupt State. We
have the same official corruptions continued as
existed before; and the only change in the
country appears to be such an increase of its
debts, will only hasten the foreclosure of the
mortgages upon it, and the division of its assets
that is its territories, among the assignees.
Our last advices from Mexico confirm this
gloomy picture in all its dismal colorings. 1t
is generally conceded that President Arista has
proved himself wise, prudent, and enlightened
executive-it is apparent that his policy and his
system of measures for the improvement Of the
country and the development of its resources
would benefit the people, and, if properly fol-
lowed up, would soon relieve the treasury of
its endorsements But instead of receiving
laid and comfort" Arista, it appears is re-
duced to the revolutionary necessity of body
guard of dragons to protect himself from as
sassination. The demand Of Mr. Doyle--the
peremptory demand Of Mr.. Doyle-for some
thing towards the payment of that enormous
debt due to England, has not mended matters
in the least degree On the contrary, the last
conducta of silver due from the interior, on this
account, had not arrived. Every
thing in short, in the country, indicated rapid
downhill tendency to revolution, dissolution,
and the extinction of Mexican independence.
The intrigues of the Santa Anna party for a
in his behalf, and for his return
upon such a call, to the dictatorship, in which
intrigues the British agents in the country ore
probably implicated, are, no doubt, at the bot
tom of all those difficulties. At all events, the
prospects Of q revolution are very fair; and
the return of Santa Anna, we have every rea-
son to believe, will be the first result of rup-
ture with Arista.
At such a crisis, it is important that Mr..
Letcher should be at his post; and we are,
therefore, gratifed to hear that he has left, en-
route for the Mexican capital. Who knows but
that the foreign creditors Of Mexico may re-
| quire the interpretation of the Monroe doctrine
Of foreign non-intervention in the domestic
affairs Of our neighbors.

A MODEL SEonErARY!-"O Observer" cor
respondent in this city Of the Boston Bee, thus
discourseth:
Among the popular members of the present
popular cabinet, permit me briefly to allude to
Mr.. Corwin. The course of this gentleman is
truly admirable. In the temporary absence of
the President, and the distinguished Secretary
of State, Mr.. Corwin fills his important post
with consummate ability. His great aim evil
IDENTIFY is, to do justice. TO the truth Of this the
thousands Of applicants for appointments, COM
ing under his parview, must ever bear witness.
He has been heard to say that his greatest anx-
iety, just now, arises from his extreme desire
to render "equal and exact justice to all, in
the matter of public Office.
A little scene that recently occurred in Mr..
Corwin's private room is worthy Of record
Enter Clerk, who occupies subordinate
post.
Mr.. Corwin.--" Well, my friend, what do you
want?"
Clerk" Sir! / want better room, less
work, and more pay"
Mr.. Corwin.-" Do you ? That speech sounds
well. Suppose you repeat it over again"
Clerks Sir want better room, less
work, and more payw
Mr.. Corwin.-" That will do, sir. will con-
slider your case.n
Clerk retires, and the honorable Secretary
proceeds with the public business.
1t is said that the case of the clerk was a
really deserving one, and Mr.. Corwin did him
what he clearly intends to do every one--ample
justice. No upright man, certainly, could ask
any thing else.
