MExicAN AFFAIRs-PRosPKcTs OF REvoLU-
TIoN The republic of Mexico has been carica-
ture upon the name from the first day of it's exs-
terce to the present day. From ono revolution to
smother it has Aactuated between the terrors of
archy and the risors of despotism. 1t was hoped
upon il: by +" les Yankees" would be vastly benea-
esl in cooling down the warlko propensities Of the
army, and the inflated pride and ridiculous bombast
Of their military heroes, in introducing something
Of the real elements Of a true republican system,
and of the improvements and institutions of truly
republican people But the subsequent history of
illEtarred and benighted Mexico, is the same cd
story, OF corrupt clergy, corrup. politicians, q

State. We have the same official eorruptons con-
tiIued as existed before; and the only change in
the country appears to be such an increase Of its
debts, as will only hasten the foreclosure of the
mortgages upon it, and the division of its assets,
that lie, its territories, ong 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 enlisht Executiye-it is
apparent that bis policy and his system of mee-
sures for the improvement of the country and
the develcpement of its resources, would be-
neft the people, and if properly followed
up, would soon relieve the Treasury of its enbar-
easements. But instead Of receiving "aid and
comfort, Arsta, it appears, is reduced to the re-
volutionary necessity ofa body-guard of Dragons
to protect himself from assassination. The demand
Of Mr. Doyle-the peremptory demand Of Mr.
Doyle-for something towards the paynent Of
that hopelessly enormous debt due to England, ha,
not mended matters in the least degree. On the
contrary, the last conducta of silver due from the
interior, on this outstanding account, had not
rived. Every thing, in short, in the country, indi-
Gated rapid downhill tendency to revolution, dis
solution, and the extinction Of Me xican indepen-
depce
The intrigues Of the Santa Anna party fer q
pr0nuacionfnto in his behalf, and for his return,
upon such call, to the dictat hip, in which in-
trigues the British agerts in the country are pro-
badly implicated, are, no doubt, at the bottom Of
all those difficulties At all events the prospects
Of q revolution very fair (; and the return Of
San tn Anna, We have every reason to believe, will
be the first result Of o rupture with Arista
At such crisis, 1t is important that Mr.. Let
cher should be at his post and are, therefore,
gratifed to hear that he has left, route for the
Mex capital. Who knows but that the foreign
creditors Of Mexico may require the interposition Of
the Monroe doctrine of foreign noninteryention in
the domestic affairs Of our neighbors.
