Affairs OF McKee,
ORIZAvA.
From the Universal Mexico, octobsr al
The reports now confirmed that within very few
days the pronunciados, or insurgents, are again to
attack this Ill fated COMMUNICATIVE fsmilies are
daily leaving the district, fearing aud with good
reason that the conflict viii be st more bloody
and sill more disastrous than the last The gov
eminent must strive by every means in its power to
put an end to the anarchy that has already too long
desolated tho province Of Vera Cruz. The course
OF the government with regard to that State has
been the occasion of much censure and much crit
cism whether with reason or not we shall not pre-.
tend to decide 1t is, however singular that forces
should be .eDt to Michoacan, and noneto Vera Cruz
ny this difference! We have also been inf0r med,
that the State of Puebla has offered its mediation to
that OF Vera Cruz, to cut short in peaceful and
decorous manner, the differences and revolutions
that are now distressing the latter. May Heaven
grant that these good Intentions may have . happy
result
TEHUANTEPEC.
The entry Of Mr. Yanez into the Secretaryship Of
state, leaves vacancy in the commission appointed
by the government to inquire into and report upon
the propositions Of the various petitioning parties
We hope that there will be no delay in appointing
some one to fill his place, and that that person will
be one thoroughly understanding the matter; for
otherwise two months more will certainly be wasted
To much time has already been lost, and it is high
time that this matter should be brought to termi
minati0n.
OUR SITUATION
From the Universal, October Is
We yesterday INDUCED in few refiexions with
regard to the new Minister Of State. Mr. Yanez
We shall to day call the attention of the new Minis
ter to the various intricate questions that are to re-
quire his most particular attention
Let all those who take up cudgels for the present
administration say what they win, there IL one
thing certain: Mexico has never been in situation
as painfully critical that in which she now finds
herself. From our independence to tho present
time, We have certainly made no Roadway in the
route Of progress; but to Mr. Arista and his govern
msnt was reserved the sad honor of introducing
contention with every branch Of government, to
witness, unmoved, the most frightful anarchy, to
complicate the affairs of tho country abroad, to
plunge the nation, in fine, into m abyss whence
none put master hand and powerful, creating
will, can only extricate her.
1t were vain to scan our horizon with the hope to
find one single bright spot, one single star of hope
or consolation. The want Of concord evinced by
the government in its course with regard to the
revolution that has broken out in different parts Of
country, has been productive of all the perncious
effects that were to be expected. The overthrow
Of social order has been most incredibly disregard
ed 80 long a. i was thought that only the local "a
thorties were threatened and the latter have been
utterly disregarded and abandoned. The indiffsr-
ence with which the hostile movements at Jasco
and Mazatan, were viewed, 70 long as they did not
assume decidedly hostile appearance against tho
equally injurious to order and peace-frstly, the
encoursg cement thereby given the party of the revo
luton; and secondly, the want Of confidence which
Mo iocai governments Oegen, ana justly, t0O 70 en-
terrain towards the general government, when they
saw that the latter abandoned them to their fate,
So long as they only were the attacked. And ssdi-
ton, meanwhile, has pursued the tenor of its way,
and the oonaagration spreads into Morslia and We
ra Cruz rises in open sedition. And while this
is going on in the States, the general government Of
the whole nation is under the sad necessity Of com.
ing before the House and Senate with the sad and
shameful confession that 1t is dying of hunger that
it is wholly destitute Of resources, and is at loss
where to lock for any and while the government says
it is, unfortunately, impossible to deny that there
is word OF untruth in this piteous tale, and while
there is but ono cry throughout the land to pro-
claim its incapacity and impotency. what do We
see abroad Tehuantepec, the Spanish conven
tions, the foul question of the two millions and
troubles, dangers and threats. But We will not
enter into details we only point out generally the
serious and multiplied dangers surrounding us, 50
that If Mr.. Yanez has indeed stipulated to be the
minister and not the amanuenss, of the President,
and If it be true that he is to select his own CO.
workers in the cabinet, he may be convinced Of
the urgent necessity Of some remedy, and that this
must be sought for with other men, another policy
and other ideas
We have elsewhere manifested our repugnance
for ministerial programmes We deem them gene
rally useless ard even prejudicial; but situa-
ton is now such that We entreat Of Mr. Yanez TO
come forward, with his hand upon his heart, and
truth upon his lips, to tell the Mexican people what
be intends to do sDd what spirit is to pervade his
administration. This We have a right to require
Confidence is destroyed; respect for the supreme
extinct, or nearly go He must, therefore, be ex
plict ard sibcere no false promises, no empty de-
clamation, no ridiculous threats, no trite, set
phrases, but the truth, and nothing but the truth,
the declaration of the intentions of the govern
ment, and sincere recognition Of its past errors
This the situation demands, and we cali upon Mr..
Yanez to come forward frankly and loyalty if he
does not wish to participate in the opprobrum that
has already fallen upon some persons, and be in
Guided in tue curses of whole people more worthy
OF sympathy than of reprobation or censure.
MICHoAcAN.
The news received from this State continus 10 be
of very alarming character. There is scarcely
community of any importance in the whole province
that has not Joined the standard of Baham onts.
The authority OF Ocampo and his governement, 10
acknowledged nowhere but in the city of Morelia,
which 1t is expected, will be attacked very shortly
by the forces of the insurgents. Those who are
well lnformed pretend that affairs are much N IRE
serious, and threatening in Mchoacan than in
Jalisco.

From the Universal October n
To morrow is the day appointed for the benefit Of
the distinguished artist, Sieffanone The Mexican
public, which is generous in the extreme, even to-
wards those who do not deserve it, will we are sure
give another proof of its regard for its favorite
artist, thee only first rate singer, that has visited
country, and the only one who has kept up the
interest OF the company from the first nights, and
has by her very great merit in a measure atond
for the want OF talent OF the other members Of the
company
Il has been rumored for some days that Signor
Salvl refused to &C. upon the occasion Of this
bebtht. We ourselves said some thing upon the
subject, and Ell o, den repeated what we said. Mr.
salvi has addressed us letter which we elsewhere
give our readers, and i'll which he seeks to free him
self from the charges made against him We for
our part shall merely tell Mr. Salvi, that the fire.
queLcy and TIE occasions of his i,positons have
eIawn the attention of the public too strongly, a1d
that II VIII be difficult matter for him to eff. ICE
the recollection Of his fault and above all Of his
refusal TO perform at Signora Stefanone's benefit
we must, however, to some extent rejoice at the
commission OF this fault, the matter now stands,
the sole attraction to draw the public is Siguora
Stesnone, and will that this celebrated artist
needs the assistances of no one to enable her to
obtain the expression OF appreciation which she and
only che, has Emo rn how TO deserve The following
is the letter from Salvi, alluded to in the above
