The revolution in Mexico is now fixed fact but
as yet no one knows which will be the dominant par
ty. The facts Of the case are simply these The
federal troops before Guadalajara were routed by
Gen. Uraga, President Arista resigned Congress
elected Ceballos President ad Interim and he sent
at once communication to the victorious General,
the contents of which have not TRANSFERRED. At the
latest moment the best informed circles believed that
Generals Lombardini and Salas would pronounce in
the city ofMexico in favor of the plan of Guadaajara
and probable supposition is, that Gen. Uaga hav.
ing no enemy to combat, would move at once upon
the capital. The new government had been nearly
three days in office, and not man had been found to
accept ministerial portfolio.
These are significant facts. We do not doubt that
the present constitutional government is Of short
DURATION and that the chiefs will ride into power
in Mexico on the wave of the revolution. The prin
cipes which have been proclaimed by the revolu-
tonists the derogation of Arista because of the
arbitrary tendency OF his government and of the pre-
sent Congress because of its continued disregard
of the necessities Of the country and the elevation
Of Santa Anna as the only man who can give vitality
to the crumbling remnants Of our sister republic.
Who the chiefs who will rule in Mexico, time
only can determine. 1t is hardly probable that
Gen. Uraga, at the head Of victorious army and
the successful leader of revolution will enter into
any kind of a negotiation with President that has
neither army, money, nor ministry. He may walk
into the city OF Mexico at this moment with much
ease, safety, and rapidity as the man whom he has
overturned went out OF it, and we believe he can
organize more effective government than any which
has been seen in that country for many years. To
compete with or to support him, comes Gen. Woll
the friend OF Santa Anna whilom travelling in
Europe, but who on the first advices of the Guada-
laara movement in favor of his old chief started for
Havana in order to be near the scene of events He
is probably by this time within the republic on his
way to the capital.
Last but not least comes Santa Anna whose ca
reer is well known, and whose utter want of every
sentiment except that of SELF and of every principle
except that Of pelf have long since been demonstra-
ted to mathematical certainty. Decidedly the man
of the greatest ability that Mexico has SEEN and the
poestar Of Mexican hopes in time Of trouble; his
name has been invoked by the first promoters Of the
late revolution, and has not been withdrawn by those
who subsequently joined the movement. A special
commission has been sent for him, and we expectere
govern there for time we do not see reason to
doubt
What his policy will be he only can know. His
immediate predecessors have brought the foreign re-
lafions OF Mexico into an exceedingly entangled
state while herinternal resources to have been
completely dried up. With the United States, there
is the difficult and dangerous question of Tehuante
pee; and with England, France, and Spain, the ur-
gent pressure Of acknowledged claims; with the
try itself, the church question, which has within
few years become one Of warm and liberal discus
sion, and the direct taxation and exclusive tariff
questions, which for long time have kept the peo-
pie in ferment.
1t would seem to MS that there is yet life and fu-
ture for Mexico. A liberal and enlightened govern
ment, which could have sufficient confidence in its
strength to off the horde of spectators that
prey upon her vitas, to sell, cede or abandon her
unwieldy and distant territories: to institute liberal
and low tariff for revenue only, and to abrogate the
present system OF grinding exactons from the peo-
system and give new life 70 the body polite. Whe-
ther Santa Anna will do this, time only can deter
mine.
He viii COME Into Powor at this moment with
apparent barTenness, but in reality with fertility of
resource rarely equalled in the history of Mexico
Tehuantepec is good for millions; Sonora and Chi
huahGa, with the riches Of the first and the route to
the Pacific Of the second, are good for milons
new ard low tariff in the present barren state of the
markets OF Mexico, is good for millions; the claims
under the eleventh article Of the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo are good for millions; and the renewed
trade and activity which permanent system of go
vernmcnt in Mexico would inspire in the mining in
terest are good for millions; while the republic cir
cumscnbed, II necessary, TO the south and west of
the Sierra Madre and the northern limits of Durango
and Sinaloa, would have cohesive power such as
she has never hitherto possessed We look with
much interest to the next movements in Mexico
Questions eminenty involved in the future history of
our own country are at stake and we shall closely
