Translated from La Patrie of the I'd of December]
For some months past not single steamship has
arrived from the United States, that has not borne
to us the most deplorable intelligence from Mexico.
EVERYTHING goes to augur that before long some
great change will take place in the internal constitu-
ton, and in the very existence OF the Mexican con-
federation.
Not only is Mexico prey to anarchy, Of which no
idea can be givennot only do entire provinces raise
the standard Of revolt against the central government
and institute revolutionary ADMINISTRATORS 70 winch
they render obedience and pay taxes but still more,
it would be difficult to name one OF the great powers
with which Mexico maintains political and CONNER
cial connexions, who has not the gravest complaints
the old and the new world, England France and the
United States have reason to make upon Mexico de-
mands as Just as they are pressing.
England, for long time back, has demand on
behalf Of the carriers Of Mexican goods. France
has right to demand PREPARATION for the 0utrages
to which her citizens have been subjected, and to
exact indemnities for the losses they have sus.
Of what remains unpaid to them since the last war,
are in litigation with her the subject of the con-
cession Of the Tehuantepec route, in which Ameri.
can contractors find themselves preJudiced IN conse-
ouence of the refusal of sanction opposed by Con.
gress to past treaty with government In this way
the condition. interior well as exterior, OF Mexico
presents inextricabe embarrassments, even for am
administration as strong and as integent as mat Of
this unhappy country is feeble.
Evidently such state Of things cannot endure
and we may momentarily expect TO see rise some
great event which will completely change the pre-
sent order of things rather the disorder to which
the Mexican confederation is prey.
In the expectation Of such an eventuality, which
we consider as near, some precise information on
the present position Of Mexico may be interesting
The Mexican confederation occupies territory of
eight hundred thousand square miles, lying on two
oceans-the Atlantic and Pacific The population
amounts to eight millions Of souls, thus divided
among different races:4, 354,8 1856 Indians, 2165 345.
mulattos, $500 negroes, 100000 whites.
As to the financial resources Of the country, they
are notwithstanding the fertility If the soil and it's
proverbia mineral wealth, much under the charges
which Mexico has incurred, as may be seen by the
following account made according to the most pre-.
else information
