In the midst of another revolution. But all the
late accounts are SO contradicting and imperfect
that at present it is impossible to ascertain how
far and with what prospect of success, the reyo-
lutionary movement, under Gen. Alvares, has
proceeded. The accounts, however, make out
that Alyares had got between Santa Anna and
the Capitol, cut off all his supplies, and reduced
him, through the dieeases in his camp, and the
constant desertion of his troops, to nearly
hopeless condition. The ten million, however,
which the Gadsden treaty is to give him, may
enable him to retrieve his fortunes. We won
der if there IL not some other broken down ty-
rant that the Administration may hunt up to
assist in crushing liberty with the millions Of
Uncle Sans Republican Treasury. If there is,
il will be sure to be done.
Loss OF HAMAN LIFE.-The annals of no year
since our remembrance can compare with those

Pit in Richmond, Va, last week on Wednesday,

they will remember the printer.
