MEXICO.
The latest intelligence from Mexico received
from private sources, goes to show that Santa
Anna has scarcely fewer or less grave dangers
to contend with internally than externally
The latter indeed, if we confine our attention to
those caused by the expedition of Walker. and
the projects Of Court Roausset de Boulbon. are
scarcely as serious as those which are fermen-
ting within the Republic or Empire Reports
continue to be circulated. almost daily. of fresh
pronunciamentos in various States or DEPART
menfs, and although these are officially denied.
no one, not even of those best effected to Santa
Anna, or to the existing order of things, or
mos: opposed to change or disturbance, is salts
fed that the reports are altogether without
foundation. At the same time, it is admit d
that there are many who not only credit them,
but hear them and propagate them with warm
satisfaction; and although it may be thought
that these are treated withtonly lust sarcasm. BY
being spoken of as ''Only such as expect to
profit by revolutions" it cannot be overlooked
that it is precisely and only that themselves
and all may profit by revolutions that men ever
engage in them.
Such is the tate of feeling at this moment in
Mexico, that accompany of troops cannot be
known to be about to move without a report at
enc being circulated that their destination is
some point at which a pronuEciamiento has
been issued. Santa Anna cannot remove from
his estate to the capital, from this to Tacum-
baya, or in any other direction, without his be-
ing uneassily attributed to some similar cause.
Just previously to the sailing of the Texas,
troops in the capital had received commands
to put themselves in marching ORDER and the
report was that they were to 90 to Chihuahua
and Guerrero to put down emeuteS, rumored to
have broken out there The counter statement.
one Of scarcely better indications, was, that
they were destined for Acapulco, at which
place the Count RaouSset de Boulbon was ex-
pected to make a decent, as afforling him bet
ter prospects of success, in consequence of
there being no garrison there.
At the same time, there were reports being
circulated Of pronuncamentos having been
made in other parts of the country.
There are also other difficulties prvailing.-
AL however, that is at present known of what
is looked upon as the next in Importance, does
not seem to be sufficient TO warrant positive
inference OF It's real character or bearing The
fact is that the Pope is reported to have recalled
the Archbishop of the Diocese, in consequence
of unfavorable reports transmitted with respect
to him by the Apostolic Delegate Monsignor
Clement. What little information we have on
the subject would lead to the belief that letter is
well effected towards Santa Anna, and as

on the other hand desiring it, they would only

Archbishop, especially should he happen not 20
belong to the order of Loyola That there is
not much other around of complaint against
him that this, we have what we think will
appear strong presumtive evidence in that fact
that he is spoken of even by the well affected to
Santa Anna, as a preate of eminent enHow-
ments, virtues, talent and benevolence The
report had created no little excitement, and the
Didrjo Official had denied It's truth; but this
denial was received with general incrcdulity
and was looked on as very grave one.
Santa Anna was to have left for the capital
on the Goth; but it is stated as positive fact;
that fear lest his doing so should afford an op-
purtunity for apprehended outbreaks, had IN
duced him to postpone his journey indefinitely.
Certain it is, he did postpone it, and we have
little doubt that the cause assigned is the cor
rect one.
If we add to such facts as these, what we
know to be taking place externally, and not
here alluded to, there is little room to doubt.
even though we admit Mexico to be tranquil at
present, that the crisis through which she nevi-
taby has to pass is rapidly approaching. We
believe, too, that we do Santa Anna 10 more
than justice, when we express our belief
that he also perceives this to be the fact, and is
even now only preparing himself forit. Were
his sagacity somewhat more extended; he would
rather prepare his country for it New Or
