MEXICO Thursday, Oct. l9, 1854.
The Government papers inform us that end has
been put to the revolution in the northern depart
ments and that the insurgents have been driven
across the Rio Grande but it still continues In the
South and West, and has even penetrated INTO tue
department Of Mexico and into the interior, where
robberes have become more frequent which, it is
said, is done by the insurgents. Robberes III this
city are also becoming more frequent but letters

and cruel manner acts worse than ever mas Deeh re-

the North The letters state that band Of fortytwo
persons has been carrying this assassination and
destruction for six months past, and that they have
now increased TO two hundred. The Government,
according TO it's own papers, commenced last year this
kind of warfare although not TO the extent OF cruelty

The French prisoners taken under RaOusset at
Quay amas, have been sent to the castle of Peroe,
and some of the papers here recommend the Gov
erfment 10 pardon them and put them at liberty;
they also recommend that the Mexicsns who have
been banished should be permitted to return to their
country and the official organ replies that IT IS true
that the revolution is nearly at an end, but that 1t
will not answer TO allow them 10 return, aud al the

report was prevalent here for some time that
Santa Anna was to have received some vessels OF
war from the Spanish Government to blockade the
coast Of the Pacific This has been prevented by the
revolution in that country and il appears nov that
he has chartered Hamburg steamer on that coast
for the purpose.
The plan Of introducing so many SpaRisrds into the
country and army has been very unpopular The
French from San Francisco have not been true TO the
Government; Santa Anna will not have anything 70
do with the Yankees, and cannot well trust 10 Mexi-
cans after shooting banishing and prosecuting them

in order 10 uncertainties; that his situation
is becoming every day more precarious and there
has been trouble in the wigwam, TO judge from the
long and tedious Cabinet Councils that have taken
place of late The Un,rersai which is the conserva-
tive Government organ, announced, few days ago
that il is disturbance which some intriguing persons
wish TO create in the Cabinet but that the

unite TO support its principles; since that, in its
editorial, ii talks against the mpoicy of convokng

that Louis XVI lost his head by cedng to the popu-

the streets Of Paris with grapeshOt; and, after mani
Testing great uneasiness for several days past It
quietly tells the public that the President has informed
the Governors that nothing has happened, that he
had not any intention Of changing his Cabinet, and
ing suppose long as II may be possible foe II TO
do so; because the public s not contented. and the
conservative party has received severe shock
II is true we do not know all the particulars of the
case but we know that some Of the old friends of
Santa Anna, not belonging 10 the party in power,
have told hm, that unless he changes his ministry
and bis present policy, be will most probably be sac
rifced, as Yturbde and GIerriero have been before
him, by the same party. To any kind Of change it
appears his ministers opposed and the Chief Of
the Order of Guadalupe is therefore yacillatng I'M

Still as they say there is lite monev to be pick

complained Of his helping himself to some OF the pub
lie revenue and certainly his great avarce and am
bition to command, which appear to have increased
with his years, have overcome the better qualities Of
his mind One thing is certain that the present state
OF affairs cannot last great while longer, and how
this country is 10 from the state of anarchy
which this party has placed il in, il is diff
cult TO comprehend, for nearly the whole population
will be aroused and in disorgaDized state; war OF
castles may take place. which has sometimes been
talked Of and has taken place in ucatan and the
murders and robberies will be more frequent than
ever matter Of course The United States, when
il had possession here, might have kept the couotry
as territorial dependency with little or trouble and
no expense, until fit occasion 10 annex il; they
would have had then the lsthmus Of Tehusntepec
with several other short routes 10 pass 20 the Pacific
they would also have acquired the Island of Cuba
with more facility and would have set At rest for ever
the question of Europeso interference IN that part of
the world which now Is still open To them In case
these terminate speedily their own differences in
Europe il is than probable they Will turn their
united attention 10 this Gulf and this country, pos
sessing so many natural advantages so msny differ
ent climates and such varied and rich resources
which its inhabitants unfortunately unable 10 turn
10 any proper advantage and which Others therefore,
sooner OF later must do.
