The Revolution In Mexico--Vhe Alvarez
Party about to- Advance upon the Capital.
Although we are no great believers in the
energy OF Mexican revolutions, the complexion
OF The news received yesterday by the George
Law iLclires US TO the opinion that Santa
Aana is just Low in bad fix. He has spent
the seven nillions which he received from us,
and which were 20 bolster up the lettering edi-
ilce Of his power--the Yucatan Indian slave
traffic has turned out an Improbable specula
tion-and, iu short, he is without money, with
ont credit, ard without popularity, and, to
crown bis dificulties, his army is daily pro-
nouncing against him. lie could not expect
Iess when his funds fell short-.poiat d'argent,

What resource is left for him but fight,
should Alvarez carry into effect bis contem-
plated advance upon the capital, it is difficult
to say. He is too cowardly to commit suicide,
ard initiate the tragic end, as he has initiated
the foalies and the vices of some of the worst
Of the old Rom an rulers. Against force
such as it is said Alvarez will take with
him, and which will, in all probability,
time it reaches the city Of Mexico, it will
be useless for him to thiIk of contending.
The detection Of such men as Generals Moreno
and Zuloaga in whom the army have conf
dence, will have disastrous effect upon bis in
terests. Their names were Of more Importance
to him than the actual number Of soldiers whom
they carried over to the revolutionary party
There is no doubt that their example will be
extensively followed in all the districts ia which
the Alvarez party have an opportunity of
coming in contact with the regular troops.
Thus, unable any longer to corrupt and intimi-
date his enemies, OF to preserve the loyalty of
his own troops by the liberality of his gifts, the
Dictator will, one of these days, suddenly find
himself deserted by his Pratorian guards and
a mark, perhaps, for the intults and vindictive-
ness Of the rabble Of his own capital.
For The latter eventuality, however, Santa
Anna il not the man to wait. He has always
exhibited "the better part Of valor," and when
he sees that there is no longer any chance of
his avertina the dangers that threaten him, he
will do as he has always done-turn his back
upon them. Ambitious as he is of the glory
Of imperial rule, he has no appetite
for any of its dangers He would
rather initiate the prudence of Charles the
Tenth ard Louis Philippe than the frmness of
Charles the First and Louis Seize. He has
royal precedents for taking to his heels, and
right royalty will he initiate them.
II IS an evidence of the strength and con-
fdencs Of the revolutionary party that they
have arranged beforehand their political pro-
gramme. Alvarez is to be named President
pro tenn, and either Senior Ceballos or Don Ig-
nacius Comonfort is to be his successor. Any
one Of these three gentlemen will, we have no
doubt, prove acceptable to the country, as
they have all given proofs of their enlightened
patriotism and devotion to its interests. From
what have stated it vii, hn en~. t'"t sho
movement is now thoroughly organized, and
holds out the strongest hopes Of success. We
may, therefore, expect at any moment to have
stirring news from Mexico. Who knows but
that San Anna himself will be the bearer Of the
intelligence?
