MEXICO, Friday, Oct 5, 1855.
A couple of weeks ago General Alvarez, the
recognized chief of the revolution, named the
electors in accordance with the plan of Ayutla
10 represent the different States and Territories in
the election of President ad interim, Of this re-
public, and they were notified to meet at Cuer-
navaca-a town twenty leagues south of this city
on the 4th inst yesterday, when the election
was to take place. The principal candidates are
Alvarez Comonfort La Lave, and Vidaurri. We
do Lot know the result yet, as there was not
sufficient number of electors present; but it is
expected the election will be held to-day 1t is
probable Alvarez or Vidaurri will be chosen
Comonfort was thought to be the most popular
aspirant a short time since, as we'll as the most
staunch of the Liberals, and also one possessing
determination to carry ont to the fullest extent
the reforms proposed by the revolution, of which
he has been, next to Alvarez, the most active and
resolute sustainer but since his union with Haro
v Tamsriz of San L uis, who was till lately, Con-
seryatye he has lost something OF his prestige and
wounded The hopes of the advocates of true reform
in Mexico . en-
Tn order to be perfectly clear it will be neces-
sarv 70 cast a glance backward on some past
events. You must know that upon the abdlcat0n
of Santa Anna the liberal party was perceived to
be divided into two viz: that OF Alvarez, Comon-
fort and Others on this side of the Republic, and
tbat of Vidaurri on the north. Beside these there
were the Carrisons of Mexico and San Luis ready
TO ioin or oppose either, as suited their Interests.
The party of Alvarez was aud still is believed to
he the most numerous Of the liberals. They pro-
elaine the plan of Ayutla. Vidaurri, on his part,
had the voice of three States, Nuevo Leon Coahui-
Ia and Tamaulipas and had plan OF MS sOwn,
openlg procaiming the reformation of all the prin-
cipal evils that have afflicted the country for so
many years 1t appears that the plan of Ayutla is
not defined enough for him, still he has said nothing
against II as yet. The great reforms in this latter
are principally left to inference
Now Haro TamariZ, who lately protested to
he a Liberal, caused hmsefto be chosen as the
head of the revolution in San Lms Potosi after
Santa Anna had left, and the whole garrison OF tnat
Citv went over to him, and he proclaimed plan
S;strct from that of Vidaurri and Alvarez He
fben Immediately commenced with his endeayors
20 draw other States into his schemes, but failed
His next effort was TO gain Nidaurri and Comon-
Eort From the former he met with signal re-
pulse and the latter, in his communications 10 an
swer TO his (Haro's) invitations, steadily refused
10 come under his plan (called that oil san Lulsl
dissected and criticised 1t IN mastery manner
showing Haro Tamariz how utterly tmPosS'cS IL
was for him to join him, or admit that pan OF oau
fbeless. Uaro Tamariz, in union with the Gov
ernor of Guansiuato, went to see Comoniort VINO
was on his way to Mexico), but took care to place
"a force of two thousand men on the road. Inc
conference between them took place at Lagos ana
The result ,cas that COm0ntort agreed that me pan o.
San Luis Potosi did not conflict an the teas' o'M
that of AuEtld So they united their forces ahd are
now on their way to this city.
Vidaurr is now alone with his three States ana
stiIl manifests a determination to consummate
there the reforms he fret proposed, happen Whst
NAV in other parts al the country
The conduct of Gen. Vega, the commander OF
the armed forces of this city and district, mss ior
some time been of vaclllatlng ana suspicious
character, and has convinced all penetrating
minds that he has never been sincere IN dis Protes
tatons in favor Of the revolution, AMI that other
influences are at work with him than with the
chiefs Of the revolutionary cause. On the l4tn o!
August last when he thought he was stronger than
the people, he varied the plan he the day before
had sworn to adopt and support but, upon nndmg
out his mistake, when Carrera resigned he went
hack 10 his former position. But now that the
troops who are the machines of the Conservatives,
have been concentrated here from all quarters TO
the number of about twelve thousand men, he
throws off the mask and refuses openly to obey the
orders Of his acknowledged chief On the 18th
nit an order was sent TO Gen. MiIon, the govern
or of this district by Alvarez, TO reestablish the
national guard, and ordered Vega 70 deliver the
necessary arms to arm them. Upon this the
latter few into rage and refused to
obey, point blank, resigned his post, DE,
ivered his command to another and sent word oil
the fact to Alvarez The council of the govern
ment of the district and the corporation did the
same The latter bodies, however perceiving
probably that the army would lose the favorable
position they held by Vegas precipitancy waited
upon him, stating that be and they had sworn 70
support the plan Of Ayutla, and that that instru'
