The country, of csuIse, is still in most 10
settled state, and see no end to i. but with the
fall Of the present Government; and probably
not even then will these Troubles cease. Tais
struggle will, doubtless, be long one, aud the
eventusl success Of the Government IT, 10 al
minds here extremely prober,s1c,, for it is
unpopular, and only sustainS i.se,e where il has
superior, absolute physical force, and moaey,
which is freely spent in its support. Ga the
other band. the leaders of the revolution, though
few ard without soy fixed plan, have the syrnps-
lies Of Gil that are Ios connected with the Gov

herents: are tenacious; and, having thoroughly
embarked in their undertaking will not be liable
to abandon it as long as hope exists OF Success,
OF they have a desire 10 be avenged. The news
papers continue to ann unce new victories by the
Government troops, but we do not perceive shy
diminution of their numbers or resources. They
maintain almost absolute sway throughout the
State Of Guerrero: exist largely in MichOeeen,
and a portion of Mexico; cause frequent
and very serious trouble in Guensjuato; have CIV
en- great annoyance in Tehusntepec; and now,
even Chspas is threatened BY prOnunciamiento.

The Conducta which arrived here on the 18th
inst. from Guanauato with nearly 81 100000
was threateued also by nearly 1000 OF this same
class; but they did not attack it for the want as
is supposed of the necessary arms. Not one Of
the papers has dared 10 mention these facts, but
they are too true.

During the prevaleI ce OF this state OF things,
nothing can be dcne ia the way Of progress by the
peaceful citizen. The minds of the business por-
fon of the community are unsettled, and there Is
not one who will invest capital IN any undertaking
but, on the contrary, endeayors To curtail his
business transactions or, at all events not 10
extend them; thus there is almost complete
