ton Of the plan Of Ayuss in this capital-snce the
downfall Of the worst Of tyrspnes and tho con.
mencement of brighter era in the Mexican Re-
public. Though internal dscord has not yet wholly
ceaeed, though many evils are yet uncrushed, the
march is onward and the triumph OF the people
over despo,ism-the sruege of n7w ideas against
old abuses and prejudces-blds fair 10 be attended
with happy consequences. There Was much IN do,
much to cont. nd against; and, if al has not been
gained, lopr stride has been made in advance;
and notwithstanding We feel ths Efforts OF the Con-
seryatye faction 70 thwart the attempts at con.
tIutd progress, We have reason to believe the po-
stion now held by the Liberals will be firmly main
taiDed
The Sglo of the 10Th thus remarks, in hssty
review Of the events of the past year:
"The law-Juarez is a consumnate fact; the juris-
dction snd privileges Of the clergy aud military have
disappeared for ever and they Iemsn excluded from
the eXtrcife OF political fupctons the Constituent As
s.mbly, promised by the plan of Ayutla, commenced
th il sbors amid the reaction att. mpted at Puebls:
the budget has been dimLisbed the tariff has con-
cedtd immunities TO commerce; the army does not
now absorb all the substance Of the people; many
odious Mposts bsve disappesred monopoies have
ceased localities have recovered their liberty, and
they unfcld the elements OF their prosperity;
public opinion has been enlightened on many grave
questions, and every thing announces that before long
the couItry will be stored TO constitutional order.
The alteration OF the property Of civil and eccesias-
tical cOrpOrotons is being carried into effect and this
reform vii greatly improve the situation OF the
country
Until should arrive at Constitutional ORDER the
country desie1 rapid ard radical reforms; hence the
establishment Of Dictatorship supported by the ns
tiOnal representation The powers that now exist
YOU'D fai in their duties if they hoad abdcate their
revolution ary Mission III the true sense of the word,
that il to say their nirson of reform and progress.
What have they to fear when they can count upon the
gOs of tue people If the law-Juarez tnat de-
privLg the clergy and military Of their jurisdiction and
privegesl and the law Lerdo alternating the Church
property cOnsunmsted facts, it not possible to
60 step further in order 70 make of oery and
at emsrclpae TIE people from their oppres'ors,
ard realize the hsppiRess of country 20 richly en-
oowed by the prooigal hand of Providence! The
Liberal party to r.aze their theories in Mexico, to
convert them into practical facts, do not need much
bOlc bess for Resistance is every day more and more
feeble all they want is constancy, consistency, aud
fal h 10 their own prime pes.'
Nevertheless it is not to be supposed that the
defeated faction will not make other attempts to
get hold Of power again, and strive, for the gratif
cation of their own private interests, to restore
oppression here with all its horrors. They are
constantly at work and every possible means are
endeavOred to be put into operation to ALLEVIATE the
feelings of the people frOm the present Govern
ment, and to suppress their hopes. They are now
actively employed, mainly in the States of GUIANA
juatO and Jallsco There the masses are less
enlightened and they hope to operate with greater
success. Seven of the most active agents Of the
enemies Of liberal principles were banshed from
this sity On Sunday mOrDng, 18th inst. They were
discOy cred and arrested in the dead Of night while
engaged it is said in their nefariOus work. Their
names are Suarz NardrrO, Gen. RomulO de la
Vega (whO WAS lately imprisoned at Perote for
oisrespectful conduct toward the Government),
Salas the elder the Prior of the Dominican Con-
vent, Gen. Blapco (Minster-Of-War upder Santa
Anna), Z. Manuel GambOa, and tie Canon Cadena

Texas on her present trip
To the surprise of everybody the 18th article Of
the Constitution was put TO vote on the evening OF
the 9Th inst, just after lab0red effort against 1t
on the part OF the Government by the Minister of
Justice, Mr. Monies he stating rs the principal
objection of the Government that religious teller
ance was in opposition to the wishes of great
majority of the people, aud therefore inexpedient
1t was lost (but not fnay) by vote OF % against
il to A in favor. Mr.. PretO, one of the principal
champions in favor of the measure at first, with
bis usual Mexican consistency, couple OF days
afterward voted point blank against it. There is
yet hope left, for the vote was not final, and the
article has been returned to the Committee for
reformation, aud will be discussed again. The
way they do here is as follows: After they decide
that bill las been sufficiently discussed the
question is put as to whether they shall proceed to
final vote for adoption or rejection. If the
Chanbe decide against taking the final vote, the
bill returns to the Committee who reported 1t (as
in the case Of the 18th artcle) if in favor, the
bill 10 then voted upon, and rejected or adopted
finally, as the case may be.
Z The result of this was taken much at heart by
the Liberals On the vote being announced, there
was great uprOar in the galleries. The audience
rOse, and some hOOted, others hissed and cried
shame. Amidst all and above all were heard cries
Of rira la Religion, &c. The disorder was 50
great that the Chamoer had TO adjourn immediate
ly. The day following there was no session, for
want of quorum. The Monitor was in the Dumps
the SigtO was silent, and the French papers, the
Trah Union and L'IndependaSt, were bitter. The
succeeding day, however, Congress assembled and
conn eneed the debate on the articles next in
oreer; but the SESSIONS have been less frequent
al there is less mpressement but notwithstanding
much has been said and something done. The re-
suit OF their labOrs up to the present is as foows
the present articles having passed by large ma
jorllies:
