. suspicioa has fallen upon COmOnfOrt OF at least
having un6rm faith in the complete success OF the
revolution and of being inclined 10 the opposition.
t}ut Gen Alvarez in his manifesto, states that ne
l.s unlimited confidence III him, and win tne
greatest happiness deposits the Presidency IN nls
hands Alvarez gives as the reason OF ms resig
nation the feeble state of his health, but 1t 10 well
kuown that the principal causes are as have
stated above.
Previous TO resignng and naming ComOniOrt as
his successor he revoked the decree he had made
for the substitution of the President, in case of
resignation or otherwise, by the Council OF Gov
eminent fearing, probably, that they would not
nppoint Comonfort and that in that case he would
openly ion the retrOgradists to place himself III
peyer and cause renewal OF the late revolution
sry struggle. or il may be that in reality he has
the confidence ne says he hes in him. This act,
however gave ofense 10 the Council, who, when
cited the day after the resignation Of Alvarez
fl0th). 10 swear Comonfort into Office, refused TO
administer the oath to him on the ground that as
this appointment cOrrespOnded to them they
would, by administering the said oath, acknswl-
edge an illegal act. SO the matter was deferred
until the following day, when the oath was admin
istered BY the Supreme Court.
The resignation of Alvarez, as before said, has
infused the greatest uneasiness in the minds OF the
Liberal party, and the press Immediately insisted
on the publication, at once, Of the plan, or pro
by the new Administration, and insist still more
that there shall be no swerving from the reforms
proposed. demanding also that the new law abol-
ishing the privileges of the clergy and the military,
by subiecting them to the jurisdiction of the ordi
nary tribunals with the few exceptions named in
said law, shall remain in force.
The Liberal press are satisfied with the new
Cabinet, which is composed Of the following
persons:
Don Luis de Ia Rosa, for Foreign Affairs.
Don Ezequel Monies, for Justice.
Don Manuel Sesco for Colonization and FomeAiO.
Don Jose Marin LafTagua, for Interior
Don Manuel Payne for Finance.
Don jose Maria Yahez, for War.
The following extracts are from the manifesto Of
Gen Alvarez on leaving the Government:
sThe enemies of order and public tranquility, those
who desire q reaction, viii endeavor to divide ana
cause enmity among us; they will do nothing to aid
M 10 get on unedy because we both T.. e. Alvarez
and ComOnfort have only one aim, which IN that for
the public welfare; only desire, which Is to see
country prosperous and happy one only ambition,
which il to aspire TO that glory which only those who
free a nation from oppression, without delivering 1t
over 10 the horrors of anarchy, can attain.
"Let not the true friends of Liberty fear that my
successor will seek support from P"rty Pi'v"dJ '""-
su;shed by the revolution, and which has ever been
imnacabe in lis prosecutions and atrOc0us IN It's ven
yesnce too well do Gen. COmOnfort and myself know
that il that party should again triumph III the kepub-
Nc we shall be the first victims sacrificed TO MS fury.
Neither let the friends Of Liberty fear that my worthy
successor in the Government of the Republic Will for
get for one moment the programme OF the revolution,
which consists in realizing IN our country impcr'
tant improvements and radical reforms, although
the unjust exemptions of some privileged classes be
opposed to them These reforms Will be made with
iustice prudence and premeditaon, and by means OF
them the melancholy condition OF the abonous class OF
society I'm our countTy-the most numerous the most
rommen dabe, and who on account OF the injustice OF
ages are now wTetched and reduced to poverty-wlli
be very greatly improved.
He thus recounts the labOrs of his short admins
trstion:
"But little has been done during my Administrations
compared 10 what proposed to myself for the bencht
of the people; nevertheless, national Government,
center of unity for all the Republic has been esab-
hsAed; Constitutional Assembly has been cOnvoked,
and viii soon be elected; great number OF laws,
made under the Dictatorship TO The enormous prcju-
dice of the people, have been repesled some con-
tracts of great amounts entered into by the absolute
Government and ruinons TO the treasury, have been
avoided. In the Department ofFinaucc, important
dispositions have been dictated for the
Of morality economy and oder the army, which TO
have mainta aimed in the numbers in which 1t was would
have alone deyoured the O the nation, has
been considerably reduced some thousands of military
commissions, of which the DictetOs was 20 prodgal
TO the ruin Of the revenue have been onned and the
national militia is being Organized in IL, Districts Law
for the administration Of justice hts been given and
reforms have been made in that peci which, in our
country, the civilization of the age demanded; and
finally, the Cabinet, which, during my administration
have served their country with loyalty and patriotism
could not do all they desired to do viii deny that
their intentions have been good and that they have
done much, when the difficulties of al kinds they have
had necessarily to struggle against are taken into con-
sideTation.'
The Sislo has the following remarks in refer
ence to the above:
"If more was not done il was not the fault Of the
President. His Cabinet could not agree, nor had they
activity. The circumstances also are 40 difficult the
