PsoaI Nupcio in the southern provinces, where ne

action against The Executive. The public mind
not seeming to be very greatly exercised at this
event, it was thought safe and expedient to baniso
the Nuncio from the country Cemonfort next
publicly demanded Of the Archbishop of Mexico
,ba, be should command the clergy not to meddle
with political matters, and shOuld forbid their e1-
citing the ma.ses to insurrectiousry movemenr'
this demand the Archbishop complied WITH oy ad.
dressing circular to his subordinates. Armed
with this document Comonfort, and at the same
time v,daurri in the north, firmly repressed al
neddlipg of the clergy in forbidden matters. Inc
people rrjoced 90 much at this castigatlon oi 'nen
clerical tyrsnts. that the Government was encour'
eyed to enforce ts crowning measure against the
Church, the sale Of all the properly belonging 70
the religious corporations. As in other Catholic
countries, where such a measure hss been carried
out, we presume the support Of the priesthood Will
hepceforth be provided for by regular Pubhc tax
levied and administered BY the State.
There can be no doubt of tue beneficial conse'
uuences of this action. The Government Will get
rid Of irs financial embarrassment, and with the
overpus Of funds thu. realized the public debt may
be paid, railroads and steamers may be bulr, mines
may be opened schools founded, rivers and hareors
improved, better postal communication secured
and mary other measures Of pablic improvement
carried into effect At he same tiGe the Central
Government becomes independent of the minor
commanders, vidaurri. Frias, Alvarez and Others
who have always retsped the income from the du'
ties in their re.p cye provinces for their indivd-
ual profits and can secure uniform measures OF
public improvement throughout the whole country.
But aft.r all, the great thing gained will be- che
relief of ie poorer classes from slavery and op-
preston, and tteir consequent gratitude to and
confidence in this revolutionary Administration.
