The situation of the country is, therefore, serious;
but We will not say that IL is desperate. Doe OF the

It has been said here that there is probability
n the new Constitutions not beng proc laimed-as
least for long time TO cOme-aDd should under
sand from the above editorial Of the HeraidO that
was in reality the intention of the Government 70
defer its proclamation, and, in fact, any grest
sAasge at present is much to be feared. Tbs Gov
eminent il pretty firmly seated now, and it is
feared that the transit from the present state to
constitutional one at this time, would give chance
fr confusion, if not for the complete overthrow Of
the Liberal party.
The opposition have millions of dollars at their
1bsposal, but they have no head-nO person in whom
they can place confidence enough Or in whose hands
Aey may place funds for revolutionary purposes
- command in a military point of view; and this
gives an equal strength 10 the Government. The
two Affairs of Puebla failed because the opposition
lad not the confidence necessary u investther lead
ers with powers or money; the late revolt at San
Luis has shOwn that the leaders Of that affair are
no more than band of ROBBERS and they, Of course
cannot be trusted; and as these together, which
compose the maiDstay Of the opposition, have been
thoroughly disgraced in the eyes even OF the same
opposition, and more especially in public opinion,
it is not IAely they can do anything for long
period yet to come. Were it not for the divisi N
and want of head on the part of the opposiuOn,
meat Of ComOnfort, it would have been overthrown
before now.

Gen. Blsncarte, the Commander General Of

The cause Of this is profound mystery, but it is
reported that he was the point OF starvation,
