Tu E r EOLUTION ATsAN END

" u
On Saturday last we received files of papers from
the City of Mexico to the 10th inst from which we
gather the welcome intelligence that peace is almost
completely restored throughout that country. The
Mexican Extraordinary, of the 10th inst, says:
The news from all of the dssfected portions of the
republic is of the most cheering character and the
signs Immediately in this city are still more fattering
The poverty-ridden government of Senor ComOnfort
for its success, is an anomaly in the history Of
Mexico.
At times, when all looked overcast, and single
ray Of hope did not seem left-when the reactionary
party have had all in their own hands in the capital
something has turned up to give the arms of Presi
dent Comonfort triumph He has been saved by a
miracle which has only been wrought by the pecu-
arty of the reforms which have been set foot by
his government There is something in these reforms
that denotes higher intelligence than has ,charac-
terzed any previous rule and their manifest adapta-
blty to the present wants OF Mexico has caused
the enemies of the administration to respect fear
what opposed their interests or political views.
The country in the course of the last three months
has been gradually quetng under the influence of
the prestige of President Comonfort, and by one
the revolutionary leaders have Leen forced to desert
their absurd and wild pretensions, and have either
fallen captiyes OF have fled to parts unknown. The
news which has been received since Saturday is con.
elusive and the country is in condition that she
has not been in for months-it is actually without
revolution. ..-.f... .n0
On the I'd of February conspiracy was discovered
at Morelia, but not much importance seemed to be
attached to it, though measures had been taken to
prevent disorder.
On the 7th inst. decisive action took place in
Queretaro between the Government forces and reac-
tionsts, in which the latter were so utterly defeated
defeated that revolution is considered at end. The
Governor of the department of Qneretaro gives the
following account OF the affair in bulletin to the
Minister of War:
Excellent Sir Driven by hunger and thirst, the
rebels abandoned night before last, their positions in
the Magdalena retreating upon Ajuchltlan aud the
Hacienda of Esperanza, in the direction of this city
The forces of Cen Parrod having noticed this
mement commenced an engagement in the hacienda
OF Iunas Bancas, from whence the enemy being dis
lodged continued their retreat closely pursed and
beaten by the troops of the Supreme Government in
four successive actions yesterday, from five in the
morning until six o'clock at night.
