meeting, and it s TO be hoped on all accounts that
their endeayors will he successfu!. Both parties
are men of undOubted bravery and cannot rinse il in
either public or private estimation by resort to

frank confession OF mutual error
The foreign legations here have received their
private advces from Mexico, which furnish no
more encouraging prospect than il to be found in
the published intelligence. They represent the con-
ditlOn OF things as gloomy IN the extreme with no
immediate future which presents a safe or practi-
cal solution to the existing state Of anarchy. The
revolution which deposed COmonfOrt was az much
social as political, and. while it was fastened by
the power and hostility Of the Church. the question
OF races played "a important part in the drama
now at any other Of the many times which it has
been mCOted since the Spanish conquest. The pure
blood and the mixed blood were in violent antago-
nism ranging themselves under other standards TO
renew the ancient feUd with creased rancOr from
q temporary truce. The substance and wealth OF
Mexico too had taken the alarm at Comoniorts IN
novatiOOs, which. considering the people WIN
whom be had to deal, may have been pushed Win
reckless haste and ndiscreet policy.

.Juarez. the Chief of the Supreme Court, is Pres.
dent under provision of the Constitution, and at
tho last accounts efforts were in progress to bring
about a compromise to which he and the Cover
ners Of several Of the States were to be parties by
which a Constitutional President might be chosen,

There are therefore two Governments claiming

Ministers had recognized that of ZulOaga are errO-
neous They recognized his as the existing author
ity ia the capital, and no more. Their letter was
diplomatic, aud designed to be so, as means OF

No information has yet reached here as to
whether Gen. Robles is to be continued in the posi-
ton which he now fills so creditably to Mexico, and
so aceeptaby to our Government and people. Being
a man of mark at home and one likely to play
conspicuous part in the important drama there, 1t
may be considered desirable to prOlOng the political
exile to which he has been consigned through diplO
matte distinction. The ambitious leaders in that
distant country think that there are competitors
enough already for the high honors without recalling
one who might be more formidable than any OF
then. Gen. Almonte has been transferred to
France from England, leaving vacancy open to
some enterprising patriot who would like to put
the ocean between him and the roar of revolution.
Poor Comonfort is cheated with the idea which
affects some of our aspiring heroes in another way,
that heis to be called back to take charge OF Gov
