MExIco.-The condition Of Mexico
at this time is actually appalling. Its
government is powcrless among con-
tending factions, led on by petty chief
tains who hold power by means Of
their armed followers. Civil war and
its concomitant horrors RACES all over
the country. Battles and skirmishes
are Of frequent occurrence in the streets
Of its cities. Property is only held by
the tenure Of superior force. Law
cannot be enforced, and generally a
more miserable, distracted and anar-
chial country and people can scarcely
be imagined to exist. II this state OF
things continue until the meeting ofour
congress in December, Senator Hous-
tons proposition for the establishment
of . U. s. Protectorate over Mexico
cannot fail to receive much more at
tention than when introduced, and may
become q measure Of necessity in self
defence.

Your petitioner states that since the

other and different distractions than
those set forth in the answer Of the
said defendants, and that they have
prepared and have now in readiness
near said Bridge, several large cribs Of
hewn timber, part with triangular star
lings, securely holted together; not at
al suitable, nor could they be used in
their present shape, for making Golfer
dams, nor to make the additions de-
scribed in their answer.
And your petitioner is informed and
verify believes, that the said defend
ants contemplate soon sinking the said
cribs in the bed Of said river, some
