You will have received full of the late attempt
at revolution here The insurgcnt leaders and
captured but crime under purple and fine linen is sell
dom punished here, the leaders imprisoned and no
doubt will be liberated and become horoes while
those poor who not paid into the damp
dungeons Of San Juan de Ulloa, and their Chiefs like
the adventurous hcawber waiting for something
10 turn up. In word, have protection here and
ministers all luled into silence by soft words and
fair promises But the cords that should STATE
together completely broxen-nameiy the spiritual or
ecclesiastical the political and the socia-wherea con-
centratsd they would be s great support but remaining
AZ they are in Fragments each tending destroy the other
the result will only hasten the downfall OF the country
There such thing the elements Of self government
Mexico. She cannot under the present circumstances,
exist as nation for since the late with the United
States ess than eight years ago) has received sa5
600 in CASH and We ask the question: what purpose
has it been sppiieds What great STATE measure has
been sdOpteda We answer Their patiotsm is
plumber and power, and their religion is the same
leading principle; nor are men in power law to
themselves, example those they govern One
thing Is certain they must either under protec.
orate or different raca must be their rules. They are
governed by special law civil or Common moral
or divine their light has gone out If they had any
and their help for them. The whole body polite Is
corrupt and purd aud the remedy does lay in Next

Had Gen Walker any other chief turned his attention
70 this section of Mexico, he would found an easy
conquest One thousand men would have done for him
Having no raance ON the rulers Comonfor down. ~
Of them cannot sign their names those under them
would have focked TO his standard Heavy contributions
are made, but they vanish into air and the exchequer il
AT all times empty.
The next thing we mean to notice-for be known
unto all whom doth may hereafter concern that rea-
ties the tariff to Mexican rulers President generals or
collectors, is nominal document never complied with
only when il may hese hard upon the importer tho
shiprer-is the novel manner in which they collect
the duties The amounts anticipated by the collector
who enters into an arrangement with another party,
whom by dividing the spoil with, he makes subscrveut
10 his purpose, who makes advance, and ne deducs
from the total 40 per cont which secured by the
bonds Of the importers with the Custom House SEAL SO Is
to bind the State and iega'ize the document.
Should the parties be importers they generally are,
and Spaniards, who, outstanding these difficulties still
hold them in leading strings they depreciae tho stocks
under SELL and ruinous loss all importers
Ministers have been consulted and also petitoned on
the subject but they all we'll paid and neither per
sonaly pecuniary Interested 30 that the petitioners
request laid upon the wool sack To be taken up like Fee
hx. at convenien.
The bate OF the party divisions throughout Mexican
republic is knded into flame that supreme gov
ernmen as exists cannot extinguish, Il in is
feeble state enforce any law; and justice is dead
letter and has in either church State who are
against each other but the longest purse
always gains tho church must win the fight and the
State and its heads out Of credit with an empty trea
sury and without troops and officers excepting who
are the implements Of POWER, ebers Of disaection
are daily kinding, and Ccmonfort may lay with all due
humiliation that JUNCTION TO his SOUL that those the Lord
loves he will chasten.
Rumors say that Santa Anna will soon Visit his native
shores. He left his country for ts welfare may
return, but not TO zee It's prosperity. Could you
not say to General Walker that this would be a nice
place TO mako biz winter quarters, and besides
