New York, Thursday, january Is, 1850.


Ten DAYS later news has been received nom MeXl-
co. There has been another change in the rulers Of
that country. Our adyices by the Quaker City
gave MS intelligence Of the overthrow of Zuloaga
and the choice of General Robes for President.
Now we learn that President Robes is set aside and
General Miramon elected to the Executive chair in
the city of Mexico. These changes are only in the
men. The two parties remain the same-Juarcz
as the head of the liberals and Miramon rs
the present nominal head Of the church party.
General Miramon, it will be recolected, sue
ceeded Osollos as commander Of the northern d
vision of the army and recently defeated vidaurri
After that victory he went to the capital in hopes
of becoming President. Failing for the time, in
that intrigue, he returned to the army, where he
was when the wheel Of fortune turned in his favor.
While these movements are going on in the city Of
Mexico indicating growing weakness in the
church party, the liberals are making arrangements
for grand coup early in the spring.
