The Condition OF Mexico-Mr. Forsyth's
PIopoxed New Boundary.


PHopoxed New Boundary.
Our correspondence from Mexico, which we
publish elsewhere today gives a full and graphic
report of the state of affairs in that unhappy re-
public.
1t may be summed up in few words. Presi-
dent Juarez was at Vera Cruz endeavoring to
combine general movement against the centre,
by the several leaders at different points on the
circumference of the republic who recognise the
constitutional rule. General Alvarez was at his
estate, Providencia, near Acapulco, waiting for
arms, when it is said he will take the field. De-
eslladO had retreated from the capital to More
liza, and is to be succeeded as Commander-in-
Chief by General Aramberi who is supposed to
possess greater military gifts. Vidaurri has
sent out from Monterey, under Colonels Zuazua
and Garcia, all the forces he can raise and now
busies himself suppressing conspiracies at home,
decreeing new tariffs to raise revenue, and ex-
ercisiDg generally all the powers of an indie
pendent government. Cara, who left Vera
Cruz with one thousand men, sone time since,
to help take Mexico, has returned to Tampico
with bis officers, every one of his men having
COQG0
tutionalists have determined to adopt the Fabian
policy in their military movements, and not give
battle to the soldiers of the church when thew
can help it.
On the other side Miramon is in the city OF
Mexico, making desperate efforts to raise money
and preparing to send forces to attack his oppo-
nents in Morelia. He is supposed to favor the
idea Of taking possession of the church pro-
perty, and his popularity with the clergy
is said to wane on that account. Mar
quez, the butcher of Tacubaya, is spoken of as
his successor. Gen. Robes, commanding the
church troops in observation on the State of
Vera Cruz, has entered Jalapa, where he awaits
attack by Ampudia and Traconis All the ac-
counts are very severe on the French and Bri-
fish Ministers, who still take an active interest
in the plans of the priests. They are said to
have guaranteed rec ly several loans taken up
on the public buildings of the capital. Both
parties pursue the atrocious practice of shooting
the officers among their prisoners church par
tisans exhibiting rather more ferocity than their
opponents The foreign naval forces had been
mostly withdrawn from Sacrifcios on account of
the advent of the yellow fever season; one YES
sci only OF each nation remaining there.
In order to stimulate the popular feeling
against the United States, Mramon had caused
to be published in Mexico the correspondence of
Mr.. Forsyth with the government of President
Zuloaga, proposing sale Of territory. The new
boundary suggested was to start from the Rio
MN al r.
latitude westward to the eastern branch of the
Yaqui, and down that river to it's mouth in the
Gulf Of California. The territory proposed to
be coded to us comprises small portion OF the
northern part Of chihuahua, about two-thrds of
Sonora, including the port of Guaymas, and all
of Lower California Mr.. Forsyth did not get to
the point of naming price for this territory, as
his negotiations were stopped at their outset by
the Mexican Minister Of State refusing to treat.
We do not think this result is to be regretted.
The condition Of anarchy and dissolution which
Mexico exhibits to day proves that she will lapse
fast enough into our Union without any payment
Of money, and perhaps even too fast. The pro-
cess Of her natural dissolution will of itself ex-
tnguish government there in q few years, and
with it the vast mass of Mexican foreign and do
mestic debt will die out. Even If the const;tu-
tionalists triumph there is no reason to believe
that they can reorganize government aud socie-
ty. Discord has become the normal state of the
country, and we see there no element Of strength
sufficient TO subdue the HYDRA.
