case.
Day before ycstcr lay tho commissioners sent
from here 10 log roll with Junrcz at Vera Cruz
and the commissioners from Pucbln. TO log roll
with Roblcs here, were all seized between this
and Pnehln, by Alntrstr. and carried of to Traz-
cola All told. there were four stage loads OF
them. A nce little party of peace commissioners

The news from Guadalajara is unsatisfactory.
The streets ARE filled with rumors OF battles in TINT
quarter Lut the truth is no battles OF Importance
have been fought. Mlrnmon with his forces is in

The country, notwithstanding tho downfall of

partially owing to the fact that We have no gov

! The Robca rule 80 far has given greater

of every other law that directly affects human
! liberties.
| 1t is hard to predict how long Roblcs will be
! able to hold out. Already he is surrounded by
cnnspirators. The clergy party is bnsily at work
| to get n more reliable man in his place. and the
| Libernls nre not at all pleased with the promises
given by the new moderate" Government. My
| opinion is that Robles will he kicked to one side,
before he is fairly seated ms President at interim.
| This prediction, rs readers are already aware,
has been fuicd.-Eds PIC. But hard n the
fate of Robles may seem, it is more or lcss the
! fate of every man who is to follow him. No one
man can aspire to be President. Dictator or Empe
ror Of Mexico again for any long period. The
country is too demoralized. Robles is unques-
tionabiy tho most gentlemanly person of oil those
who are now aspiring to power in this country,
! and it isa pity for Mexico he has no better
chance but he is bound to fall, and the news Of
this will assuredly reach YOU by next mail, if not
lay this.
The clergy arc in high feather at getting rid of
such contemplate fellow as Lulorga. They say
they will very soon have after their own
heart The Liberals also eated, for they be-
Iieve they have now q chance to regain favor. SO
far the clergy have done more than the Liberals.
They have raised large force under Mejia in
The Sierra, and always have the garrison of this
capital on their side. The Liberals have nothing
but talk. My opinion is that the clergy party
will manage to suffer this revolution amongst their
own party and rcorganze another government be-
fore the Liberal. can possess themselves OF this
capital
In the meantime, what hope will this revoiu-
ton give to tho party in the United States who
