condensed from the Dlar,o de Ia Marina

ts Isue Of 2st to reflections the condition
OF kxico from the time that General Mramon pre-
partg in the capital to march upon Vera at the head
OF aconsderabe body of troops TO engage the federal
lists Who occupied the latter CITY, the prestige OF Mira
mouhsd led the belief that his march upon the city
would be precursor Of ta fallthat no would have
down upon the garrison with the fury Of the thun
dert Bot instead Of this. to tho surprise OF those
unde his command and without making an assault upoa
the city, for which he did not explain he gave
orders Tor his troops return to the capital The Ddio
oferr various to the causes OF hramons
SUDAN The capital the facts OF which already
the want Of powoer, which was expected from the
United States, and which, through some accident, had
arrived 10 time But this is Incredible, for Mramon
would not have organized expedition OF more than
500 men, involving great expense, aud undertaken
journey Of q hundred leagues 10 deadly climate with
thirty forty peces Of artillery with an ininity OF balls
Bullets without the hrst most necessary material
Of warfare. Il also said that Mramon, seeing that
the black vomit already al hand, aud
that would make great havoc among bus men thought
prudent 10 retire, leaving the enterprise for the next
winter. This prudeDt decision, because the moat
formidable enemy OF tne expedition was without doubt
the endeDicai disc Of the climate. Another OF tho
Of his hosy rotrn was the approach of federal
ist troops the capital, under the command of De-
eollado This movement Of the partisaps OF tho
ssitut.on was SO very clearly indicated that it
caused no surprise. All the world that it
would as soon as tho Vera Cruz expedition was
liar enough from the capital II docs not then,
|be sufficient for the sudden abandon mept Of
military operation TO which such high importance had
u
new government Of MeI and its chief But there
another cause and the most melancholy OF them all,
|alesed for the hasty return Of Mramon. This de-
ecton among the troops he mad ieft in the capital by
the " some of the generals In favor Of the
enemy's forces which encamped aboat the city.

of the district and stating that no could not

general reflections on these runors and causes tho
D1dyto thus concludes

This being the condition OF things, Is clearly seen that
ow, any other time, the vaor aud energy
the President Of Mexico are Indispensable 10 give
utility 10 his country. We still believe that hc will tri-

DDot believe that the result Of his trumphs will DO

An occurrence has just taken place 10 which they attr
