people Of these territories to elect their own officers
he should reserve to himself the right to appoint
his friends to be their rulers. BY such proceeding
our federal system would soon be destroyed, commu-
mites ould be weakened by division and jealousy,
and the actual power of the country would be con.
| centrated in one mans hand This is shrewd
maneuyer of Miramon, but be has initiated it at q
bad time, for he has not the strength just to
force it, and before he is in such FORCE the plan will
| be revealed, and if he is now conquered before,
then he will certainly fall. All the great men of this
country are opposed to any such scheme, for at
present the Governor Of State is an independent
Ter, and it is optional with him il he acknowledges
either of the factions now claiming to exercise
supreme authority in the Republic. Under Mira
mons plan, the Office of Governor becomes mere
nothing in the scale of position.
The remainder of the news from Mexico is easily
told. AS informed you in my last the Liberal forces
are concentrating at Moreia and Guanajauto for the
purpose, first, Of retaking Jaapa from Gen. Robles
and tb en- marching in strength upon the city Of Mex
leo. By this plan of operations the road will be
opened from Vera Cruz directly to the capital, and
with proper defenses the country be maintained
and President Juarez will be enabled to his resi-
dence further into the interior.
General dissatisfaction is felt at the conduct of De-
golado and there is much talk of new President to
supersede Juarez 1t is impossible for the present
government to continue long in power, even if Mira
is driven ont in June, for Juarez is not the man
for the times. He is too much of the lawyer and too
much of the humanitarian. He has not the force
necessary to make himself respected feared by his
own partsans and the last feeling is absolutely ne
cessary to successful ruler in Mexico. Governor
Zamora of Vera Cruz, is the most forcible aspirant
and on him will probably descend the mantle which
Comonort left when he was translated to the United
States.
Several unimportant skirmishes have taken place
in different parts of the country but have not time
nor would you have the patience to attend to them.
The papers announce that Manuel Lozado, the ban.
dit, who was wounded in skirmish, in the noun.
tans has since died of his wounds He was familiarity
known as the Tigre of Alica," from his crueties
and from his outrageous robberies Before the pres
ent revolution, all governments in this country con.
CURED in hunting him down as bandit but since
the church has gone to war, he was chosen of
the leaders, and received from Zuloaga the appoint
ment to the command of squadron of cavalry.
The Vera Cruz Progreso announces that Mr. ivy.
man, United States Consul for Vera Cruz, had re-
ceived from Mr.. Buchanan a gold watch and seal to
be presented to Don Jose Archivel, of the Mexican
bark Invincble, as testimonial of reward for bis
good action in atfordng relief to the American bark
General Taylor in February last. The watch and
accompanying adornments are said to be very neat.
Mr.. Allsopp has been recognized by Miramon as the
British Consul in San Bias. The same gentleman
will, probably, be recognized by Juarez to save diff
Guilty with Great Britain.
