MATAMoRAs, Sept. 2 1861.
Six months, more OF less. since, I wrote YOU
that a revolution was preparing IN Mexico in
favor of some cbieitain, and while mention
ed, if 1 am not mistaken, both Santa Anna
and COnOnfort, gave it &c ny opinion that
the latter would be the successful cOnspiratST.
Treason is rather publicly discussed in MeXi-
co, in the shape OF flaming deEunciatiOus
against both the officer in power and the one
out Of office. Both are denounced together,
and the one who is not in Office says be is per-
secuted, that be would DO better than anybody
else, and ultimately a revolution commences,
and from having been the brunt OF public
abuse, the conspiratOT steps in to I'LL the role
of a successful chief | saw that COmoHfoTt's
friends as we'll as bis enemies continued to
abuse hin, and l naturally concluded that be
had some game to play, else the public would
hear nothing of him | OWNED that be in
tended to make an effort to regain his lost po-
stioD, and ! wrote yCu 10 that effect when
your cotempOries were lauding Jusrez and ig-
noring all thought Of COmonfort.
At length C0moufoTr came to New Orleans,
and still he was considered harmless. Then
be slipped of and turned up quite unexpected
ly at Brownsville. Sll it was said he was
powerless. He pTofsssed the most sniab!e
intentions, and requested, as patriot, that he
niEuL De allowed 10 i've ItlEdLelE IN mexico
The request was refused, but the government
papers affirmed that be was unworthy to be
longer dangerous. He accepted the contume-
ly but still conspired The first rude shock to
official stOlidIty was when he left Brownsville
for Monterey, attended by a guard. He was
characterized as fool in that proceeding, and
the idea obtained currency that be would be
taken prisoner by Gov. Fidaurri and sent to
Mexico to be tried for treason in violating the
law Of his banlshmeut. By-and-bye it was
reported that Yidaurri was in league with
ComOnfort, and that between them was a deep
political movement on foot. To-day this
position is a surety, for five Governors are now
in arms to Teinstare COmoHf0rt az President
The news has just been received at this place
that Cows. Doblado, JUeT5a, Ogaz7n Of Guam
auato, MOreIia and Jai!scO, with VidauTTi Of
NueVO Leon, and art aga of GuddalaiiTs,
have recently held meeting, and that the re-
suit of their cOunsels was that Gen. Comon-
fort should be reinstated, and tha the Consti-
tuition of 1924 should be proclaimed 1t is
said that the ChuIch party agree to his pro-
grznme, and that Marquee has already pro-
nounced in its favor.
Under this plan you perceive there is a
strong ground for compromise OF aii the dlf-
fcuities with which the country has been beset
for the last thirty seven years. The present
state OF confusion grew ont Of he overthrow
Of the Constitution OF 1924 and probably its
formal restoration will settle matters The
Church will retain all its ancient privileges,
anu the States will be recognized as having
certain reserved rights. As DO parties are
exhausted in their resources, and weaTied With
the war, il is probable a wholesome truce can
be formed, which will be Of immense benefit
to the country. At present, however, the Lib
erals protest loudly against Comonfor and bis
pronuncismento. l. is nv opinion, though
that be will succeed, and that we shat! see the
whole countr. settle down upon it, after few
convulsive attempts in different parts to resist
the revolution.
In addition, and as if to initia with sue
cess the ne y movement, Gen. Marquee has re-
Gently taken Tolucca, aud was preparing to
attack Mexico. Gen. Melia has taken Zaca-
tecas, and the TeactjonaTy parry seems to be
regaining all it lost last winter.
In this S ate, (Zamsuiipas) We are looking
for a revolution, and troops are being mus
tered into ser ice as rapidly as they can De
had. In an election For Governor, two months
ago, Mr.. Guerreo obtained a majority, but the
Legislature, being inimical by one majority,
set the vote aside and ordered new election.
At the next balIoting Mr.. LsTna was elected,
but in the meantime it seems that the Guer-
rero party have bought over the odd member
in the Legislature, and that it will now disre-
gard Lerna'5 majority and either declare Guer-
rero elected OF order new election. II this is
done, Gen. Caravajsl threatens to make q fight
and establish Lsrna in power by force of
arms. The row is considered certain, and this
place is being gsTIisoned largely.
A salute was fred here to day because the
Congress has granted the privilege TO foreign
vessels to enter the Rio Graade and discharge
their cargoes in the city. This privilege was
accorded en- account of the hl1cl1zda og s5a
ports OF the South.
