If all csu3d agree upon some individual as President
for fixed period, who 10 q certain extent would
meet tn fair views Of each, the future Of Mexico
might be assured in a manner that would with sur

nations. The couutry is not ripe for liberty, nor
for entfe emancipation from priestiy influence; and
al thatis wanted is that both its clerical and mil
tary msBters should exercise control according 10

under that view Of the case, has been
that Mr Patterson BonsParte might be selected, as
