From The AlcricaR ETira9rdinayV, Oct 20.
When the last monthly msil left this for Europe

usaallv racifc aspect. Gen. Oriega bad wlthdiawn
fom the political turmoil Of tins capital ana felreu

tonarv parfy was far IL the interior Of the country,
then threatening ZaCatecas-l4I leagues IRON tbs

Doblado apparently bad control Of the central por-
ton Of the Republic, and it was expected would
have been able 10 prevent the return Of Marquee,
and nat down the forces OF MeJia in the Sierra.
Several advantages had been gained over The reac-
tiorary force in the South, and for few days the
road to Acapulco was free, and two mails from that
pcri actually reached this in safety.
This circumstance, it viii be SEEM was Of consid'
srsble importance when it is known that for four
rsars not over half dozen Government mails have
ken permitted to reach here in safety from Acapul-
o. The reactionary forces in the valley OF 1lsxeala
had been defeated and one Of their pIDcpai chiefs,
Msrcelino CobOs had been taken aud shot, and bis
Lad was brought in triumph 70 this ciy-a bloody
and revolving trophy. IL fact excepting harmless
war of words that was going on III Congress,
between the supporters OF The actual cabinet ana the
OPPOSITION and excepting the state OF foreign rela-
tons the aspect Of affairs al the close OF last month
was the most promising we had witnessed for many
months.
But It would seem that the state of Generalization
(Which the country is reduced forliGs that bright
prospects should continue for any lea 9Th Of tine, or
ils any hopes en- be entertained for the establish
usat OF permanent peace, or even that our POSITION

were with n single bound, has Ieappeartd among
Us On the very day that several journals Of this
city announced that lie was IN Duraugo--2f leagues

zone thirty leagues distant, accompanied By Me)a,
ZOloaea the clergy President Taboada, Perez Go

laeo he moved to Ixmiquilpan, thence to Actopsn,
AID on the lgh attacked aud took Pachuea and Real
Del Monte; but fortunately On the 10th he Was de-
isated hy the government forces, and was forced TO
fywith great loss ard is now again demonstrating
few alsny 10 pursue ms aggressive operations.
The reactiOnafy forces OF the SOu.h have again
rpeaIed 10 strength, and have taken possession Of
Cnernavaca, eighteen leagues from beTe. These
forces are under the command Of NlcaTiO and Don
Pauline Gomez IAmadfij, wealthy ianeber0, who
u reported TO have won the respect and occurred the
eOmmapd IF the piateGd0s, numerous body Of men
SbO have heretofore robbed without the screen OF
hy political opinions. The reactouary forces 10
Cuernavaca have formed relations with the bands OF
Blt7on aud others, who Eold tie mountainous
regions 10 tie south Of this valley aud extend their
Celredaons I'D to the very gates OF this city. Only
three DAYS ago party Of these fell upou Iacubaya,

gonih that they have rode up and iTed upon the
yards al the gilritas Of this city.
The reactonary forces In the State OF Puebla 3nd
territory Of TlXcala have again shown front. The
sCyerurnent forces have succeeded IN s'odglng

king done the reaciionists took AmOzoc and shot
&c commanding officer. They have otherwise dis
Dguished themselves by deeds OF blood
With respect 20 foreign relations various reports
lave been in circulation, giving boles o! settle
nent of dificuties with England and France through
tie mediation OF the United States. We have no
sason 20 express than belief that there is
something ia these reports, and the only hope of
settlement consists in the satisfying OF certain large
lpecuniarv demands we have nigh: TO sgrpose thai
ome treaty has been made, or "a about TO be made
lby which Mexico is 10 receive money from the
I'M ed Staief.
4 Various powerful Interests, that have ever con-
jrolled the course of diplomatic transactions with
Mexico, are deeply concerned in the eODsummaIion
o. some scheme by which Mexico may get hold OF q
LITTLE ready money. A series OF cisgTaceful CON-
lracts, OF which 70 many have been made with
Mexico have brought nearly every FOREIGN legation
IN the country OF the back Of The Government, aud
The cir resounds with the complaints Of these con-
tractors, whose pockets, well aed with proits made
Ron their spcculailouf, enable them TO employ
crafty instruments 10 push forward their TuinOus de-
hands for damages Tor alleged bad faith and
breaches Of contract on the part OF the Mexican
Government.
We are already aware thu; these contracts have
oeen the immediate OF the present state oil rei-
,iohs existing between England and France and
exieo, ana we may infer from ibis fact, as Well ~
ron IDDunerabie aniecedenis that If a diplomatic
set'emeni he effected, the Same identical c0ntr0ct
interests, blended with othcrshostie end therefore
10 be reconeiedwii, prove 10 he Inc ones that are
especially guarded and protected to the sacrifice Of
al legitimate qucs,lons arising from nfingenens Of
sreSt ana ihteshationsl law. Much as We desire TO
zee Mexico relieved from her present eml,arrass.
nenis We are forced roundly 10 condemn any scheme
calculated 10 rslse her for moment, 10 Inpe her
nto deeper Iuia and misery IN "a brief perioa-ard
ssc5 We believe any scheme viii prove that is adyo.
