orther. the Mexicaus, thus far, have had tht
WORT of it In the diplomatic preliminarics o.
so,edsd. For nothing is moro clear than that
had tho Juarer troops-instead Of retiring u
make WAY for tho inland advance Of tho Allies
disputed every inch of the ground from Yer.
Cruz upward, tho intervening months would
b,vs seen tho invaders shorn Of half thelr
.tr.prth from disease alone and . conquest
Of tho country could only have been effected
By sa invading foroo Of ten times tho number
6rst employed.
The, again. while tho Mexican authorities
have other been cajoled or bribed into tem'
porizing and half.conciliatory measures, the
Church resctionariss have improved the hours
with wonderful vigor. ZulOags publishes
proclamation calling on bis followers to join
hands with tho Europeans. and aid in clearing
the way for their advance to tho national
capital. Tho effect Of such proclamation
may not bo at once Of great advantage to the
invaders; but it shows in what direction tho
policy of the reactiOnaries 10 tending, and how
readily they will bc, in accordance with jesuit
tradition, to take advantage of the winning
side. Along with these enemies Of Mexican
independence appears Almonte, the e1-Minister
to Paris, who comes, no doubt, at the instance
of tho French SPECTATORS. to DO what may be
possible for tho cause Of monarchy in some or
other of tho varied phases which that project
may assume in tho new situation Of affairs.
Almoote. following tho example of Zuloaga, has
issued his proclamation, too. He pleads for
the importation Of monarch, through French
Intervention, styling himself representative OF
tho Allied Powers; and although it b" been
reported that be had been compelled to leave
tho country and seek refuge on board . French
vessel, bis influence among considerable party
in tho State is known to be Of no mean order;
aud bis unquestioned familiarity with the
policy of different factions, with the military
organization and capabilities of tho country,
and with the agencies most potent in Mexican
political circles, must make him dangerous
instrument for tho overthrow of rcpubllcsnism
and q valuable medium for the operation Of
French intrigue.
1t is impo,sib!s, indeed locking at the mat
ter in whatever light, to Oyerestimate the loss
to Juarez of being entrapped at Soladad. The
insincerlty of the preliminary proposals there
made, was apparent tho very day that England
withdrew. The scheme Of her Allies was too
shameless q deceit to admit even the shadow
OF a plea for her remaining. Otherwise, we
know that tho pecuninry stske of her subjects
10 whose interests she had become bound by the
Aldham and Dunlop treaty would have CON-
PEELED her to remain. All this might have been
foreseen; and unless there is the vilest troachery
IN the councils OF Juarez, might have been pro-
ylded against. That, however, is now too late;
and We shall look without surprise to the next
arrival as bringing tho intelligence that the
Allies arc fighting their way to tho capital, or
that France alone has made an open proposal
to covensnt with Zuloaga aud tho Church, to
restore the vested rights dsturbed onder Comon-
forSs administration, aud to Eat European
,,io,, ON the throne Of Hontezuma. In this
ssy alone is IT likely that the speculating
h.rde which CONTROL the secret fnancial oper-
utions of the Tulleries can achieve their enc
and secure their iuil share of the Jecker
punder, 90 opporiuhely thrown in tier way.
