ilc It has numerous sdherents IN all the
States, and majority in some. 1t has now,
as a party, openly allied itself with the French,
end pronunciamientos must consequently be ex-
$ected in all or most of the States. The fact
Of number Of pronunciamientos having taken
place and even the fact of several States having
been gained over for an alliance with the in-
Sadere. would not in itself prove any import
snt change in popular feeling.
There are, however, other signs which make
II highly probable that change in the posi-
Zion Of Juarez, and very serious one. too,
has really taken place, and that the days of
the Mexican Republic are numbered. There
Is no, or certainly very little, doubt but that
the power Of resistance Of the Mexicans has
exhausted itself in the siege of Puebla. This
calamity seems to have spread dependency
end despair among the national party. The
President has been unable to gather around
with him in the City of Mexico, no more than
one half could be found willing to follow him,
pnd bis entire army is row supposed TO be no
more than 1000. If it is remembered that
the population Of Mexico equals that of the
States Of New.York and Pennsylvania, il will !
be seen that great hopes can be no longer
built on the spirit and courage of the Mexicans
Ihe soldiers that have followed Juarez must
be to very large extent demorallzed, for we
read that the escort who was to accompany
Gen. Ortega to San Luis Potosi, when they
learned that be aud another General carried |
with them q considerable amount in gold, tried
to assassinate him, and succeeded in the case
Of his companion. Junrez, moreover, cannot
hvoid alternating many Of his friends, for be ha.
TO subsist on forced loans, and they have to be
levied from smaller and smaller portion
Of the country. That mus. create dissatisfac-
tion, and drive many of the Mexicans into the
camps OF the opposition.
But other, even more disastrous, signs null
Eply. 1t is reported in our yesterdays letter
from Havana that Comonfort aud Doblado had
declared their readiness to submit. None have
fanked higher in the esteem Of the national i
party than these two men; if they give way 1
is IL not probable that their example will be
followed by considerable portion Of the Lib
eral party'
One hope only is leit-that Of cid from the
United States. But even this hope will soon
be taken from them. OF course, no Admins
tration of the United States would, under :
present circumstances think Of sending aid to
President Juarez, but we learn from an nrti-
Gle in the Paris MoHitcur the unexplained fact :
that the Consul of the United States in the
City of Mexico, together with the Consus Of
Spain and Russia, went 10 Puebla, after the
evacuation Of the City of Mexico by Juarez,
to request Gen. Forey. in the name Of the cit.
liens Of the capital TO occupy it with the
French army. To the Mexicans, such an act
can, Of course, only appear "a an expression Of
sympathy with the French, and it viii conse- :
Quently increase their dependency.
We think it hardly possible that, under such
\ Combination Of disastrous circumstances, ,
Juarez will be able 10 hold out much longer.
For the present, the Mexican Republic lies,
PROSTATE at the feet Of her pow
eyfl conqueror.
