Since my last another mouth has passed in history
OF the French invasion month mark the
turning point in the Of which, to limited
exont, the French have achieved in this most wicked
The occupation Of Puebla, and the abandonment from
motives Of policy Of the capital OF the country had for the
moment disprted the people, and the change necessarily
involved in the removal Of the government TO the
capital In the formation Of plan OF campaign and
the necessary reorganization OF the army had required
the passage OF certain length OF time without the occur
any striking events and may led to the be-
lief abroad that the nation quiescent under the gno
miuy heaped upon it by the Emperor Of France.
But is not If it could have been nothing could
have been better conrived burning indgna

one man than the which have followed tho occupa
ton by the French forces OF the city of Mexico.
The combination of farce and of tragedy which these
acts have presented would excited smile ridcue

the secret and otent Of the players and
