IL Is So strange to one here to read the
from the United States-ffom Kew
ork and Washington, we seldom see
from other points, and neYer from
West-to read, | mean, your news
rom Mexico. Itis mostly such immense
'Xaggerations, sometimes entire fabrlca-
IONS, and so constantly perverted, thai
me would be soreiy puzzled TO know
where 10 begin to srraigkte them out, or
what was or what was not of sufficient
with you to notice. II II,

any kind Of account Of the Repub-

or of Republican hopes or actions
These appear 10 be exclusively got
ten Up Mt New Orleans, Cairo or
Washington, based upon, in the first
place e, some very indefinite dispatch, and
thst gets amplided into letters and arti-
cies from these or other points IN the
United States. Look back and recall
what you may have published, D
see IL it is not 50. And it is necessarily
50, because We have but one government
in Mexico, and that happens to be I'M
periai, under which any thing is done
any progress made. And further, mo-
where in Mexico is there any organized
army, or even band, cuntendng for a
republic, or attempting to overthrow the
Empire. And still further, there T. not
a single honest, intelligent man IN
all Mexico who believes that Mex
leo is fit for q republican govern
ment, or who believes otherwise h
that u change back again from the pre-
sent rule to any system Tor, rather, want
of systemI al all similar to that or those
which existed before the intervention,
would not be greatly for the worse
would not ia, i'm fact, the heart of every
weIl-w5sher of Mexico, and every intel
Hgent business mdn, with h~eaviuess and
dismay. Have / thus completely laid
myself open, thus on the threshold, %
the charge Of being an "imDertallst ~
+" What is writ is WRIT nevertheless,
and is altogetherand completely uieb'nh
likewise. What y0uread OfskirInishes, of
attacks upon tins or that place, or this
or that detachment, consists entirely
Of byiqdldaCe the dashing in and
out Of robber gueFriIlss, who are no more
Republicans than they are Imperialists.
They are the same, and no other and no
better than those who have infested Mex
leo and prevented its settlement W
since its history was born. They are the
anne who have been heretofore turned
aside ever and anon from mere robbing
clans, and combined into the support Of
this or that chiefJain to change a row
eminent, to be bought in turn by another
for the overthrow of that they had just
previously helped to power. And when
ever any government has been more
than a few months in place, they have
gone to piliaging generally, and ire
specUve OF persons or parties, till some
other chief combined them. The Re
gency and the Empire have now been at
the helm for almost two and a half years,
and no entertain above the character of
bandit has yet appeared none Of sufi-
cient character or weight has yet, 10 any
extent in the least dangerous, attempted
TO gather the clans in the waneo Of Repub-
licaHism, for himself, or 70 Overrun the
Empire. Not d significant move, not
a single one, has As yet been made in that
direction, or under any Of these pre-
lenses; nor will there be while a foreign
army Of the present size stays in the
country. Heretofore thearmies Of the ms
and the OUTS have been composed Of
the same puTchasable material. The
last shade of armed organization
against the governments went down with
the surrender of OaXaca Last February.
No attack has been made since upon
troops or towns, in the name OF liberty,
republicanism, or anything else bat
booty. The late attack upon Mafamoras
looks more like it than anything that has
occurred, and vet hat was headed By
COrtinas, who has been denounced by
both Juarez and his generals, and BY the
United States, as nothing more than a
common outlaw and robber and the
greater part Of his soldiers appear to
