The Xnr in Mexico.

The accounts we get from Mexico are
made up to suit the interests of one or
other Of the contending parties claiming
to be the Government These views OF
course distort the truth and conceal rath-
er than exhibit the true state of popular
feeling in the country. That Juarez has
no real strength in the country, his ina,
bility to make any progress against Max
imilian proves, Though undoubtedly the
majority of the people would prefer his
government TO 4 foreign one. The men
of wealth are tired of continual civil dis
cord, and would gladly accept u govern
ment that wonld give security to person
and property. Nevertheless they do not
like the imposition of Il foreign monarch
upon them, and Maximilian, without the
aid of French hayonets, could not remain
a month in the country. All the at
tempts To show that Maximilian Is re
dncing the country to order, establishing
improvements which will dcvelope ITS
resources, and by these means rendering
his rule popular, are deceptions The
condition. Iof the country is as anarchlal as
ever, and Maximilan is not better liked.
The probabilities his establishing per
manently his rulc in Mexico are rs re-
mote as ever.

Earthaunke nj PORTO Rico.

NFw YORK, Sept. 2l.-Intelligence has
been received in this city from Porto
Rico. by way of Havana, to the lst OF
September. On the Doth of August the
people of Porto Rico were startled from
sleep by an earthquake, more violent
than any living citizen had ever expe'
rienced. 1t occurred at quarter past
two o'clock in the morning, and consisted
of terrific oscillations from east to west,
preceded by fearful snblunarian rumb-
ling. The houses were violently shaken
though none of them fell. The people in
terror rushed out into the streets in their
night clothes, but the shock. which only
lasted forty-five seconds, was not repeat,
ed. The shock was felt all over the
island, but was most forcible at the cap
ital city.
