gloomy appearance and the situation is precarous
and painful that strict reticence has to be observed by
those who anxious carry out their ideas at any
cost The press despite the restrictions with which 1t
is hampered speaks Of nothing but gucrlas robberes,
engagements between imperalists and republicans dis
turbances and military executions. change or sup
preston of proper names would suffice to render the
present condition Of affairs precisely similar TO that Of
Spain in 1905 of Poland in 1863 and the situation is
being daily aggravated and rendered complicated

of France consequently the press received orders not
TO alude to the subject Some papers have referred
to captures and ourages but indefinitely that the
alarm has increased and the scandal has been rendered
worse When the affairs Of country conducted in
such manner is easy to calculate that the result can
not prove satisfactory. Much blood will be spilt the
French soldiers will stfc tho national feeling by killing
those Mcxcans who protest against their rule and they
may finally establish a I" peace or Warsaw" but they

eyes Of humanity.
All that is wanted to complete our misery is that in

by foreign mercenaries the cholera be introduced;
and II is stated here that vessel will shortly arrive
bearing another present made by the Vceroy Of Egypt
to Louis Napoleon in the shape OF thousand black
soldiers shipped from Cairo and Alexandria, in which
places this scourgc has committed such ravages already
God grant that this terrible anticipation may not be
rcalizcd Hitherto, at the different visations of this
scourge upon the world the United States and Havana
have been unfortunate enough TO carry tho contagon
