and hs denuncation OF the Mexican empire, have
proved fruitful OF comments but however much

and was driven from the country by one OF the
weakest aihcrcp's OF Maximliar--an adventrrcr

honest In his endcavors 10 overthrow Mnximilan At
all events here none those In his secrets express
any opinion upon the subject his former fo and known
nsnccrity having entirely destroyed all confidence in
his integrity. There safety in this country in pre-
dieting events month ahead; but were Santa Anna
allowed to-day TO present himself TO the Mexican people

latter would receive the votes OF ihrcefohs OF tho
people.
