Our latest intelligence from the city of
Mexico is that revolution had been attempted
there that the parties concerned in the move
ment had been arrested and banished to Yucca
tan, and that the whole country was very much
excited upon the subject This means that the
Mexicans are getting impatient of the delay Of
Maximilisn in packing up and packing of,
crown and sceptre, bag and baggage, French,
Austrians, Belgians, Turcos and Egyptians,
camp and camp followers, back to the Old
World where they belong. The Mexicans
know that with the retirement Of Napoleon
from Ills "grand idea Of Q French protec-
IA 'Se rate and balance Of power on this continent
ximilian, with his Austrians and merce-
naries, can do nothing Az the French troops,
therefore, are being withdrawn, the armed
liberals are multiplying and springing up ell
over the county, boldly venturing to grapple
with the Austrian adventures" even in his
stron gbold Of the Mexican capital
Under this stste Of things II IL probable that
the withdrawal Of the last instalment OF the
French and the retirement Of his Majesty, poor
Max, will take place some time before the
period fixed in the imperial programme Of
evacuation. The Empress Carlotta-long life
TO her--hss acted wisely in withdrawing In
time, and from her departure for Fatherland
we may infer that the Emperor IL pre-
pairing to follow, and fingers only to secure
as much imperial plumber as possible
Meantime. in view Of his retirement, the
old clashing revolutionary Mexican fac
tions and leaders are beginning to show
them elves again in all their glory.
There are already in the field the Juarez fac
ton, the Ortcga faction, the Santa Anna faction,
and other leaders and factions too numerous 10
mention. The population Of Mexico, in the
next place, is cut up into discordant races
and parties, including the Church party, the
confscation party, the old Spanish aristocratic
r.re--lew in numbers but powerful in wealth
aai Unity OF purpose-thc Indian race-nu-
mcrous, but debased, destitute and helpless
and the mixed breeds, who are mercenary,
trcacherous and unscrupulous. Left to them
selves, these discordant and hostile elements,
with the withdrawal Of the. bsyonets Of Maxi
milan, will speedily reduce their country
again to its old chronic condition OF fighting
factions and monthly revolutions. This state
&c ttings will then 20 on until another Euro
pcan coalition win be provoked by II, upon
tho pretence Of humanity, law and order, un-
less the United States shall in season inter
vene 20 give the poor Mcxicans q stable gov

Of European usurpaiions, by making their
'un'ry the ward and the ally OF their elder

l,hen General Scott was in occupation Of
the CITY of Mexico, In 1917. an opportunity
was offered him to assume the government Of
that country, In the name and in behalf OF the
United States, with n salary Of a million dol
lars year attached TO his provisional estab-
lishmcnt Bat slavery was then In full blast In
our Southern States, and in connection with
this powerful social and political institution
General Scott recoiled from the idea OF mixing
the equality Of the mixed breeds OF Mexico
with the doctrine OF inequality established in
the United States between the white and black
and mixed races. He thought, in this view Of
the subject that nothing but mischief and con-
f'sIon could follow the absorption Of Mexico
and no acceptance Of Its mongrel people on
x white basis OF equality, and so the tempt
ing overtures OF annexation made 70 him were
enphatically declined.
Plausible a. was the political and moral phi
losorhy Of General Scott in this matter, we
have always thought that in declining this
great offer ~ . free gin Of the splendid country
Of Mexico, with It's seven millions Of people,
and all Its gold and silver rnlnes, he made
rrcat mistake, In fact the greatest blunder Of
MS life. We know that Il has cost M great
deal In the matter OF our late rebellion, and
forty Years OF Mexican anarchy have satisfcd
