AS specimen Of the manner III which Tie
Times supports the government Of the Emperor
Macmillan, We copy from 1.-The spbjoined article:
THE SITUATION. e ~ 4 -ss4 ~ 5s-ys5.-
True enough the Dissidsnt forces In Mexico
have beeDactiye Of late and gained advantages IN g
various portions of the empire but in all of them
there Is nothing alarming or even disc ouagng ssfTr
IL Every rejecting man, ahd especially those who
have seen campaigns and shared the peTs Of bat-E
tie, well know that these suceessesare not to-
any superior strategy or force Of the eueray,but
simply because the imperial lines too far ex es
tended, and the imperial forces have been too
limited to occupy such large exteHts Of country.
The Mexican people are very lexeitable; much
given to revolutions just for the fun of the thing,
and often congregate suddenly in great masses,h
make dash like red shirted Bersaglieri of Gari-5E
bald shout, wave flags and yell in true volunteer
fashion, yet possess none of the steady courage
al intiu off fho.r afrul1r
sides, there q no cooperation of the various
chiefs, no military rganization, no established
4 llnes ot adyanee or defense no money, few arms,
4 and fewer batteries Of artillery. ;
i Their movements depend upon enthusiasm, S
1 their cornnls sariat upon chance or the country,
their ammunition upon cartridges from abroad,
4 and their finances upon 6 prestamos and ransom
money-ali very precarioHs indeed. but sufficient
to hold a host of hbrsemen long enough together
fto drive in an outpost, force back small corr
1Fvoys which have about the same effect upon gen.3
Il eral results as the diminishing of armies or the
running fights Of outlying detachments. 4 a7a4g
Meanwhile, during all this hurrah and elatter- u
ing Of shields, and onuntiamentos bye villages
4 which contain probably two hundred Indians,
the emperor is surely and swiftly concentrating
his regulars and reorganizing an army upon the
most advanced and enlightenedsjasis 81 E7@a 8T
!, The calling in Of outposts proves simply con-
centration Of strength and an army Is never so
dangerous as when it shows naked front, cavalry
retired behind the tanks, and tirallieurs well
ahead With guns at trail The question is now
!, only of; time when the Imperial army shall be
'
gether in q night arefckleasa feyered stream
here to-day and gone tomorrow. Only discipline,
Organization intelligence and energy will tell in
the end Hasty levies are very good to create ex-
citemerlt, perfect devils to follow flying foebut

these facts at all, We're onr own people alone eon

III The evacuation of Tlacotalpam by the Imperial

Jalapa, is confirmed. This measure was rendered
IN necessary by sickness, which was decmating the

how sincere is the preference of the radicals for
