Anssser Shake Of the D1sxicaa Kaieids-
scspe-The Liberals Bieomins.
AS in a country of mountains, lakes, plains
and valleys, we have a new landscape with
every turn in the road, so with each succeeding
days news we have new grouping Of the
various pieces which form the beautiful COM
binations OF the Mexican kaleidoscope. Our
despatch from Brownsville, Texas, of the 9th
instant shows that the liberals Of the Juarez
party are carrying everything before them.
They had entered and occupied Guadalupe,
the capital Of the State of Jalisco, the capital
of Aguas Calientes, the city Of Guadalajara,
and the important city Of San Luis Potosi;
thus, across the whole breadth of the republic,
driving the imperialists before them towards
the city Of Mexico. Meantime, President
Juarez on December Is had arrived and
established his headquarters in the city Of
Durango, another important advance towards
"the halls Of the Montezumas;' while Of Ortesa,
who claims to be the legal President, we hear
nothing.
The calling in Of the French troops, prepare
tory to their evacuation Of the country, will
account for these successes of the liberals.
They simply advance, AZ the French reserves,
from point to point, are withdrawn, while
Macmillan and Miramon, with their French
and Austrian volunteers and their Mexican
levies, raised with the funds Of the church
party, are preparing for . hot reception of
Juarez in the valley Of Mexico. We copjsc-
ture that Miramon is to be the active Com
nanderin- Chief Of Max, with the departure OF
Baxaine and CAsteinsau, and, Hsm bis .sstaA-
lished abilities Is skilful and dasAing SOL
der, he win be apt to astonish Jaafes some
day X the latter in moving forward shall fail
TO keep his various advancing columns within
supporting distance Of each other. Any failure
Of this sort may result, from Miramon's central
position, in the cutting up Of the liberal forces
in detail.
Our latest advices from the city Of Mexico
were Of the 26th of December at which time
detachment Of liberals under cover Of an
attack upon the imperial suburban post Of San
Augustine, hsd succeeded in getting from lib
eral sympsthizers in the capital contribution
Of two hundred thousand dollars in money and
several hundred stands Of arms. From this II
would appear that Immediately around the
Mexican capital liberal guerillas abound, and
only await the approach Of Juarez to be.fused
into his army. Macmillan, however, is in for
q fight but whether he will hold out till the
1st Of March, when the French troops are to
embark for France, or be compelled at last to
retire under their protection. the rapid current
Of events around him will soon determine.
The commander Of the Austrian frigate DAN
dolo, at Vera Cruz, who had gone up TO Orizaba
to consult his imperial Majesty in reference to
his departure, has reported that his Msjesty's
lately contemplated return 70 Europe has been
indefinitely postponed. But still the Dondolo
o. blind old Dandolo,') remained at Vera Cruz
at the service of his Majesty in view of the
chances and accidents OF war. II would be
little curious but not surprising IT, the ship
with the Prince on board. and his Mexican
movables, should bring up the rear of Napo-
Icons squadron in March, returning With his
veterans homeward. This, at oil events, would
be a very appropriate winding up OF Napo-
Icons grand Mexican idea, Emperor and en-
pire, master and man. marsha!s. generals,
troops, camp followers. goods and chsttels,
bag and baggage. all packing Of together.
