MEXICO CITY. March 8, 1862
1t Will be remembered that the revolution OF tho
Sierra or Pueba last summer was the result Of the
dissatisfaction created in the State by the appoint
ment OF Mr. Garcia to the Governorshp OF the State
OF Puebla by the Legislature, the people claiming
that General Juan Mendez was constituti0nally
elected by their votes. The unpopuarty Of Governor
Garcia is now increased by the circumstance OF
Negrete's late successful occupation Of the state
capital while the Governor was on visit in the
rural districts OF his State and is rumored tonight
that the resignation OF Garcia as Governor will be
required in order to prevent frequent revolutionary
demonstrations in the immediate future 1t remains
to be seen how much stubbornness there may be 10
Governor Garcia and the part which he will play IN
the drama OF the coming summer and spring.
General Garcia the commander OF The government
forces during the recent campaign against Negrete
gagged with the Secretary OF War and the President
in discussing plan for the future There are rear
for believing that Negrete Will elude the gov
eminent forces which have been in his pursuit and
that he is already receiving editions to his forces,
which have been for time separated IN different
parts and that they will reunte soon unless the gov
ernment obtains some new advan ntage.
The possibility OF General Corona going into the
Cabinet Minister Of War In place OF General Igna-
clio Mea should the latter resign or be compelled to
retire, is being discussed by the press.
IL does not seem probable just now that President
Juarez will consent to the retirement OF Mejia II 1t
can be avoided. The confidence which the former

many years. while family friendships have been
II any change in the Cabinet is effected it Is more
likely to be IN the Secretaryshp Of the Treasury
State and Foreign Relations. Powerful blows win
be struck at both OF these portfolios IN the coming
session The executions at Merida as the facts be-
come better known, have Mortified the people.
Meanwhile Cauto Is enjoying his honeymoon with
his bride, while judges are with owlish wisdom dis
cussing the technlcaites OF the law as applied to
his case. Eighteen Of the thlrtythree foreign
chants and capitalists who leave by the next French
steamer do not intend to return.
Colonel Gagern, OF the army, charged with deser-
ton by General MeJia, Secretary OF War, for having
accepted the position secretary to the Governor
Of Vera Cruz was to have been tried yesterday. He
has been In prison some months and declares that
he obtained verbal permission from the Secretary Of
War before accepting the position under Governor
Hernandez y Hernandez, OF Vera Cruz. The Judge
was Ill and his did not come on.
