CONDITION or THINGS IN MEMco.--
Santa Anna with bis disciplined ho,t has
been defeated by Gen. Taylor a, Bucna
Vista. Vera Cruz, with h strong casll,
Of San Juan dc uiIua, ba. been taken by
Gen. Scot, and the country on the Rio
GHnde, and the city Of 'l'ampico are in
The possession Of tho American forces
Pressed and defeated on al sides by our
troops, the Mekicans are now distracted
by civil dissenlions in their very capital.
Santa Anna, having retreaied thiiher after
his defeat, induced the clergy by bis false
representations of his reeen, battle with
Taylor, and his oyerwroughi calculations
Of Ultimate success, 10 como 10 bis aid.
They have agreed to advance him Eve
millions Of dollars for the defence Of the
country. IN the meantime, Gomez Farias
has raised party, and is ondcayoiiug 10
snatch from him the Presidency 10 which
he has bren but recently elected. This
is perfectly Characteristic oi government in
Mexico. Power is the ruling motive, and
principles Of right aud Justice are pompously
prated about merely 10 obtain It. 4 Presi.
dent rnay be elected by the people, but their
voice is rendered Intellectual by thc Grsl
military upSlah who has tho boldness and
ability to crush him.


We see as yet no disposition on the pat
Of Mexico to accept ofpeacc on reasonable
terms. Her people are blinded by her
ambitious and designing leaders, whose
only aim in keeping them continually under
tho excitement Of either civil or foreign
war, is TO plunder and opprcss thOm.
