Events arc transpiring in .reference to that'cbnn. try. wbicb loom up into the most momentous' imporlance. , They are not overshadowed even by the gigantic and terrific war ndyr raging onthis part ot the cohlincnt. A new government it to bo established there which is destined to perform n most promincutpart indho future of America. For more Uian fifty year?, tUe waves ot filet ioU bhyurolled over Mexico with desolating.fury "and.this government is designed to check and, if po«ible, to prevent their farther desolation. That (hi, ruinous effects of internecine sttifo upna ihat unhappy einmUy may bo seen at a glance, we present a brief historical turn- mary of her civil w«m. ^ w ■ .10*1808, Joseph Bbntparfo was proclaim ed and crowned King of Spain,(uperseding Ferdinand Vlf. Intelligencoof tbis event, was received in Mexlfitf with great indigna tion, and with manifestations of ardent loy alty to Ferdinand. The viceroy, Don Joso Ituerrigaray, refused to recognizo tho au thority of Bonapai to, nnd made an effort to form a provisional government in Mexico, In bis plan of government, ho allowed lib- cral priviloges to the natives. But this was •o distasteful to the Spaniards of tho capital,• that they resisted Iturrigary and Hew to arms. On the night of Septembei 1 B, -180S, they seized tha viceroy in his palace, and immediately sent him to Spain os a prison er. A new vicoroy, Voacgns, was sept to Mexico by the new King of Spain. Me Came with libeial .rewards for those who had overthrown Iturrigary, and a spirit of bitter prosecution towards thd?o who had favored tho provisional governratn*. This incensed ttfo natives, and paved the way for a more formidable revolt Tho elements which formed this revolt found on able and powerful leader in Don Miguel Hidalgo Cos! ilia. Hidalgo was already a man of high repute, and whs espe cially popular with Ike natives. He whs a priest; had labored for years to toalcr aud develop Mexican industry, and had been, on that account, much persecuted by thq vice roys. He called the natives to arms, lorthe purpose of ariving the Spaniards out of the country. The peoplo rallied to his standard in immense masses. He soon had 100,000 men under arms. 6n the 20th September, 18IO, at tho head -.1' 2'i,0QQ XBga\* attacked, and took Guif.nsjiulo. The movement now assumed tho form of a crusade, and, for nearly ayenr, the war between Hidalgo and Venegas raged with savage fury. It was really a baiWous war, no quarter being asked or given on Cither side. Hidalgo was successful for awhile, and captured many towiuaud cities.. Ho finally attacked the capital; but,failing to take St, tho tide turned against him. His army became tcaUercd, but for some months he kept up a guerrilla war, and did Immense damage to the vice' roy. He was ultimately captured, and on of Augnsten L He roigned ten monthe, and Was then overthrown by an insurrection, headed by Santa Anna, IIo formally ubdb eatedon the 20th March, IBIS. Ho was •xiied; but soon returned, was captured and sliot. A provisional government was form ed, with Vittorio, Brava end Negrete at its head. . A Congress was called*.and, on the 24th of Octobsr, 19»4, & constitution pro mulgated, forming a government after the model of the Unit.oif&tates.' The contedcr- atiou' thus formed, consisted of fifteen States and four territories. Vitteilo ^ was’ elected Prcshlopt, Sud Bravo Vico PreB.idont; v for four years. Vilteiio served out tho full term for. which : he was Olccted, whiehis-tho only inStanco of tho kind,in Mexican ;hiato- M - There was a. fierce and excUiug contest for the succession in 1S28. Tito candidates' were Gomez, Pedran, ana Vincente Guor' rero. They were candidates of rival ma sonic iuslltations, Pedraza being the cham pion of those who acted under authority de rived from the Grand Lodge of Scotland; whilo Guerrero was the loader of the York- ites. Pedrezi was declared oleoted by a ma jority of'two votes; but tho partizsna of Guerrero charged that the election had been carried by fraud and corruption; and upon that ground refbsed fto acquicsca liitbo re-- suit. Sauls Anna shied with them, and,un der his lead, they contested the election by foi co ot arms. A most sanguinary revolu tiou followed, resulting in driving the Span iards fyom the country—they, in the main, sympathizing with the Scots. In January, 1863, Pedmz i resigned his pretensions to tho Presidency, qnd, on the 1st of April, Guer rero was inaugurated. In the course of the ensuing summer, Mexico was tiivaded by a Spanish army. uudet 1 General Barradas. Santa Anna was sent against the invaders, and on the 10;h of September, near Tampico, ho captured Bar- rftdas and. his whole army. C>n the approach of tho invaders, Guerroro hail been invest ed with dictatorial powers. After the de feat of the Spaniards, ho persisted in exer cising lliesb powers, And this furnished the pretext for a.rovolt against him. The move ment wos beaded by Santa Anna and Bus- tnmente, Thoy organized an array at Vera Cruz and marched against the capital.— Guerrero was forced “to resign,and the army chose Auastasio.Bustamente as'((If is succes sor, being already Vlce-Prtsldent. Guerrero made an effort to recover his lost power.— ~Ao rallied a small army to his standard,but, after a brief contest, he was captured, and shot by'orner of Bustamente. For tho,next four years revolutions fol lowed each other in rapid suocesslon. Fin ally, in 1823, Santa Anna turned up at the head of affairs, when Bustamente and his adherents were sent into exile. Santa-Anna how sought to diminish the power hud in fluence ortho clergy over the-Catholic Church. He-suppressed the Convents, and commenced the work of confiscating the church, Congress not only sustained this policy, butwept so far as to pass ah act at- tho 27th of July, 1811, ho was shot at Chihu- regaling tho Popo’s authority in Mexico. akua. He died like a hero, protesting his devotion to lira cause of. Mexioau indepen dence of European rule. He asBurfd his executioners that tho kuell of Spaaish donr inalion in Mexico had been sounded, and that his cause would triumph in the end. Hidalgo was tuecceded by Jose Maria Morelos, who conlioued to prosecute war for independence even after Ferdinand re sumed the throne in Spain in 1844. He called a national Congress,, which mi t at Okilpanzingo on tho 13th September, 1813. On the 18th of October the Congress tom- ally published a declaration of independ ence, and then adjourned to Apitzingaii,— Oa the 23d of October, the "Constitution of Apitzinghn” was promulgated, filprelos now began to encounter military n verses. After several dofeats he was cupinred.-and on the ?2d of December, 1825, ho Was execu ted as a rebel, in the City of Mexico. But this did not dispirit tho iucurgents.— They resolved , to prosecute tha contest.— They fougjit, howevor, under great disad vantages. Nevertheless, ibey carried on a vigorous partisan war lor K-veral years, un der tho succccsivo leadership of Vittorio, Bravo, Hayon and Tuan. Bat they were all gradually overcome, and In 1820 the au thority of tho Spanish crown seemed to bo firmly established in Mexico. Tho calm that was restored, however, was ot brio I du ration. Tho relentless tyranny of Ferdinand provoked a revolution in Spain, and when nows of the e vent reached Mexico it rekin dled the smouldering fire i of revolt llftro Ferdinand had been compelled to grant a constitution at homo, and this excited new agitations for a liberal government in M*x ico. A new leader now stepped fortu in the loyalists in tho recent tlvll wars. Bat he now renounced his allegiance, and proclaim ed Mexico independent, ami ou tli’o 24th of February, 1821, put forth tho constllttiou known as tho *' Plan of Iguala. 1 ’ Thin r&- -vnlt was a complete success. Ia a few months the whole countiy, with tb* excep tion of the capital, recognized his aatharity. l<ut hide prepared to attack the chy. Tho Viceroy, Don Juan O’Donoju, saw tho Ibtiy of attempting a defence, and capitulated on the 24th uf August. If slug now complete master of tho country, lie assumed supremo powers, uud <jn the night of May 18,1823, a mob at the capital proclaimed him Empe ror. He accopted tbe tide under tbs name This led to a formablo rebellioh against Ban ts. Annr. A sanguinary civil war ensued. But Santa Anna triumphed, and in 1881 lie • abolfBhed the Constitution ol 1824. The federative feature of the Mexican Govern ment was discarded, and a consolidated re public established. Santa Anna remained at tbe lioad of affairs, under the namo of Prc'sideht, thdugH he was practically a dic tator. Against this high handed measure Texas rebelled. Santa Anna marched aga inst tb<- revolted State, and the Texans ral lied,to aims under General Sam Houston. The two armies met in a pitched baltlo at San Jacinto, on tbe Slat of April, 1830. The Mexican army was annihilated, and Santa Anba taken prisoner. His captivity threw Mexico Into confusion ; and alter a season of anarchy, Bustamente. was recalled from his exile ia Franco and placed at the head affairs.

He entered upon tho dutiesof his office October 4,1655, and on tho lUh'oi Docember fol lowing, ho voluntarily resigned, Uie only iustanceof the kind ever known in Mexico. Alvarez was succeeded by Ignacio Com onfort, who sought to appropriate the vast property of the-Church to the use pf the Slate. This policy drove the clergy. to ro- slstancf; a rovolutiqu ensued, which, how ever, was suppressed iu tho early part of 1857. Congress passed an act sustaining Comonfort, but the net was distasteful to the army, which Joined in a revolution Tor the overthrow of the President. Comonfort re linquished ids office, and the army placed Gen. Zuloaga in his stead. By Ihc terms 'of the constitution, the Presidency, iu case ol a vacancy, devolves upon tho chief justice ol tho Supremo Court.
