Hope tor tfrilfu. A **iuf gleam of hop© break* through the clouds ot darkness which have fur many years hovered over this beautiful and unhappy land: and the lover of quiet aud order may expect to behold at io diriaut day a permanent and suf© government over this bright land, so long a prey to the rapacity and selfishly ambitious design#of a few military chieftains. Since tin revolution wuu-h threw off the yoke of Spain, there ha* been comparatively but lit tle repose fur th© Mexican, and lew for tho unfor tunate foreigner whose interest or inclination has induced him to cast hi# fortunes in the country of tho Aztec. There has been but little security for tho life or property of the native, and tho foreign merchant ur miner is ever in ariat# of fear and trembling for hi* buslnc#-. One military adven turer aft>T anetb, r has successfully JlrDon, each otto issuing hi# proarmciamento and promulgat ing hi- ptau. aud catling upon tho |uple for th© xttpporl and maintenance->f hi* soldiery, which, if nut voluntarily granted on th© tnomoot, i* forced from him it the point of the bayonet, and under pain of the gen ral confiscation of every vestige ,f his property and deportation from the country. Thus bare tho pocr farmer* aud th© owners #f landed estates been kept in commotion ever since the o railed Independence. The rule of Spam, grinding and uncroatas it was, gave the (icoplo of Moxieo greater security thiui they have receive 1 under any of the administrations since tho dcpu*itioii and murder of their first and only native Monarch, the Emperor luirbidc it is notorious that during the occupation ol'the country by the American forces in the late war with Mexico, tha wealthy else# and the poorer were violently opposed to the evacuation of the captured land. They admitted willingly that the mild rtile of tho American* wa# morocondu •ivc t>> their interest*, and a greater security to lib* and property were enjoyed than at any pre vious time; and tunny will remember the low murmuring# qf the merenniile and agricultural class of citizen* when the new* cauu* that tho American army must luru their fac©’ homeward#, and consequently, leave them once more iu tho hand* and in the power of tinvrupulMU* general* anti politicians. Since that time the history of Mexico is well known. Hardly a day of peace aud quietness ha.’ been enjoyed by tho people. The numberless mushroom governments aro.se and fell ono after another in rapid succession, each one in its turn, wresting tho means of support for their troops trmn u people who had not a particle of sympathy for tbetu, but were forced to contribute under the severest penalties in case of refusal. In late years, tho sanguinary and notorious Miramon. bached by all the power of the Mexi can Church, haii had full sway, anl has carried it with such a high and unprincipled hand, that even that submissive and down trodden people have risen and crushed him. By the last arrival* from Mextc, advices have kxn received, und it is inure than pox.-ibc that the despotism of Mimttfon Dot an end.
