Mexico. — News from Mexico represents that country as still in a disturbed insurrectionary condition.

In the State of Guerrero, a party of discontents have attempted to organize an independent government. They have taken up arms, and, in a recent engagement, routed a battalion of national troops. A large force has been sent to disperse the revolutionists, but the task will not be an easy one. The people uphold the party in arms, and a stubborn and protracted resistance will be made.

In San Luis Potosi and Jalisco the same state of affairs exist. The people are opposed to the Juarez administration, and will not yield obedience to the national decrees. In all parts of these States organizations exist hostile to the ruling powers, and ready to raise the banner of revolt at the call of a popular and daring leader.

Along the Northern border the whole population is anti-Juarez. They are in favor of a separation from the Republic of Mexico and annexation to the United States. This is the motive which urges them to action, and they are prepared to declare their independence at any time, when such an act will meet with the approbation of all the parties interested. If such a movement be made, it will soon swell into such proportions as to defy the national authorities. In Texas there are thousands of men waiting to cross the Rio Grande, and aid in wrenching a portion of Mexico from the Republic. They are bold, hardy adventurers, and will be more than a match for the troops from the capital. A concerted movement along the borders of Mexico could not fail to destroy the authority of the Republic in that locality.

In the City of Mexico affairs are by no means of a favorable character. Congress is not united; the finances are weak; the people complain of taxes and exactions, and the administration of the laws is uncertain and wavering. All are anxious for a change. But what kind of a change is possible or practicable? Elections, under the present system, are farces, and revolutions produce no salutary effects. The present of Mexico is dark and cloudy, and the future without hope.
