'J he heroic re sistance of our compatriots conilrms this hope, and we should not lorget that ' a pcoplo flouting lor liberty and indepeudencearc lnviucijto." On casting a glanco over the bloodstained plains of Mexico, it is a condoling thought that all our nm lortuues have been useful lor the prc-ent anil fruit ful in lessons lor tho luiure. Those misfortunes have devolopcd and strengthened tho national sen ium nt ; and irom the midst 01 the nation's ruins wo have bicun to build up a new and a m ral country, under the impulse of ourcominou nrt cipatlon in m'stortuno. Thoio were Mexicans, it is truj, but no nation. Aow nil our domeslio hatreds have bten concentrated into one common cry lor ventrer.nce on I lie invaders ol the sacred soil lott to us by our lathers. Yes the nation does exist in the hearts of .Mexicans, ana (trout are tho Ics-ons which wo hr.ve pat tiered fioro tie tio!d of en ore and cxporiouce to able us in forming the ru.e of our future conduct. Though hav'ng fol owed different routes we meet to-day at thcamo point, ttred.it is truo, but not overcome by our constant fightiiisr. Let us embrace one another at this critical momeut ol our existence; let us work in concert lor our com mon cauce, as we did in those glorious days wncn we broke to pieces the chains oi tho conquest; let the nation rise as one man ; and tho sceptre as well as the crown of Maximilian wi'l fa 1 and bo buried in the d ptlis of tho ocas Out riche and prosperity in days rone by were tho cause why our civio vir tues, undermined by luxury and indo'ence, wore disappearing from day to day; but adversity and poveitv commence to derelop aain in the nation thof-e samo virtues whioh are the siren rfj and dory ot every people. Lot us learn in the great school of misloriune to givfl their fall value to those pro cious pills oi liberty and peace I.e: evcy Alex-can become a soldier of the republic and alter tho vio t( ry has bcon won and the clash of arms has ceased, l.e wt 1 be a good citizen, skilled in dofonding the coLqusts mado hy his puiriotisui and having an in terest in thur picsoivatiou. Although it is contiary to mv character, and not withstanding my natural repugnance to rp-.ak of myeif, it is incuml cut on me to do so on this occa sion. Ki ve', cot even for a nvinvmt, have I ceased to be a Mexican, whatever may huvo boen, at differ ent times, my opinions regarding tho fcystora of gov ernment sui'abto to my com. try. Nor can I with iustice bo accused ol tolf-will or egotism, lor the motive of my actions has always been the h ippiness and prosperity of my native country. Providenco has chosen tlint my history ,-hould be that of Mexico since 1821, when I figured as one of the Jcadois in tho strur?e tor independence; and that iieroie country should inscriee her namo, wi h my aid, on the map ot nations. I first proclaimed t lere the republic on the 2d ol December, 1822, announcing b thetto unknown divinity, as the apostle did on tue Aiecpagus; and so little prepared were tho peop e lor undirstanding and worshipping it worthily, that at various 1in.es the doubt assailoa mo whether I had accomplished my worn. In the plan according to which a Mexican nationality was lirst organized, our independence had been br utrht about in connection with the idea of constitutional moLarciiy. i'lns wa, at that tlmo. tho faithful expression of a very cor cial desire lu Mexico of an aspiration that was not loroicn to Lonoratilo motives. Besides, in the other sections of Spanish America the cry for iu. dei endenco had nriseu, crotes-ing against the iutru 1 ng Uivernineut of Napoleon 1, and sweating lcaity to 1 erdiuand VII, son of tho dctoroned moil- a.xn. Jt Is w en Ki owu luuv ine uau vviwy ui iuu . yjiei' n turned that sentiment into ouo in favor of complete emancipation, and that ttie gotiius of 'e.id crs like Bolivar aud fct Martin did the rost Many dsilneuishcd and patriotic Americans had t'ieir t itughts bent upon monarchy at tho timo oi oriani zinr ti e new Governments; and some ot the ttiuis teis sent to Kurope carried with thom instruct ons to negotiate on tuat busts. Tho ide.i of a liopublio, howevei, prevailed, and Spanish Atnonca was divi ded and organized uv.dor that form; and the flag which covoied hermdomitablo logious iu a huuired baitles was tri-colorod. 'this is not the proper place to treat ot the armed Euiopean intervention, nor doos it belong to mo to speak now of that diplomatic combination, much less to write its bistoiy. Withal it is nocossary to state that the Tripartite Intervention, as it was pre setted to us. diU'cred totally liom tho manner in which it has been understood aud carried out by a siug'e one i iho coitilio in? parties. The interven tion of tli roe ration, each one powerful cnotuli of life f to carry out any detiuitive resolution regarding Mexico, could not be consid -red as a combination to usurp our rights, since its co-operation was goneraiiy regd'dedas a neutral element, aud as a meant at loidedtotbe Moxicars lor putiiug asido artisan eic sitsso that they mivht Le ab e to discuss, to r a on, and come to an underslanding as to the most adequate and convenient m.nner of contituung their form of government for the maintenance ot their nationality, independence and autonomy. But the original plau ol Hie intervention hav ni' been brokou up by Frat ce, and takiutr upon he self tt'one ihe initiutive iu the matter, there came n total change over what had apt can d to be tho moans of arriving at a sctllomeut; and irom appearing as a mod ator tie loioiguor changed himself into tho arl i'cr of our d.Btiuloi'.

It bectmos mo now to sot forth tho conduct whioh I have followed in my last administration, and that which has governed mo since. In February, 1853, vihilo I was livmit in a city of New Granada, 1 was called y my compatriots to exoicl-e docietionary powers a measure believed to be salutary in the m.d'tofthe nation's coi.llictn, divided as she w is by hatred and audcr tho rule of anarchy, I was obliged not to hesitate. Liuty, patriotism dictated my resolution. 1 flow at tho c ill of my tellow-ctti-zmt, and in April of that year I assum d cha-ge of the suiiromo dnection ol atl.urs - Tho power ol L)io taf or is a tit metioous one, but I accepted It with tho convciomnes" of dome good, and vith tho dntor niiiialion to ue prudently so fnrmidab'o a trust. I filt in my heait enough pa'riotlsm not to go beyond tho wishes of my lellow-o.tizens; euitiotent love of priory not to rendtr mvself Uiiwnit iy ol its tuvorn, and a profound respect lor posterity not to lender myself unworthy ot its applause, Fortified wit l these convionons I undertook tho struirglo a?ainst the obstacles which the genius of discord was heap incupon the rond to peace, to order, and to tuo progress ol the nation. 'iwo tears and four months did I bestow unon that tusk, with a vigorous enemy and an uusiink auio usolution Confidence on all sides was awak ened, trade flourished, the atts sprung up, and tho domestic as well as the toman crcd.t ot tho republic was re-established, as it wero, by magic 1 have the appiota'ot my conscioiice; it tel. s mo that 1 havo uono my duly. Supported by tho whole nation, tho acts of my adminis nttion recoived with res oet; bus aiued by aspiendid aimy, lull ot courage, disi pliuoo, and at ached to my person; ana having iu my hands the destinies ot tho people and ai-iny, which they had placed there themselves, what bot tei chance d uld there be to revivo in my favor the Plan ol Igna a? But, say what my adversaries will, 1 am a sttaiiirer to the ambition ot vulgar sjiiIs; sent incnts moro oiovated lind a home in my sou1, as wel as hi t'ln r aspirations. In order to havo worn tho imporinl diadem it would have su Diced for ma to stretch fortn my hand; but never has the roal purple dazzled in v eves; and it at any timo 1 could havo dreamed of it th 3 bloody pic'ure oi Yturbido would have aroused mj in time to fly from tho seductive and treacherous doluaion. (jcnt rals and evon governois ot departments awaited only my acquiescence in order to proclaim' mo Em peior on my birthday; but, laithlul to my princi ples, I was obliged to use even threats in order to silence the proposals ol those who thought It a per sonal honor to me and an advantage to tho nation that I should wear the crown. In the mnist of the diverso inUstine convulsions minds were b indod by the extreme exaggerations of party, and dospainng oi bi.ing able to constitute ouisuives in any stable manner, under a republican svs era, persons were not m anting to blame me publicly a the prompter or tho originutor of tho interpretation that was givea to the p an of Iuala after Vturt ide's lai uro. A lew scars uliernards, in Mexico as wall as in other sections of Spanish America, a Iro'ing of dis appointment snraug up on w.tne.-sing the sad results produced by the trial sr ven to our new ins.ltutio as, and many men of well-disposed and of strict princi ples, becamo disabused to such an extent, that Clone ruls Bustamcnto, tfravo, and Paredes. among us, and iho il.vstaious Sau AUrt.n.in South Antorlca, believed it to bo their patriotic duty to advocato the ctubllsLn.ent ot a monarchy. Thore had been, on other occasions, ut empts made to call a constituent assembly, in order to submit tin.) retrogade sto to its dec.sion. Many worthy po.sons, duriug my last administration, wi-hed to revivo the samo idea, ttnd for this reason iScnor Oulicrrez de Estrada was aut onzed to have an understanding with the dit lercnt Courts of Europe, and to int;une what were the ideas of foifign sovoreiens on tho subject before such a project should bo undertaken. But tho war which at that t me abr oiled tlio attention of Europe incvented said mission from having a uy re sult ; hcuco tho project was for the timo abaudoned. From tins exposition it follows that the document which has been presented as overwhelming aud con clusive auainst me is, on tho contrary, a sourco of satisfaction to me, as it shows loi th au aet of d sin. tercstodnns and (-olt-i'tlila! on my part. As if to give oi enter ioico in my detriment to the publica tion alluded to, thore have been likewise printed, witn como a'terationi, certain letters whicli have been coulic'cd to tuo discretion of iriends tor circula tion. I ill not underteko to call such conduct by Its proper name, but 1 may bo allowed to ask whether, by any cliuece, tho ideas contained iu said letters brouuht the intervention to Mexico and eeatcl Maximilian upon bis throne? How can my supposed coinp.icity iu sucu acts be explaUioi wnen contrast d with the ao iou of tho French authorities in driving mefioin Vera Cruz, af.er having lorc-oly made mo tigu a pap; r recotrnizing events that had alreudy taken p.acef In what document of tuat timo, pub.io or pnvuto, aid mv namj appear as an acccuip ice ol the intervention ? n hat tavors have I ri ce lvcd from the Archduke? II s silonco cave full sanction to the violence Urel against my person. My udverfarics admit that they have failed to bring the matter homo to mo. and that their deductions with regard to the letters in question are not as tenable as has been maintained. On the other hand, is it just to malto me alone ro spcnsiblo lor en idea which, in addition 10 the ex amples already cited, has occupied the attention of o her thinking and patriotic men, who, whiio thoy erred m judgment, did not do so knowingly, bat in porlcct good lat h?

I tefer to these facts as te most couvmc-n ? rosird in the annals of iSuainali America, and I ask, may 1 li ot also havo erred in good faith, as well as so many oilier men of sound principles and recoiuizoi ability? Wherein is it criminal or unpardonable that I should have despaired, as many other have done, of our republic, and allowed a trial oi a con stitutional monarchy, established without ray co opeiution, and when the sceptre was not to bs hold by mo? AV'hcie is the Mexican who can refuse my services without incurriue the opprobrium of history, or douy me the right to liaht, aud die, if necessary, in the de leusoof ourdo-olate hoarths? If it is dostrcd to achieve a solid and enduring peace, is it r.ght or jjt to turn tho buck upon uu old soldier oi the nation w ho only auks his counirvmon lor a spo'-of pround wticro he can stand and light a?aiu-t the usurpers of our rights? Who is there tha' ha suf ficient authority to say to me "Stand back I you are a Mexican, lut you cannot bo allowed to draw youi sword as ot vore, in doionso ot thooouu ry which pavoou birth, and of tho republic which you yourself founded?" Upon what principle, whether liberal ot cousorvatlvo, cou'd sus'i injustice Le upheld? In tho gieat strujglo of our coiiinr, no cement, liowvor insitrnlllcaut it may appear, tuat can bu ucd to tho udvau agco' the nation, cau bo coufidcred UfCltss.

Do not forget that domestio dis sension, wlieu the soil ol our country is being pro iuued bv loro gn luvaaers, Is equivalent to dosertlou in toe face of tho enemy, and that, although there is no military law whereby it can bo punished, yot we must pats through the ordeal of inflexible aud avenging postority wliioh will reward only sell-do-niul, patriotism, and truo masrnauimitv.

I houo vet to see thtun .iriends It is not lor mo to say who has aright totne l'rei dency, nor on whose side is the law; mv object Is to avenro the affront offered to our country by driving far from tier midst the implacable tyrants that oppress her. Eet all distentions anions our compatriots c ae, and let all hatred be reserved lor tha loreign domination that covers us now with itruomluy aud shame. Juarez and Ortega shou'd put an end to I heir resentments by a cordial embrace. Lon and strenuously have the defenders of tho repubbo struggled in Mexico; and, notwithstanding such gieat heroism, ao firm constancy, aud so much sacrifice, the work Is to-day no farther advanced than It whb in the beginning. By reason of my antcc-dents, of my position in the Coi.serva ivo party, and evtn or my long absence lrom the country, 1 believe myso f to be the ouo called upon to reconcile all niindn, setting the exam ple ot em mission to Iho Constitutional Uovrnment, as I raw sincerely do.

TIIE CHOLERA, A. ratal Case In New TorU The Disease at Hnaraullne. The indication? of an anproachintr epidemic, for which the Board of Health r-repar-jd itself some time fcince, with the extraordinary power grputed by the proclamation of impending pes tilence, issued by them and Governor teuton jointly, are becoming daily more and more ap parent. The scattering enses of cholera that occurred last week) seem lively to be repented during tbe present week, as bttrbiupera of those that will follow, unless a r'orid quarantine and the uioft thorough cleansing rob the disease of its virulence and its victims. As tho season progresses und the heated term draws near, cases such asj those already reported will naturally occur more frequently; and as every one demands immediate attention from, the Board ot Health, under whose direction dis infection must take place in uianv instances, if at all, it is more than probable that body will take eiich measures a- will keen one of its em. ployes or officers on duty duiiugr those hours in which the ofiice has heretofore been closed, so tbat its aid e ill be as readily available during the niRht nnd Sunday as at any other time. At all events, this would bu a wise precaution, and one that would undoubtedly have a beneficial lesult in the event oi nn epidemic. CHOLERA IN THIRTY-FIFTH STREET. Tlio disease has found a victim in the resi dence of one of our best citizen's, nnd in the cleanliest and most salubrious part of the city. The oritin of this case is somewhat hidden, but the circumstances, so far as they are now known, seem to be as follows : Sarah Kelly, a servant in a lamlly iesiuing in the south side of Thirty titth street, between Fifth aud Sixth avenues, ltifct Sundny visited her sister, livin? in Willett sueet, where she remained until 9 o'clock P. M., in the mean time eating indiscreetly. On Mon day morniep she was attacksd with a painless diunuca, which rassed through the regular stages to uncontrolled rice-water or albuminous discharges, muscular crumps, and collapse. The pal lent bad the best ot medical treatment, but only survived tbe attack thirty-six hours, dying on Tuesday night. iho houae in which she died is said to be a model of cleanliness and hygienic care, so that tho cause of the diseaie must be sought in some other place. Ths residence of her sister, in Willett rtrcet, is in one ot those overcrowded districts eo numerous cast of Filth avenue, and is surrounded by all the accumulations of filth which are almost inevitable where families aro huddled together iu teuuut-uouses. People so situated become accustomed to breathing a vitiated atmosphere, which would foon sicken those accustomed to more healthful localities and better air. Whether she contracted the disease during her Sunday ntternoon visit, aud through bcr iiirt scrotton in euting, cannit be known. That she died of tho Asiatic cholera, however, cannot be dcubted. Some other cases of incipient cholera were also repoited yesterdr.v ulternoou, but they were not sufficiently well defined laat e veninsr ta war rant us in giving the names ol the patients, or tbe location oi tueir homes.
