A. Wg.shingtou Lie.,patcuoiyesterday says:
The,constitntional term of President Jua
rezexpired by limitation on the 30th of No
vember last. Amongthe republican states
men of Mexico there seemed to be some
doubt as to whether he should continue in
Isis office until another election could be
held agreeably to the constitution and the
exigencies of the country, or whether he
should relinquish the Presidency into the
hands of General Ortega,the Vice President.
All true Mexicans were, however, unani
mous in thelirst oppinion.
. • General Ortega deemed it to be his duty
to be at the capital of the republic at the
expiration of the constitutionalterm, with a
view to assume the charge of public affairs
Should President Juarez deem it proper to
renoquisn thew. zis rumors growing out
of these circumstances, rejudicial to the
liberal cause , have 14.3 circulated, the
friends of Mexico in is city deny that
Juarez and Ortega have quarreled, and say
that the latter will submit graciously to the
determination of the former, and continue
as hitherto to uphold in the field and cabinet
the independence and integrity of the re
public.
[ekectat despatch to the Cothmerclal Advertiser.]
WASHINGTOA, DeCerither 16.—Authentic
intelligence from the city of Mexico repre •
sents a remarkably growth of nationality
in that city,and in the interior.
The French were becoming daily more
unpopular and their withdrawal would be
immediately followed by the downfall of
Maximilian.
The new dynasty is only maintained by
foreign bayonets, and the feeling of ,the in
stability of the empire is increasing. Ti
officials are uneasy and dread a popular
manifestation in favor of the republic.
The old factions are gradually abating
their differences in a manner that bodes a.)
good to the Imperialists.
The sentiment of nationality has been
immensely stimulated by the foreign inva
sion and by the hopes inspired by the res
toration of mace in the United States.
