Both the silindle and pivot wereiround, and of precisely the same site; and at the point - of contact were se fitted as to form a perfect joint. The 'poiot of contact was within a cast iron box, about four inches square, which was kept filled with tallow, and the - finds of the two rods, where the union took place,fere imbedded in talkiw.— As the mill stopped ;nstantaneously, the junction must have been instantaneous; the two rolls were so entirely and firral;:bited that, when severed wuh :scold chisel, oseparated at another point; thus proving that the bar was ,as 'strong at the place where this singular junction took place, as any, where else.

Of October, 1810, waving over the hills of Santa Fe, was soon to trail before .the Leopard standard of the' crown. On the evening hearts were Clad, and pulses beat quick within . the city of Mexico, at the prospect of relief from Spanish oppression; but on the morning before the sun had hung his red shield in the , went, the anty of the Independents viltooseen retiring; and hearts that had rejoiced with secret hope and cheerful anticipations, were heavy with dispair— ihe mum of this singular movement has never been explained; but from that day the fortunes of t - lidaldo declined. • On the morning of the 7th of November, Hided. go was attacked near the village of Aculco by the Spanish forces under Calleja, and routed with great slaughter. The patriots -who survived the disastrous field of Ardis fell•back upon. Gunax rato, but Calleja pressed hard upon them, and on the 24th of November, engaged with them again; took the torn of Gunaxerato and surrendered it to pillage. It was now manifestly the intention of, Hidalgo to escape into Louisiana:- Pressed hard by the victorious forces of Calleja he retreat ed through Zacatecai San Louis Potosi, and Sal o tillo; was defeated in every engagement, and final ly, betrayed by a don Y Elisondo, into the hands of the Spaniards and eiecuted. The revolt was now by no means general; however, a few Chife followers of Hidalgo, carried bit the war with various success, in different parte of the Viceroyalty, among whom Morelos, a priest, and a Dori Y Ragon, a lawyer, were particularly eanspichous, but from the death of Hidalgo in 1611, up to the fall of Remidios, in 1819, a period of eight yeais, the struggle was marked by occa sional alternating and unimportant defeats and victories,,and in 1820 the first revolution was at an end, and Mexico had sunk hack to her former s lat e of dependence upon Spain. - ';lndeed, after 1814, there wits no unanimity or concert of action among the Chiefs of the pat riots; the war fipm that time was a sort of guird= 14 warfare, and hope seamed extinct; but in 1816 the meteor inmad of Mina, Wife had fitted out a small force of 400 men in. England and the Unit ed States, revived their spirits and courage. !Mina marched from Galveston with his little bane'', by a forced march. to Lombresn, a distance of 660 miles, in thirty-two days; was victorious in several engagements with the royalists ; but finally fell a victim to the jealousy of Padre Teres, a ':patriot General, who refused , to support him, inlan attack upon Guanaxeuatot he wasdefeated, captured and shot at Remedios. From , then till the celebrated plan of Iguala, which,ttrminated in the • independence of Mexico, a settled gloom tiling over the affairs and hopes of the Fenian.— Dot the spirit of liberty once awakened cannot be subdued ; it may be, smothered for a time, but sooner or later, !like earths central fires, it will burst forth again ; with renewed intensity; fiercer and brighter from the weight which had , pressed upon and concealed it. Impediments may heave themselves in the way of the stream itrid, obstruct its: course, for a while . it !stands, and' then rises and then- boils, and scorning its narrow limits, and ills , pising opposition, bursts its barn era and rolls its torrent onward.. So it is with the torrent of hu man feelings directed into the channel of popular liberty. :The second revolution was supported, and ef fected by the Clergy, and those who had industri 7 ously apposed the former revolt; it had for its ae coMplishtnerit an entirely different object. In the firefthe people had arrayed themselves against both Church and State, in a struggle for freedom —the second - was not a revolution in which an oppressed people sought for liberty, and the noble grOwth of . free institutions ; indeed, they were not prepared for these, they never spring from a licentious and immoral soil ; they are not the sud den offspring of public paroxysms, but the slowly ,ripened and widely gathered honest of principle— this was not a revolution where' the general good was the universal aim, in which no man sought or wished for more than his own; but originated in a deeire to perpetuate tyranny;:and after a brief and :driest bloodless struggle resulQ . in the overthrow of Spanish power, the independence of Mexico from Spain, and the establishment of a' new mili tary despotism; but the star of liberty . was , shining brightly in the distance. A plan of national independeece was declared at Iguala in 1821, in the month of February; the Clergy, the Spaniards and all parties in Mexico were favorable to the object, except the officers of I thOnvemment.. The intention was to establish -a monarchy, and offer the crown to Ferdinand the Second. The military leader elected by the con spiiatora, for this, second revolt, was Augustine Itufhide, a native Mexican,' who bad sided with theßoyalists in opposing the first revolt, and dis tin4uished himself as a Cal. in the Spanish army. The object of the revolution was soon itecoinpliali ea:l'nd from the year 1821 Meziecihegins to date. her independence from Spain.
