There has been another coup witat in Mexi co., Only the other day, there was a new Con stitution adopted-in that country, amid much popular joy, and with demonstrations as noisy, at leapt, as our own Fourth of July celebra tions. Every Afoxiean appeared delighted, Here, said they, is the commencement of a new era. But, alas for the expectation of po litical stability! we have a lively recollection of half a dozen new eras in the title, misgoverned country once ruled by hiorrzzumx. There were three or four new eras, from tint to last, under Sxxv.!. ANNA, and about as many more in his absence.• As there is a street in Naples called New street, another, of late construc tion, called Newer street, and a third entitled Strada Nouvissima, or Newest street of all—so there is in Mexico, every five or six years, a complete set of Constitutions—new, newer, newest. For any one fond of change, Mexico must be a charming place to live in, for nothing is certain there,(in, politics) pave uncertainty, and the national bled of stability extends just as far, and no farther, than such permanence as characterizes a castle built up of playing cards, by a child. The new Constitution was got rid of with an ease, a rapidity, a success, which will de light Louis "Narouson when ho reads of it. OA the 16th December the newest of all Mex- BOWMAN, jel-314 lean Constitutions appeared to be in a flou rishing condition; the Federal Councils were in full bloom; Congress was in session; seve ral tilt-head orators wore airing their vocabula ries and discussing politics RI a drony, drowsy manner; ComoNroar, President of the Re public, was apparently content with -the Con stitutional limitation of hie powers as Chief Magistrate. Next day all was vanished like the balls oftho "hey, presto !" of a sleight-of hand man. The bran-now Constitution was in the gutter. The Federal Councils, broken up, ,were in the safest hiding-places they could find. The Congress was prorogued—which menus silenced for the nonce. The city of Meiico was in arms, but pleasantly quiet. Tho most Ere-eating brigade in the army—called iqulifr figs," afterits commander—had marched, head ed by brass band, and welcomed with salvos of artillery, into the citadel and other strong holds, amid the cheers of the mob. A pro clamation, declaring the whole aspect of af fairs to be changed, (like a transformations in a Christmas pantomime,) was received with shouts of rapturous applause. The Charter, so lately the object of popular admiration, was reviled and spat upon, as obscurely worded and inadequate to secure order, liberty, and prosperity." Don Inxxcio CODIONFORT, by the scratch of a pen, was elevated from the rank of President to the absolute power claimed by a Dictator. A meeting of the Congress, some months hence, was vaguely promised. The name of COMONFORT, as irresponsible and per petual Dictator, is to be submitted to the pub- B. D. WOOD r. O. GARRETT Ho at some period not mentioned. Another new Constitution is hinted at—time uncertain ; and, until it be framed, the Dictator shall go vern with the assistance of a Council of State, named by himself, The Proclamation, announcing thoBo " chops and changes," was signed by Genera) Zet.oaoa, commander of the brigade of the CapitaVand Governor of the District.

Npi a drop, of blood vas shed. A few po- . Meat arrests were made—including 'the Pro.' side& ef the Supreme Court, the President of the Congress, and a few.leading, members of the opposition.. As the - pronuriciamento•(se it is called) had been unanimous and successful in elf the principal cities of Mexico, which had been heard from, this, coup,d'elist would seem to have beon carefully prepared; some time previous to its execution. Mr. Conouronr, who le now as much the Sovereign of Mexico as NAVOLYON 111. is of France, evideritli has followed historical pre cedent, European and American. • The main principle (or want of principle) of his plan, .he hap evidently derived from the neatly-exe cuted process by 'Which, after returning from Egypt, NAVOLEOR Boarlare overthrew the Director) , at Faris, and succeeded in obtain ing supreme Comtlaind as First ConPul. There is a slight dash, also, of the directness which made Louts '24 - ArliM:Eoleii coup so very successful, and in the precaution of placing all actual and probable political opponents under arrest, to enatire their neutrality. Like the two 'NAPOLEONS, also, is COMOXFORT'S project, of submitting toe the - coreinonial of b e i ng regularly elected by t' the ;peoplo,"' , at , some period when it may tad him to have that complimentary process performed. As to themanney in which he shall use and re ,tain • the ,pewerZ,whiels,. he" has thus ektelned, Mr. thamoiroar need not travekfor instruction. History, which in PhilesoPl4 teltChing hy Ex- Arapleovill show him a couple of neighboring instances...

Or he may turn to this ArgOithas Ripublic, where; for many- years, Gerteial ROSAB held stipreme 'Tway as Dictator, and, avoiding his errors, avoid also- his finale--dismissal from power and entorneed exile in a foreign land. Ifis.hard to say what were the grounds, If any, for the' assertion, frequently made of late, that Son Ataa . still had an eye on the so promo blagistracy of Mexico ; that ho would probably bo aided In his aspirations by the arms of Old Spain; and that, if Mexico were invaded by a Spanish army, he would be among the Generals holding a commission from Queen IsAnsuds. But we never have be !ivied that Spain and Mexico would go to war, though there has been a good deal of vaporing on both sides. Next, if SANTA ANNA were to side with Spain, ho' would thereby wholly de stroy hie , party in Mexico. Lastly, wo very lunch doubt whether 'SANTA ANNA, cold blooded and cruel as ho has proved himself to be; has even the shadow of a party to back him in Wilco. lie will find cock-fighting at Clarthagena a more pleasant, as well as a more safe occupation, than filibustering in Mexico. The accounts 'from Mexico, during the nest six months, will be looked for with great ex pectancy.. It would seem that the military have been the loading; if not the exclusive, agents of Conosronv's being placed In the emu% chair of a Dictator. But, as experienci) has shown, such agency as this, unless when It Is based on , personal popularity, such as IsLare cgim deserved and obtained, is rarely reliable. It can pull down, as well as build up. It can dethrone, Ss well as enthrone. Tho Praetorian Guards, in the decline of Rome's great power, used •to elevate a favorite leader upon his shield, and, hailing him by the title of Imein.4- con, invest him with the purple ; but they had knack; also, of often turning against the 'once, honored objects of their choice, of casting him down beneath their feet, and of playing - the same game' over again_ with some new fa vorite. Cciaionroiti evidently must mainly de pend on the army to support Lim in power, and he could not have a more sandy fotinda tlon !or Ida Sovereignty. 411.0p1,AltIVI8TRiN0 cOtIbiTY.

I have just returned, after a tour through the States of New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and back here, to my native State of Pennsylvania ; and I am pleased to say that on all my route, (even to the re mote hounds of Wisconsin,) I was cheered and gratified to meet your escollent paper, Tits Passe. I eat also, pleased to say that it meets with public favor wherever I wont. Tho De., mocracy depend upon, it as promulgating the principles of the party, and our political op. ponents acknowledge the fairness and ability with which it is conducted. The principle of popular sovereignty has been a dominant ona with the Democratic party since the days of the immortal Jefferson, and must remain such, or the party can no longer preponderate. It was fully defined in the at Kansas -Nebraska bill," and became the " Bragg battery" with which wo fought and won the great battlo of 186 C. It must not be abandoned. I most heartily congratulate you oh the stand you have taken on this subject, and can assure you that, on a circuit of over two thousand mites, I never hoard your course spoken of but with approbation; and it was a frequent subject of conversation. Pardon me for trespassing Upon your time ang attention. I thought, however, you would like to hoar from an old friend (who - has boon an active Democrat for half a cen tury), that your course on the ti Kansas Con- - stitution" was approved by the Democracy of the North and West. Yours, truly, FROM CHESTER COUNTY. Correprondeuce or The Prem.] Sir: As you and I have pulled at the same rope, politically, for more than twenty years, through sunshine and storm, and as I am a constant reader of your well patronized daily Press, which I carefully tile, and as at this par ticular juncture of affairs, it is right and proper for the people to express their sentiments and encourage the sentinels on the watch-towers of liberty who are guarding our dearest rights, it will, I think, be gratifying . to you to know that the course you are pursuing in relation to the Kansas issue, meets the approbation of a very large majority of the Democrats in this district. Our county, as you well know, has lately wheeled into the Democratic ranks. In the effort to gain this result, our principles were it flung to the breeze," and while our conquered enemies are not asking for mercy, they have the right to ask us to be just. It is not my purpose to enter into an elabo rate review of the difficulties which have re tarded the progress of the unfortunate Terri tory of Kansas, nor to revert to those first principles whichl caused our forefathers to rebel against the laws of the oppressor ; nor to attempt to proclaim that the freemen of this Republic will never agree to the establish ment of a Constitution against the desire and i without the consent of those who aro to be governed by it; nor to' undertake to defame our esteemed President, of whom you and I have often agreed that, in the aggregate, we have none like unto him. But it seems to me that I should like to hoar the people of this' county and elsewhere to decide by yea and nay the plain question, whether it is right for any people in any State or Territory in this Union to have a ',Constitution forced on them to regulate their domestic institutions against the will of an overwhelming majority. The decision on that question would, I feet sure, satisfy those who are over-anxious to read out of the party freemen and life-long Democrats, who think and act for themselves; and who are not willing to pin their faith to the sleeve of fallible man, that they form but a very meagre minority of the people of Penn sylvania. As "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," I must conclude by asking the question, can Lostooe, Saturday Morning.—The Times' city article says the fan& opened with great steadiness GLIB morning, and experienced, before the close of businese, a further advance of one.querter per cent.

Trial of the New Sleam Fire Engine.— The trial of the apyaratue built by Mesarvßeray, Aag g , CO., at the Penn Works, Kensington, for the rantriNlU,, Civivtr day morning, at the wharf above the Works. Considerable interest was felt as to the suocesa of the machine, which is built upon a new plan. It is unlike the " Young America," unlike the " Fire Fly," and differs also from the very excellent steam fire engines now in use in Cincinnati. The interest entertained In the trial of the apparatus brought to the ground a considerable number of scientific men and •firemen in general, including the Committee of the Philadelphia Bose Company, under whose superintendence It was built, consist ing of Messrs. S. V. 'Merrick, Judge Kane, Mayor Valr, T. S. Cromburgor, W. D. Sherrard, John Neal!, and A. T. Myers. Tho Chief Engineer was also present, and expressed an unqualified favora ble opinion as to the utility and value of the en gine. The present, however, was the second trial, and those who had witnessed the first were fully prepared fur the success which was to follow. On Tuesday a private trial was made, when, with a southwest wind in its favor, streams were thrown a distance of three hundred and twenty feet, and spray was flung about thirty feet farther. The engine 10, however, not entirely complete for delivery. It has still to receive the polishing touches, anti may now bo said to be in the rough." It is very compactly constructed, and will weigh - only about three tons. At 11 o'clock the engine woe drawn out of the shop by an enthusiastic crowd, and, amid shouts and cheers, dragged a square or two up Beach street. She was then turned and brought down close to the water's edge, and in twelve uthintes steam was got up. The wharf and the docks of a schooner and a propeller lying alongside the wharf, were quickly crowded by the boys, who amused themselves by ringing the bell of the pro peller In honor of the occasion. The hose was got out In a few minutes, and one line of hose stretched three hundred feet toward Beach street. Two other lines, of a section each, wore also run out; ono toward the river and the other pointing nearly west, the wind blowing from the north. Two streams wore then played at the same time: thoone pointing up the wharf extend ing about HO feet in a good stream and flinging spray somewhat farther. The riverward stream also fell about as far off Soon ono of the pipes was turned nearly verti cal, and a stream was flung over the tops of the masts of a schooner ou the left Land. This stream iroald have reached the chirnntes of a four or five etorled house. The spray, as it came down sparkling and glit tering, soon created great running, jumping and shouting on the part of the crowd on the dock of the schooner, and the crowd on the propeller, on the right hand, were in high glee at the drench ing received by their friends. Thera was, how ever, a different tale to tell when the pipe was turned toward the propeller and the ntream thrown over it. Tho crowd on thin deck was soon dodg ing awl running for dear life, just like 'tether fellows. The longer line of hose was also put in service, but the hose burst, and it was some minutes before another section wao procured. Thin argent also fell about 150 or 180 feet from the nozzle of the pipe. The 13014e9 used on the occasion wore of the diameter of one inch, three fourths of an inch being the most common size used by the hand engines. Tho water was taken into the boiler by ....notion potter, and it is a great feature in the utility of the apparatus that it can recoil° water from two plugs at once.
