Excerpt from Memoirs of the Mexican Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: Including a Narrative of the Expedition of General Xavier Mina

All the possessions of Spain in America have been more or less the theatre and details of the different events in most of them have, from time to time, been published, and received with avidity in this country. But we know nothing, or next to nothing, of the pro gress of the Revolutionin Mexico, by'far. Most important of the possessions of Spain, in the New World, whether considered with re spect to the richness of its mines, its extent of fertile territory, its population; or its advance; ment in the arts of civilized life. The names of some of the Revolutionary Chiefs of Mexico have indeed been occasionally mentioned'in newspapers, and it is sufficiently known that the celebrated xavier Mina landed with a small force on the Mexican coast. Extracts,.1oo, from Spanish Gazettes, containing pompous ac counts of the defeat of Insurgents, and of the destruction of Mina and his followers, have from time to time found their way here; but this is the whole amount of our know ledge with resp'ect to Mexico.
