MEXICO.

GUADALUPE.
[Illustration: THE ROBES WORN BY THE WOMEN OF MEXICO; AND THE SERAPE WORN BY THE MEN.] While we were away at the Real del Monte, the news had reached Mexico that Puebla had capitulated, and that the rebel leader had fled.

The victory was celebrated in the capital with the most triumphal entries, harangues, bull-fights, and illuminations done to order.

If you had a house in one of the principal streets, the police would make you illuminate it, whether you liked or not.

The newspapers loudly proclaimed the triumph of the constitutional principle, and the inauguration of a reign of law and order that was never to cease.
As for the newspapers, indeed, one looked in vain in them for any free expression of public opinion.
