Abstract
At the beginning of 1846, Salvador Bermúdez de Castro, a representative of the Spanish government in Mexico, set in motion a conspiracy to overthrow the republican institutions of the country and to turn it into a monarchy led by a Spanish prince. For that purpose, among other actions, he organized the edition of a newspaper to spread the idea that a monarchy was the type of government Mexico needed to solve its problems. The reactions provoked by this publication in the printing world and the actions taken to counter it are the subjects of this article. Based on their analysis, this paper shows some characteristics of the Mexican press in the mid-19th century, how its activity was understood at the time, and how it became a political actor of considerable relevance for the development of the Mexican State.
