From the Baltimore .anertcan
IN THE CITY OF MEAlCO

The fast sailing schooner Shamrock, cdP.diu AZ
exandcr, arrived here yesterday evening 10 - Gays
from Tampco, bringing intelligence tna' reso" hau
taken place in the city of Mexico, which was sue
ceedej by battle between the adherents OF Guer-
rern and the Government troops under Pedraza,
he newly elected President of the Republic OF Mex
.co The revolt it appears, had It's origin IN the
dissatisfaction felt by the friends OF Guerrero at the
election of his opponent, Pedraza, to the Presden-
CIV. The editors Of the american are indebted to
an esteemed commercial friend for the following
copy of letter from the CITY OF Mexico, winch ae-
tails the particulars OF this event
.On the 3Mh Of n ovember at night, grlfo for
the usual pretex of expulsion of Spanards was giv
en-. and the Regiment of Artillery, and one or TWO
Regiments OF Militia revolted. On the Isl OF De
cember an action began in the SUBURBS between the
reyolters and Government troops and h'Sht oniy put
a stop 10 the firing On the I'd day, at day break,
the fight was renewed, and after some not work inc
rebels advanced a few squares. All the Convent
tons were occupied by Government On the sd, the
rebels lost three or four guns, and were forced back
10 their old posts. The loss on both sides was about
ennal perhaps 100 or 200 killed each day. Both
sides fought with desperate valour, the action be-
ing carried on with cannon in the streets anu win
mllsketry from the conyents and house-tops. on
the 4th December the day was opened by an inter-
change Of messages, and nothing could be ELECT
ed by these MEANS the fighting was renewed WIN
greater violence. AT noon one convent surrendered
through forged order, purporng to come from the
President [Pedraza] and the bells beng linmedi-
ately rung panic spread through the Govern
ment troops In three hours the vlctors rebels
were in possession of the Palace and all the Con-
vents ana then the canae OF the town, with the
victorious soldiers rushed to the Paran ana Tor
tales and few other shops, and IN two hours clear
ed ont property estimated a from three TO i've
millions, and making no distinction between the
Spaniard and Mexican The leaders OF the insur-
gents we're Garcia, who died Of his wounds Sorata
The three Tolsas, two Frenchmen, and another.
Guerrero arrived on the Sd day with fresh troops
and gave an impulse to the action which soon deer
,led the contest. On the 4th and 9th, Guerrero and
Iavaa took summary measures to stop Inc Pliia%e,
by shooting and cutting down the thieves, aud they
have since collected much of the property, except
what the officers kept for themselves, which would
be the chief part they profess to return the goods
tb the owners but as hisi impossible, il will go to
the officers and troops They are acting most wise
lv, and trying to make up the administration near
" as it was before. II consists OF the same Pres
dent and Ministers. except Pedraza but they can
not get the Congress OF senate to meef, anu the
whole affair is still! in a state Of uncertainty Their
energy and activity. however, can accomplish much.
Pedraza and Filisola, the commander IN chlef, have
left the city with some hundred horse and many
officers and are collecting forces u i'ucbla. They
expect 10 pe joined by Rncon, Calderon. Cortesan
Parres and Mazgulz, who can bring into the field
probably 10. 600 veterans and the new government
has only two regiments OF practised or disciplined
troops AT first we certainly expected an immediate
reaction which would quash the new party, but
they seem to be acting with much prudence and
wisdom. that it begins to look doubtui.-No doubt
some of the States will resist most resolutely, and
the country will be divided for long time but the
usurpers may keep their post IN the city and state
OF Iexicn. the conducta is at present sateat Pue-
ba. under Maizqulz, tand we believe It will get
down safe
The editors Of the american are also indebted to
the same source for city of Mexico papers to the 10th

that tranquility had been restored throughout the
