Mexico. The report that Gen. Guerrero

MEXICO. The report that Gen. Guerrero
had routed the forces of Bravo and Maura,
is confirmed. 1t will be remembered that
Bravo, when Vice President, revolted, and
was one of those who insisted upon the de-
parture of Mr.. Poinsett, for which revolt he
was banished. The next year Guerrero
was Unexpectedly defeated in the Presiden-
tlal election; he and his friends were dis
contented, they rebelled, and after three
days fighting, succeeded in driving the
President elect, Pedraza, away from the
capital. Guerrero was then pronounced
President by his victorious partizans: upon
the arrival of the Spanish invading expedi-
ton he was invested with dictatorial pow
ers, which he was unwilling to resign after
its defeat; this furnished pretext for
another rebellion, and Bustamente, his Vice
President, deposed him, and assumed the
executive authority. Since then the coun-
try seems to have been in continual fer
ment; Bravo has returned and has some
friends. Guerrero has also obtained some
power. In all these disturbances the peo-
pie seem to have been neuter-submittinp
without much objection to the successful
chleftan, and the revolutions have affected
men only, without regard to the interests
OF the country. They could not have been
effected had the country disbanded the army
when its independence was accomplished.

STORM. The late storm appears to have

The Keene IN. H. Sentinel, of the Both

streams very high in Vermont. On Tues

he could not succeed; and the canoe was

every exertlon made to rescue him, bu:

mers will experience great damage to their
hay and grain.

Distressing Calamity. The late freshets
IN vermont hive been uncommonly destruc-
tive, not only to mills, bridges, and the
growing crops, but to human life. In the
village OF New Haven West Mills, near
Mlddlsbury, the mill stream running through
the village, it is supposed was temporarily
damned up above the village, and the dam
suddenly giving way, the village was over
whelmed with a torrent which suddenly
swept away twenty buildings. In one Of
these was the family of Mr.. Nathan Stew

are supposed to have persisted. Besides

Much damage was done to property of vari-
