IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
The defeat of Mexia and Urea, and cold blood
ed execution ofthe former, has apparently pro-
duced reaction favorable to the federal cause.
Santa Anna, us prone to the exercise of despotic
power when fortune attends him, as he is
crouching beneath adversely, has discovered that

Matamoras to June 81, states that i
There is but feeble hope that the hero of We
ra Cruz will be able to hold ont very long.
Already the states of Guanaxuato, Janalisco, g.
san Luis de Potosi, have successfully resisted
his mandates; and at the latest dates were ma
KING vigorous efforts 10 reorganize an ARMY,
that seemed to indicate the necessity OF mmed-
| ate recall of all the forces under Bustamente g.
Arista; to prevent the total humiliation Of Cen
tralisn in the INFERIOR
The capture Of ii small fort Tumpico by
Ariste and Bustamente is confirmed, but il APP
pears they proceeded no farther, finding the CT
~ under UREA too we'll fortified to be carried
without aid, for which purpose they despatched
a vessel to Vera Cruz,
Col. Bee, the Texan minister, has not been
recognized, aud was, according to a letter dated
May 90 at Sacrificios, was to leave that day for
Havana in the steam fiigate Phaeton.
Two valuable cond,.ctas, containing say halfa
million specie, arrived at Vera Cruz from the in

betrayed by an ensign OF artillery into the hands
of Montenegro, Garcia Vargesi and other popu-

more than 400 Fetieralists. 'N
About the same time, the squadron of opera
lions in Durango revoted and openly declared
in favor o. Federation.
There were, May 81, 1000 government troops al

one oflhe most painful which could possibly be
Witnessed. The unfortunate man, with the
dress, disguise and ludicrously painted tuce of
low comedy, in the agonies of death, the fright
full group gathered around him and the play still
proceeding upon the stage, formed one of the
most singular spectacle which pen ever attempt
ed TO describe.
