MENICO.
All of our news from the Capital Of Mexico
has hitherto come through the Centralists.-
Their statements, of course, put the most favor
able coloring upon events for their own side Of
the question. Though, even from their own ad-
missions, it is manifest that the Federalists were
making formidable and triumphant movements
The only item of intelligence yet received,
which seems to be Of an impartial character, is
contained in letter written from the city of
Mexico, by private citizen, after the breaking
out of the revolution, to correspondent at Tam
pico. 1t was shown to us yesterday by gem
tleman of this place, to whom it had been en-
closed. The representations are decidedly IA
vorable to the success of the Federalists. The
revolt in the city of Mexico had been joined by
the common people, rising almost en- masse, and
the majority of resident foreigners. In the cap
ture of the citadel, several Mexican Generals
were taken prisoners, and shot. Among others,
the name of General Fonlel is mentioned
Among the Centralists suspicious and jealousies
prevailed the leaders not knowing whom to trust,
and afraid being betrayed BY their best friends
Through the same source we have obtained a
COPY of the proclamation of the Federal Presi-
dent, ad interim, document MOI pa ed be-
fore in this country, translation of which fol-
lows:
ADDRESS OF GENERAL FARIAs, PRESIDENT AID
INTERIM, ToTHE PEOPLE oF MEXICO.
Fellow Citizens:-Y GU have recovered your Ii
berries. The ferocity of arms has yielded to the
reign of the law. The patriotic soldiery, unit
ing in sentiment and wishes with an immense
majority of the nation, have proclaimed the re-
establishment Of the Feneral system-now puri-
fed as far as possible from the errors incident to
every government at Its first formation, and ia
shioned after the best models of Republicansm.
The movement in the capitol--a faithful express
sion of the views of the whole people-has ba-
nished from the country the last remnants of an
imbecile tyranny which struggled to counterfeit
the wishes and views of the nation. substituting
for the enlightened. institutions of the present
day. the barbarous systems and usages of the dark
ages, and rivetting upon the people an iron go
verninent, worse than the despotismof Turkey.
Those who shut their ears to the overtures of
peace, will be the victims of their own temerity
for at every moment Indications of character
that cannot be mistaken, are manifested, show
ing that the current OF public opinion runs strong
people full of enthusiasm in the cause of Federal
ism, gallantly arming, for the defence of their
rights, but the patriotic soldiery epsbTace every
opportunity that Offers. to desert the ranks of
Centralism and rally under our Standard
As an evidence Of the fact, we would cite the
example Of the sixth battalion, and other large
divisions of the army, who at the perilous and
critical hour passed over to the side and espous-
ed the cause of those who defend the sacred
rights of their country. The people are Just
and generous. At the same time that the enjoy
ment OF rights, civil and political, Is secured by
the strongest and best guarantees, all citizens
holding contrary opinions are called upon with
out distinction, to participate in the social add
vantages which the Federation offers. No
interests will be compromised--no opinions
punished. An act of oblivion will be passed
and in, the eyes of the law we shall be all Mex.
leans, all Republican Federalists. Thus is the
best security given, that he who is called tc
preside. over the social reorganization, provi
slonahys will $50 long as he is charged with sc
important a trust) demonstrate himself to be tbs
faithful observerof the principles which he pro
claims
