THE MEXICAN REVOLT.
Hon. SOLOMON F0orE

IHE MEXICAN REVOLT.
GREAT CARNAGE--TEN DAYS or CONrINU ED
FIGHTING IN THE CAPITAL.
by the arrival Of the fine schr. Doric, from
Tampico, we have received later advices from
Mexico. Our dates now come down to the
9th July. We give below the translations
OF the letter Of President Bustamente, and the
proclamation of Gen. Valencia, showing that
there was continual fighting in the city of
Mexico to the latest dates.
Our readers should bear in mind that the
papers from which we extract are all Central
Journals, mostly established by the usurpets
in office. No communication has yet reached
us from the Republican or Federal party,
though the Central papers mention the docu-
ments that are issued by the revolutionists.
The Mexican Government Diario ofthe 25th
July officially announces that the Proclama-
ton of the Federal leader Farias, issued the
day previous, is not true in its statements that
the Central troops are not willing TO fight for
the Government. Farias states that "they
merely intend to maintain their position in
line, and are averse and cannot be forced to
storm the advocates of the Constitution OF 81"
This the Government paper denies, and AYERS
that the regular troops are not only brave, but
are ready for the conflict.
According to the Central prints every Sec
u
troops for the rescue of the Capital from the
hands ofthe insurgents.
Peubla sent a Observation-Disclosures had ar.
rived from Tabuca-all the troops at Mchoa-
can were proceeding with forced marches;
Guadalupe Victoria was proceeding with all
his dsposable force from Vera Cruz. Col.
Cortazar, with 400 infantry and 200 horse was
pressing on from Leon; Santa Anna was using
all his influence and means to enlist two regi-
ments near Puebla, and was to push for the
capital as soon as he could embody his men.
We gather from all the accounts we have
had, that the utmost enthusiasm prevails among
the patriotic insurgents who are within the
walls of Mexico. One of the papers states
that they use the papers in the deposte
archives to make cartridges, and then fire them
at the usurpers themselves. The civic militia
appear TO side with them almost unanimously:
and such are the fears Of Bustamente and his
brother usurpers,' that secret orders have al
ready been issued to commandments Of detach-
ments coming in from the country, in case
they should be attacked by force out Of the
city, TO fall back upon certain points indicated
to them.
The Governor ofthe Department OF Mexico,
on the Goth July, issued notice to all per-
sons coming to the city with provisions, &c,
that while the Federalists held possession OF
the strong places, they need not pay the ac-
customed duty.
The Government Bulletin of the 2lst Of Ju-
/ ly, has the following postscript: After our
form was made up. we learned from an I'M
! doubted source, that the insurgents have de-
manded the furniture and gold and silver and
| plate ofthe Holy Cathedral, with threat that
they would take il by force unless their de
mand was civilly complied with in two hours.
! Gen. Almorte writes to Tampico under the
/ Mexican date OF July 18th, that the President
/ had certain notice that Urea had fled in the
direction OF Puebla-but other accounts rem.
der this improbable.
The following letter from President Busta
mente to Gen. Ariste the Tampico editor say.
he has been permitted by the latter gentleman
to lay before his readers
"Mexico, 25th July, 1910.
Ny much esteemed God-son and dear friend
The greater part Of the infantry which gar
risoned in this city previous TO the 5th inst.

selves masters Of the palace, and e my per

Urea, and Don Talentia Gomez Fernas. -
