DEAR BESSErr,-
Accident threw in my way yesterday copy Of
Gen. Farias' address to the Merican nation, re-
ceived by the Fed, aists Legation here by the last
arrival from Tampico. The manner in which this pre-
cous document escaped the vigilance Of the Central
lists is said to be as folow,:-When Farias made
hmsel master of the palace and other public build
ipgs, he Immediately seized the seals Of govern
ment with which he stamped several packages for
Tampico, SC. that were without any loss Of time
sent off by an ssfTaordinGro. When this courier
reached Tampicc, General Arista miles
Of the city but the orders del go5ierno
positive, every facility was granted to him to pro-
secute his journey without the least delay. When
the documents left by the express were shown TO
Arista, he pronounced them forged, and that some
thing must be wrong in the capital. A party Of %
Dragons were sent in pursuit, but in vain Long
ere this, Canales is informed Of the transactions in
the capital and am all but certain that he AMI his
eo-patriots are now masters both Of Matamoras and
Tampics The following is literal translation Of
the address,
.iddrss Of General Faras, Pre'dsnf al interim 10 ae
People Of Merico.
