IMPORTANT NEWS FROM MEXICO.
federalism Triumphant!
BY the steam ship New York, Captain
Wright, at New Orleans, the editors OF the
Bulletin received late Texan papers. From
the Austin Sentinel of the 9th ult. we copy
the following important news:
FROM THE WEST.
An express arrived in this city on Sunday,
bringing a confirmation OF the defeat OF the
central forces at Guerrero. Col. Zapata, as
before stated, was taken near Near, by Gen.
Arista, and at first well treated, but subse-
~uuently decapitated, and his head stuck up
on a pole and placed in front of his W
house at Guerrero. This provoked the re-
sentiment of a brother of Zapata, who raised
about 400 rancheros, and the Central army
having been divided into several parties, cut
them all to pieces. The people have taken
fresh courage, and the Federal flag again
waves in triumph over the States OF the
North.
Mexico will be compelled to return to the
constitution of 1924, or the whole territory
will be parcelled out into independent states.
Federalism is the cause Of the people against
the priests and army, and it must and will
prevail. But a few days ago, it was said
that all was lost-now the boosted army OF
Arista. which was, after flogging the FEEDER
alists. to sweep over Texas with the bosom
of destruction, has been destroyed by few
rancheros, and federalism in the North is
more prosperous than it has been before
since the days of the usurper.
The Camanches had come down in a large
number, and brought in two Mexican wo-
men taken from the San Antonio river about
a year ago. They still have some American
prisoners in their possession, which they aP-
pear very unwilling to return.
The ROYAL CoupLE.-The following is an
extract from the Liverpool correspondence
of the n. Y. Star.
"The royal couple appear to get on as
comfortably as possible. They are out a
good deal, and commonly in company with
each other. The Prince with all the boast
about his knowledge of English, speaks the
language with some difficulty, and it has
been noticed that, at the theatres, his wife
has to explain (some say to translate) the
points and guilds of the dialogue to make him
apprehend them. He appears rather shy IN
public, but the Queen is remarkably self,
possessed-hat, indeed, any one might Judge
from the saucy manner in which she told
Parliament that she WIS about getting mar,
ried.
The Queen, cnamored Of her husbands
moustaches, has actually issued an order to
the effect that all the cavalry regiments In
the British service shall Immediately cultivate
these appendages! A few years ago a wal
office order severely reprehended the wear
ing of the whisker and moustache by the ar.
my-now, they are to be worn at the Sove'
reign's command! 1t is understood, though
not directly mentioned. that each moustache
shall be black; but as nature has not given
this regulation color to all men-at least to
all cavalry mcn--it must be made artificial
Iv. L.ight-haired soldiers therefore, must dis
solve nitrate of silver in rain water, apply
the c~o!orless fluid upon the white moustache'
and Immediately after, pop his head into the
open air, which will fix the dye. This ope'
ration must be performed once every s1
weeks"
