LATE FROM MEXICO

The barque Anahuac, Capt Wilson, arrived at
this port yesterday in "a days from Vera Cruz,
whence she brings large quantity Of Specie, &c,
to p A. HargOus. To the politeness of Captain
Wilson we are indebted for flies of Mexican papers
The ascendency of Santa Anna appears to be
pretty thoroughly established. He was proclaimed
President Of the Republic at Vera Cruz on the 10th
ult. after some fighting, but the opposition was en-
trey at an end before the Anahuac sailed, on the
18th. The Revolution may be regarded as virtu-
ally completed.
The official Boletin' is mainly occupied with
dry orders to officers in the several departments
and reports from them. They present little of I'M
portance. The following Manifesto of the leaders
in the Revolutionary movement, however, we have
deemed worthy of translation, viz:
PLAN OF GOVERNMENT,
Approccd Jy the Generals Santa Anma, VaLcmcia
and Parcdes.
ARTICLE |. The supreme power shall be vested
IN a National Assembly, to be chosen by the Peo-
pie the Capital of the Republic shall be
freed from the presence OF rulers who have violated
the Social Compact and usurped all the powers Of
egislatlye, Executive and judicial
ART. Ii. The National Assembly, at its first
meeting, shall designate the citizen most dstin-
guished by his virtues and heroic services to the
Republic to discharge nd interim the duties of
Chief Magistrate. Secondly, it shall select twen-
ty-our Citizens, one from each Department, to act
as the Council of the Provisional Executive ; said
raj Departments after the complete establishment
of Liberty
ART. Ill. The Provisional Executive will take
measures for the immediate convocation of the
new National Assembly, prescribing such rules as
are proper and necessary, and guided by those es-
tablished by the Congress Of 1928.
ART. ". The powers Of the new National AS
sembly shall be adequate to the wants of the Ma
ton, and such shall fully provide for its future
security and happiness.
ART. V. The Provisional Executive shall be re-
sponsible to the first Congress for all his acts,
especially for those undertaken to secure Peace
and Good Order and we declare void from this
moment every thing that may be contrary to Re-
ligion, to National independence, to Individual Sc
curity and to all that constitutes Government
truly Liberal.
ART. VI. All the acts of General Antonio Bus
tamente declared void from the moment that,
In violation of his duty as President of the Republic,
he usurped despotic power, constituting himself
Dictator and maintaining his authority by the BAY
onets of his soldiery and also declare void all
the acts which have authorized him to continue the
spllng of blood in a civil war, defending a cause
purely personal, in defiance of the general voice of
the People and Army. The responsibility of his
acts will extend to the Minister or Ministers who
shall aid him with their signatures in resisting the
laws.
ART VII. The rights of foreign nations will be
scrupulously respected and all existing treaties
faithfully executed
ART, VIII. Considering that, while the Army
and its worthy Generals achieved with their blood
! the National independence, and while, until Mexi-
is free they alone capable of defending her
from the formidable evils that menace her. it is to
be regretted that it has not been treated with that
Difference which Ii Justly deserves. Measures must
be taken to correct this injustice.
The People, the Nation all appeal to and coniure
the Generals that have this day declared them
selves against the tyranny, to sheathe their
sword until the Nation is fully restored to its rights
This declaration is without date.
