Revolution in Mexico.
We publish in this No. the following Mexica'
intelligence as we find il in the N. 0. PiCSyun'
Of the 5th. We have also appended an item o.
two from late English journals, which sufficiently
exposes the aim and mauouveing Of England il
irving 10 make the annexation Of Texas to the
United States pretsxt on which to to force ii
into war The allusiOu 10 The South as place
FOR the trial of strength 10 in perfect keeping
with the declarations Of her statesmen, ''thNt in
war England uses tho weapons which God and
Future give her!''
From the N. o. Picayune, Dec. S, 1874.
Later and Important intelligence.
BY the arrival Of the schooner Water Witch
from Vera Cruz, we have adviceS from Mexico
four days later than we had previously received
The reports which had before reached Us OF the
extent Of the disaaection in Mexico, are fully
confirmed. The Assemblies OF the Departments
of AgLas-COlienteS, Queretaro, San Luis POtOSi
and Zacatecas, are said TO have declared them
selves as fully and boldly against the Govern
ment as that Of Jalisco. A. to Vera Cruz the
reports are contradictory. We learn, verbally,
that large majority Of the citizens Of that De-
partmens favor the oppo'itiOn to the Govern
ment, while paper of the 10th ult published in
Mexico, declares that the Assembly Of the De-
partn1oOt has pronounced against the movement
Of Paredss. Our private correspondence salts
fcs US that the latter statement is correct. Rat
things really look more squally for Santa Anna
than we bad anticipated they would, and the
revolution has assumed a shape more formidable
than first appearances warranted. The follow
ing letter which we have received, written by Il
well informed gentleman travelling in Mexico
for his health, may give some idea Of the difi-
cullieS with which Santa Anna is surrounded and
the precariouS tenure by which he now holds his
power;
JALAPA, Nov. 30, 1914.
Eos. PICAyuNE: Having promised to write you
should uny thing worthy Of remark turn up,
have now an opportunity 10 scratch you few
lines in relation TO the troubles in this distracted
country. From all accounts, it would seem that
the whole interior of Mexico is up in arms against
Santa Anna, with Gen. Paroles at the head of the
Revolutionary forces. The States Of JaIisco, |
San Luis, AgnaS-Calieutes, Guanajuato and
Qusretago have already declared against Santa
Anna, and every post brings intelligence of dis.
affections in other quarters. Some few garrisons
in other States may have declared themselves
in favor Of the government, bat that is all hum
bug. passenger just arrived from Vera Cruz |
says that the garrison there has declared for
Santa Anna, but there were msny whO thought |
the soldiers were ready to throw up their caps
for Paroles, should half chance occnr.
Santa Anna 10 on his march towards Mexico
with 5000 men, and at the last accounts was
near the city; but the deSertionS from his ranks
bad had been immense. One regiment, number
ing 500 men, hat been reduced TO ITS oFFIcERs
AND FOUR PRIvATES by this means. The cause oil
the Dictator certainly looks desperate, and ma
ny confidently lock for his total overthrow.
Yours, COsMOPoLITE.
In confirmation Of the viOwS expressed in the
conclusion Of this letter, we have seen another
letter received by commercial house in this
city from Vera Cruz, which mentions that a rn- e
msr prevailed that Santa Anna had been com.
PEELED to fall back in his advance upon Mexico,
BY the num5ers who had arrayed Themselves
ssainst him, and that he was in full retreat for
Jalapa, il not Vera Cruz. It is stated with con-
6dencc that he would not be received in the lat
ter city, large proportion of the population
being earnestly opposed to bis domination, nj
though the garrison, which iS in his pay, would a
stand by him. 1t is quite natural that rumor
with her hundred tongues should be busy in
Mexico while che is distracted, but we are dis h
posed to think the sentiments Of the citizens Of 4
Vera Cruz towards the "COnstitutlonal PreS-
dent" of Mexico are not exaggerated.
In consequence Of the troubles in Jalisco, il il
was feared that the great fair at San Juan de os
Lagos would not be held this year. The "Jalis.
ciense, journal published at Guadalajara, de.
mics this, and asserts that the Supreme Govern 8
ment was prepared to protect merchants, as we'll e
upon the road as while in The city Of San Juan.
This is small town in which once a year il
grand fair is held, to which thousands upon thou
sands resort for the purposes Of traffic. .
We have before announced that the mail com. \
municatiOn between Guadalajara and Mexico a
bad been interrupted. Ths"COurier Francai,'' q
Of the 10th ult., announces that il has been re- q
nswed, and that tits in receipt Of papers from +
The inferior throwing light upon all the events
That have occurred in Jaliseo. The editor, how
ever, refrains from giving them publicity, think q
ing it mare proper that they should appear first 2
in the ohcial journal. The very caution which n
the editor mdnifestS, leads Us to attach graEeT :
Importance 10 thS.deveIopemenls which have al
ready been made.
