| Extract from letter of highly respectable gen
teman in the city of Mexico to a merchant in this
city under date of the 4th December, 1874:
1--WE are in the midst of a revolution, the result Of
which foretell, because both parties sIe
very powerful. The departments of Jaisco, Agu-
hscaientes and Zacatecas, have pronounced against
Santa Anna with General Paroles their lead
er, who, by the by, Is brave man and pretty
good genera, but not gifted with much talent and
sbrewdness as General Santa Anna. 1t 10 believed
generally here that other departments will follow
i he example of those already revolted and in such
!, case II is difficult TO tell where II may end. In
| the hieanwhiie General Santa Anna is advancing
i from Queretaro to meet General Paroles, who, al
under his command from ~ to Is thousand of The
best troops in the republic and 20 pieces of cannon
all veterans and we'll disciplined and the latter
dispose OF all the resources of the custom houses of
Jalisco San Bias, Mazatlan, and the rich aiming de-
partment Of Zcatecas-but the military force is less
numerous and less effective. 1t is true, If we believe
what we hear IN general, that public opinion is rather
against Santa Anna, but these people do not know
what they WISH because it appears that all parties
resent the treatment they have received from the
government Of the United States and all TO a man
talk of waging war against Texas and against the
United States, II the annexation takes place, but
do not know who will be the capable of carry
] iDg on such an enterprise, if by any chance Santa
Anna should be deprived Of his authority. How
ever, we must not deceive ourselves. II this reyc-
luton is OF long duration the Unred States may do
IN the meanwhile what they please, but | have no
doubt that II matters come TO prompt settlement
whichever be the victorious party will send to Tex
as an army Of rs or 3d. 90 men, and war against the
United States certain, the anne stion should
| be effected"
