New ORLEANS, SEPTEmBER 8, 1916.
We had two arrivals yesterday from Mexico, one
from Vera Cruz and the other from Tampico, both
Mexican vessels. The advices to the 10Th nltimo
from The city of Mexico give the new Cabinet of
HERRERA, but ALMoNTE's name does not appear
among the members. HERRERAs election does not
appear 10 give satisfaction, but, on the contrary,
great dscontent exists in the army, and the Gem
erals appear to be all quarreling among themselves
Private letters state that PAREDEs, who is al ST. Luis
do Poos, had proposed going to the city and leay-
ing his troops under Gen. FiLAsoLA, but il created
such fernent that he was obliged to remain, and
a commission on depuation was sent in his place
TO represent the state Of the army to the new Gov
eminent. When they were ordered 10 march to-
wards the Rio Grandc, they had but six days pro-
visions, generally without shoes, but half clothed
and destitute of all the essential supplies for an
army and with but little prospect of being able to
obtain them. They had demanded their arrears of
pay, and would not move until properly, or at least
to some exteut supplied with clothing and stores
Every thing indicates new revolution as being
close at hand and, though the Cons .itution of 1924
may be reestablished, it is more probable it will
result in a stronger Government, with something in
fact though not in name, like dictator at the head
of it. Some exaggerated reports represent the force
under PAREDEs at three to four thousand men, but
the most authentic estimate it at fifteen hundred
such they are.
The conducta expected at Tampico from ST.
LUIS, had not arrived, and il was feared PAREDEs
may seize it for the wants of the army.
III idea Of aoar Uifh tie, United States had SUD-
sided at Vera Cruz, and it was no longer subject
of conversation there or at the city of Mexico
Congress had adjourned, and Of course without
making any declaration of war; and the letters of
acceptance by the members of the new Cabinet
understand make no alluson to the foreign relations
of ihe country.
messenger arrived in the vessel from Vera
Cruz with dispatches for Com. CONNER and for
Government. He goes TO Washington with the
present mall A letter from Gen. TAYLOR expresses
gres surprise the excitement that was exist
ing IN this city, he had idea of trouble from
any Mexican force in that quarter. infer from
this that Gen. GAINEss call for volunteers was not
founded on any advices from Gen. TAYLOR.
A leading Locofoco paper, in commenting onmy
letter of the 18th ultmo in the National Intelligent
Ger Of the 2Sth, expresses some doubt to my
statement that Gen. GAINES had called upon other
States above to hold their volunteers readiness
and lsec that the !. Union in denying a rumor
that the War Department had made call upon the
State of Mississippi, takes occasion 70 say that no
such call had been made IN any form. have only
4 to observe that my statement made on the au-
thorEy Of Gen. GAINES himself, and if necessary
speciabe citizens as Gen. g. spoke Of it freely aud
openly 70 all who conyersed with him on the sub
lject My FIRST information respecting il was seeing
Iii posted on the bulletp-boar Of the Commercial
Rooms ia this city aud, on inquiring Of tho pro
Iprietor OF the rooms whence he Obtained the infor
nation, he told me from Gen. Cts own mouth
having parted from him within the preceding hall

of course go for only what they worth, and
vert them by. argument otherwise, but 1 I'M
willing 10 remain silent when my facts called
in question, even by so high authority as the Union
and hope therefore you will for troubling
you with this explanation.
Since the recent advices the war fever has nearly
subsidized here without any expectation that further
volunteers will be required. The Government
itself even appears to be OVERRIDING il, | see the

and on the way will be 5000 men. As, however,
the Executive had made up its mind TO occupy The
Texan frontier Is best TO err on the safe side

moved.up to the Colorado. Ithink we may make
up our minds that there is TO be no fighting.
In local matters we are without much of inte-
rest. The city continues perfectly healthy, with
out thus far even the report Of single of fever
The temperature is very pleasant, and we have had
daily showers for eight or ten days. On the 9th
the rain fell il second deluge approaching.
This kind Of weather was acceptable to the sugar
planters, but at present they want no more Of it,
but prefer dry and warm weather to mature the

weeks. As already stated, under no circumstances
do expect to see so large crop as last season.
