DiezH Nes Of the 18th ult. from the capi-
tal--a week later than was received by the
Joaquina on the 3lst ultimo. But 10 the
news.
Mexico has not yet declared war, nor
does she appear in any manner competent
10 do 50. Thu country is rent by dissen-
tions. Open revolts have at last broken
out in the army, and on all hands the am-
bilious military chieftains are quarreling
among themselves.
The President has at last succeeded in
the formation OF CALI ct, which is COM
posed as follows: State Department, ST..
d. Manuel de la Penay Pena; Justice,
Ecclesiastical Affairs, &C., Sr d. jose
Bernardo Couto; Treasury Department,
d. Pedro F. del Castillo; War and Ma
aine, D. Pedro Mara Anaya. We cannot
make room for their letters Of acceptance
Of office, all dated August 18th. They arc
wonderfully silent about the foreign rela-
tons Of the country and war With the Y.
States.
The Nglo of the 10Th states that rumor
had preyailedfor three days in the capital
Of military revolt in one section OF the
army under Gen. Filisola, on its march to
Texas. Without vouching for their accu-
racy the Sigto gives some Of the details Of
the movement. II appears that the chiefs
and officers the vanguard OF this division.
while three leagues distant from San Luis
Potosi, taking advantage Of the momentary
absence Of Generals Fiisela and Gaona
assembled Cen junta) and agreed that they
would not continue their march upon Tex.
as unless they should receive, besides their
full pay, all the equipments, perquisites
and provisions Of an army Of campaign.-
This resolution they reduced to forma
act. TWAS reported further that General.
Fihsoh and Paredes arrived Just at The
moment, and prevailed upon the division
to resume the march.
/ FL Ggem Of the 9th ult. has the same
rumor, but states that it is likewise report.
ed that the disaffected portion Of the army
has incorporated itself with the forces un.
der Gen. Paredes: that the latter refuses K
obey the Government; that the third divi
. sion of the army, which is under his com.
mand, is disposed for wonunciamento
and, it is even whispered, that the objec
Of it will be to proclaim consul. El &c
lien is more then half inclined to believe al
this, There are evidently some operations
on foot hostile to the Government, but III,
precise object of which has not yet transpi
red. "A number Of the Siglo which WI
have not seen has been received at Tampi
CO. 1t mentions the arrival in the city 0
Mexico Of commissioners from Paroles am
Filisola.
The editor Of the Siglo is excessive Ell,
indignant that officers who have lived a
the expense Of the nation, should, when or
dered to the frontier, 10 defend the mos
!, sacred rights ofthe country, impose condi
tons upon their government. 1t insists
with some spirit, and little Mexican blus
ter, that they should be discharged Iron
the service.
The editor Of the Siglo writes in tn
most despairing tone Of the internal condi
ton of the Republic, and Of the state of pc
litieal morals at the capitol. Here, h
says, criminals have no shame, becaus
crime has no punishment. Impurity is tn
rule Of the day; men enter upon revolts a
speculations in which little is risked an
much may be gained. Such is the tone Q
his speculations, which we would translat
had we room, to show the complete mora
: disorganization Of society in Mexico
prey to jobbers, spectators, military aspi
rants, and adventurers.
; Letters have been received at Tampico
from San Luis Potosi, which announce tina
revelation is near at hand. There APP
pears to be strong demand for the re- es
adjustment Of the Federal Constitution 3
. 1924, and if this be not granted by the 60
vernment, it is likely to be carried BY force
In the Departmental Assembly Of Tamanli

Should we have arrivals, we are not likel
to wait many days for news of the result
Of the various Vaccinations CT the revolu
tionists. Our limits will not allow us t
enter into any specnlations upon this sub
. ject, suggested by the, papers before U.
and at which we have had only time hasti
ly to glance.
! The house Of LIZARD s Go. is again bit
terly censured for its mismanagelnent Z
Mexican finances, but the controversy .
this subject has been carried on in Londol
and is not, Of course, new here.
!, Gen Paredes has been involved in vic
lent newspaper controversy with ST.. Bove'
deputy who SO discomfitted the late min
istry. The President has expressed to tn
General his enduring confidence in his f
deity and patriotism.
Gen. Arista, too, is through the paper
with Gen. Notwithstanding himself an
accusing VOL of characterization, SIC. w
note the affair only to show how the mill
itary leaders Of Mexico are divided amongs

On the 23d ult., the Mexican steame

which we have not room.
