IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

REVOLUTION IN JALlSCO-ATTACK ON THE
GOVERNORS PALACE-THE INSURGENTS
FIREB ON.
We copy the following important ntelli-
gence from the New Orleans Picayune, re-
ceived via Brazos.
A revolution has broken out in the important
Department of Jalisco 1t commenced the
morning of the goth May, in the city of Quad
alaiara. The battalion of Lagos, followed by
other bodies of military and by the enthusiastic
popuace, attacked the palace ofthe Governor.
The assault was so prompt that the defenders
had scarcely time for single discharge of ar
tillery, by which one man only was killed and
one wounded. The cry Of the assalants was
"Long live the RepSblic, and death to For
eign Prince" Some of the troops at the Pa
lace recognized friends among the assailants
and refused to fire upon them. A company
from San Juan de los Lagos Joined the nsur-
gents, and very soon after the soldiers compos-
ing the garrison, so general was the disaflec-
ton. Some of the leaders Of the Government
troops were arrested to save them from the
fury OF the lnsurgens-among others, Gen.
Galndo and the Ex-Governor, Don. Antonio
Escovedo. Some further skirmishing took
place between the insurgents and some troops
of cavalry in the pay of the Government, and
preparations were making on both sidas for
general engagement the next day, when Gen.
Francisco Duque, who had taken the command
of the Government troops proposed parley,
with view to spare the ehusion of blood
Commissioners were appointed on each side,
and the result of the deliberations was that
Gen. Duque, with the officers and troops under
his command, were allowed TO retire with the
honors of war, they pledging themselves to re-
tire at once from Guadalaiara, and the De-
partment Of Jalsco, of which it is the capitol,
and proceed Immediately to the city of Mexico
by route to be designated for them.
Don Jose Maria Yancy was at the head Of
the instruction, and at a meeting of the Insur-
geants a formal "Acta" was drawn up and
signed on the part of the garrison.
III. The LIST article disowns the call ola Congress,
as made by Paroles, as an open attempt against
the sovereignty of the nation, with view to
establish throne in Mexico to be filled by
foreign prince.
The I'd declares that new Congress shall
be summoned, the members to be elected by
the people according to the election laws of

The third article provides that Congress shall
assemble in four months after the llberating
forces shall have gained possession of the capi-
fal.
The fourth guarantees the existance of the
army.
The fifth declares traitors whoever shall OPP
pose the meeting of the above Congress, make
an attempt upon the liberty of its members,
or dissolve or suspend sessions, or pretend to
oppose the Constitution which it establishes.
The sixth article relates TO Santa Anna, viz.
AS he had the glory offounding the Republic,
the Garrison of Jalisco proclaims the said
General as the Chiefin the grand enterprise
for which the plan has been entered into.
E. Clumpidois recognized as provincial Gov
ernor of the Department, but he is to take ali
oath to sustain the republican form of Govern
ment which may be adopted, "to repel the in
famous usurpaton made by the North Amer-
cans,' to prevent Mexico from falling victim
to foreign influences, and otherwise to conform
to the national will, as manifested according to
the above plan.

Of Guadalajara to be no longer in state of
