Early in July, Senior Becerra, the Minister of
Justice, resigned his post, and after Gen. Bravo
was installed in power, The other Ministers like
wise resigned. Letters from The city Of Mexico,
dated The 29lh July, give the following as the
most probable composition OF The new Ministry
| D. Antonio Garav, Minister OF Finance; ID. Ig-
nacio Mora Villani oil War; DR.. d. Luis Cor
doa, or D. Luis G. Cuevas, OF Foreign Relations,
and D. Fernando Ramirez OF Justice &C. A
letter of the 30.h July, from the city OF Mexico,
speaks of The new Ministry as being already
formed, but without giving the names. II adds,
| moreover, that the new Ministers were wlthou,
exception, disposed 10 make peace with the u.
States.
| II is alleged 10 be the tavorile policy Of General
| Bravo TO cenlralize power as much as possible
and his views The Havana editors regard as in
harmony with the present neresSiiAs Of the coun-
| There had been a pronuncianeno in Jaapa,
| as well as Guadaa ara and neither OF them had
been put down; but General Bravo did not appear
10 be much concerned in regard 10 either OF them.
How the movement at Vera Cruz may affect him,
| il is loo soon 10 Learn.
The Secretary Of War announced to Congress,
on the 23i July, that all the troops Of chihuahua
| and Zdcaiecas had marched 10 the a id OF General
ArmJo, So that General kearney may vel find
an enemy 10 dispute the conquest of Santa Fe or
| New Mexico.
| In paper OF the city OF Mexico, OF July 21h.
is announced that the detachment OF engineers.
which will accompany The Provisional President,
will march under the orders of Colonel Caro-, and
| General d. lsidro Reyes VI The Typographical
Engineers, as We should call them, would ac-
company him. later paper states, that Paroles
| would not move 10 the North until The city OF
Guadalajara should be reduced 10 submission.
| General Arevalo, who was sem against The insur-
gents of that city BY Paroles, has been killed
| lighting bravely in The garden Of The convent Of
Santa Maria, where he was surrounded.
The bills before Congress which we published
| some weeks sinoe-one comforting on the Gov
eminent the control over the revenues for the pur.
poses OF The war, and the other declaring the ex-
istence Of war and that Mexico will repel it
| were passed by Congress in nearly The anne form
in which they were originally reported. Con-
gress had passed another law TO which great i'm
porance was attached, comforting upon Gen.
| Paroles the unlimited power 10 appoint officers
and procure The necessary materials for the war,
| giving The preference 10 those Of Mexico We
have not seen the law ITSELF but have a second
hand notice Off which is not very definite.
Paroles had determined TO release all prisoners
The news received in the city OF Mexico from
the frontier was such as TO drive the Government
almost TO despair On the 9th July a courier
arrived, announcing the departure oil eight thou
sand American troops from Camargo for Monte
rey. Gen. Armijo, about the same time, sent
word that six thousand American, had come
down upon New Mexico. And TO crown The whole
despatch was received from The British Minis
Ter al Washington, which quenched every hope
OF receiving aid from England.
Gen. hleJia, who had taken the command Of
the army which followed Arista 10 Linares, had
established his headQ quarters al Monterey. &C.
nera Paroles was 10 direct his march lhither,
Tor which purpose he was 10 leave The city Of
Mexico on The 3lst OF Juy-making dsiour,
however, 10 look after The city OF Guadalajara
The last brigade composing the division 10 be
under the Presidents command left the capital
on The 2Sih of July. II was 1000 strong, and
had several pieces Of artillery. This brigade,
like those which left The capital before il, was
perfectly equipped. All these troops with Two
or three thousand expected from Guadalajara,
united TO those under Mejia il was thought would
give Paroles force at Monterey OF from IL, 900
TO $4,000 men. His long delay in the capital is
attributed 10 his solIcilude that his army should
be equipped and provided in every particular.
In the city of Mexico there were, al last ac-
counts, but twelve hundred troops, and there was
some intention Of raising volunteer force.
Some troops from the army had arrived at
Tampico 10 reinforce The garrison OF that city.
We do not hear see word touching news
from the Pacific coast OF Mexico. Ii is posi-
BILE that The mails from tha, part OF the country
were cut off by the insurreclion in Jalisco and
Sonora; or, if Information were received favo.
rable to the American arms, the Government
may well have suppressed it, 1t is but usual
proceeding.
A letter in the New Orleans Times, dated Ve-
"a Cruz, Aug. l, says Of Santa Anna:
"The most general belief is that he will selle
