FROM MEXICO.

lNsURRECTIoN AT JAL1sco.-Don Jose
Maria Yanez, styled in his proclama-
tions Commander.in- Chief of the Sc
cond Division of the Republican Army"
was at the head of the insurrection. At
meeting of the insurgent officers, hea-
ded by him, a formal "Acta" on the
part of the garrison was drawn up and
signed. After reciting what in their
view have been the causes of the conti-
nual revolutions in Mexico, the princi-
pal of which is the destruction of their
former free Constitution-after denoun-
cling the project of erecting throne in
Mexico with a foreign prince-after pro-
testing against the Congress called BY
Paredes, in which the national will can
not be represented-anda after reciting
various other alledged grievances, an
" Acta" or " Plan" is proclaimed for the
regeneration of the Republic. 1t is di-
vided into ten articles.
The first disowns the call for the
Congress, as made by Paredes, as an
open attempt against the sovereignty of
the nation, and as issued with view to
establish a throne in Mexico, to be
filled by foreign prince.
The second declares that new Con-
gress shall be summoned, the members
10 be elected by the people according to
the electoral laws Of 1924. This Con
gress to be charged with forming Con-
stitution in which the monarchical prin-
ciple is to be utterly excluded.
The third article provides that Con-
gress shall assemble in four months ar.
ter the liberating forces shall have gain.
ed possession of the capitol. -
The fourth guarantees the existence
of the armc:' -
The fifth declares traitors whoever
shall oppose .the meeting of the Con-
gress, make -an attempt upon the liberty
of its members, or dissolve or suspend
its sessions, or pretend to oppose the
Constitution which it establishes.
The sixth article is as follows
AS Gen: Don Antonio Lopez de San.
ia Anna had the glory Of founding the
Republic, and whatever may have been
his errors, has been its strongest support,
in spite of, the policy Of Europe and the
instigations Of some perverse Mexicans,
and opposed himself to the usurpation
by North America; the garrison Of ia
lisco proclaims the said General as the
Chief in the grand enterprise ior which
this plan is entered into:
The seventh article appropriates the
fourth part Of the products or re onues
of the Departments to the prosecution of
the war "with Texas and North Anne
rica," this fourth part to be remi.ted to
the army direct: "
The three remaining articles regard
the administration Of the laws in the
Department, and are Of: little general
importance.
This plan was adopted and sig .led on
the Goth of May.

E-What kind of a law will the
wings pass next. Read the following
and judge;
"BANKING.--The wings have passed supple
mental bill to the bank law of last winter, which
gives the Board of Control, batch of bankers
elected by the banks, and irresponsible to the leg
islature or the people, the power to prevent fu-
ture banking company from commencing the busi-
ness Of banking, without their consent, although
they may have complied with all the requisitions
of the law OF last winter. A considerable batch of
these swindlng shops have now got into operation,
and this law puts it into their power to monopo-
iize all the capital allowed to be taken by the act
ofIast winter, and to prohibit all but themselves
from engaging in the business of banking and
swindling The most spaniel-like act Of the whole,
was provision of the bill, that it should not be-
come law, until it should be approved by the
bankers This is new veto power, introduced
into our State by the wings. They made great
fuss about the veto power of the President-said
it was an arbitrary power-a relic of monarchy,
Sc, and now they confer this power upon batch
of bankers, and wholesale swindlers, But the
bankers have the reputation of beng erich and
well born and therefore this power safe in their
hands in the opinion Of these whig legislators -

OREGON.
Ertraet of alettfr to the Editor:

Ertratt of dletter to the Editor:
The discussion Of the Oregon resolutions occu.
pies nearly the whole time of the House. This
measure becomes more interesting and exciting as
its discussion progresses. The gallares are filed
each day, while this subject is under considera-
ton 1t is the great question OF the times, and the
debate upon it, in Congress, is not likely to cease
for weeks, aud perhaps months, yet to come.
The speech of ex-President Adams, n this ques-
tion, excited more than usual interest and has rails
ed him to aposition in the estimation of the DEM
ocratic party he never before occupied.
There are in this country two great contending
parties, representing separate interests. The fed
eral or whg party representing the moneyed inter-
est; and the democratic party the equal interest OF
ALL and especially that of the laboring classes
Notwithstanding John @. Adams has uniformly
acted with the moneyed aristocracy OF the country
yet he, unlike his wing friends, whenever ques-
tion has arisen between this country and foreign
government, has been found the side OF his coun-
try. This is a matter pleasing to contemplate
May he 60 down to the grave in peace.
Yours, &c.,

The age of lady could be ascertained short
time ago by the number of founces she wore on her
dress Thus, if not more than twenty, she had
only two houncesi If above thirty, she had three
lbunces; If she had passed the woman's rubicon-
forty, then she displayed four deep hsunces and so
on adding an additional hounce for every ten years
Since this scale of measurement, however, had be-
como generally known, the preposterous fashion of
having the dress all founces, running from the
pavement up to the waist, has been gradually going
out II IS rare thing now to meet a lady whose
dress displays more than one aounce. We even
saw lady at Kensington Gardens, the last bad day,
whose mousseIine had no founce at all, which we
thought carrying the female propensity of con-
ceaing age to too great an absurdty; but on peep
ing under her bonnet we saw at once the diff
Guilty she must have labored under for she certainly
looked if, like Shakespeare, she was of no time,
but belonged to all ages.--Punch.
