FROM MEXICO.
By the arrival of the ship Adelaide from lla-
vana. al New York, August 2lst, the CONNER
cial has files of Havana papers TO the 9Th Aug.
inclusive, containing extracts from Vera Cruz
papers as late as the 28th of July.
Captain Adams reports that General Santa An
M and Almonte left Havana on the 9Th for Vera
Cruz, on board the British schooner Arab. The
U. S. brigs Truxton and Perry had called al lla-
yana few days before.
The accounts from Mexico are ofconsiderablc
interest. embracing two prominent topics; The
efforts of the existing Government TO carry on
the war with yigor, and the efforts of sundry par
ties and eilizens TO overthrow the existing Gov
ernment.
Touching the first. the Diario, which is the Of
fetal paper, gives satisfactory accounts OF the re-
sources at the command of the Government the
augmentations of the military, &c. Ten thou
sand men, according TO this jonnal, would speed
lily be assembled at San Louis Potosi. General
Paredcs was to set out from the army on the 3Oth
July, General Bravo having arrived from Vera
Cruz to assume the Presidency ad interim.
The President Paredes issued decree on the
25lh Of July, in conformity with resolution Of
Congress, one item of which directed the issue of
letters of marque against the commerce OF the
United States.
Another decree had been issued, opening the
following ports to foreign commerce during the
continuance ofthe blockade:-Alyarado, Tuspan,
GoaizacoaIcos, Soto la Marina and Tecoluta on
the Gulf, and Mazanillo on the Pacific.
The Diario announces that two brgades, con-
sistng of 1900 men, with cannon, 500 horses
and 400 mules, had left for San Louis PotOsi;
that they were preceded on the 10th by another
brigade; and that in the equipment oil these more
than 100000 had been expended. 1t says that
subsistence for the army of 10000 has been pro-
vidcd for long time to come, and that ample
provision has been made for the payment OF the
troops as well as of the civil officers employed
by the Government.
SO much for the war. On the other hand it
appears that revolutionary movements have taxi
en- place which may and probably will defeat all
the arrangements of the Government for carry
ing on hostties against the United States. The
re-appearancc of Santa Anna on the scene was
consequent, apparently, upon the successful pro-
gress of the revolt of GuadalaXara, which had
reached Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan
d'Ulloa, and been adopted with acclamations by
the citizens of the former, and the garrison OF
the latter. The troops sent by the Government
to put down the royolt had been defeated by the
insurgents, in the department of Jaisco; and it is
said that some towns in Jalapa had ''proclaimed"
also.
We copy the following items:
A special messenger from Vera Cruz camo
passenger in the steam packet to Havana, with
letters to Santa Anna, informing him that the ci-

for him. Santa Anna Almonte, and Rejon,
Immediately took passage in the British steamer
Arab, and proceeded privately to Vera Cruz.
The city of Mexico had also declared in favor
of Santa Anna. Large subscriptions were max
ing by individuals to carry on the war. General
Parcdes was to have left ON the Goth ult. to head
the army, and Gen. Bravo was TO be President
ad interim.
The garrison of St. Juan heartily participated
in the revolution. One brigade of troops had
left the city of Mexico for Matamoras, and two
others were on the route to Camargo.
The Revoluonsts adopted the plan of the
pronunciamcnto of GuadaaXara, with some ad-
ditions.
Generals Landoro and Perez led the move
mcnt; the troops of the fortress of San Juan d.
lIlloa, also adhered to the plan. The likeness
of General Santa Anna was carried through the
streets, causing great enthusiasm and rejoicing.
The lN Republican, has several columns Of
individual voluntary subscriptions, to aid in car
rying ON the war with the United States.
1t is rumorcd in the city of Mexico, that the
different heads of the departments, especially
that of the Minister Of War; arc changing the
clerks or secretaries Of their respective depart
ments every two or throc days.
The remuneration of the present secretaries Of
the different departments are now admitted, and
they will leave their posts us soon as President
Parcdes delivers the views of Government to
Gen. Bravo.
A New York paper learns from one of the
passengers of the Adelaide, who had gathered
from gentleman who came passenger in the
English steamer from Vera Cruz to Havana, and
who had been through the American fleet ly-
lying at Vera Cruz, that there was no sickness
amongst the fleet; on the contrary both officers
and men were in perfect health.
The United States ship Potomac, Commodore
Conner, had been ashore on Green Island, near
Vera Cruz, and all her guns had to be thrown
overheard before she could be got off. 1t was
thought that she had gone TO Pensacola for re-
pairs.
The United States brigs TruXton and Perry
were off the Moro at Havana some three or four
days, but were afraid to go in on account of the
sickness at Havana, and sailed about the 9th inst
for Vera Cruz, all we'll. The Perry went to Key
West.
