THE THREATENED REVOLUTION IN
n61xxoo,
&c. &c.

The steam frigate Mississippi, Capt. Fitzhugh,
arrived at Pensacola the 9Th inst, from Vera
Cruz. We yesterday published portion Of the
news brought by her.
| 1t now appears by letter from our cores
pondent, that it is at all unlikely that she is
the bearer of some important intelligence, or pro-
position from the Mexican to the American Gov
eminent
We give the letter, at any rate, ms we have
ceived it, and it may speak for ITSELF 1t is not in-
probable that the Mexicans should step forward
and ask for peace, after such battles as were
fought on the fields of Palo Alto, and Resaca de
la Palma.
But in day or two, perhaps, we shall learn ALL
Annexed is the letter:
PENSACOLA, June s, 1916.

| Ihave endeavored to get hold of the news which
the Mississippi brings, in order to inform you.
She arrived late last evening, five days from Ve-
ra Cruz, with bearer of dispatches There is a
good deal of mystery attending the subject of
these dispatches, and what they refer to- 1t is
stated hatit is to inform the department that the
Constitution, and one two other ships, had sail
ed from Mazatlan before contrary orders were re-
ceived. But it is said that this is but cloak-for
it seems singular that Dr. Wood and Mr.. Parrot
should hare been permitted to remain in Merico the
,cithomt molestation. Again, an expensive ship
! like the Mississippi, would not have been with
drawn from the blockade without some strong
reason. No doubt, as the suspicion is, she brings
proposals from Paroles to the government This,
the officers say, is the most probable cause.
| The news ofthe battle with Gen. Taylor had
rived In Mexico AT first they endeavored to sup
press the accounts; and afterwards it was treated
as skrmish. Paredes was trying all he could to
collect troops, estensby to 60 to the frontier; but
the true cause was, to put himself at the head Of
a body OF men, 10 wait events which the
luton would bring forth 1t was supposed he
would retire, and await to declare, for the popular
iavorlte.
More full news OF the battle and capture OF Ma
tamoras and details, was known at Vera Cruz.
They put down their forces at 5000, and the Anne
| rlcans at ,OO3-and their loss at three thousand
killed, wounded, prisoners and runaways
No mention is made of any more troops be-
ing sent towards Matamoras; in fact, no troops
| could be collected.
The news from Mexico is quite important.
The western provinces had pronounced for Santa
Anna.
|, Vera Cruz was on the point of revolution and
the time had been appointed to pronounce. But
owing to the increasing popularity of Gen. Bra
vo, it was put of, and the Presidency offered to
HIM, which he reiused.s
have just seen Mr. Diamond, (censul,) who
came up in the Mississippi he says he saw
full plan OF the revolution, which was shown to
him, and since Bravo would not be President,
Santa Anna is decided upon.
Quite gentlemanly warfare in going on at Vera
Cruz. Gen. Bravo had permitted all American
also good
Gregory in return for this had permitted three
vessels to pass in from Tobasco, stating that he
too could not make captures OF the enemy's YES,
sells under such generous treatment. He had
however placed on parole two Mexican field Off
GERS, found on board one Of them. Gen. Bravo,
wishing to keep up the correspondence, expressed
regrets that he could not send on board fresh pro-
visions; to which Capt. Gregory replied he was
well supplied at present, but he regretted to state,
that he might find it necessary before long, to
come on shore and take some
This gentlemanly warfare had not been in con-
tnuation long, for General Bravo had been quite
riled up by the Missssippi's first captures being
Yucatan vessels, which were permitted TO pass
free, with the assurance that their vessels would
not be molested However, he had cooled down.
Quite sensation had been caused by an Ame-
rican bark from New York running the block
ade, after she had been informed that war existed.
She had ammunition and stores aboard. We pity
the captain, should he be taken.
| This Mexico is what the boosters call great
country They think our Generals are like their
own. The strongest one Of these last collect n
body OF men, and either from effect of superior
force, or skirmish with the government troops, a
revolution is made, and on marches the leader to
take the affairs of Government in his own hands
| Such is the popular belief Of the ignorant people
of Mexico now. They think that Gen. Taylor is
marching on to be President, and that Paredes is
strengthening himself against him. Well, who
knows whether Taylor will be President or not. of
either Mexico the United States | have no
doubt he will be. Huzza for Gen. Taylor! Our
officers state that no difficulty would be found by
Gen. Taylor prronouncing, and marching on to
Mexico. Paredes might make some resistance
at the city, but Taylor could be President as well
as any other general.
P. s. Since writing this, DIR. Wood has said, in
conversation with him, that il was thought in
Mexico that no relief could be expected from
England whatever. And Paroles was collecting
what troops he could press around him, to sustain
himself IN the revolution No hope was express
ed OF sending more troops to Matamoras Mr..
Diamond says, that ere this, the revolution has
broke forth. The U. S. ship John Adams sailed
to-day, for Vera Cruz.
