If f. Hunt. Lieut.. Com'dg, from Vera Cruz,
81 arrived al this port on Wednesday morn
J Ing last. We are indebted 10 friend on

Pensacola Ga aette
REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.
!. Mr.. Editor:
II As several very important changes have
. recently taken place in Mexico, having
more or less beering upon our relations
u with that country, propose TO give you
i brief account o: them, which cannot fail
, to interest your readers, as we'll as the
. public generally. We took down TO Vera
D Cruz, Mr.. VIM. 81 Parrot, our Mexican
Secretary Of Legation, who bore despatch
e es for the Minister. Upon our arrival al
. Sacri6cos, we found that Mr.. Slidel (our
Minster) had preceded us some ten days.
. tie had been received with every demon
slraton of respect by the authorities at
Vera Cruz, and had proceeded on his
f, way TO the capitol. Lieut. Kennedy, of
the 81. Mary'S, accompanied him with a
! view Of bringing back his dispatches for
the government. After Mr.. Slidell had
been some days in the capitol, he was
formally notified, by the Mexican gov
ernment, that 1t could not receive him in
the capacity in which he came, which
, was that OF ENJOY extraordinary and Min
ister plenipOtentiary-the government no!
considering itself bound by thee promise
lit had made us Of receiving special min
lister charged with the negotiation Of the
Texan difficulty, to receive the usual
minister resident sent from one friendly
power TO another, as the reception ofthls
latter, would imply state OF pacific and
friendly intercourse which does not exis:.
The government, however, dill not re.
qure that Mr.. Sidel should Withdraw
from the country-on the contrary, it,
gave him permission 10 retire to Jalapa,
a pleasant little town some sixty mil les
from Vera Cruz there to await the far.
Their instructions Of his government.
Such was the state Of things when the 81.
Mary'S sailed, and The above was no doubt,
the substance Of Mr. Slidel's despatch TO
the government by that vessel. In the
mean time, the country was on the eve
OF revolution, which broke out the mex
day alter the s. Nlary's left 1t will be
recolected, that General Paroles com
manded division of the Army, called
the "Army Of the reserve" and stationed |
in the Department Of San. Louis Potosi-
the Department adjoining TamauIipas, in
which latter Department rampico is sit.
uated; which army was destined to Sc
cond any movement that might be made
by Gen. Arista, who commanded on the
Northern frontier. II we may Judge by
the tone Of the correspo ndence, which has |
passed between Gen. Paroles and the
Minister Of war, and which has been pub
lshed in the Vera Cruz papers, hisI
troops, as well as those Of Arista, we're
exceedingly anxious to commence the Wa
upon Texas; to enable him to do which,
he mportuned the government for the ne
'cessary supplies, which is denied him,
unde7 one pretext or other, although i'll
had, as Paroles alleges, ample funds for
the purpose in the five million loan au
thorlsed by Congress. The army grow.
ing tired of the state Of inactivity 10 which
the government had reduced it, naturally
became disaffected, The opposition press
tanned this spark Of disafiection into al
flame. The most vehement and bitter de
nunciatlons were, every day, launched
against the administration, charging i;
with every species Of p.ion-rraud,
peculation and even treason, in entertain
ing the design Of re,opening negotiations
with the United States for the sale Of Tex
as, New Mexico and California and after
the arrival Of Mr.. SIidelI, it aleged that
this gentleman came among them en-
powered to offer n corrupt bride Of five or
SIX millions OF dollars, asthe price Of their
dlshonor and treason. These attacks fol-
lowed each other in quick succession, and
we're written with warmth and ability
The following extract from the "Vera-
cruzano Libre," will give you just idea
OF the tone of the opposition press, gene
rally, which, as they say, is the tone Of
the whole Mexican people;
"No! The sale Of Texas shall cot be
consummated, neither under the pretext
OF settling boundaries shall the perlidious
Yankees extend their rapacity to other D.
partments, not less rich and precious
Let them keep their infamous brbs of five
or six millions Of dollars, as the valiant
Mexican Army does not deal in such t
probrlous transactions with the enemies t
of its country, aud is resolved to defend ,
10 the life ofthe last veteran the integrity $
OF the territory and the national honor" /
The disaffection which had been thus +
gathering head, broke on. into open re- /
bellion and revolution as soon as the ar f
rival of Mr.. Slidell was made known al \
the head quarters Of Gen. Paroles, who |
forthwith issued his pronunciamiento, or !
