The bark Pario, Capt. Kinney, arrived yester-
day from Vera Cruz, where she left the 18th in
slant We have received our correspondence and
files Of papers to the 18th from Vera Cruz, and the
9Th from the capital.
The accounts Of the entire success of the revo-
lutionary movement under Paroles are confirmed.
That officer has established himself in the capital,
and has been elevated to the presidency, (ad in
terim.)
He entered the city on the I'd instant, and a
meeting Of the principal officers was held, which
provided, among other matters, for temporary gov
ernment that a junta Of "Eotables," representing
each department, should assemble, and elect
person to exercise the executive functions. The
unta accordingly assembled on the Sd, and unan-
mousy elected Paroles. Much discussion was
had as to the form of the oath that should be ad-
mnistered to the President, some of the junta de-
string that, in addition to the uusua obligations, he
should swear To "repel the usurpatons Of the Uni
ted States" This proposition did not prevail; an
oath varying but little from the customary form
was decided on. The Inauguration took place with
much ceremony on the 4th, after which Ts Drum
was celebrated in the Cathedral. The President
made an address, appealing to Heaven for the dis
lnterestedness Of his motives, and declaring that
as soon as the country had established her liberties,
he should retire. 49,.
The present ministry il composed Of d. Juan N.
Amonte, minister Of war; ID. Castillo y Lauzar,
foreign affairs; d. Luis Peres, treasury; Becerra
(bisn0p OF Chiapds) OF Jusuce.
General Valencia, formerly governor Of the city
of Mexico, has been made comptroller of she mint
Generals Tornel, Valencia, and Paroles held a
council at Guadalupe, a village few miles from
Mexico, some days since, to make arrangements to
consolidate the government. 1t will be remembered
that Tornel was formerly minister Of war and ma
rine under Santa Ana. -..
and all precautionary measures against counter
revolution have been discontinued. The Siglio XIX,
a paper which latterly was a warm partisan Of the
Herrera policy, and has been ably conducted, is
stopped the proprietor having replaced it by paper
bearing the title Memorial Hstorico," Of which
we have received the first eight numbers.
We learn verbally that Mr.. Slidell had demanded
of the new government his passports, and received
in reply that he had never been recognised by the
government and was unknown to them, no passports
were necessary, and he was at liberty to 60 where
he pleased. He then demanded an escort to Vera
Cruz, which was refused; whereuPon he despatched
messenger to the brig Somers, and number Of the
officers Of that vessel had determined to proceed to
Jalapa for the purpose Of cscorng him TO the coast
The Somers arrived at Vera Cruz on the 9th 1t will
be recollected that she sailed from Pensacola about
twenty days since with sealed orders. We place
confidence in the reports with regard TO Mr.. Slidcl
except perhaps the statement that the officers of the
Somers had gone to his assistance; and If he had in
in fact been refused a safe escort by the Mexican
government, nothing can be more reasonable or
probable than that naval officers within reach OF
his call should resolve to leave him to the pers
of the journey alone Letters OF the 18th, however
only make mention Of the fact that Mr.. Sdell had
demanded his passports, shaving failed in the OBJ
jects Of his mission"
The Picayune Of the same date says:
"a number ofimportant dispatches were received
by the Pario, which were yesterday forwarded to
Washington by mail. SO Gar as we can learn, no
letters have been received in town from Mr.. Slidel
of late date Our own opinion is that at the time
the Paro sailed that gentleman was at Puebla.
1.-THE United States brig Somers, Commander
Gerry, arrived at Vera Cruz on the 9Th inst, and
was lying at SACRIFICES on the 18th. The British
brig Persian, the French brig Chiffon, and the Span
ish brig Pstriota, were likewise lying there. The
Spanish brig Jason was in port. These were al
the foreign vessels of war at Vera Cruz. The schr
Creole and hermaphrodite brig Petersburg were in
port"
