REVOLUTION IN TABASCO'

REVOLUTION IN TABASCO'
The Yucatan schooner Fernando, Capt.
Piuson, arrived at this por, yesterday from
Campeachy having sailed on the 3Oth
August. She brought US no papers nor
any verbal news of interest from Yucatan.
A letter from Laguua, dated as far back
as The Sd of August. makes mention OF the
arrival there Of the U. S. brig Somers, Tor
water aud provisions. She Immediately
departed. her commander giving an intima-
ton that Tabasco would be speedily block
AIDED, unless peace were brought about be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
From Tabasco the news by this arrival
is of some slight Importance. On The 18th
Of August the garrison stalioned as Sas
Juan Baulista declared against The gov
ernmeut of Paredes and in favor Of Santa
Anna. We are indebted 10 commercial
house for copy Of The ".acts," signed ny
Gen. Juan Bu,ista Traconis and other OH.
GERS Of The garrison. 1t is not worth trans
la,ing, bu, we !may say Of it that it follows
furnished by Santa Anna from Havana.
The evils Of the country are attributed 10
the overthrow of The constitution OF le42,
and to The successive factions which have
since usurped the place Of a free govern
ment. The monarchical designs OF Pa
redea are denounced as offensive TO the
nation and as threatening the destruction
of the army. Six articles are then adopted
Of the following tenor: The first repudi-
ates the Cong ress summoned by Paredes,
the second calls for a Congress, the mem
bers ofwhich are TO be elected in pursuance
Of the law of 1924 the third provides for
the assembling Of Congress within four
months the fourth guarantees the existance
Of the army the fifty denounces any op-
position to The Congress to be called or 10
the constitution which it may adopt; and
the sixth proclaims Gen. Santa Anna to be
the chief Of the revolution, ant calls him
10 take the command i'm 1iedialely upon
his arrival. In this last article there is nc
implied censrre upon the former conduct
of Santa Anna. and in this it dsffers from
all the pronunciamentos we have seen made
in the other Departments. AS they knew
well at Tabasco that the revolution II
Mexico, Puebla and Vera Cruz would
restore Santa Anna to power. we suppose
they made this omission as their amend fn
declaring so late for him: .-.
