The Mexican schooner Julia arrived here
this morning from Vera Cruz, which place she
left on the 30th alt, bringing us papers from
that place to the 9sth ut., and from the city of
Mexico to the Esd ult. The Julia also brought
]. Tlghmaa Hoffman, Esq bearer of despatch
les to our Government, from whom we learn
that Paroles was certainly on his march TO the
city Of Mexico, and that our Minister, Mr.. Sill
dell, was still there, From the Vera Cruz and
Mexico papers we have hurredIy CLEANED the
following important news:
The Moniteur of the list ult. says that the
Supreme Government has appointed General
RIstamente Commander in Chief, and Genl
RorreGon his second in command, of the army
tn oppose Gen. Paroles. That paper says the
Government is indciaiigably working TO queIl
the revolt, and that it has already taken the
necessary measures to put the capital III state
Of defence, and given Out 5000 guns to be dis
trbuted among the citizens. On the list ut.,
the Senate cencurred with the Government IN
giving Dictatorial powers to President Herrera.
El Siglo SAYS that Paroles had seized upon the
public treasury of the Fair at st. Juan, which
had been committed to his charge. FL Vera
cruzana of the 26th says that on the $50 sa-
lutte from the castle of San Juan de UlIoa, I'M
der the command of CASANOVA, announced the
first movement of the Army and Navy in favor
of the proclamation of San Louis Potosi, by
Gen. Paroles, and that it was Immediately Sc
conded by the garrison of the place, at whose
head is the brave Laudero, with the exception
Of part OF the battalion Sigero, numbering
about 100 men, who left their barracks with
their officers, refusing to Join their companions
This body, as they were marching OUT fired a
volley on those who remained, killing cap"
tain and ten veterans, and W0unding three 9th
e-s.
1t then marched to the Government palace,
and was ordered to quarter in the Convent OF
San Francisco, where they remained at the
latest dates The same paper says that at u
later hour it learned thar the city and garrison
Of Jalapa had pronounced in favor Of Paroles,
and that it was momentariiy waiting for s''nl-
lar movement in Orisana and the fortress or
Perote.
On the 23d the forces Of Paroles were said
to be only three days march from the Guy OF
Mexico
On the 24th, the troops at Pueblg under
Gen. Incln, who haG received orders 70 march
to the capital, refused to depart, and Il was
certain that, notwithstanding the rtlDrt5 OF the
General to the contrary, they would seen de-
clare in favor Of PLrcdls,
Mexico, It was said, would il 4 few days
open it's gates to Paredcs.
The Vera Cruzena Of the 20.h, says that It
learns by letters, Of responsible persons, from
Mexico, that the mbeclIe and short-sigHted
Cabinet had morLgaged TO England the depart
ment OF Yucatah, on condition that she would
cav its immense debt. There, says that pa
per, are facts that will soon be divulged.
A circular Of the 24th, transmitted by Pre-
sdent Herrera 10 the Governors Of the differ
ent Departments, delegates to said Governors
the tremendous extraordinary powers with
which Congress had invested him, and already
had the capital Of the republic began TO feel!
the weight Of such daspotsm, as imprison-
ments, irrespective of persons or characters,
had become common, and even the Arch Bish-
op Garduno, had been obliged to fly from tho
persecution that awaited him. Gen. Ampu-
dia had gone over to the reyolutionists, and
the Government troops had publicly espOused
their cause.
Gen. Almonte was concealed, fearing per-
seculions.
The latest intelligence is to the effect chat
Perote had declared itself for Paredes, and that
the numerous cavalry Of that General " ere IN
the near vicinity of the Capital. His artillery
and infantry were between the city and Aroya-
Sarco. The cities Of Orizava and Guanaiu ia
to had also declared for Paredes at the APP
proach of his forces.
Gen. Urea, says FL Siglo of the 18th, has
been defeated by the forces of Generals Cam
puzona and Cuesta each party having lost
about 60 persons.
The same paper says that the Government
Council, after long elaboration, had determn-
&c not to receive MIR. Slidell in his ordinary Of
fetal capacity, notwithstanding its previous en-
gagement to receive PleDlpotentiary from the
United States with special powers to treat OF
the subject Of Texas. This conclusion OF the
Government took place after Mr.. Parrot had
reached Mexico on his return from the United
States.
