FROM MEXICO.
LATE AND InPoRTAET.-By the Mexican schoon-
er Joaquina, Martinez master, which elt Tampiep
on the LIST instant, have late and important intel
hgence from Mexico. The Tumors which have been
for some weeks IN circulation that General Paroles
had at last declared against the government, APP
pear al length likely to be verified by the course he
- pursuing. revolution Is now on foot, or has
already been cOnsummated. This arrival being from
Tampieo, We have not usual files, so as TO be
able 10 give continuous narrative Of eyentf; but
rom the extracts OF newspapers and plaeards be-
fore VI, We are enabled TO form some opinion Of
what Is going on.
The revelation in progress commenced with the
army OF reserve" stationed at San Luis Potosi.
The citation and feTment preliminary TO all out
break, probably gave occasion 10 the Tumor which
was Ia circulation in Vera Cruz on the Isl
December, when the British steamer len for
Havana. IL Was fortnight after that, that things
reached a crisis On the l4lh December, the
epmmandant general Of the department, ID. Man
uel Romero, invited TO his residence, at San
Luis Potosi, the superior and other officers Of
the army OF reserve, well of the garrison Of the
department. Being there assembled Gen. Romero
read 10 them manifesto prepared for the occasion,
ia which the duties OF the armed force OF the coun-
Try well pointed out, but grave political evils
assigned 10 excuse themselves for the act they
about 10 commit. The manifesto alleges that the
existing administration, from which year since all
had hoped so we'll had conducted the government IN
the very brink Of precipieei that ii had established
the most prepOsterous theories upon which 10 adj
minister internal affairs; that II sought 10 get rid ola
war, necessary and glorious in itself by Concessions
injurious 10 the national dignity, and which were
the sole barrier to the ambitious designs Of nation
as powerful il peTfdous; that il had proposed
law OF which the atroeiiy was without example,
by which 10 arm the vile and ignorant those having
the least stake in the country and thus TO find a
substitute for the army which opposed It's views
that Il had repeatedly thwarted the purpose Of the
army TO move upon Texas, and at the same time
allowed the army 10 be Vlllihed for It's naction by
Official journals; that Il had admitted commissioner
with whom II was endenyonng TO arrange for the
loss Of the integrity Of the TePublc that IL had re-
duced the country almost 10 state Of anarchy, IN
the midst Of which It existed without revenue
without power, and almost without will; and,
considering that these evils demanded an imme-
date remedy, and that the administration con-
fessed It's total incompetency and poweTlessneAs
considering that il had lost all respeetabily,
cessary TO a government, and had allowed pleni-
potentiary OF the United States to set foot in the
country and reside in the capital with view TO bar
gain for the Independence and nationality Of the
country, which have been many sdcTihcss-oon-
slderng all these, and other grievances which we
have not room even TO mention, the manifesto then
proposes for the consideration Of the unto prop
ositions which we Snnex below.
We have not aimed to give the preamble in all
its verbose and ponderous details, but infer from il
ha, the following propositions sought TO he for
u6ed mainly by the total ncapaety OF the existing
administration, and It's readiness to negotiate with
the United States for Texas and the CALIFORNIA;
But to the propositions:
/. The army supports with arms the protest
which the nation makes against every future act Of
the existing administration, and from this day forth
will hold such act void and Of no effect.
2 The present chambers Of Congress and Of the
Executive, not being able TO continue their func-
tons, from this time their authority over the army
ceases.
g. Immediately after the army occupies the capi-
tai Of the republic, extraordinary Congress shall
be conyoked, with ample powers To constitute the
nation without any restriction IN Its august func-
tons.
a. In the formation Of this Congress shall be
combined the represention Of all classes ofsociey.
s. When il is installed and enters upon the exer-
else Of its high functions, it shall organize the
eutive power and no authority shall be able to exist
without its sovereign sanction.
g. In the departments the authorities, per-
sonay, as at present in power, shall continue so
unul tney are replaced Dy tnObe WnOH the nhUOnal
representation may substitute.
T. The army names for It's chief in this political
movement his excellency the General Of division ID.
Mariana Paroles y Arriaga, whom il shall at once
invite TO accede, by committee named from the
body of this same junto, the assembly remaining in
session until his resolution is known.
g. Another committee shall be named to invite the
worthy governor and assembly of this department
that they adhere to these propositions.
g. The army protests, in the most solemn man.
ner, that it does not regard, nor will it regard, in
any event, the personal elevation of the chief whom
il has selected.
10. AT the same time it solemnly declares its de-
termination to punish severely whoever shall with
arms oppose the present plan; in evidence Of all Of
which, they will subscribe their names.
To this document is attached the signatures Of
great number of the officers Of the army, commence
ing with General Romero, and to which we also see
affixed the names of Generals Simeon Ramirez, Jose
Maria Gonzalez Arevao, Andres Terres, Manuel
de la Portilla, and Jose Maria Garcia
The solemn act of the army of reserve having
been fully considered by the governor and assembly
of the department ofSan Luis Potos was by them,
on the 18th of December last, fully approved.
They declare the movement to be entirely patri-
otto, and believe it will receive the sanction Of the
nation
committee of general officers at once APP
pointed who communicated the above act to Gen.
Paroles in communication setting forth the des.
perate situation of their country, and their firm
lance upon him to save it. We have not his reply,
but private letters have been recsved, which, taken
with the proceedings at Tampico, leave no doubt
that he has acceded to the demands made of him.
The action of the jun,o, intact may iairlypresumc
to have been dictated by Gen. Paroles. He adopts
the usual transparent DISCUSSES of usurpers to cover
his designs.
On the Goth December, meeting of the officers
stationed at Tampico, was held the residence of
Gen d. Anastasio Parrodi, the commandant general
of the department, and the proceedings of the army
at San Luis were laid before them They then for
mally approved the solemn act of the army, by af-
fixing their signatures to a document in which they
recite that it is the only possible course to save the
nation from the ruin into which it il succumbng
through the apathy and incapacity Of the admins
tration. They declare that the government has
given unequivoca proof that it does not wish to
make campaign against Texas, thus opposing it.
self to the wishes Of the nation and that with the
utmost efironery in the face Of the entire world, it
is treating with the Uuited States for the sale of the
territory Of Texas and, perhaps, Of that Of the Cali
fornas They then adopt, as their own in every re-
spcct, the action of the army Of reserve, and direct
their proceedings to be communicated to General
