FRom CAAPEAcHr AND ToBAsco.-The Pie ayune is in receipt of dates from Campeachy the 9th inst, and from Tobssco 10 he l9th November.- In ihe former place there was pronunciamento the Slh. headed by Domingo Barret, who yields reluctant acqulescence lo the wishes of hIs fellow citizens and presents himself as the chief of ile go- rious revolution which was that day commenced, and swears 10 discharge his duty with loyalty and purity. The address of Senor Bsrret does not very clearly point out the wrO"gs which by ihe revoluiion a,e sought 10 be redressed He says, however, that the dearest iaierests of Yucatan are upon the point of being lost through cabals aud intrignes. Ile is de- termined that she shall longer be the of iac- tons which succeed each other in the Government of Mexico, and which are beyond the hope of remedy.
 The garrison of Tubasco made pronunca nento on the 18th November. in the city of San Juan Bau iista de Tobasco, recently bockaded by Commo- dore Perry.
 The matter of complaint seems to be that the gem sral government has afforded that protection To the department which necessary 10 protect il from the recent invasion of the Americans. The garrison declares: First, The State of Tobaseo dis avows the Government of the Republic, whilst no

The PcAysne adds: Priva,e letlers would lead us to suppose thai design is entertained of uniting with YHcatan ia throwing of the Central Government; but the "bghts before US" are quite too faint to authorixe assert lhIs posiiisey.- We note that in the documents before MS there is - ile of that bitterness eyinced towards the United States, when they meaiioned, which we ac- cusomed 10 find in all public papers from other parts o the RepubIic.
