We received by the barque Tacio, arrived
yesterday from Havana, a full file of Ell In
dicador, the Vera Cruz journal for the month
Of August. The several numbers of this pa.
per are principally filed with the Actas and
PTOnunciameicat0eS of the different depart
ments and principal cities, which are but ste
rcotyped copies Of similar documents already
seen by our readers, and likewise the first
five articles Of the plan of Guadalajura
Accounts had been received at Vera Cruz
on the I'd Of August that a detachment OF
5000 American troops were on their march
from Camargo to Monterey. The editor Of
FL Indicator earnestly urges the necessity of
opposing their advance. Robbery and ru-
III, he alledges will follow their steps, which
he asserts are the main objects Of the lnva-
sion.
This paper advocates strongly the cause

On the Esd it was rumored in the city Of
Mexico, that about q week after that date
public proclamation would be made, declar-
ing the Federal Constitution Of 1924 in OPP
Grafton until ratified or amended by Con-
gress.
Strong hopes were entertained in Vera
Cruz, about the 2Sth Of August, that Cam
peachy would pronounce i'll favor of Santa
Anna, and as a consequence that 4ucatan
would again voluntarily join the contedera-
ton.
We give below Santa Annals proclamation
to the troops Of San Juan de Uloa.
BRETnREN IN ARMS! Your generous
call having reached me in exile, l could no
longer be indifferent to it, seeing that it was
but an echo of the solicitations made for my
return from other departments. 1t were IN
possible for me not to watch with so'icitude
the calamities that have been crowding on
our unfortunate country. / could not but
feel an absorbing interest in the progress Of
the national conflict in which she is engaged.
Your conduct, brethren in arms, has been no.
ble-patriotic. BY declaring in favor Of the
plan Of Gaudalajara, you have rendered an i'm
portant service to the nation. For this the
nation will not forget you, nor suffer your
sacrifices to be forgotten in the shade OF OBJ
livion.
The joy which I feel, my friends, in finding
myself once more among you, is unbounded,
and when | see you, as | do, with the strong
est feelings Of enthusiasm devoted to the SER
vice of our common country, my satisfaction
is unbounded. Relying on your patriotism
and virtue, l hurried to join you as soon as it
was possible for me to do so; and | am now
here for the purpose OF cooperating with
you in working out the salvation Of the Re.
public-rescuing it from impending ruin, and
raising it from the ignominious position TO
which it had been reduced by treason and
imbecility.
The cause which we are about to espouse
is a just one-aye, a just one. 1t eXacts from
the devoted sons of the Mexican nation, great
and heroic sacrifices. Never, perhaps, be-
fore, have we brandished our swords in a
cause more noble. True, everything is des-
troyed, but we, with the spirit, and aided
by the Mexican people, can everything re-
create. Let US then to our duty, and Ia
Dor necessarily till we raise the Republic
from the abject position in which at this mo-
mentit finds i~tself,on account Of the Infamous
conduct of those against whom you have rails
ed the cry Of indignation-who without legal
right or recognized mission, uSurped the ma
tional power.
Finally, we will by our joint efforts, con-
tribute to fix at once the destinies Of the ma
ton.
Soldiers Of the Republic a proud and no
BILE sentiment animated me when the happi-
ness was mine, to lead you to the battle field
against the foreign enemies of our country
With feelings similar I appear again at this
mo lent to defend the rights Of nationality
We will cause our insulted eagles to rise VIC
torious in The midst Of the combat the nation
shall te tenfold indicated for the numerous
outragcs she has sustained, and we shall ex-
act for her that respect which Of right she
merits. In this enterprise, brother soldiers,
the glory that awaits us is immense! Be
then as you have always been-brave, subor-
dinate, patient. And doubt it not, the mis-
sion which Providence has signed us, we
will consummate with the happiest success.
