IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
REVOLUTION IN JALIsco.

REVOLUTION IN JALISco.
BY way Of Brazos Santiago we re-
ceived yesterday copy of Ell Locomo-
tor of Vera Cruz, of the 9Th instant,
which is four days later than the advices
received by the Falmouth. The news
is important, and confirms our former
speculatons and anticipations.
A revolution has broken out in the
important department of Jalsco. 1t
commenced the morning of the goth
Nav, in the city of Guadalajara. The
battalion Of Lagos, followed by other
bodies of military and by the enthusl-
astic populace, attacked the palace OF
the governor. The assault was so
prompt that the defenders had scarcely
time for single discharge of artillery,
by which one man only was killed and
one wounded. The cry Of the assail-
ants was "Long live the republic, and
death to foreign prince" Some Of
the troops at the palace recognised
friends among the assailants, and re-
fused to fire upon them. A company
from San Juan de los Lagos joined the
insurgents, and very soon after the SOL
diers composing the garrison, so general
was the disaffection. Some of the
leaders Of the government troops were
arrested, to save them from the fury OF
the insurgents--among others, General
Galindo and the ex-governor, Don An
tonic Escovedo. Some further skir-
mishing took place between the insur-
gents and some troops OF cavalry IN the
pay of the government, and prepara-
lions were making on both sides for a
general engagement the next day,
when Gen. Francisco Duque, who had
taken the command Of the government
troops, proposed a par!ey, with view
to spare the effusion Of blood. Com
mlssioners were appointed on each
side, and the result of the deliberate ms
was that Gen. Duque, with the Off,
GERS and troops under his command.
were allowed to retire with the honors
of war, they pledging themselves to re-
tire at once from Guadalajara, and the
department Of Jalisco of which it IS the
capital, and proceeded Immediately to
the city of Mexico by route to be de-
signated for them. They were TO be
provided with necessaries for the march.
and were allowed till the morning of
the 23d to make preparations for de-
parture. Gen. Duque and his officers
were compelled to pledge themselves
that they would commit no act OF hos
tility against the troops who had "pro-
nounced," nor against the cause for
which they had pronounced. The 9TH
er terms of agreement are unlmport-
ant, but the insurgents dictated all.
Don Jose Maria Yanez, styled in his
proclamations "commander-in-chief Of
the second division Of the republican
army" was at the head of the insur-
rection. meeting of the insurgent
officers, headed by him, formal "Acta"
on the part of the garrison was drawn
up and signed. After reciting what
in their own view have been the cause
of the continual revolutions in Mexico,
the principal Of which is the destruc-
ton OF their former free constitution -
after denouncing the project of erect
ing throne in Mexico with a foreign
prince-after protesting against the
Congress called by Paredes, in which
the national will cannot be represent
ed-and after reciting various other al
legged grievances, an "Acta" or "Plan"
is proclaimed for the regeneration Of
the republic.
We are too crowded to enter any
further into the subject of this revolu.
ton to-day. Numerous considerations
will suggest themselves at once to the
reader as to its effect upon the war
with us. The paper before us con-
tains no other news. til3
