As have but little intercourse with the shore a,
this place, my means of obtaining Information an to
passing events arc consequently very limited. From
me papers published 10 Che ciy Of Mexico, learn
that General Almonte has resigned the Office OF
Minister Of War and Marine, and has been sue
eeeded by General Tornei. The government has
been for some time endeayoring TO obtain (but with
Out success loan Of nearly two millions OF dollars
for which the property ofthe church was offered as
security. 90 = .a-7 hUH a"..'lI af % rr-lr
The papers Of the capital also state that within
the last ten days force Of nearly eight thousand
men including large portion Of tho garrison oi
Mexico, has marched for the northern frontier. :
attach htrle credit to the statement IL Is the gene
raj opinion here that the present state Of affairs can
not last for any length Of time. With the excep-
uon OF the military, the recent revolution is re-
eeived by all classes with much dissatisfaction.
Even union Of the federalists with the Santa Ana
ISIS Is spoken OF as probable for the overthrow Of
the present party.
Mr.. Slidel is still at Jalapa; and, though unlike
ly as Il may appear, have Il from very good au-
thority that is probable he will yet be received by
the Mexican government.
am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ID. CONNER,
Commanding Home Squadron.
To Brig. Gen. u, TAYLOR,
Commanding Army of Occupation, Texas.

CITIZENS An arbitrary power has been estab-
lished IN Mexico derogatory to our legally const-
tuted authorities. oue part Of the army Tor, II you
like, the whole Of III has been the author Of so scam
dalous an achievement Like the Pretoran guards,
who destroyed the nationality OF Rome, our SOL
dlers have been made the arbrtrators and regulators
OF the destnies OF our country. Can YOU suffer
this with supinenesS The inhabitants ofthe north
ern frontier are sot TO be so persuaded. am satis-
he'd OF their sentiments, and they will ne rish hou-
sand times before they will recognise 20 yernl uent
without a national election, and without more an
thoriiy 10 command than the ephemera and nom en-
tary triumph OF his arms over the capital Of the o
public.
Cnizens, this Is worthless as we have before
seen; council Of generals is not able TO Judge of
the institutions Of the country. These are not mil
itary crimes that the regulations will bring under
their cognizance.
More than this it is useless to say of the griey-
ances Of those unnatural soldiers who have turned
arms against tn r country, But if you are sens-
BILE Of It, what necessity for explanations Elo-
quence and even language itself is superhuous. No
one knows the intenseness Of grief better than him
who suffers. By your efforts you passed from a
federai TO central government, under which YOU
were promised the loftest riches glory and respect-
ability; but a mournfal and very grievous expert
ence has convinced as that to nations once thus con-
sttuted, such change, instead Of benefits, has
brought nothing but humiliation before strangers,
misery and, II we succamb, our slavery and that Of
our slavery and that Of our chrildren. The federal
was sanctioned in 1924 by the constu-
uonal Congress; let US turn and read its glorious
manifest and then hate more and more the authors
Of our disgrace.
Let us then declare an eternal war to the death:
thus should the people do who rise against their op
pressors Let our voice be unanimous Liberty or
death TO our tyrants, and triumph will crown your
efforts.
This plan which have this day announced to
my regiment, has no other object To save Mexico
or perish is our resolution God will help u.s. for
his providence only, in wrath, has given these ty-
rants dominion over us.
These are the sentiments of the northern frontier
and those Of your. fellow-citzen and friend,
ANTONIO C ANALES.
