from Mexico. The rumors which have been
for some weeks in circulation. that Paroles

appear at length likely TO he verified By the
course he Is pursuing. A revolution is now
on foot, or has already been consummated.
The revolution in progress commenced with
the Army of reserve" stationed at San Luis
Potos On the 14th Dec, the Commandant
General Of the Department, d. Manuel Rome.
70, invited 10 his residence al San Luis Poiosi
the superior and other officers of the Army of
reserve, as wei! as of the garrison of the De.
partment. Being there assembled, Gen. Ro.
nero read 10 them manifesto, prepared for
the occasion, in which the duties of the armed
force Of the country are well pointed out, but
grave political evils are assigned 10 excuse
themselves for the act they commit.
The manifesto we have no, room for, bu, il
condemns, in detail. of course, all the present
government is doing and it has been well re.
ceived, and adopted, by other divisions of the
army.
These concur in declaring that the Govern.
ment has given unequivocal proof ,ha it does
not wish to make campaign against Texas,
and that with the utmost etrontery, II ls treat
ing with the United States for the sale of the
territory of Texas, and perhaps of that of the
Callfornias. They then adopt, as their own

municated to Gen. Arisia. and urgently en-.
treat him to unite his forces to the army of
Paroles to secure the well being of the Re-
public.
So far as we can learn from verbal intelligence
and letters received here, no act of violence
whatever occurred. A letter received 10 town
from respectable commercial house, states
that Paroles had actually commenced his
march against the city Of Mexico. at the head
of 5000 men, and expresses conviction tina.
the affair may even be settled then. The
writer is of opinion that Paroles will refuse
to trea. with Mr.. Slidell. and probably de-
clare paper war and send him away" The
writer says that be looks upon actual war as
idle talk--n his own words, "as all hum

The servant girl with the little boy, were

Strong and the servant girl were first awaken

Mrs. Strong, at the instant she turned and
