Revolution i'll Jalisco.
By way OF Brazos Santiago we received yes
erday copy OF IL Locomoisr OF Vera Cruz of
the 9Th inst, which is tour DAYS later than the
advices received By the Falmouth. The news is
important and confirms our former speculalions
and anlicipalions.
A revolution has broken out in the important
Department of Jasco. II commenced The morn
ing OF the Goth May, in The city Of Guadalajara
The battalion Of Lagos, followed by other bodies
OF military and by The enthusiastic popuace, at
lacked 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 assailants was "Lons live the Repub-
lie and death 10 foreign Prince" Some OF The
troops al the Palace recognized friends among
The assaianis and refused 10 fire OH them. A
company form San Juan dc los Lagos joined The
insurgents, and very soon after the soldiers com
posing the garrison, 50 general was the dsallec
lion. Some Of the leaders Of The Government
The insurgenls-amons others, Gen. Gaindn and
The Ex-Governor Don Antonio Escoveio. Some
further skrmishing took place between the in
snrgents and some troops OF cavalry in the payot
The Government, and preparations were making
on both sides for general engagement The mex;
day, when Gen. Francisco DEque, who had taken
the command Of the Government troops, proposed
paIlev with a view 10 spare the efusion OF
blood. Commissioners were appointed on each
side, and the result Of The deliberations was that
Gen. Duque. with the officers and troops under
his command were allowed TO retire with the no.
nors of war, they pletging themselves 10 retire al
once from GuadalaJara and the Department al
Jaisco, Of which il is the capital, and proceed i'm
medalely to the city Of Mexico by route 10 lie

tious nr departure. IIen. Duque and his officers
were compelled 10 pledge themselves that they
wonl Commit no act ol hostility aga inst the troops
who had pronounced" nor against the cause for
which they had pronounced. The other terms
OF agreement are unimporlant bur the insurgents
dictated all.
Don jose Maria Yanez styled in his procla-
nations "Commander-in-Chirt Of the Second
Division CT the Republican Army" was at the
head Of the insurreclion. Al meeting OF the
inSuTsent officers headed by him, formal "Acla"
on the part Of tho garrison was drawn up and
signed. After reci;ing what in their view have
been the causes OF he continual revolutions in
Mexico, the principal OF which is the destruction
Of their former tree Consiiluiion-aller denoun-
cling the project Gt erecting a hrcne in Mexico
with foreign prince-afer protesting against
the Congress called by Paroles, in which the ma
lional will cannot be represenled-and after re-
citing various other alleged grievances, an
"Acta" or "Plan" proclaimed Tor the resenera-
lion of the Republic. 1t is divided into ten art-
cles.
The first dsowns The call for the Congress, as
made by ParedeS as an open attempt against
the sovereignty OF The naen, and as issued with
view 10 establish throne in Mexico, 10 be fill
ed hy foreign prince.
The second declares shat new Congress shall
be summoned, the members 10 be elected By he
people, according 10 the electoral laws Of 1921
This Congress TO be charged with forming Con-
stitu,ion, in which the monaTchical principles is
10 be utterly excluded
The third article provides that Congress shall
assemble in four months after the liberaiing
forces shall have gained possession of The capital.
The fourth guarantees The existence Of The
army
The fifth declares traitors whoever shall oppose
the meeting of the above Congress. make an al
tempt upon the liberty Of lis members, or dissolve
Constitution which il establishes.
The sixth article is as follows:
"As Gen. Don An'onia Lopez de Santa Anna
had the glory Of founding the Republic, AMI
whatever mag have been his errors has been lis

and the nslisaliuns OF some perverse Mexicans,
and opposed himself 10 the usurpalon by North
America The garrison Of Jalisco proclalms tie
said General as the Chief in the grand enterprise
for which this plan is entered inlo'
The seventh article appropriates The fourth
part of the products or revenues OF the Depart
ments to the prosecution Of the war "wilh Texas
and North America" this fourth part 10 be remit
ted TO the army direct.
The three remaining articles regard the admin
stralon Of the laws in The Department. and are
OF little general importance.
This plan was adopted and signed on The Goth
of MAY. We have, bes des, the address OF Gen.
Yanez 10 the troops under his command. and 10
the citizens Of Jasco. Don Juan \. Cunpliio
is recognized as provisional Governor ol the De-
partmcn, but he is 10 take al oath TO sustain tie
republican form OF Government which may be
adopted, ITO repel the infamous usurpation made
By the North Americans" 10 prevent Mexico
from falling victim oforeisn influences, and
otherwise 10 conform to The national will, as
manifested according to tine above plan. A de
cree issued on The 22d declares The city Of Guada-
laara 10 be no longer in state OF siege.
We are too crowded to enter any further into
the subject OF this revolulien today. Numerous
considerations will suggest themselves AT once
to the reader as TO lis effect upon The war with
US. The paper before US contains no other news.
