IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

| COMMANDMENT OF VERA CRUZ-MEAlCAN
ARMY MARCHING TO THE FRONTIER
The schooner Harmonious Walker, Captain
Malcolm, arrived here yesterday in twelve days
from Havana, bringing regular files of Spanish
papers to the New York Sun. The English
Steamer Clyde arrived at Havana on the 9th
inst. from Tampico and Vera Cruz Our ad-
vices are as follows: From the City of Mexico
to the 9th of June; Vera Cruz 22d June, and
Tampico I'd July. The II. w. brings an over
land mail from the Pacific, under seal for the
| United States Government, but the nature of
the important intelligence it is said to contain,
has not TRANSFERRED We translate the follow
ing from our files of Spanish papers.
The revolution in favor of Santa Anna has
extended to all the cities from Acapulco to Ma
zatlan, embracing the departments on the Pa
citic, which are now in arms against Paredes,
with the exception of Oajaca and La Puebla,
two southern departments which remaine neu-
trail, yet, in heart, they are doubtless with Yu-
catan, their neighbor Formal declarations of
independence have been received in Mexico
from both the CALIFORNIA;.
The revolutonists of Jalisco having been at
tackled at Colena by the Paroles army, retired
TO Guadalaxara, large city, which they were
fortifying. A division of the forces was order
ed there by Paredes, which had been intended
for the defence of Monterey. The Usurper
desires to suppress all domestic Instructions
before he attacked Gen. Taylor. The Junta
or Congres&fixed the 9th day of July for the
close of its session. 1t had passed some impor-
tant acts. On the 10th June, it proceeded to
elect President and Vice-P President, ninety
three votes being given: So for Paroles, / for
Bravo, for Herrera, for Perez, for Rincon,
l for Arraya, and for Feriaz. Gen. Paroles
was declared President, and Gen. Bravo Vice
President. The former having obtained per-
mission to lead the army against the Americans,
received his commission on the 18th of June,
and the vanguard of the forces, under General
Arevalo, left Mexico on the 18th, en- route for
Monterey, and Paredes would follow as soon
as Bravo arrived from Vera Cruz. Gen. Bravo
set out for the capitol on the oath June, leaving
Gen. De Sela to command San Juan d'Ulloa
and the Department of Vera Cruz.
| The Cabinet Ministers rendered their resig-
nations to Paredes on hearing that he was 10
/ leave with the army. He refused TO receive
them. Meija is appointed Commander i'll Chief
of the Northern Division of the army. Ampu-
dia remains at San Luis Potosi. Arista is said
to be coming to Mexico-at a low pace, we
suppose; for we find proclamation from him,
dated at Lnares, 4th June, calling on the army
to rally for the salvation of the Republic. In
ed in the newspapers relative to the American
forces, whose march upon New Leon and Mon
terey is said to have commenced without oppo-
stion, and the Vera Cruz papers have it that
Gen. Taylor is within days Journey of Tam
pico. Vera Cruz itself has been almost eVacu-
ated, the merchants retiring to Jaapa and ORR
zaba, with their property. An attack on the
Castle is said to have been planned by Com.
Conner, to commence on the 10th July, with
the following vessels:-FEigate Cumberland, so
guns; do Rartan, so do; do Potomac, so do;
Corvette John Adams, 20 do; brig Somers, 10
do; steamer Mississippi, s do; do Princeton, I
do.
These were at Vera Cruz, when the British
steamer Clyde left there, and Capt. Simmons Of
that vessel reports seeing six other U: S. vessels
of war off the harbor as he came out. The
British squadron there consisted of the steamer
Vesuvius, ship of so guns, another steamer
and brig. The Vesuvius, it is said, was going
to Tampico to take on board specie, which the
U. S. Brig st. Mary's, blockading there, had
refused to permit the British Mail Steamers to
receive, The st. Mary's opened her fire on
Tampico on the 18th June, which was answered
by two gun boats, and after an action of three
hours the former retired.
Alarado, place south of Vera Cruz is block
AIDED by U. S. Brig which had captured ira
ding boat and some men. A few gun boats
from Alvarado chased boat from the brig, but
without coming near enough for fight. A
Spanish brig which attempted to run the block
ade of Vera Cruz, was fired into and seized by
the U. S. steamer Princeton. No lives lost
The brig was released. 1t is amusing to read
the Iumors in Mexican papers, relative TO our
army One has it that they are already at Alta
Mira, near Tampco; and another says there is
nothing to oppose their march upon Monterey
and New Leon; another reports Gen. Taylor's
departure from Matamoras on the 10th of June
for Reynoso and Satillo, at the head of five
thousand men, four pieces of artillery and thir-
ty wagons.
So great is the alarm at Vera Cruz, that the
: soldiers are on duty night and day. The pro-
iect of the new Republic Of the Rio Grande is
spoken of. The MexicaHs say it is another an
, nexation scheme of the Yankees, who are sedu-
cling the people Of Tamaulipas, New Leon
Chihuahua, sc. SC. into the measure by means
of newspapers published in bad Spanish at
Matamoras. The Indians have raVaged the
/ department of Durango, committing terrible de-
predations and chasing the government troops.
, Martial law has been proclaimed at Vera Cruz,
, Tampco and Alvarado.
The Junto or Congress received the report OF
a committee relative to the war, which suggests
that Congress ought to adopt measures for the
defence of the country. 1t appears, however,
that the report on the measures for prosecuting
the war was referred back to them. Tampco
has declared for Santa Anna, as also Guadalax-
: ara, Seleya, Lagos, Guanaxuato, and the Cali
fornias, in addition to other cities and depart
ments already reported. Only very, small
part of central Mexico adheres to the admins
} tration of Paroles, and that would no doubt re-
volt as soon as he got under way with the ar
my.
THE END OF Doc DAYS. Three hundred
