declared against the government Of Paroles, and IN
favor Of Santa Ana, on the l2th ult. We have re-
ceiyed copies of the declaration (aeta) OF the garr-
son, and the address OF the military commandment,
Jusn Bautista Traconis, to the people The declar-
alton is substantially the same as that OF the garn'
son Of Vera Cruz, accusing the government OF haV-
| ing assembled Congress in a manner not author
lzed by the constitution, and Of plotting, IN eonnex'
ion with that Congress, for the establishment OF d
monarchy TO the great detriment Of the interests OF
the nation, and the neglect of the national defenees
The object of the revolution is likewise declared to
b. the Te-establishment Of the constitution Of 1924,
add agreeably TO the provisions Of that instrument,
the organization of the government on federal Prn-

brief and incites the people to aid in efeetng the

"A letter toa mercantile house in this city, dated
at Laguna, August 3, states that the United States
brig Somers had arrived at Laguna few days pre-
vious to its date TO take in supplies, and that her
commander had stated that it was intended to block
ade the port Of Tabasco if disposition was not
manifested soon to end the war.
We suboin from the Delta the Proclamation re-
ferred to-
PROCLAMATION or THE GARRISON OF TABAsCo.
In the city of San Juan Bautista of Tabasco, on
| the 18th day of August, 1886, assembled IN the
dwelling of the military commander, the chiefs and
officers Of the garrison, with the object Of adopting
some measure for the purpose Of saving the nation
| from the perilous crisis in which II il actually
| placed, and considering;
LAT. That since the constitution that was framed
in conformity with the free will and consent Of the
people has been destroyed, the others that were
made TO substitute IL have not been in unison with
the wishes necessities Of the majority OF the
nation.
2 That hence follow the constant governmental
fluctuations which have, TO so extreme degree, al
hlcted the country, causing Il to be almost constant
ly rent with internal divisions; state OF things
| which FASTENED our exterior mIsfortunes, and gave
pretext TO some claiming to be Mexlcans, but I'M
worthy Of the name to advocate the introduction Of
monarchy into the nation, and foreign prince for
our monarch.
3D. That in order to effect this unworthy object
they have had the audacity to deny to theP9OPle
their imprescripuble right Of eecIing ajCongress
representing their feelings, whilst CShgrets has
been called in violation of the constitution, atd I'M
der circumstances well calculated to bring disgrace
upon the nation.
4th That TO consent TO the meeting Of the afore-
said Congress would be TO participate in the destruc-
ton of our republican form Of government for, II
permitted 10 with the sanction OF the admins
tration at the capital of this republic, they will as
sumo 10 speak the voice Of the people, seek Euro
pean Intervention IN our affairs, and sustain the
! policy OF our enemies, and the enemies OF the re-
public.
5th That the establishment Oft monarchy in our
nation would not only cause the dissolution of our
army which the new monarch would not allow 10
exist, because only in the troops which he would
bring from his native land would he place conf
dence; but he would likewis exact an absolute sub
mission Of the Mexicans whom he would exclude
from all public Offices IN order to place his own
countrymen and courtiers in positions OF honor and
trust to overrule us.
9th That this would sweep away the benefits Of
independence for which we sacrificed our blood and
fortunes, that might govern ourselves, dictated
to only by our own wishes, and our views OF our
own interests.
| 7th. That il we do not hurry to act in a manner
more in conformity with the will Of the majority Of
the nation, weighty and serious evils must be the
consequence, we will be unable to force the observ-
ance of the Fundamental law, and to develop the
power and riches Of our country.
| We have therefore, determined to proclaim, and
do proclaim, the following plan for the real rcgener-
alton Of the republic:
ART. lst-The garrison Of San Juan Bautista, Of
Tabasco, will not recognise the convocatory pub.
! shed on the 9th January, 1876, by the so-caled
President ad interim and his ministers, considering
it an usurpation of power and abrldgement Of the
privileges Of the nation and decreed with the unde-
nable object Of making the nation appear as Invo-
king change from republican to monarchicaI gov
eminent, with foreign prince for the ruler OF the
nation.
ART 2d.-In place of the Congress assembled by
the aforesaid order of January last, another will
! be formed by members elected by the people, aC-
cording the electoral laws that served for this OBJ
iect in 1924 which will meet soon as Is formed,
in order to sustain the integrity of the republic,
adopting the form Of government which they may
consider best calculated to exclude the principle OF
monarchca government, which our nation abhors,
| and likewise TO settle everything relative 10 the
Texas affairs and the other frontier departments.
ART 3d-Four months after the occupation OF
the capital by the liberating forces, the new Con-
gress 10 which article second refers, must assemble,
| for which object it will be the duty of the general
n-chief publish the order in the aforesaid terms,
and take care BESIDES that the elections should be
carried en- with all possible liberty.
ART 4th.-It is guaranteed that the army will re-
main in existence, and its position recognised and
respected as the honorable military members of q
free country.
ART. 5h.-Any pe,ron whosoever that shall en-
deavor to prevent or retad the meeting OF the new
Congress, o attempt in any way or manner to OPP
pose II, or restrict the liberty OF lis meroefs, or
cause any of its SESSIONS to be dissolved or sus-
penued shall be declared traitor to the nation.
ART. 6th.-General Don Antonio Lopez e Santa
Ana is hereby proclaimed general-in-chlef of the
Iiberating army, and consequently he will take com
mnnd of the same as he makes his ap
pearance on the territory Of this republic; and II
order that it may be made known to all parties, VT
sign these presents.
1.-THE above is signed by twenty-seven officers o.
, the garrison of Tabasco.
