The United States steamer Rough and Ready ar
rived at the landing this morning. She has been

hundred tons, preventing her from making much
Roadway.

she could not make more than two, il overloaded,
The Rough and Ready brought up some Tennessee
up on her. She had rather a rough time crossing
the gulf, but Capt Baldwin tells me that she be-
haved very well. She is rough enough in her ap-
peaance, but will be ready to go down the river in
a few hours. Mr.. Kendall starts for Seralvo to-
day with small party. Judging from the opin
ions of certain Mexican acquaintance here, and the
Information received from them, cannot help be
levng that our troops will be obliged to fight no,
far from Monterey, the other side, and that their
entrance into that city will be disputed II.

There are a number Of proclamations in town da-
ted the 5th inst, from the city of Mexico, declaring
the present government at an end, and re-esablish-
the constitution Of "a have not been able TO get
one of these documents, but have conversed with
several persons who heard it read. The pronuncl-
ainento in the city of Mexico is said to have been
one of the most unanimous acts on record, and was
made before Paroles 25 leagues from the place

Santa Ana the person best fitted to organize the
one 1t particularly recommends him as the leader
of the army, as they say the war will, under his
guidance, he prosecuted more enegeticaly and with
greater ability. This last am inclined to place but
little reliance in, for, as much as they might desire
an honorable termination to the war, they are not
anxious to gain it by the chances of another hard
fought field. As soon the news Of the pronunci
amento reached Tampco, the commandment of that
post Immediately proclaimed for Santa Ana, and all
the soldiers with large number OF citizens, and ci-
vii officers followed him. Gomez Feras is said to
have been the master spirit in bringing the change
about.
The Congress Of Mexico, sometime before this
movement, had become more pacific in their tone to-
wards the united States, and although it may all b.
possible that IN their action against Paroles they
did speak of Santa Ana as being more capable OF
carry ing on the war, may have been for effect,
it is well known there ia class of men through
out Mexico, who could never have been induced to

ther that object.
Notwithstanding the contradiction ofthe "Union"
about the arrival of an agent of the Mexicans al
Washington, it is believed here to be true. letter
of late date from Mexico received here, inrimaes
that gentleman who was formerly high in office
in Mexico, had gone to the United States, and the
writer says he is sure his visit has something TO do
with our government. The opinion gains ground
daily that there will be no more fighting.
Ii is impossible to ascertain the number Of killed
by the disaster to the Enterprise. A boat came
down last night, and reports having passed six or
seven dead bodies in the river. There were mum
Der Of volunteers cooking near the boilers at the
time of the explosion.
