The bark Pario Capt. KINNEY. arrived
yesterday from Vera Cruz, where she left
on the 18th inst. We have received ~.
correspondence and files of papers 10 n.
18th from Vera Cruz, and the S,h from the
Capital.
The accounts Of the entire success, AZ
the revolutionary movement under PA.r.
DIES, are confirmed. That officer has -.
tablished himself in the capital and ha.
been elevated to the Presidency, Cad inis-
rim.)
He entered the city on the ID instant.
and meeting Of the principal officers was
held, which provided, among other mat
tiers for temporary government, that
Jnnta Of "notables," representing each
Department, should assemble and elect a
person to exercise the executive functions.
The Junta accordingly assembled on the
Sd, and unanimously elected PAREprs.-
Much discussion was had "a to the form
Of the oath that should be administered 10
the President, some of the Junta desiring
that in addition to the usual obligations,
he should swear TO 'repel the usurpations
of the United States" This proposition
did not prevail; an oath, varying but little
from the customary form, was decided on.
The Inauguration took place with much
ceremony on the 4th, after which II
Deuas was celebrated in the Ca,hedrsl.-
The President made ala address, Appealing
to He,vcn for the disinterestedness Of his
motives, and declaring that as soon as the
country had established her liberties, he
should retire.
The present Ministry is composed Of:
D. Juan NJ Almonte, Minister Of War;
ID. Castillo Y. Lauzar, Foreign Affsirs.
D. Luis Parres, Treasury; Becerra Bish-
op Of Chiapas) Of Justice.
General Valencia formerly Governor Of
ueAico, has been made Comptroller of,he
Mint.
Generals Tornel, Valencia, and Pare
des held Council at Guadalupe, village
a few miles from Mexico, some days
since. to make arrangements to consolidate
the Government. II will be Remembered
that Tornel was formerly Minister Of War
and Marine under Santa ANNA.
The city ofMexico is perfectly tranquil,
and all precautionary measures against
counter-revolution have been discontin-
ued. the Sglio XIX, . paper which lat
terly was warm partizan Of the HEaRE-
RIA policy, and has been ably conducted, y
stopped, the proprietor having replaced !
by a paper bearing the title ".hsmcr'n'
Historico," Of which we have received the
first eight numbers.
We learn verbally that Mr.. SLrDrLI
had demanded ofthe new Government h's
passports, and received in reply that, y
he had never been recognized BY the Gov
eminent ard was unknown to them, no
passports were necessary, and was at l'o-
erty TO 20 where he pleased. He then
demanded an escort to Vera Cruz, which
was refused; whereupon he despatched
messenger 10 the brig Son'crs, and num-
Der Of The officers Of that vessel had deter
mined to proceed to Jalapa for the purpose
Of escorting him to the coast. The So"'ers
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 9Th. II will
be recollectcd that she sailed from Pensa-
cola about twenty days since, with sealed
orders. We place confidence in the ~
ports with regard to Mr.. SLrDELI., except
perhaps the statement that the officers -
the Someys had gone to his assi-tance; and
If he had in fact been refused safe escsH
BY the Mexican Government, nothing can
be more reasonable or probable than that
our Naval officers within reach Of his calt
should resolve not to leave him to the per-
lis Of the journey alone. Letters Of the
18th, however, only make mention Of ne
fact that Mr.. SLlDELL had demanded hie'
passports, shaving failed in the object o
his mission" ai
The United States brig SOrpas, Con-
mander GERKy, was at Sacri6cios on ne
18th, as also the British brig Pessaan, ING
French brig Grifan, and the Spanish prs
Patricia.
