IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

The brig P. Soule, Capt. Delvaille, arriv-
ed yesterday morning from Havana, whence
she sailed on the Sth inst. Her advices are
important.
The royal mail steamer Dee. Capt. Box
er, arrived at Havana on the 9th inst. from
Vera Cruz, with dates TO the Isl inst. She
brought out twenty-seyen passengers and
$4,000 in specie.
The Dee brought the long-expected news
of pr0nmciamento by Vera Cruz in be-
half of Santa Anna. The city and garrison
of the castle have both declared for the ex-
President. Immediately upon the recep-
ton of the news at Havana, Santa Anna
made his preparations for departure, and
was 10 sail the evening of the Sth inst. for
Vera Cruz in the steamer Montezuma, I'M
der English colors. So says Capt. Delvaille
the papers of Havana moi having word
on the subject. We annex the declaration
of the troops at Vera Cruz;
Act of the Gdrrison of Vera Cruz.
In the heroic city of Vera Cruz, the Off
GERS of the garrison whose names are here
unto subscribed, being assembled at the
headquarters of the 9Th regiment, for the
purpose Of taking into consideration the ca
| lamitous state at which the country has ar
rived, and to seek the remedy most fit to
Withdraw il from such a state and restore il
to life aud prosperity that
the principal cause of the existing perni-
cous discord is the want of fundamental
system of laws, 10 be dictated freely by the
nation which has manifested IFS detestation
of the monarchical system; and the want of
a Government which may be the offspring
of public opinion instead Of the contests OF
factions: Considering, further, that the ex
listing Government is illegal, and has dis
charged its functions in an oppressive man
ner, and issued an nii-popular call for a
Congress with view TO the establishment of
monarchy, and that while occupied in a
plot so deiestable il has neglected the de-
fence of the national territory, and abandon
ed upon the frontier that portion of the ar
my charged with lis defence; and consider
| ing. moreover, that .he Republic is on the
road to ruin, and that it is necessary, now
more than ever, 10 labor assiduousy 10 unite
and strengthen the bonds of union dissolved
! by our misforIunes, abjurng all our pri-
vate opinions; IL the officers aforesaid
agree 10 second The plan proclaimed by the
people and garrison of the city of Guadala-
lara on the 9th of May last, as far as the 5h
article inclusive, with the following addi-
lions:
1st, All persons imprisoned or banished
for political offences from The year 1921 TO
the present time are at liberty 10 return to
the republic, and are invited 10 cooperate
in the defence oil the present plan.
I'd. BY this plan the circumstances Of
war in which the country is placed with the
I the Odrf9ress ussrrIuleti tu determine upon
that question, and 10 Mexicans to obey its
resolutions.
Sd. All those who in this Department, or
oui OF il, have taken up arms againt the ex-
listing order OF things are invited to second
this plan, which has for its sole end the pub
lie well-beng. The same invitation is ex-
tended TO the political and military authori
ties of all the Departments.
18th. As his Excelency Gen. D. Antonio
Lopez de Santa Anna had the glory OF
founding the Republic, and, whatever may
have been his errors, was always the frmest
supporter Of the public liberties and the in
tegrily Of the national territory, the garrison
proclarms the said General as the chief Of
The great enterprise for which the plan is
entered into.
The plan of GuadaIalara above referred

fnands the castle of San Juan de Ulua, are
not attached TO the plan. We have not yet
seen any letters or papers from Vera Cruz
