LATE FROM MEXICO.

We have accounts from the city of Mexico oil
the 9th and from Vera Cruz of the 18th ultimo
which entirely disspate whatever doubts may have
existed OF the entire success, without boodshed oil
the late revolutionary movement in the Mexican
Republic, headed by Gen. Paroles.
II appears that, in the latter part Of December,
before the revolutionary forces reached the city OF
Mexico portion OF its garrison pronounced in ia
vor of Gen. Paroles. This induced an early ar
rangement between the antagonist parties (Gen.
VALENCIA representing the former Government for
the submission Of the capital, which was triumph
anty entered by Paroles and his troops, without
any disorder or the least resistance, on the ID OF
January.
On the same day meeting took place of all the
Generals and commanding officers, at which Gen.
Paroles. after avowing the pronuncamento at San
Luis, declared to the Junta his readiness to submit TO
their prudent resolutions, and the entire liberty which
each enjoyed to pronounce his opinions. There
upon additions and explanations were made to the
solemn act of San Luis Potosi, the substance of
which we find stated in the New Orleans Picayune
as follows:

The Assembly Of Notables, provided for by the
second of the above articles, on the Sd January
Gen. ToRNEL was chosen President, and Gen. Al
MONTE was one Of the Secretaries. Gen. Paroles
was then unanimously chosen President of the Re-
public, ad interim. A committee of three was APP
pointed to draw up the oath to be administered to
the President. Two of them reported in favor of
oath nearly in the usual form but Gen. BusrA-
MENTE mot the former President of that name) was
in favor of adding thereto clause compelling the
President to swear "to repel the invasion of the
United States" After long discussion the AS
semby assened to the report of the majority, upon
the ground that the oath demanded by Gen. BUsTA-
MENTE would be tantamount to declaration of war,
and that it was beyond the competency of the As
semby to declare war.
On the 4th of January the Inauguration of the
new President took place, with much ceremony,
after which the President made an address appeal
ing to Heaven for the dsinterestedness OF his mo-
tives, and declaring that the country had
established her Liberties he should retire. The oath
which he took is in the following form:
You God to sustain the independence and inte

We can gather nothing definite from the papers
as to the present position Of Mr.. SLrpELL. There
are various rumors in regard TO him, all of which
want confirmation. The New Orleans Delta says
on the authority of a letter from well-informed
source, dated at Vera Cruz on the 18th ultimo and
also on the authority of friend who had convers-
ed with the only passenger who came in the vessel
that brought the above intelligence, that Mr.. SLrpELL
was at Puebla, awaiting the further instructions Of
this Government; and that neither the letter the
passenger says one word to sustain any Of the ru-
mors which were ahoat in New Orleans concerning
him-such as, that he had been ordered to leave the
