VIA HAVANA.

Ni9N NV avn
We have dates, ria Havana, from the
city Of Mexico, 10 the 30th ult., and
from Vera Cruz to June Cd. Letters
from the city of Mexico continue 20 speak
oi the disturbed state OF The country, aud
the revolutions in progress, aud IN con-
cepiion. Paredes is aboM to marsh
(lhere now seems to be no doubt of the
fact uith 1000 men, or more, to Me Seat
Of War, with the army oi reserve, aud
he is making extraordinary efforts 10
raise money and men, the last seeming
more abundant than The first. The req
olution in Mc South Of .Werico had not
been suppressed, and it does not appear
that Alvarez had fled South, as report
ed some time ago. A warm controver-
~ was going on in the papers as TO the
intended march Of Paredes. Many con-
tend that his abandonment Of the seat of
War, will be but the signal for further
revolutions, that will break out as soon
as he leaves.
The departure OF Paredes will be very
difficult to accomplish, since the events
on the frontier have produced a strong
impression. In case he should march,
he may command ten or sixteen thou
sand men, including the reserve, and
Aris'a's. II is reported also, (not prob
able) that charges will be made against
\ Arisia.
The Diario Of Havana, Of June 9th,
which we have received, furnishes us
some later news from Mexico, in ex-
tracts from Vera Cruz papers. to May
3lst.
The letters dated "Mexico, May 29th
and 30th," discuss at length the sub hiecl
of the war with the United States. They
state in substance as follows; That Gen.
Arista marched, in obedience to orders
received, to the left bank Of the Rio
Bravo, although he opposed the plan
from the beginning as inexpedient. His
force is said to have numbered from 8
To 1000, not more aud it is contended
that he gained the first day, ut the Resa-
ca de Guerrero, (dc la Palma y but lost
the battle of Palo Alto : although by no
want ofvalor, "uniortunately not having
the support Of n great part of the infant
y," and yet the "conquerors did not
pursue them"
The worst evils under which Mexico
now suffers is intestine war, and the at
teniion of the Government is distracted,
and the fears Of the writer seem very
serious.
Congress have held preparatory
session, members sufficient for ar
opening not having appeared. Busla-
mente will he President Of Congress,
and Paredes Of the Republic, the Con-
gress being entireIy in his favor. In case
Paredes marches to the frontier, Bravo
will probably be chosen Vice President.
lie is now in command Of the troops at
Vera Cruz.
1t is thought that Congress will invest
the President with the dictatorial power,
and then suspend their session. The
chiefs of the Southern insurrection are
spoken of as "men not Of our race" "and
ms exposed to signal punishment if they
do not succeed.
Payments have been wholly suspend
ed, aud there IL complete paralysis Of
business in all Mexico. The govern
ment have called junia, to find means
which will be very difficult, if not i'm
possible. The condition of many of the
departments is represented as deplorable. e..
An express from Vera Cruz had reach
ed Mexico, which was said by some to
have brought to Mexico the threat Of
bombardmeni, aud by others the news of
the capture Of two vessels by the Amer
leans.
The latest accounts from the delibera.
tons of the Junta above mentioned were,
that it was proposed To remove the Vera
Cruz stores to Jalapa, and TO reduce or
amend the duties on these goods.
A part Of the ministry have resigned
certainly the ministers Of war and
marine. Gen. Moray Villamil is en-
pec,od to succeed the former, and Garay
the latter.
The Mexico Expectador, in rcmarking
on the state of affairs, expresses doubts
Of the expediency of the Presidents de-
parture.
Vera CRUz, May 3Oth.-Under this
date we have proclamation Of Paredes,
declaring the port Of Acapulco closed
against foreign and coastng trade
during the continuance Of disaflec ction
at the SOUTH to commence one month
from date for vessels proceeding from
ports Of the republic, four months for
those from other ports of America, and
six for those from Europe.
March OF GEN. PAREDEs-" T.ra
Cruz, May 3lst--We know positively
that the President, ad inierini, will set Off
for the frontier with the army of reserve;
and we hope that, in performing his sa-
cred engagement, Senor Paredes will
acquire victory, nnd the eternal honor
Of his country, IN the fields Of battle"

some additional information in relation TO the
stale of affairs upon The Pacific.
