Very Important from Mexico-Another ne.
voaution-Yucatan Declared Independent.
We have received letter from our correspondent,
in Merida, the capital Of Yucatan, which is OF the
highest importance
According to the intelligence conveyed in his dis
patch, the province Of Yucatan has absolutely de.
cared its independence Of Mexico, and is now
separate republic.
will be recollected that we mentioned, few
days ago, the probability OF such event. and tina,
two assemblies, composed OF the most distinguished
othe Yucatecoos, had met in reference to this mat
ter, with the intention OF seeking assistance from
the United States.
Our intelligent correspondent gives few of the
reasons for this movement, on the part OF Yucatan
This freshly revolted province is one OF the best
In the whole Republic Of Mexico. Its inhabitants
energetic and enterprising, and if they are de-
temined to be independent the rest Of Mexico can
not re-take them.
Annexed is the letter.
MERIDA DE YucArAN, Jan. l, 1886.
Yucatan is no longer part Of the Mexican federation.
Yesterday the "Assembed Departmental" pronounced
against their existing form OF government and have
called the deputies in the Mexican Congress.
The Mexican eagle has been torn from their banner,
and replaced by the stars of ls43. They have gone
back to the old state of things they existed before the

The feeling against Mexico and the state of things in
Mexico, has been for long time silently running in the
waiting but for sufficient cause to put
self forth in bodily shape. Mexico, usual has shown
bad faith towards this section of the conedeacy Next

her ports Of entry all productions Of said department du

FRENCH AND FOREIGN LTTERATURE.-We refer
our readers to advertisement in this days paper
giving information on the subject of foreign ltera-
ture. 1t will be perceived that Mr.. F. g. Berteau,
No. 3l5 Broadway, one of our Oldest and most re-
spectacle French residents, being about to discon-
tnue the book business, oers to sell his large stock
of German and French standard works, at medium
reduction of thirty per cent from the prices named
in his catalogue
The progress which the literature of France, Italy
and Germany has made in this city and country has
been very great within few years. There are pub
llshed in New York, German, French and
Spanish journal, weekly and semi-weekly The
German journal, or SchneH Post, is conducted with
great deal Of talent, and is so much imbued with
the principles of democracy, as practised in this
country that it has been interdicted by >he govern
ments of Germany. The Spanish journal, whose
name we now forget, is less political journal, and
may be considered more in the light of an agent Of
the Spanish merchants in this country. The French
journal, Courier DIES Etats Unis, Is we'll known,
and is considered to be in the interest OF the French
government, and the advocate OF the present dynas-
ty in France, and also an exponent of the impracti-
cablity Of republican institutions. We understand,
however, that it is in contemplation among the
",
to start new French paper to be published daily,
and similar to some Of our daily penny papers, en-
bracng occasionally, feuinetons in French, German
and Italian. 1t is supposed that there is very ia
vorable opportunity, at present, for establishing a
daily French journal. The present French journal
is conducted much in opposition the French resi-
dents in this country and In hostility to the nstitu.
tons Of this land; and besides, it has become con-
verted into puffer general Of nostrums, SO that
great deal Of dislike and contempt is beginning to
be manifested towards it, Very probable.
ANOTHER THROAT CURVE understand that the
throat OF another unfortunate and devoted sheep
was cut yesterday, by those chivalrc men who are
endeavoring to urge upon the public the virtues of
the Brocchieri ,cater. We presume that Mr. Charles
King, Of the Courier f. Enquirer, and Mr.. Fuller,
of the Mirror, were present witnesses to one of
these murderous attempts, and testified to the sue
cess OF the extraordinary operation.
The whole OF this business Of cutting the throats
Of innocent sheep, reviving them again with this
Brocchieri water, and making them run about the
yard, puts us in mind of the tricks of the famous
magician, Herr Alexandra, or Francisco Orsini,
rho recently appeared in the theatres of this city,
We admire the sleight Of hand, we are pleased with
the dextery with which this system of throat cut
ting is performed; but we are yet unbelievers, and
we think the public are also still unbelievers, in the
virtues Of this famous water. We propose, how
ever, that another experiment be made and if it is
successful, it will satisfy all concerned, and produce
universal belief. If Mr.. Charles King, Mr.. Hiram
Fuller, and Chevalier Gaardet, will all submit to
have their threats QUITO the same operation that is
performed on the innocent sheep, and if the virtues
Of the Broccheiri water, will make them skip and
jump about like ballet dancers, after the carotid ar
terry is separated and healed up, we shall then give
in tothe Brocchier water, and become converts for
ever after.
Now, this proposition is made in perfect dor,
but without deposit Of $500. We don't want
them all to submit to the operation at once, but seri-
atm, one after the other, so that can test with
