/ We received, yesterday, copy OF Ell
Locomotor, of Vera Cruz, Of the 9th inst.
which is four days later than any advices
received by the Falmouth. The news is
important.
| A revolution had broken out in The deu
partment of Jalisco it commenced on the
morning of the 20lh May, in the city Of
Guadaluxra. The battalion of Logos,
followed by other bodies oil military and
by The enthusiastic populace, attacked the
Palace of the Governor.
The assault of the insurgents was so
prompt, that the guard had only time 10
make one discharge, by which one man
was killed and one wounded.
Some ofthe defenders recognized friends
among The assai!ants, and refused to fire.
The dlsalfecllon then became general, ard
some OF The leaders of The government
troops were arrested, 10 save Them from
the fury Of the insurgents. Some Skin
mishing ensued and preparations were
making for general engagement, when
General Duque, who had taken command
OF the government troops, proposed par
ley. This was agreed TO, and The result,
OF the elaboration was, that the troops
under General Duque should be allowed
TO retire with the hoEors of war, by
route designed by them, directly TO The
city of Mexico. Provisions were given
them, and they were allowed ill The Esd,
TO prepare for their departure.
Don Jose Maria Tanez was at the head
OF the instruction. A formal dec laration
was drawn up by the insurgents pro-
claiming Santa Anna their chief, and de-
elariug that new Congress should be
summoned 10 be elected by the people,
according TO the electoral laws OF 1894 to
form new constitution in which the mon.
archial principle is to be excluded. 1t
also provides that the Congress should
meet four months after the ibera,ing ar
my shall gain possession Of the capitol of
Mexico.
Don Juan Campido is recognized as
Provisional Governor Of he Department,
and his oath includes the repuIsiug of the
Infamous usurpa.ion of the Americans.
LATER-The New Orleans Bulletin
has dates from Vera Cruz to The l6 h uI,.
No accounts had been received of The de-
parure of Paroles 10 take command ofthe
army. Indeed it was doubtful whether
any concentrated effort would be made by
the Government 10 repel invasion or SUPP
press instruction. The party Of Santa
Anna continued TO muster strong. Vera
Cruz exhibits signs OF discontel,men,.
The blockade was maintained by the
RarlIan and the Princeton. The Somers
and Cumberland were expected on the
ooh.

Mexico-Ihe former to explain saifac,o-
rily The causes OF the misfonunes which

The representations made BY these two
chieftains, Judging from casual express
