LATE FROM MEXICO.


We have accounts from the city Of Mex
leo Of the 9Th and from Vera Cruz Of the
18th ultimo, which entirely dlssipate what
ever doubts NAV have existed Of the entire
success, without bloodshed, Of the late re-.
volutlonary movement in the Mexican Re.
public, headed by Gen. Paroles.
II appears that, in the latter part Of De
ccmber, before the revolutionary forces
reached the city Of Mexico, a portion Of
its garrison pronounced in favor Of Gen.
Paroles. This induced an early arrange
ment between the antagonist parties Gen.
Valencia representing the former Govern.
mcnt) for the submission Of the capital,
which vas triumphantly entered by Pare.
des and bis troops, withou, any disorder or
the least resistance, on the 81 Of January.

Of all the Generals and commanding off
