Correspondence of The Delta.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Nov. Is, lS47.
Yesterday, at noon, the Mexican courier arrived
here from Orizaba, bringing papers and letters from
Jaapa Queretaro, and other interior cities of note.
From them CLEAN the following few, but important
| items:
| In the city of Guadalaiara fresh revolution has
burst forth in favor of the elevation the presidency
of Gomez Farias, the avOwed antagonist of the
dotal party. His partlzans whilst attacking the
churches and endeavoring abstract therefrom the
sacred utensils of gold, were suddenly assaulted by
the mob, melted by the priests. sanguinary engage
ment ensued between the infuriaed parties-the one
endeavoring to pillage the sacred edces the other
protect them from the threatened dissertation In the
action it is said that Gen. Ampuda, of Monterey and
Sentmanat notorieiy, was slain together with many
of the followers Of Gomez Farias. The militant
church party, which so well knows how defend lis
| privileges, has triumphed as usual.
Gen. Paroles has openly pronounced at Talaciago,
in favor of the plan of lguaa. In his pronuncGento
and monarchal movement, he was seconded by the
garrison of Mazatan.
The spirit beathed forth In every paragraph OF these
papers, is the spirit of and unquenchable hatred
TO tie North Americans and their acts. The Next
cans though destitute of all resource, have amongst
them the apple of dscord, distracted by internal
vulslons and divided councils yet evnce desire nor
tendency whatever to peace or Cancellation.
The Mexican Congress is still at Queretaro-a quo
rum of rs members it is said, have been at last
vened This body is about TO the city of
Morelia (he old Valladolid) in order TO get rid of
the military. by whose presence in Queretaro it is en-
trely over-awed in the free discharge of Its func
tons.
Gen. Rea is with Santa Anna, who is now at ORR
zaba with a brigade at his command
Gen. Bnstamente has left San Luis Potosi Tor Que
retaro. This General has, according To the Mexican
papers, at his disposal force of about 5000 men.
Gen. FiIisola is also his march to the same city
from Zacatecas.
Gen. Valencia has gone to Guadalalara, In which
city Amonte is residing.
] In the vicinity of the capital Canalizo encoun
tered by small American force; In the brush that
ensued, the former was driven off with some loss.
Santa Anna has written another address to the Mex
leans from Tehuacan and although he has been strip
ped of every vestige of power by the Constitutional
Government, still he ranks himself President ad
/ interim and General-in-chief of the Army
Later letters direct from Querciaro announce that
congress was organised on the I'd of November Senior
d. Jose Maria Godoy, Deputy from Guanajuato, was
elected President of Congress, and Senior ID. Jose
Maria Hernandez, Deputy from Durango Vice Presi-
| dent.
The following extract of letter from an English
gentleman in Mexico to his friend at Vera Cruz gives
late news from Queretaro. 1t is dated at the capital
on the 9Th of November.
/ have hardly any news from Queretaro. The adj
mnistraton has been foolishly making several prema
ture efforts towards efecting a reform in the army
thus making many enemies for itself; and although
much confidence felt in the acting President and
Vice President of Congress, who are favoraby dispo-
sed towards peace it Is much feared that Complido,
of Guadaaxara viii be elected President al interim
of the Republic instead of Herrera or Pena Pena.
There was a report at Vera Cruz when the Alabama
sailed but what authority is known, that Gen.
Lane has had another brush with Gen. Rea not far
from Pueba, and has routed him entirely As the
story goes, party of Mexcans with forty wagon
loads of tobacco under small guard of their own
counrymen left Puebla on the 9th November for the
ca pital. Befpre reaching San Martin they were at
tackled by Rea and his men, several of the wagons
captured, and the rest of them made good their re-
treat to Puebla. Gen. Lane at mustered force
and set out after the guerrilleros AT Tepeyaca he
came up with them, engaged in dividing the spoils,
and the of the rascals complete We give
the story as reported at Vera Cauz The entire force
of Gen. Lane at Puebla not including the small CON-
mand of Col. Childs, is about three thousand men.
We believe that COL c. is to 90 up 10 the capital with
the great train.
