Later from, Mexico.

By the way OF Tampico we have dates
from the city of Mexico TO the 9th Of
February. These are fourteen days later
than any papers from that city We have
seen.
On the night o: the 26sh February
selce, portion Of the National Guard made
its first essay at pronunciamento.
The Government had at its disposition
TO oppose this revolutionary attempt 800
troops in the citadel, the 9th Permsnent
Infantry, the squadron of Pajacca and those
bodies Of the National Guards not in favor
of the proaunciamento. Gen. Csnalizo,
as Commander -in-chief, was preparing to
attack the revolutionary forces with col.
un OF 1000 men.
The final outbreak was rot sudden af-
fair. AS far back as the 22d, the govern
ment had taken the alarm, and day after
day, the papers noted the ''premonitory
SYMPTOMS" of revolution, and the pre-.
cau,ionary measures Of the Adninistra-
ton.
Eel Republican, Of the 25,h announces
that Gen. AImonte had received orders to
march for Chihuahua, and Gems. Blsadre,
Layesa and Falcon had received orders to
march to other remote points. This is a
kind Of Punishment well understood in
Mexico. The Republican, calls it per-
secu,isr. Almonte and BasadIe are very
near friends Of Santa Anna, or have been,
but Mexican friendships are tickle.
The latest movement Of Santa Annals
force is indicated in number of Ell Re-
pubIicano Of the 25th February. II is
published as very important. 1t is let.
ter from San Luis Poiosi, dated Feb. 25:h,
which announces the receipt Of informa-
lion by a captain who had just arrived,
that ''the Yankees had abandoned Aqua
Nueva, which point had been fortified,
retreating from Saltillo. Our active Gen
sral Santa Anna has cut off their retreat
upon Monterey, by interposing between
Monterey and Sal;ilio Gems. Minon and
Torrejoa."
The following items are gathered from
Ell Republican, and other Mexican prints
up to the 9th Feb. They slow more
clearly the straits to which the government
was reducedto raise means for conducting
the war, and the circumstances leading to
the late revolution:
The success Of Canales in cutting of
trains Of supplies, is chronicled with in
finite delight. The Mexican army, it is
said, are in great need Of them. lii par.
ticularly mentioned that at Mier, Canales
seized 497 mules laden with provisions,
and four wagons. At the same time it il
SAID that he killed about ono hundred
men. Another account Of the same date
sets down the fruits Of the victory of Ca.
males at 900 mules captured, and says
nothing about men killed or taken.
The Mexicans counted upon taking Tay.
lor BY surprise with their much larger
forces.
A letter from Cedral. dated the llth
February, is to the following effect:
The enemy, it appears, is fortifying at
Aqua Nueva, and has secured the road of
the Rio Grands. Il may be his design to
receive " by the pass of Ell Carnero,
where we shall have to march two days
without water, and then fight US. This
is dreadful.
By the way Of Camargo we had a ru-
NOR on Saturday last, that Gen. TAYLOR
had fallen upon the force. Of Santa Anna

The New Orleans picaynne Of the 18th
,]t publishes letter from Mr.. Kendall,
il, regular correspondent, giving an ac-
count Of another revolution in Mexico,
from which we subjoin an extract detail.
mo the main particulars. All accounts
concur in stating that the Mexican army
is in most deplorable condition, for want
Of the necessaries Of life.
It is Of course impossible TO predict
wbat effect the new order Of things will
have on the hostile relations existing be-
tween the United States and that unhappy
country. Should the Church, which has
Gained the ascendancy, consider it neces-
s,rv to mount the war hobby, in order to
retain the power, this circumstance may
tend rather TO delay, than facilitate, the
conclusion Of q peace. It would appear
tina, the main difficulty which we have to
encounter in conquering Mexico, j, in the
instability and vascillation Of its govern
ment. In this respect our enemy may pc
compared TO the pugnacious drunkard,
whom it was impossible for His antagonist
to whip, because he could not stand up
long eoough to De knocked down.
TAMpIco March s, 1877.
I, is said that report reached here this
morning 10 the effect that a pronunciamen-
TO or revolution, headed by the clergy, had
occurred, that Gomez Frias, the Vice
President, had been deposed, and that an
editor Of one Of the papers had been placed
in his stead, and also, that the objects Of
the revolution had been carried out in ev-
cry particular. Considering the power of
tn. clergy, and their well known hostility
to Gomez Farias. there is some reason in
this. M
The Mexican army is reported to be
suffering to an incredible extent, not only
for clothing, but for the absolute necessa-
ries oil life. In the mean time, agents are
riding through the country, exacting con-
trbuiions in every town. At Al;snira,
only few days since, $500 were exacted
in this way.
by the looks and actions ofthe Mexican
population, l know that there can be no
truth in the report that Santa Anna has
beaten Gen. Taylor in a pitched battle; on
tie contrary their whole appearance would,
il Anything, indicate the reverse. Good
news shows too plainly in the faces ofthese
people to be mistaken.
p. S.-.March THE report Of the
revolution in Mexico is correct. The
National Guards joined the clergy. Sa!as
is President; Santa Anna al the head Of
the army.
