IMpoRTANT FROM MExICo-

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
Revolution of Jarattta and Parcdes-Captmre
| of Guanajuato-Plan of the hlsurgeHts-Ad-
dress of Herrera.
The steamship Portland, Capt. Place, arrived
here on Saturday, from Vera Cruz, having left
| that place on the 26th. BY her we have re-
ceived our files from the city of Mexico to the
Goth. and from Vera Cruz to the 26th. The
news is of considerable importance, confirming
what we have always believed, and frequently
asserted through the columns of this paper
that no Mexican administration could survive,
which should dare to make peace with the u.
States The revolution, which at first appear
ed contemplate, has now, by the adhesion
| of Paroles, assumed a more serious char
acter The tpronunciamento" of the insur-
gents openly advocate a continuation of the
war and violation of the treaty which has
| just been concluded with the United States.-
Who will not now admit that Mexican and
Punic faith are synonymous terms? Who can
say that the struggle between the modern shall
not have the same result as that between the
ancient Republics.
The Siglo says that Paredes left Aguascali-
entes on the 18th, with 100 men, and Joined
Jarauta and Negrete at Lagos, whence they
marched Oh Leon. The large city of Guiana
juato, the centre of one of the richest mining
districts of Mexico, made no resistance, and
was occupied by the insurgents without any
difficulty, not more than two hundred Gov
eminent troops being in the place.
On the 10th, the divisions of Minon and
Bustamente were within one DAYS march of
Guanajuato, and Gen. Yanez was soon to join
them. One of the San Patricio companies
was at Sila, and was soon TO join General
,l@,-I ,1rs- h
the assistance of Bustamente and Minon.
An express which arrived at Mexico on the
18th, says the Siglo, brings news that the con-
ducta which left Queretaro on the 18th, arrived
at San Juan del Rio without accident. On the
same day, atSlla, 400 men, under General Bus
tamente, united with an equal number under
General Minon. On the 22d, 600 men, Of va
nez's command; were 10 arrive. General Cor
tazar informed tie Supreme Governor that he
had 500 men, ready to cooperate with Busta-
mente; and Lombardinis command would
soon be increased by 400. The Government o.
Guanajuatoi has been removed to Celaya. We
give below translation of the precious docu-
ment called the "Plan of Paredes, and also the
Address of Herrera:
THE PRONUNCIAMIENTO.

More than half of the Republic has been sold to
the invader for contemplate sum, while the
rest of territory will be occupied by the same
North American soldiers, as guard to the

crime ever perpetrated These events recall
: to the memory of Count Julian. who betrayedhis
country TO crafty personal resentment; yet
even this hOrrid act does not compare with
Pena's. The former villain, blinded with

Is il possible, Mexicans, that you viii tran,
, gully and meekly suffer this affront? Will yot
coolly behold your brethren in California, New
Mexico and Chihuahua sold 10 the foe? These
