NINE DAYS LATER FROM THE CITY
OF MEXICO.

Punctual to her day, The royal mail steam
packet Great Western, Capt. Chapman, arrlv-
ed at Ship Island at IL, A. NJ. Wednesday last
By this arrival we have letters and papers
from our cspondents-onr dates from the
city of Mexico being to the 18th inst. nine days
later than our last accounts. The news is III.
teresting and will be found below.
1t is said that Gen. Twiggs expresses great
anxiety to visit the United States, he having
been FIVE years absent from his family.
The Free American of the l7th inst. announ-
ces the death of Lieut.. Col. Allen, OF the Cd In.
fantry. He had but recently arrived in Vera
Cruz, on his way to join his regiment in the IN
terror. He was attacked by the bilious fever,
and died at 8 o'clock, P. NJ. on the 18th.
Santa Anna has applied TO Gen. Twiggs
through Col. Hughes, for permission to pass
through Vera Cruz and out of the country. A
special express from Jalapa, reached Vera Cruz
the evening ofthc 18th inst. with the appca-
ton, and as the general at once granted the per-
mission asked, it was supposed the e1Presdent
would arrive there in day or two.
A report is current in the city that the steam
er was detained at Vera Cruz from the l7th to
the 18th, to receive Santa Anna on board, and
that he is in truth a passenger on her. We
mention the rumour, but without putting conf
dence in it. At all events, it was not known
to the passengers with whom VIC have convcrs-
ed.
A large train was on its way down from the
city ofMexico when the Great Western left.
1t was at Jalapa the evening Of the 18th inst,
but private express was sent through the same
night to Vera Cruz by which we received our
corrocoopdonca uiven hnIow
We have seen private letter from the city
of Mexico dated the 18th inst. The Mexican
and English couriers arrived there on the 18th
from Vera Cruz. There was nothing talked
of at the capital but peace. 1t is said that for
eign merchants are more dispeased at it than
any other class dreading as they do the insecure
ty which will follow the reinstatement of Mex-
can rule.
Ell lngenio, published at Morelia under date
ofthe 9th instant, says: "a revolution has just
broken out in Guadaajar agains, the Govern.
ment of the Union, against peace, and in favor
of Gen. Santa Anna" This we find in the
Star, the latest paper from the city Of Mexico.
A revolution in the powerful State of Jalsco
has long been appreh.nded. Should this news
prove we'll founded, it BODIES no good to the
cause of peace. but we hope Santa Anna may
be out ofhe country before the revolution reach.
es crisis. In the North American olthe 18th
we find the following paragraph, which favors
the idea that Santa Anna will leave the coun-
try:
The Monitor states that there is a rumor afloat
that Santa Anna and Paredes had n adc mp their
minds 10 issue a Joint picnunciamcnto in San
Luis. but this, he adds, cannot be so, as two
cats could not live in the same bag, and that
person worthy of credit has assured him that he
has seen letter from Santa Anna to a friend
desiring him to place money for him in the is
land of Jamaica.
The Star OF the 9th says Senior Quijany, one
of the armistice commissioners, had gone to
Cucrnavaca, with instructions from the govern
ment 10 make use ofevery means in his power
TO suppress the Indian rebellion in that vicinity,

paper be accurativcly informed. Gen. Carrcra
has been deposed from the Presidential chair,
and the Vice President is acting in his place,
and endeavoring TO put down the insured

The length OF the letters which we append
makes it impossible for US to-day to give such
extracts from the files Of papers which we have
received as we had desired. At the earliest op.
portunity we will spread them before our rea.
ders.
MEXICO, March 9, 1913.
This is now The dullest place imaginable, and
will continue so during the armistice. Seve-
raj officers, anticipating no farther active ser.
vice, have resigned and returned home with the
train which left here on the 9Th inst. in charge
of Col. Black, OF the Pennsylvania Volunteers;
and others have returned on leave which will
not terminate until either peace is madc or tho
armistice ended. ]
