Progress of the Revoluion-Q Quarrel between P
redes and Larauta-Expected Battle


volution of Jarauta and Paroles still progresses, |
yet if we can believe the Government journals, the
instruction will be quickly suppressed. They as
sert that the insurgents number at most but 800
men, and that they are in very perilous condition
surrounded on all sides by the Government forces,
and meeting with no sympathy from the people.
We doubt, however, whether this is the real state
of the case Yet, if it is true, what commentary
does it not present upon Mexican patriotism, that
rabble of only 800 men were able to seize and re-
tain the important city of Guanajuato, one OF the
largest of the Republic and having population OF
! $4,000.
The progress OF. this revolution bears some re-
sembIance to that by which the Spanish domina-
ton was overthrown Then, as now, the first i'm
portant advantage gained by the revoutonlsts was
the capture of this same city of Guanajuata, with
! its mint containing very large amount OF money
In the same manner Paroles has seized S6OO,OOO,
with which he will be able to satisfy his present
followers and work upon the cupidity Of his oppo-
nents. In the approaching contest, as In all the
other revolutions of Mexico, gold will be found
much more eficacous than swords. No doubt the
Mexicans would have conquered our troops, had
they been capable of being acted upon in the same
manner.
A letter from Guanaiuato, dated 23d June, which
we find in the SigIo of the goth ult, contains the
following
Public affairs now present an appearance very
unfayOrable TO the conspiratOrs, Paroles ana ia
rauta They are now completely isolated, ana can
count upon no assistance Their forces, which DO
not number more than 800 men, for the most part
undscplned will assuredIy be defeated II they are
attacked by the troops now in Sllao, five leagues
distanttrOm this place, under the command OF Srs;
Bustam ynte, YaneZ and MinOn, numbering, as
am informed more than 20O0 men, with ten pieces
of artillery The Government moreover relies upon
the forces under Gen. COraZar, and is assured OF
aid from BajiO which can raise 1000 men, so that
these forces united can in moment crush the dls-
turbers of public tranquility. / am not certain
whether Paroles will decide to sally forth, or await
to be attacked within the walls If ne should have
the imprudence to remain where he Is, he VIII De
Immediately overcome. This, however, would
happen in any event. as his cause is desperate, and
he can rely upon no moral force to achieve his Cd
ject; though by violence he can furnish himself
with all the money he wishes. .
The Eco del Concrete of the 2Sth says:
LATEsT.-At O'Clock this morning an express
arrived from Sao, bringing intelligence that on
the 25th Gen. Bustamente left that place, and only
waited to unite his forces with those OF Generals
LOmbardini and COrtazar, to commence operations
against Jarauta and Paroles. The rebels had only
about 800 undisciplined men. Paroles and Jarauta
confusion. The intrusive n Gov. DobadO had en-
deavOred to sedUce some of the inhabitants OF the
State; hut had not been able to succeed, as Gen.
COrtaZar had taken measures to avert this evil
The following extract from letter written by a
person belonging to the division of Gen. Busta-
mente, will give good idea of the stale OF public
affairs:
''The revoIutionists every day lose ground in
GuanauatO, where the hatred Of all classes towards
Ia GnT
of Pachon, and the various deserters who head the
rebels would disgrace and occasion the defeat OF
the cause of God himself The troops are deslrous
of marching Immediately to perform their duty
DObladO was yillanOus enough to call to his as
sistance the Indians of tie Sierra who are in favor
of a war of castles but his propositions were re,
relied, and we are saved from the gravest evil
which the revolutiOnists could bring upon the ma
ton.
Paredes-every day more spiteful-has quarrel
led with Jarauta, and it is probable the affair vii
end seriously. Every day officers JOIN us an com
missiOners have been sent by the people OF Qua
naiuato, asking Gen Bustamente TO enter the city
and promising him assistance
The same paper LEI Eco of the 29th, says:
Gen. Cortazar reports from Celaya, that on the
26th he marched TO join Gen. Busamente, witt
100 infantry and 3l2 cavalry Gen. LOmbardm
arrived at Celaya on the 25th, and continued hi
march one day in the rear of Gen. CortaZar Pa
iuato: it is not known for what purpose"
+ We suppose it is to carry off the specie he cap
tured in the mint
By an order of the Supreme Government, date
on the Goth, two officers of the army, Benites ant
Rico, were cashiered for having endeavOred to ex
J cite distfection in Gen. Lombardini's division.
The Monitor of the 9th, says that the insurgent
were taking measures to defend themselves
| E,rtiEaJ the an
{ other points They compelled the people to assis
. them in this work. Those to whom they CAV
$ arms deserted Raredes and Jarauta commando
equally, and from this the greatest disorders Ell
sued. Paroles had seized the revenues of the post
office and detained the diligence. 1t was said tina
n the city would be attacked on the 9th or 2Sth.
Another account states that Paroles was moineI
tarily expected to attack the forces of the Govern
i ment. The SigJo of the 26th, says that there wei
g many Spanish residents in Guadalupe, supposed
: be secretly acting in concert with Jarauta. Revt
. atonary clubs had been formed in that city.
$ A large amount of arms and munitions of wa
had been discovered in house in the city of Mex
!, co. which gave rise to much alarm but it appear
q thew were only purchased on speculation. On tn
24tb the coaducta arrived at the capital with 5000
j 600. The Government has sold the bonds in til
d hands of Messrs Manning and Macintosh for ii
sum of 100000.
q The State of Tamaulipas demands 100000 {
indemnify for the loss of its territory on the lie
r bank of the Rio Grande ceded to the United Sat
1t by the treaty of Guadalupe.
n The State of Mexico has arraigned before Il
Supreme Court of Justice, the consttutionality
o the law granting extraordinary powers to the Exec
n tive.
