the 14th-the latest paper from the ci-
ty Of Mexico. A revolution in the pow
erlul State OF Jalisco has long been ap.
pretended. That department has long
been hot bed of revolutions. Should
this news prove we'll founded, it bodies
no good to the cause Of peace, but we
hope Santa Anna may be we'll cut ofthe
country before the revolution reaches a
crisis. In tie North American Of the
18th we fad the following paragraph,
which favors the idea lha: Santa Anna
will leave the country:
Santa Anna and Paredes. Tile

float that Santa Anna and Paredes had
made up their minds 10 issue Il joint
pronunciamento in San Luis, but this,
he adds, cannot be so. as too Cats could

from Santa anna to fiicnd desiring
him to place money 70: him in the island
Of Jamaica
The Fofihamercan Of 10th inst. has
accounts of revolution in Guatemala.
If that paper be accurately informed,
Gen. Carrera has been dspos-d from the
presidential chair, and the Vice Prcs.

ing 10 put down the insurreclion.

scene in tho country. The next place

O'Clock that nigh they again started,
and after travelling fourteen consecutive
hours reached Tulancingo. Our rca-
ders were appriscd by letter from the
command, published in the S'al. that
Paredes had escaped from his house in
thai town, by back way, few moments
before i, was surrounded. The wife Of
Gen. Paredes was very hosplabIc to the
General and his staff.
1t was early in the morning when
they reached Tulancingo, and they re-
manned all day. Started rne nrxl morn
ing for the hacienda of Guadalupe, which
they reached in the afternoon, and from
whence they sailed fourth at ~ o'clock,
NJ, for Sequaltaplan, and reached ii at
sunrise. Before arriving, however,
they were informed that 5000 Lancors
were there, By turn, the Texans were
in the advance, preceded by Lane and
Hays, and when they go, Opposite the
first house in the edge Of the town, a
voiey Of escope,a balls came whisllng
from it. The doors were soon opened
and the assailanls killed. The next
house or cuIalcl, ii was the same thing,
and Maj. Polk coming up, the town was
regularly assaied; the enemy firing from
every house. In some instances we arc
told it came 10 a hand-to- hand fight.
In a short time the enemy were driven
from their positions, and some Of them
collecting in body outside the town,
were pursued respectfully by Lane and
HAYS, and terribly cut up.
The loss in killed, on the side Of the
enemy, is sci down at 100 DIT the least.
We lost one man killed, and four woun.
ded. Fifty prisoners were brought in
the city yesterday, amongst whom were
Capt. Montana, and two Iieutenan,s
Col Montana, the father of the captain;
was killed; as was padre Matinee, the
second and bosom friend Of Jarauta
Jarauta, himself, it is believed, wa.
wounded, bu, he escaped, with five o.
six men.
Quiet was soon restored to the towl
after the fighting was over.
All the men in the command are high

and Dragons have proved thenselve
worthy to follow such leader.

Ills evident that The merchants Of
the interior are beginning to appreciate
the great advantages Of Charleston, no,
only for laying in their stocks ofgoods
but the facility j, affords for frequently
lepleuisl'ing them. Connected as it is
by railroads and steanborts with SO
large portion Of the South and Southwest
orders, to any extend can be promptly
filled and rapidly despatched 10 their
destination, avoiding the dangers, de.
lays and additional expense of a trip
TO the Northern cities. These advan-
tages are rapidly making themselves
felt, and as they become more widely
known, will greatly augment The num-
ber OF our customers
Our Railroad also partakes Of the
general activity, and is bringing down
large quantities of produce from the
interior of our own Stale, and the rich
valleys Of Georgia. and Tennessee,
carrying back in return hevy freighls
Of dry goods, groceries, hardware &c.

more liberal system of advertising in

by personal intercourse. And we would

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
SUspENsloN OF HDsTiLITlEs.

Since our last publication the steam.
ship Massachusetts and the ship Dan
vers, Capt Grafton, have arrived from
Vera Cruz with later and important in
teligence. The Danvers bnngs the
latest dates, her advices being TO lllc
18th inst. from Vera Cruz.
As we were led to anticipate by our
previous advices, the negotiations of the
Mexican Commissioners, with those ap.
pointed by Gen. Butler, have ternina-
ted in an armistice. Gen. Worth and
Gen. Smith represented Gen. Butler in
the negotiations. We hear "A good deal
Of dissatisfaction expressed with the
terms of the Convention entered into,
bu! have no time to discuss them here.
Our readers may recolecl that Gen.
Lane left The city of Mexico on the l7ii.
of February on some secret expedition,
with the same command which accom-
panied him against Tehuacan and O'i-
zaba. He retuned to Mexico on the Isl
instant, after having encountered and
dispersed the command of Father Ja-
raula. The American Star gives the
particulars Of the affair."
Gen. Lanes Erpedition.-General
Lanes command returned to the city
yesterday, having made successful ex
pedtion ag iiust the gueliIleras. In this
execution he has shown himself worthy
of fthe name we give him-Marion,
The day out the command passed by

miles, aud stopped at hacienda as if
with the view Of passing The night there;
but no sooner had dark set in than they
saddled up, mounted their horses, and
retraced their steps on the main road TO

as much haste as the nature OF the
country wonld permit. About daylight

His remains were escorted TO the
grave BY the lst Regiment Of Artillery
and great many officers of the army
among whom were Gen, Twiggs, the
Lieut. Governor, Capt. Winder, and
Dr.. Wright, surgeon Of the general hos

SantaSAnna has applied to General
Twiggs, through Col. Hughes, for per
mission to pass through Vera Cruz and
ont Of the country.--A special express
from Jalapa reached Vera Cruz the
evening of the 16:h inst. with the appli-
cation, and as the general atonce grant.
cd the permission asked, is was suppos-
ed the cx-president would arrive there
in a day or two.
A report is current in the city thai
the steamer was detained at Vera Cruz
from The I7lh 10 the 18th, 10 receive
Santa Anna on board. and that he is in
truth passenger on her, We mention
the rumor, but withoutrultng confidence
in IT. At all events, il was not known
to the passengers with whom we have
conversed.
A large train was on its way down
from the city Of Mexico when The Great
Western left 1t was at Jalapa the
evening of The 10Th insr.. but private
express was sent through The same night

correspondence given below. A list of

detailed upon the great court of inquiry,
have arrived in the city Of Mexico, and
that they were TO commence the proceed

We have seena private letter from the
city of Mexico the 18th inst. The
Monican and English courriers arrived
there on the 12th from Vera Cruz,
There was nothing talked ofat the cap

merchants are more Edispleased at it than

Queretaro.-The Monitor OF yester-
day commences an article with the fol-
lowing statement, viz:-"By the advices
which we have received from Qaeretaro
WE learn that three Deputies resident in
this capital, and who could not repair
10 the seat of government through want
of means, have brought The subject to
the knowledge of the Minister of the
Treasury, through person IN Querc,a-
70. The Minister, in consequences, has
ordered that the first proceeds from the
tobacco rent shaI! be paid TO the Depu-
ties mentioned 10 enable them to meet
their travelling expenses. II is also or
dered that this measure be published for
the benefi! ofall other Deputies similarly
situated"
The Monitor thinks the measure viii
remove most Of the obstacles which have
hitherto stood in the way of an early
meeting of Congress. We hope i, may
for we are getting disguised with the
course which the members elect Of the
Mexican Congress are pursuing at this
time. If they will not come together, is
there no way to make them do 50? We
want them TO assemble either TO approve
or reject the treaty. Why do they hang
back like boys, as it afraid to mrci a
question Of greater interest and impnr>
tance to Mexico than 10 the United

The N, O.,Delta, says: A circumstance
occurred at my plantation a few days
ago, which may be Of some importance
to the cotton planter, / had a large
quantity Of cotton seed to accumulate at
my gin, which had removed my liaus
ling it on my corn ground. When we
got in about the centre of the pile we
found it on fire, and had burnt the seed
TO perfect coal, some two yards square.
Had it mol been SO much smothe, ed by
the quantity Of the seed on top, | have
no doubt but il would have broke out
and consumed my gin, We often hear
of gin-houses being burnt, during the
cotton picking season, which is always
attributed to some incendiary. There
is no doubt now in my mind that most
of the gins that are burnt from unknown
Causes, proceed from spontaneous com>
buslion as above stated.
