Our latest news Grnm the capital is up
10 the 29lh uIl.. and from Vera Cruz to
the 9th inst. The revolution of Jarauta
and Paroles still progresses, yet rT we can
believe the Government journals, the in.
surrretion will be quickly suppressed.
They assert that the msurgent. number at
most but 500 men, and that they are IN a
very perilons surrounded ON
all sides by the Government forces, and
meeting with no sympathy from the pep
pie. We doubt. however, whether this
is The real state of the case.
The progress of this revolution bears
some resemblance TO that by which the
Spanish dominion was oyer,hrown. Then,
as now. the sii.mportanl advantage gain.
ed by the revolniionlsts was the capture
of this same riiy OF Guanajnata, with it,
mint containing n very large amount ri
money. In the same manner Paroles has
seized s800,00a. with which he will be
able 10 satisfy his present followers and
work upon the cupitliiy If his opponents.
The Monitor Of the 9th. says that the
insurgents were taking measures TO dc.
fend themselves in Guanajuaio. having
fortified the Alhnndiga. and other points.
They compelled the people to assist them
IN this work. Paroles had seized the
revenues Of the post office and detained
the diligence. II was said that the city
would be attacked on the 9th or 2slh.
Another account states that Paroles
was momcntarIly expected TO attack the
forces ol the Government. The Sligo oil

WORK FOR CONGRESS.

According to Washington litter in the New
York Journal Of Commerce, The Presidents re-
cent Message has carved out much additional
work for Congress. The intelligent writer says:
Should Congress 60 on and discharge
their proper duties. they will have TO ma.
ture and pass bills for the establishment
of FIVE territorial governmenis-to wit !:
Nebraska. Minnesota, Oregon, Calilor.
MIA and New Mexico. Nexi, they must
provide for the defence Of these terrific.
ries-which will be no small matter,
though The President is disposed To make
light Of il. Oregon is now in The posses.

Of Oregon during The last year. has brought
ou war there-o that will cost more
Than the Florida war before we get through
with it--one that will give Oregon inhab-
itanis and make il state, before we get
through with it.
Besides those nice wars with Indians,

Next we have another great question.
