signed by Don Ignacio Canalez and other cttl-
zeus of Guerrero, and forwarded by them 10
the commanding genera CT the Mexican for

extend throughout the State OF Iainauipas,
and it is said will be genera. IN ali the North

The Patriot forces are commanded by Col.

pronunciau,entO are extensively circulated
throughout the Republic, adopting the twelve
articles of the Guerrero Patriots, as found be-
low. -,
The movement looks truly formidable; and
we believe is SO regarded by the authorities o1
the General Government owe tne WY.
This plan or prouuncianento is a kind OF de-
c~laration of independence, declaring the present
Government of Mexico TO be tyrannical, and to
which the people OF the Northern Sta:es viii
not submit. 1t a~brosates duties on Groceries,
and makes smuggling less he;nous than for
merry. 1t is headed by CAsALEs, The ee!ebra-
ted rebel Chief of lSl9, and by GONZALES, az
other gentleman Of the same stripe. Col. Ca
EAvAJAL is in command Of the revolutionary
forces, a daring but unprincipled men, who
has, for the last fifteen years, been prominent
in ma.te.s of this kind. Many Americans are
engaged in it.
The following which we take from the Plea
yune, gives i brief statement Of the situation of
affairs:
Rio GRANDE CRY, SEPT. 20, 1851.
Messrs. Edi!ors-l write you in haste to
say that the revolutionary movements on the
other side Of The liver has commenced IN ear
hest. The two PARTIES have been fighting
since the night of the 18th. The Goyernment
party have one piece OF a~ttillerf ). and Il, Z for. n
ed in the chuicii--the be-iegers have only small
arms. A courier, who was in the fight. Just ar

side, including four officers. have been killed,
and four Americans and six Mexioars OF the
revo;utionisss art wounded, but not nortally.
A small reinforcement, eft here last nigh, and
another this morning.
Amongst the knowing ones at this place it
is said presid- mt Arsta is at the head Of this
movement, and that he is now en- route from
Mexico to the Sierra Madre, his ohjec, being
to reyolulionize all the Northern Mexican
States.
The following has been furnished us by a
gentleman who came to this city in the Yacht !:
There was no excitement at Brownsville nor
Matalnoros on account OF the revolution when
the Yacht left. The citizens of .ie after place
were quietly, though anxiously awaiting the
arrival OF the Liberating Army, which was on
its march there. Gen. sAyalos was making a
pretence of resistance by barricading his house,
&c; bat he has only 200 Government troops
with him, and 1t is thought that he will evacuate
as soon as,t,e Patriots make their appearance.
He has crossed u large amount Of money and
treasure to Brownsville for safe keeping. He
maze a requisite npon the city Of Matalnoros
for 1000 men to oppose the Patriots. bat they
refused to raise him a single man. About 400
Americans have joined the Patriots under
Capts. Tremble and Lewis. Their march
vii. be a triumphant one through all the
Northern States. II IL said that Tampieo is
ready to pronounce.
Rabago, collector of customs at Ma:aEioros,
escaped from that place aud came over passen-
ger on the Yacht. He alleges that his life was
threatened.
