Tie RIO Bra,'O commences long article, IN which
that journal discusses the cause OF the conmotion
which has sprung up among Us Mexican nelghDors

The CommotiOns in Mexico.
IL viii be seen in columns to-day, that the
states of Mexico, bordering on our frontier are
cccply aeltated by popular commissions. the Cit
zens of Guerrero on the 3d OF September, and those
IN the vicinity ol tamargO, on the l6th, issued pro-
| nunciamentos, or declarations which our readers
| can examine for themselves. In substance both dc
cardtons agree upon the subjects Of complaint. and
the method of redIesslng the evils set forth. From
the general similarity Of tone and expression, We
| presume the parties acted to certain extent, al
| least, IN concert. There nave been symptoms, Tor
some months past, ~ all parts OF Mexico oi these
| movements. There IS scarcely State OF that Re

exhibited OF dissatisfaction with the Federal Gov
