By the arrival of the steamship Yacht, Capt. j. S.
Thompson, we have Brownsville papers 10 the 9th
inst, which contain the startling intelligence of sue
cessul revolution in that portion Of Mexico bordering

Pronuncianeatos on the Rio Grande.
We copy from the Bien Pubiico of Matamoras the
following plan and pronuBcsmento, signed by Don
Ignacio Canaez and other citizens OF Guerrero, and
forwarded by them to the commanding general of the
Mexican forces at Malamoras. The movement seems
to extend throughout the State of TaRauipas and it
is said will be general in all the Northern States OF
Mexico.
The Patriot forces are commanded by Col Don Jo-
Maria CaNaja, and already number nearly thou
sand men. His plan and pronuncianeno are ex-
lensively circulated throughout the Republic adopt
