GEN AL oRDE RS,

To be read 10 the Defenders of Mexican Li6erty
oeho under mig orders, SlDear to combat against IT,
rants:
All people on earth, both ancient and modern have
seen themselves compelled by the enormous weight
OF tile oppression OF unjust and cruel tyrans take
up arms ana reconquer with fire and blood, their
latedsacred rights reassumng that sovereignty which,
az gift OF the God OF the Universe, belongs to them.
The people are sovereign government was only in
stued to make them happy and carry out their will
lhe people, then, are the granor and government
mere agent, and the whole world knows that when an
agent, lar from carrying out the will of the grantor,
or procuring the well being of his interest, usurps
powers not granted TO him, and takes unto himself
his masters property and rights, thereby causing his
rum, no other is left but to that bad
servant, and in his place put more faithful one.
In this case the Repsbc of Mexico finds itself, and
more particularly the North and Northwest portions
oil said Republic. The unfortunate end OF the last
war lett them IN misery, and without its richest ter
rltorles and resources. The property nearly all
lost, without remuneration; forty millions OF dollars
would not pay QUE losses, without counting our lands
the rights TO, and the possession of which now
doubtful, and we shall have to spend thousands of
dollars to learn IT cur rights are recognized. The
wage murders our parents and brothers, violates our
wives and carries off our children capves; he desc
aes our fields and robs us of our property, and the
Government remains deaf to lamentations and
complaints, lis troops lar from occupying themselves
defending or consollng us, rob and murder our
trymen, under the frivolous pretext that they are
smuggling, although these troops, when before the
enemy fly coward like. Repeated complaints, repre-
sentatlons and protests have been addressed to the
Government OF (ren ArlSta, and Tar from hearing
he has attempted to humble and lntimidate us, as if
vile slaves.
On the other hand, the nation is on the verge of a
preoipce, owing to Its bad governors, who only look
out for themselves The public funds are not admin
sered with honesty, and the bastard Influence of
nopoliss powerful than the universal cIamor of
all'the MeXicans. 1t is this account that the
clous and anti.republlcan system esabshedi by the
ancient Spanish monarchy is sustained, and why the
existence OF the ma ton itself is exposed, squandering
ts immense resources, and Insulting the sovereign peo-
pie. Our children not educated, and they want to
discipline us in the school OF military desposm, as if
our fathers had not conquered indepen dence aud
domestic liberty And, W hat is till aggravating
to- day. Is that the people of the towns are diving Of
hunger, the necessaries OF life being prohibited
In short. the children OF the Northern towns being
Tired OF this OPPRESSION resolve TO swear. and do swear
to sustain the twelve following articles and such 9TH
ers, in accordance with these, may be adopted by
majority oithe towns secondlng this plan.
Here follows, substantially the twel articles pub
lished above in the Guerrero platiorm.l
These twelve articles my subordinaes swear to sus-
tain generally with all their might and oduess fight
ing CALAMITY aud with fidelity, in accordance with the
platform to-day proclaimed, and until we expeI the
enemy from our territory, in order that the frontier
States may secure their future felicity, and make the
despots who iuhabit the palace OF The Monezumas
undersa and the claims and rights of eemen shall be
respected
Viva la Lbertad Death to the yrants!

THE WAR BEGAN.
Int igence, on which we rely has just been received
from Camargo, that sharp skirmish has taken race
between the troops OF Col Caryaja aud the regulars
of the Government at that city. in which number of
men wounded, and which resulted in the tri-
umph ofthe Parrots We are not Informed oil the de-
tails There is no doubt, however, that Camargo is in
The hands ri the vctors, and that they in march
| for Reynoso and Maamoras, The Government has
so weakened itself by sending reiniorcements to Ca
MARCO that these places will fall easily into the hands
OF the TevoutionSts. We eard that General Avalos
