THE INsURREcTIoN IN NORTHERN MEXICO.


| The Southern mail of last night puts US in pos
session of the details of the projected revolutlona-
ry movement in The Northern Provinces OF Mexico,
concerning which we have lately had several Iele-
graphic reports. 1t appears that the cltlzens oil
Guerrero and those in the vicinity oil Camargo
have pronounced against the Mexican Government;
that a battle has been fought between the Revolu-
tionists and the Government troops at Camargo, IN
| which the former were victorious and that they
had taken possession of the place, and were threat
ening Reynosa and Matamoros.
We hastily gather the following particulars OF
the causes and progress of this revolutionary move
ment from the " Rio Bravo" of the 24th ultimo, a
paper lately established at Brownsville, on the
American side of the Rio Grande
PRoNUNcIAMrENTo ON THE RIO GRANDE.
We copy from the Bien Pubico Of Matamoros the follow
ng plan and pronunciameno, signed BY Don Ignacio Ca
naIez and other citizens of Guerrero and forwarded by them
the manng General of the Mexican forces ut Mata
moros. The extend throughout the State
of Tsmaupas, and it said will be general in all the North
States of Mexico. The patriot forces commandedby
Col D1n Jose Marie j. Cavsa and already number near
thousand His plan aud pronuncismiento are e1-
ensvey circulated throughout the Republic, adopting the
twelve articles of the Guerrero Patriots, found below.
The looks truly formidable, and we believe is
regarded by the authorities of the General Government
the way:
PLAs-The subscribers all citizens Of the city Of Guerrero,
the State Of Tamaupas convinced that the national rep
esentaion has paid attention the repeated petitions
which they have sent to that sovereignty through the
spending sources for The sbnshment Of prohibitions and the
reduction of The tariff the protection due to stop the depe
daons Of the Indaus already nsuppoable, well the
oppression they suffer- owing the restriction, together with
the hostility Of the barbarians, the complete destruction
only those who speak, but Of the whole frontier, have
decided and resolved sustain with their the contents
of the following articles

Of the eleven preceding asicles be granted and
realized If the General Government should be obstinate in
refusing the armed petition of this one containing all the
wants OF the whole nation, the States adopting this plan will
organize Provisional Government laying aside all idea of
secession annexation, and 10 order that this plan may
have the necessary publicity this meeting has resolved
address the the usrious Ayunamiento being the
body Of this city, leaving their consideration and debe-

GENERAL ORDERS
To be read 10 the Defenders of Merican Liberty cho under
my orders, s,cear to combat against Iyrants
All people earth, both ancient and modern, have
themselves compelled by the weight of the oppes-
sion Of unjust and cruel yrants take up and recon-
que with fire and blood their violated sacred rights re-
assuming that sovereignty which, gift of the God Of the
Universe, belongs to them The People are soveregn-Gov-
eminent only instituted make them happy and carry
out their WILL The People, them the granior and Gov
eminent agent, and the whole world knows that when
an agent far from carrying the will Of the grantor
procuring the welbeng of his interest," usurps powers
granted to him, and takes unto himself his property
and rights thereby causing his ruin, other left
but to that bad servant and in his place put
faithful one.
In this the Republic Of Mexico finds itself, and more
particularly the north and northwest portions Of said Repub
lie. The unfortunate end Of the last left them in mise
ry and without lis richest territories and resources Their
property nearly all lost without remuneration forty
millions OF dollars would not pay osses without

now doubtful and shall have spend thousands Of dol
lars to learn our rights recognised The savage
ders our parents and brothers, violates wives and carries
off children capves he desoates our fields and robs us
OF our property and the Government remains deaf to our
lamentations and complaints Its troops far from occupying
themselves IN defending consong us rob and murder
counymen, under the frivolous pretex that they are smup
Cling although these troops when before the enemy, hy
cowardlke Repeated complaints, representations and pro-
tests have been addressed the Government of Gen. As
snd far from hearing he has attempted to humble and in
timidate US, if we vile slaves.
On the other hand, the nation is the verge of peci-
pce, owing its bad governors who only look out for them
selves The public funds administered with honesty
and the bastard influence of monoposts more powerful
than the universal camor of all the Mexican II is on this
that the and an-repubcan system esab-
shed by the ancient Spanish monarchy sustained and
why the existence Of the itself exposed squandering
IS immense and insulting the sovereign people,
Uu children not educated and they discipline
in the school of military desposm, fathers had
conquered independence and domestic lbery And
what is still, sggravatns to-day, is that the people of
