ANOTHER REvoLurIoS IN MExIco.-
We learn from a gentleman who has re-
Gently returned from the Rio Grande that
revolutionary party has been organized
in the Departments of Tamaulipas, Neu-
va Leon, and Coahuila, sufficiently pow
erful, he thinks, to expel the Government
troops, and establish an Independent gov
eminent in all the valley of the Rio
Grande east of the Sierra Madre. Their
plans are now so well matured that de-
cisive blow will probably be struck in
a few weeks. A large number of volun-
teers from Texas have been enlisted, and
large Quantities OF arms, ammunition,
and military stores have been procured to
carry on the war against the Central
Government. Upwards of low hundred
Texan volunteers were encamped near
Roma few weeks since, waiting for or
ders from Canalcs and his associates.
1t is said that Gen. Avalos and the other
officers in the command of the Mexican
forces are aware that the great mass of
the peop,e of these Departments are OPP
posed to the Central Government, and
they have intimated to the leaders Of the
revolutionary party that they can offer
but a feeble resistance if respectable
military force is brought TO operate against
them. 1t is also said that Gen. Avalos
has actually removed a portion of his
property TO Brownsville. in anticipation
of the success of the revolutionary party.
Carabaia at present is the ostensble COM
mandcr of the revolutionary forces; but
as soon as offensive operations are COM
menced, it is probable that Canalcs will
take the command in person.
The Americans along the Rio Grande
are quite confident that this movement
will be successful, as the Central Gov
eminent is 50 destitute of means that it is
unable 10 pay the soldiers now stationed
along the frontier, and they are consc-
quently very much dissatisfied. 1t is be-
lieved that a large number Of Government
troops will Join the standard OF Carabajal
as soon as it is displayed on the west bank
of the Rio Grande. Many of the mer-
chants on this side of the river are will
ling to aid the revolutionary party, as
they have suffered severely from the i'm
positions of the Mexican cuStom-house
officers. The trade of Brownsville, Ro-
ma. and of most of the towns on the east
bank CT the Rio Grandc has lately been
almost ruined by the Mexican revenue
officers, who have endclvorcd, by the
most tyrannical impositions. TO prevent
Americans from trading with any of the
towns or settlements in the interior.
In the ncighborhood Of San Antonio a
number Of aiTrays have occurred, and one
or two murders. Society appears to be
in rather a bad condition in that quarter.
AT Brownsville, q few days ago duel
took place beween Mr.. Harrison. of that
town. and Mr.. Clarke, of Point Isabel, in
which the latter was killed. Harrison
has absconded. but will. il il said, return
and court an investigation.
WILD Pic cons have been remarkably
numerous in the region Of Plat sburg. n.
Y. this season. The roost Of The birds
is in forest. some six miles long and two
wide. each tree containing from tw enty TO
eighty nests. Companies Of pigeon-catch-
crs went out from Vermont. and they.
with others, have sent more than one mil
lion eight hundred thousand birds to the
city markets. Seven hundred bushels Of
grain were fed out TO them in baiiing.-
Hauls have been made of twelve hundred
at one time. The noise made by the birds
at their cnclmpment was so great that
persons could not converse five yards
apart. They disappeared on the 18th OF
July, taking their flight over the forests
north of Vermont, towards Maine. The
flight over Plattsburg continued for sew
eral days.
