Letter from Col. Ramirez.
Gen. ANTONIO NJ JAUREGUI:
Ny dear Friend-I have received your esteemed
letter Of the 9th inst with the you were pleased
to send me by the same bearer from his Excelency
the President, Don Mariana Arista, aad both rela-
tive to nv taking interest in aoying this from
tier, tie tranquility Of which has been disturbed
by the revolution which has broken oat, and is
headed by Don Jose M. j. Caravajal believe it
impossible for you to imagine, Notwithstanding
your COED judgment, how il has panied me to see
that this frontier should have seen itself compelled
to take this violent bat necessary step for its
preservation for its disregarded wants, and for its
insalted rights Our representatives in vain raised
their voices to obtain a remedy for our evils in
vain the people met in popular juntas (meetings),
to present their complaints to the general govern
has the Governor Of the State made manifest the
evils on this frontier, and pointed out the remedy
for the same: and in vain have We, the individual
friends of ST. Arista continually indicated the same
to him. for the frontier has been left abandoned by
placing 1t in the hands of imp0litic and oppressive
military tyrants. who have exaspsrated and aggra-
waited the suierings Of its virtuous inhabitants
The government Of Mexico perhaps, deceived by
the Illusions of power and greatness, believed the
suferings Of this frontier to be necessary vassal
age from which it could not exsricate itself; and
on this account it looked upon it with Indifference,
and as q contempt bic coin of the republic but
it will be satisfied that it suffered for the honor
Of the nation itse and not for want OF capacity to
resist the attacks Of power.
All these towns have seconded the plan Of the
revolution by uniting their for,es to sustain it, in
asmuch as they have found it not only in accord
ance with their wants and interests, but in accord
ance with those Of the retrograders Of the interior
Senior Caravajal has already started from this
town with his forces; and have sent him your orr
ginal letter. for him to take the iRto consider
alton, and give it the attention he may deem pro-
per. | would wish that the revolution might be
terminated without further effuson of blood; to
me it would be grateful, for love order and peace,
but without deoasement. The government had
time to have cencliated the interests Of this from
tier, by polite measures; but it judged proper to
let 1t alone until the last moment and should it
realize this idea, it will afford pleasure. l be-
leve it difficult, and very imprudent, to delay in
proposing them.
This is all that can say in answer to your letter
attentive servant, who kisses your hands.

The Feeling on the Frontier.
In our columns Of to day readers will see seve
raj letters Of an interesting nature, and the one
from Don Matias Ramirez to General Jauregui, is
the answer to this Generals letter, dated Monterey,

He says that he sends him with his own, one from
the President of Mexico, and both have reference
to the revOlutiOn the from tier Tells him that
the government and Legislature Of the State (Ta-
naulipas), have not sanctioned the movement that
respectable forces from the interior are moving
Ciudad Victoria; and that towards that capital
(Monterey), General Uraga is moving with the
forces he had in Guanajuuto that General Avalos
will have been reinforced by the forces from Tam
pico and Vera Cruz that he has himself received
forces from the colonies; and that the governments
determination is to queu the revolution. That his
object cannot be to appeal 10 their fears, but would
want their convictions to induce them to abandon
the undertaking and retrace their steps while there
is chance of so doing 1T that war is at all times
to be greatly lamented, and he would willingly
eft his influence with the government to forgive
Colonel Caravajal, and his principal adherents, by
their accedirg to the proposals by him made in
uch good faith that he writes on the same subec
