The Revolution in Mexico

The New Orleans Plclvune Of January
26, contains the details Of the last news
from Mexico 1t hppears that Arista,s res
EQUATION was caused by the defeat of tine
G ,yernmcut General Mlnon, before the
walls of Gnldalalara The revolutionary
made sortle from the city, aud one of the
columns of the army of Mlnon, sent to ar.
rest It's progress, was completely defeated
with loss of three hundred killed and
wounded. A second sorlle so completely
defeated Geu Mnon's forces, that the sur
vlvors dispersed.
The Mexican Siglo of the Both ult., pub
fishes a list of the places in state of revo
luton within their borders, and two Others
are dissatisfied The dissatisfied ones are
TobaSc and Chihuahua.
The P,cayune ct Jan 9th, SAYS
" The revolution IN Mexico Is now tixeC
fact, but as ye, no one knows winch will be
the dominant party. The facts of the CASE
are simply these:-'l'ne federal troops he.

Lombardnl and Salas would pronounce III
the city of Mexico in favor of the plan oil
Guadaaara, and probable supposltlon is,
hiatt Gen Uraga, having no enemy to COM
bat would move al once upon the capital.
The Plcayune says that special commis-
sion has been sent for Santa Anna, and
thinks that he will 10 doubt again rule for a
time in Mexico.
Later news from Mexco-to the Goth of
January-says that the city of Mexico has
finally pronounced in favor of the revolu
ton. On the evening Of the 18th, Presi-
dent Cevalos, finding Congress refractory,
played the part of Cromwell, introduced a
large body of soldiers into the hall and clear
ed 1t of its members at the point of the
bayonet. On the same evening he issued
decree citing National Convention, to
meet at the capitol on the 18th Of June, to
reform the constitution, elect new Pres-
dent, aud exercise Legislative powers. He
also gave orders to the government troops
to cea,e h. stiIstes against the troops of Ur
ala. Two new papers have been started
to advocate the return o. Santa Anna.
