CANApIAE RECIPROCITY.

Mr. Seymour's bill, presented TO the House
Of Representatives from the Committee on
Copmerce, appears in our regular repart Of
Congressional proceedings. !! provides simply
that whenever Grea. britain shall open the
fishcriea 10 the citizens Of the United States
on the same terms on which they are possessed
by the inhabitants Of the Provinces, and ahall
admit certain enumerated articles TO entry
into colonial ports free Of duty, the United
States will receive the same articles from the
British North American Provinces on the Same

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb ~.
By the arrival of the steamer Albatross, from
Vera Cruz we have dates from the city of
Mexico to the 25th ultimo. The papers are
filled with accounts of the revolutionary move

1t appears that after the election of the
Mexican Congress by Ceyalios, Chief Judge OF
the Supreme Court who assumed the rens Of
Government on the flight of Arista, ifty-eight
OF the elected members assembled in private
house on the 2lst, and passed articles Of i'm
parchment against Cevalos and elected Osorio,
Governor of Puebla, as President ad interim.
Osorlo, however, refused to accept the preferred
honor, and the garrison Of the city pronounced
in favor Of the plan Of Guadalajara.
Ia announcing this result, the Government
paper, FL Sig.o says that the revolution is at
an end, and that the whole country is now in
favor Of the plan of Guadalajara
General Benio, Minister OF War, has sent
message to Gen. Uraga urging his immediate
presence at the capital as no Cabinet can be
formed until has arrival
General Uraga at the latest accounts, was
marching toward the capital, and it is report
ed that he is perfectly willing to recognise Ce-
vallos, and also Congress, provided the latter
will reform the Constitution
Ceyallos had issued proclamation, opening
the ports OF Mazatlan, San Bias Tampico, Vera
