Mexico Genera Minon has been routed by Gen

from the Didyi0 de Ia Marina, taken from the Yer
Cruz papers of the 18th:
The mail which arrived yesterday from the cit,
Of Mexico confirms the rumors which were circu
lated yesterday that DON Mariana Arista had re
signed the Presidency, and Don Juan Bautist,
Cervallos, President of the Supreme Court, hae
assigned the direction of the government in yirtu
of his Office. The Sigio of the 4th says:
!" Yesterday every thing was uncertainty in tn
city; startling rumors circulated through tn
streets, keeping all parties in ferment and Their
was much doubt az to whether General Artist,
oppose the resignation. The ministry desired Il
ascertain public opinion the question, and lonl
conferences were held with the principal deputies
particularly with the members of the Financ
Committees of both Houses. General Arista be
coming persuaded that be could not obtain extra
ordinary powers from Congress, resolved to resign
the Presidency.
"This determination became public. and alarm
ing rumors were circulated, but they had SO it'll.
effect that the theatre that night was filed to
flowing. 1t was confidently stated on one hand
that dictatorship would be proclaimed, while on
the other it was announced with equal certainty
that pronMnciomento would take place in favor
OF the plan of Guadalajara. All this was unfound
ed. Public tranquility has remained undisturbed
in the capital. A few foreigners appeared in the
coffee houses and in the German CLUB with arms.
but only with the view of protecting property in
case of disorder.
General Arista left the palace at half past one
In the morning in his COACH with an escort of fty
men from the police brigade and small guard
from the NTH regiment. We do not know what
route he took.
''The President of the Supreme Court of Justice
arrived at the. palace at midnight. having been
sent for BY the President, who, we understand
lett with him the letter of resignation to be pre-
sented to Congress-, and handed him an official
communication, authorizing him, in conformity
with the constitution, to assume the executive
power.
"The Chambers called to meet at 10 O'Clock
this morning, and perhaps President ad interim
will be named to-day. Present appearances indi-
cate that a majority of the members desire TO
maintain order, and there is every probability
that Senior CavalIos will be elected. The new
government has legal origin, and the events of
the past three days prove that the people desire an
observance OF constitutional and legal forms and
the preservation of our institutions"
we continue our extracts from the Vera Cruz
papers of the 18th:
"By the telegraph of yesterday we learned that
the troops OF Minon have been completely routed
-
!, "Advlces have also been received by telegraph
that Colonel Tenorio has entered Queretaro at the
head of eight hundred men, determined to sustain
the plan of Guadalajara. 1t is more than probable
that the principles of the revolution are now gov
erning the State of San Luis.''
The following items are from the Vera Cruz pa
pers of the 18th:
tsWe are informed that the commandante of this
city yesterday received communication from the
government which has succeeded Arista, desiring
to know if he recognised the authority of the new
President We learn that the reply was in con-
formity with the principles proclaimed in this
place on the 28th ultimo, and that, consequently,
the parties in the city of Mexico should communi-
cate with General Uraga, the only supreme chief
recognised by the revolution.
"Senor Cevallos has formed his ministry as fol
lowe: General Blanco, War; Senior Iturbe, Urea
sury; Senior Ladron de Guevara, Foreign Rela-
tions; Senior Fuentes, Justice. These names indi-
cate the determination of the new government A
change of persons, but no reform in the order of
things. The same necessities and the same causes
for revolution exist. But this government is more
ephemeral than that of Arista, and will coon give
place to the plan Of Guadalajara-the dissolution
OF Congress which has forfeited the confidence of
the country, and the election of a President in
accordance with the will of the people,"
