We have papers and correspondence
from the City Of Mexico to the Sd inst.
The Mexican war steamer Estado de
Me;;co left Vera Cruz on the morning of
the 9Th inst, with 800 troops on board,
for Yucatan, in which place it was re-
ported that revolution had broken
out.
The Trait d'Union, of the 1st inst,
states that the post of Minister of War,
made vacant by the death of General
Tornel, and which had been filed ad
interiupa by Don Suarez Navarro, had
been permanently supplied by the ap-
pointment of Don Limo J. Alcorta, who
took the oath of Office on the 28th ult.
The same paper adds that some excite
nent had been created by Senor Neyar-
ro's having been ordered, on the 3Oth
ult., to Acapulco, whence he was to be
embarked for Manila, in consequence
of some act of insubordination.
A decree re-establishing the Jesuits
in the Republic has been published. 1t
is dated from Tacubaya, the 18th of
September, and is countersigned by
Senior Lares, Minister of Justice. They
are placed in the same position, in near
ly every respect, as they stood before
they were banished They are to be
considered as Mexican citizens, with all
the rights and duties attaching. Their
property is all to be restored to them,
with the exception of the college of
San 1ldefonso and its appurtenances, of
property devoted to military purposes,
of such as has. been sold to third par
ties, and of their places of worship con-
verted into parish churches or other re-
ligious institutions, with consent of the
Ordinary, or of the respective Bishops.
Funds raised for their aid during the
first year are relieved of the greater
part of the duties which would other
wise have to be paid on them. Four
members of the Order who happened
to be IN Mexico, DR.. Bassillo Arrillago,
and Fathers Lyon, Rivas and Icara,
have addressed to the President COM
munication, in which they invoke bles-
sings on his head, and explain the pious
and quiet course they intend to pursue.
On the 28th ult., funeral ceremonies
were performed in the city of Mexico,
in honor of the memories of the victims
of the war of independence. The au-
thorities of every class and large
number of notabilities were present on
the occasion. Similar ceremonies were
performed at Churubusco on the 18th
ult., in honor of the memory of those
who fell on the Goth of August, 1847,
on the occasion of the American inva-
sion.
The cholera continues its ravages at
Oajaca. The Academy of Arts and |
Sciences had been closed. A number of
wen-known citizens are named among
the victims.
At the execution of four criminals,
on the 96th ult., shocking addition
was made to the suferings of one of the
criminals. Three were garroted with
the accustomed readiness; but on the
executioner's endeavoring to perform
the last functions on the fourth, the !
machinery could not be made to work
For some minutes endeavors to force it |
to do so were made, but in vain; and |
finally the unfortunate victim was
obliged to be released from the chair, to
gaze on the corpses of his fellow suffer
ers, while one of them was lifted out to
make room for him, and finally to take
the seat in the chair thus vacated, there
to undergo his sentence. This is the
second time, of late, that a similar
shocking scene has been witnessed in
Mexico.
Some twenty executions have now
taken place in various parts of the Re-
public; there are now some sixty await
ing sentence; and still robberies as au-
dacious as ever, continue. The diligence
from Vera Cruz and Puebla was robbed
at La Cruz de Hernandez.
A letter had been received from Gen.
Arista, stating that he had recovered
from his malady, and purposed going
to witness the operations between Rus
sia and Turkey, should war break out.
Senor Pereda, the new Minister to
Guatemala, newly-created legation,
and Senior Frederico Falquet, Minister
to Central America, had both set out.
On the 22d ult., troops were marched
