LATER FROM THE RIO GRANpE.-The Calves
ton News has q letter from a correspondent, da
ted Brownsville, May 81, which corroborates tn
news of another outbreak in Mexico. The cor
respondent of the News says:-
The agony is over aud the standard of revol
has again been unfurled 10 the "battle and tn,
breeze" in the neighborhooj of Monterey. Th
city is by this me in the hands of the revou
.tinnists, as in the official communication saw
yesterday they said that no opposition would be
made to their entrance into it.
The movement initiated somewhat soon
er then its lesders had intended, and as they
were betrayed they escaped out of the place and
proclaimed war against the tyranti in one of the
towns near Monterey. Thel eaders for the pre-
sent is Don Sataeo Vidauri for many years Sec
rotary of State OF Nuevo Leon under the federal
form Of government. Monterey is the most
wealthy and populous city in Northern Mexico,
andin this case self preservation will induce its
inhabtanes to furnish the means with which To
organize force sufficient to successfully defy
the despot aud his minions. AS write, the
most intense excitement prevails among the nu-
meroas exiles here, and the leading men among
them will soon be among the revolutionists, fully
determined to do or TO die.
Before the present movement took place all the
artillery in asd about Monterey, including all the
guns in the celebrated Black Fort, had been re-
moved into the interior of the country, and the
very general beliefis that the oity would not even
attempt TO defend it.
