We have further interesting particulars of the
progress Of the revolution in Mexico. A letter
dated Acapulco, Aug. S, written by one Of the
friends Of the movement says
BY an extraordinary express sent by Senior
Gen. Don Plutarco Gonzales, dated Tejupilco,
July 20, to his Excellency, General Alvarez, we
have received the pleasing news Of the pronun-
ciamento Of the capital Of the department of Pu-
eblo together with the cities Of Vera Cruz, for
mery known as the three cities, and that Foluca
has been abandoned by the forces Of the usurper;
Gen. Gonzales taking possession OF the same,
with all his troops, ON the gath OF July. The
evacuation took place on the 23d, the object
being to approach as near the capital as possible,
to prevent the conservative party from proclaim
ing President, when Santa Anna shall leave
the government.
His Excellency, the General in Chief, (Alva-
rev. has received another communication from
the capital, Of the same date, urging him to
march promptly towards the " Babylonan city,
in order to organize his cabinet immedialy, that
he may BIO recognized and acknowledged by all
nations, by which the possible evils of anarchy
may be avoided. To this end all necessary
moneys are placed at his disposition to facilitate
his entrance into the capital.
The same letter announces that there is
strong opposition existing between the Ameri-
can Minister and the Dictator, because that func-
tionary, seeing the very critical circumstances
which surround this miserable administration of
the tyrant, has refused, in the name Of the Uni
ted States Government, to deliver to Santa An
ma the remaining three millions due on the sale
Of the Messilla Valley. Regarding which, we
positively know that his Excellency, the General
in Chief, Alvarez, has solemnly protested against
the payment Of the money to the tyrant.
The revolution may be considered terminated,
it being reduced to question Of few days,
when complete dispersion Of this sanguinary,
despotic and arbitrary administration, which for
the past two years by misfortune has reigned over
the Mexican people win be ended.
Another letter from the same place, dated
August 6, says:
General Montleana has this moment arrived
with an escort of fifty Dragons from Gen. Com
onfort's headquarters, with extraordinary dcs-
patches and news of highly important nature,
the particulars of which have not yet trans
pired. He has started for Gen. Alvarez head
quarters. The report in town is, that he brings
proposition to Alvarez for new President and
Cabinet for his approval.
BY way of New Orleans, we have by telegraph,
the following additional particulars of the fight
of Santa Anna and the attending incidents:
NEW ORLEANS, August 25, 1855.-Fuller ad-
vices from Mexico inform us that Santa Anna
left the capitol on the pretence Of proceeding in
person to quell the revolution in Vera Cruz.
On the 18TH instant, the citizens OF Mexico
adopted the plan of Ayutla. During the excite

of the Universal newspaper, and upwards Of forty
