The Mexican Revolution.

We have some further interesting particu-
lars Of the progress of tho revolution in Mex
i;O. A letter dated Acapulco, Aug. 5, written
by one of the friends of the movement says
"By an extraordinary express sent by Sc
Tor Gen Don PlutaracO Gonzales, dated Ire
jupilcO, July %, to his Excellency, Gen. Alva-
req, We have received the pleasing news OF the
pronunciamento of the capitol Of the depart
ment of Pueblo, together with the cities Of
Vera Cruz, formerly known as the three cities,
and that Foulca has been abandoned by TIE
forces Of the usurper; Gen. Gonzales taking
possession of the same, with all his troops. on
the oath of July. The execution took place
on 23d, the object being 10 approach as near
the capital Of the nation as possible, to prevent
the conservative party from PrOclaining
President, when Santa Anna shall leave the
government.
His excellency, the General-in- Chief, (Alva-
req has received another communication from
the capital, of the same date, urging him to
march promptly towards the " BsbyloniaI
city, in order to organize his cabinet imme-
diately, that he may be recognized and ac
kuowledged by all nations, by which the pos-
si5le 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 il a
strong opposition existing between the Amer
lean Minister and the Dictator, because that
functiOnary, seeing the very critical circum-
stances which surround this miserable admin
istratiOn of the tyrant, has refused, in the
name of the United States Government, to de-
liver to Santa Anna the remaining three mil
lions due on the sale Of the MeSsilla Valley
Regarding which, we positively know that his
Excellency, the Chief, Alvarez
has sOlemnly protested against the payment Of
the money To the tyrant.
The revolution may be considered termi-
mated, it being reduced TO a question of few
days, when q complete dispersion of this san
culinary, despotic and arbitrary administrs-
ton, which for the past two years by misfor-
tune has reigned over the Mexican people
will be ended.
Another letter from the same place, dated
Aug, 9th, SAYS:
General Montleana has this morning ar
rived with an escort of fifty dragons from
General COmOnfort' head quarters with ex-
traordinary dispatch and news of highly i'm
portant nature, the particulars Of which have
not as yet transpired. He has started for
Gen. Alvarez headquarters. The report in
town is that he brings proposition to Alva-
rez for new President and Cabinet for his
approval"
By way of New Orleans, we hare by te!e-
graph the following additional particulars #
the flight of Santa Anna and the attending IL
cidents:
