Passing events in the interior of Mexico have
again greatly revived the hopes Of Santa Annals op.
ponents the other side of the river, as the plot
against the Dictators power evidently thickens and
he is unequal to the task of mastering his enemies
and rivals.
The late miserable farce, mis- led an election, in
Tamaulipas, resulted in its vote being given for
Santa Anna, although Reynosa, and other small
places, not under the immediate sway Of bayonets,
voted for that RECONCILIATION Of liberal institutions
Don Juan Bautista Cevallos. In Monterey the capi.
tai Of Nueyo Leon, in Iinares and other places the
vote given in favor OF the illustrious IN Luis
de Ia Rosa, ex-M'nis.er Pleni ooteutiary, &C., in
Washington. Gen. Cardona, civil and military
governor OF Nuevo Leon, vulgar, iterate, ne nj.
civilized old trooper, fined the aguntamento or
municipal council Of the CITY, ia the sum of fifteen
hundred dollars for having cast the vote against his
mastM. This fact speaks volumes as to the nature
OF the election.
The fact is now known as to the storning of
Morea the capital of Mi ;hoscan by the revolution
lists on the 24th ut, although it Is pretended by the
government press that q reinforcement arrived in
ime to save the city and drive out the stormng
party. Don DomiI go Echagsray who had been ao-
pointed Governor and Commac ding Gene al by
Santa Anna, was killed at the Paacs by one of the
stormDg columns. Matters are rapidly assuming
snch an aspect that very few really believe that the
Dictator Will sustain himself much longer; and what
in fact has SO far kept him In power is the crcum-
stance that Alvarez in cold weather cannot move
bis pintos from the South aud consequently there is
nothing to fear from him in Mexico before the
winter Is over.
On the 18th of this month the Mexican Consul iu
this Place Published circular: informing all the
late revolutionsts that he was fally authorized by
His Serene Highness to grant q full pardon to all
who would accept OF his paterns enity, and as yet
not single one of the rebels has avaed himself OF
the merciful offer. They took upon 1t as adding
As yet nothing decisive has been done by the
leaders OF the late revolution, who continue here
anticipating sudden change of affairs. The uu-
allow any of the military to take a hand in the
movement has retarded their operations; aud
observe that reaction in public feeling has taken
place In favor OF Carvajal, who was here some four
days ago and had an interview with them. Should
any movement take place shortly he will certainly
be one Of its principal leaders. One OF the reasons
that makes him fayorite is his uncompromsing,
undyiDg hostility to the military a class, as also
the little or no love he feels from education for the
standing church In Mexico.
The steamer Nautilus in her last tip from New
Orleans, was blown off the Brazos Santiago bar
down to Tampico, and after sustaining considerable
escape with all her passengers, su ,ceeded in for
tunately running into Tampico when they almost
considered her as lost. The most painful solcitude
was felt for her fate, but she Is now safely moored
inside the Brazos Santiago bar.
Sickness has in manner subsidized, and the frosts
and cold weather now having will restore the
place in short time to Its usual good health.
No visible change for the better In the traffic of
this place, nor gill there be any before we have q
change Of rulers among our magnanimous"
neighbors. No news from the upper Rio Graude,
ana people generally are well satisfied with their
lot on this frontier. Adios, Rio Bravo.
