Our correspondent in Matamoros, Mexico, fur
nishes statement Of the political influences which
produced the late revolution in the northern portion
Of that country and chronicles the progress Of the
vidaurri movement against President Comonfort, In
series Of letters dated the 10th and 9th Of August
and 9th Of September. It appears that General
vidaurri demanded the removal Of Comonfort from
the position Of President Substitute, the ground
thas he had violated the plan Of Ayutla, in endea
vosinE 70 render all the States entirely subservient

gated. Comonfort denying these positions, vidsurr

Vidaurr by his example, in the rebellion whilst Ge
neral Cara had arrived at Tsmpico from Mexico

United States and this report had prejudiced many
people against him. Great excitement existed In
Monterey owing 70 this new complication of ar
fairs. vidaurri had addressed the people in a
grandiloquent proclamation. Five thousand ex.
cited men were under arms there, and IL was con-
sidered that desolating civil war was at hand in
unfortunate Mexico, should Comonfon attempt to
execute any Of his late DEGREES against vidaurn
