TIE NEW REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.
From The y,u. O,iean. Pieayuns, Dee. IS.


By the steamship Tennessee Capt. Forbes, arrived
this morning from Vera Cruz the 2lst inst, we have
most important news from the Mexican Republic
The new Constitution has been overturned and done
away with forever; the Federal Councils have been
broken up and dispersed Comonort declared sole and
absolute Dictator with powers to call extraordinary
Congress the capital is in arms, and other principal
cities, including Vera Cruz, have pronounced.
This import ant event took place Thursday morn
inc the 18th inst. and was sudden as the move
ment was bold and daring. Everything seems to have
been planned BY ComonfOrt and EI-Gov. Bar carried
his wishes into execution with GOODNESS and ceersy
tina, only ha. its parallel in tho French coup deat OF
the Cd Of December.
The only forewarring, indeed the Congress or the
people had of the contemplated overturn WAS, with
most upexampod hardihOod, given by Gov. Baz him
self the day before. That day. personally present III
the Chamber of Deputies he was made the object OF
very severe criticism, and nulnerou, charges were
made against him. SO far, however from degnlng
TO reply TO them he rose in his seat, and after reDuk
ing the Congress in general terms for their puerlle
course from the opening of the session, openly ana
plainly told them that that WAS the last day they
would ever meet in those Chambers, for the neAt
day they would be swept away.
Zone however seems to have believed him. But
the next morning, at O'Clock, the roar OF cannon IN
the heart of the city showed it WAS no idle threat
Soon after the brigade "Zuloaga," one of the most
trusted corps, conveniently stationed at Tacubaya,
cane marching in and took possession Of the citadel
Garta and other strOngholds, amid salvos OF arti.
lery which proclaimed that new order OF things hao
begun.
No resistance whatever seems to have been made;
indeed there time for action on the part OF the
opposition On the contrary tho bells OF the city rung
out rockets were sent up and sysFnns evnfsS inc
somewhat subsidized, the following plan or proc!ama
tion made it's appearance:
