Latter from Northern Mexico,


Recent events in Northern Mexico indicate that our
prediction of determined resistance in that quarter
to the new order of things instituted by the reyolu-
zion Of Taeubaya will be fulfilled, together with
attempt to establish independent confederacy Of
the Northern States The Brownsville Flag Of the
| 9Th inst has the following:
We learn from reliable authority that preparations
have been making by our neighbors in Matainoras,
and generally throughout the States OF Tamaulipas
aid Nueve-ieon y 0oyhua, for a revolt against the
dicatoral powers recently assumed by Sr. C0monort
at the instgation Of the reactionary party, who, it
seems promised the President profsion of all that
his ambition might crave inthe shape OF power and
wealth, il he should overthrow the present liberal
order OF things and assume dictaoal powers IN fofo
70 which proposal he readily acceded. Governors
Cara and Vidaurr declare their intention TO sustain
the liberal principles set forth in the Constitution
that has kept Comonfort in power, and in fact, under
which instrument he was elevated to that high posi-
ton. All the Liberalsts of the country feel their
rights trampled upon and unless Congress is called
TO adopt that will cede TO the support
OF the original Consultation the rights belonging
10 them free citizens, general revolution may be
expected and the Comonfort adherents will doubtless
finally meet with just retribution.
The Flag Of the 18th says
The Northern States of Mexico never have re.
ceiyed much aid from the General Government. They
have suffered immense losses from the depredations
OF Indians and they never have had the protection
OF military force for any length OF time The citi
zens of the country have defended themselves from
these aggressons far as they are able They have
been robbed, piaged and killed by bands of Indians
and rufians; yet they never received much military
aid except such as was granted them by their own
state And now, who are they indebted to for the
protection of life and property? Certainly not to
Congress or Comonfor, although the former Of these
was about to adopt some remedial measures on this
subject previous to its dissolution. They alone are
indebted to the Governor and inhabitants OF the
states that have announced their intention to carry
out the liberal principles of the Constitution Of 1857
which elected Obmonfort to the Presidential seat
Contending for these rights the whole Republic
will be conquered by them with their former rights
or form an independent confederacy within them
selves They are determined to have an independent
country or die in the effort In the event they should
secede from the Southern and Middle States or from
that portion OF the country which is in favor of
dsctatorial system, all the wealth and enterprise will
be concentrated along the Rio Grande and the extreme
northern portion OF the country. The rich of the
Sierra Madre will be extracted from the earth and
converted in the usefulness of trade The arts and
sciences will be encouraged, for where liberty is
cherished and reeness of speech granted enlighten
ment and advancement are the natural consequences
The same paper has the following intelligence:
We learn from private source that schoonerhas
arrived off Brazos Santiago with troops from Tampi-
co, sent by orders of Gen. Moreno. Its commander
is said TO have sent dispatch to Col Garcia of Maa
moras telling him to evacuate that port or he would
Immediately compel him to do SO by the armed forces
at bis command.
We cannot say whether this Is true or not, but it
came froma gentleman who lives in Matamoras, and
was believed by him to be true.
Ell Restaurador, of the I'd inst, contains proclama-
ton of Gov Vidaurr to the people OF Nuevo Leon y
Cohabua charging them to fight for the constitution
Of 1857. Letters from Gen. Moreno, of Tampico,
and Gov Morett, OF San Luis Potosi, are published
in the same paper, in to letters written to
them by Gov. Vidaurri asking their cooperation
with him. but they refused to do SO, they having de-
clared themselves in favor of Comonfort. Prepare
tons are being made in Monterey for resistance A
great number of troops has already been collected
together and the leaders seem sanguine of success
The same paper, Of the same date, states that Don
Ignacio de la Lave had left the interior of Mexico
for Vera Cruz few days previous with 800 men and
four pieces of artillery to attack the" military who
have rebeled against the liheralisfs Mt that mort
