MEXICO.


News from the CRY Of Mexico to the 9th of
December, aud from Vera Cruz to the 30th, re-
ceived via Havana, furnish some additional in
formation as to the late Mexican revolution. 1t
appears that Eeheagaray, commander of the ar
my known as the Eastern Division, pronounced
at Ayutla on the 20th of December. After fruit
less negotiations, Zuloaga was just on the point
of marching against Echeagsray, ignorant that
in the meantime that commander had been made
prisoner by the Governor of Puebla, when he
was himself stepped by pronuDcamento on
the part of the garrison of Mexico, headed by
Gen Robies, who, It seems, had been iD cor
respondeucs with EeheagaraY.
This new pronunciamiento set forth that, as
neither the Government of Zuloaga nor that
called constitutional had the moral or ply scsl
force to give peace to Mexico, it was necessary
that both should cease 10 exist, and that new
Administration should be established. resting
not upon the proclamation Of the amy, but up
on the consent and corporation of the peaeea-
BILE, wealthy and industrious citizens of all par
Ties, Eho suffered most from the present stale of
commotioD. That to bring about this result,
junta should be formed ITO which measure Ecie-
agaray had consented) of such respectable eiti-
zens Of the different States, of all classes aud
parties, ss the war had driven to take refuge in
the capitol, which junta, within five days, should
proceed to establish provisional Admnistra-
tlon, nominating tia person to exercise Eroyi-
slonpliy The supreme power, fixing the limits Of
bis authority, and prescribing also the mode and
form ln which he should call upon The nation to
frame new Government aud that, uutil this
provisional Governments was established, Gen.
Robes should be invited to tie chief COM
mand.
Tb. Governor Of Puebla gave in his aiht-
renee to this new movement. Rohes scot off
commissioners to Mlramon, commanding the ar
my OF the n9rth. and to Suartz, at Vera Cruz,
"na, aa u to ope. the way to reconciliation aud
union, ali the political prisoners IN Mexico were
released, and the towns of Cordova aud Orizaba,
10 the State Of Vera Cruz, which the Z1loaga-
ist had occupied, were abandoned TO the Con-
stitutionalisis, who also reported TO have
occupied Jalspa.
During the session Of the junta assembled in
accordance with this pronunciamiento, news ar
rived OF Miramon's victory over Degollado-
whether details Of the occupation Of Guadala-
isra, of which ielegraplio account had some
time before been received, or fresh victory,
dees not distinctly appear. This news, hswey-
er, whatever it Was, decided The choice Of the
juuta III favor OF Miramon as Provisional Chief
What conditions for the exercise of this Provi-
sional suthority were fixed upon, or what pro-
visions made Ger framing g new Constitution, We
are not informed, nor is there Ye, any certain
information WEATHER jaarcz, at Vera Cruz, and
much less whether VidIarri and the other north
ern chiefs, will be disposed TO iuto this ar
langenlent. Aiiramon, thus raised 70 the head
of affairs, ard who has the prestige Of two bril-
laat victories 10 sustain him, is quite young
uau, not yet SO, and brought iuto notice en-
tireiy by the recent troubles. While Comonfort
held the supreme power and endeavoled TO steer
middle course between the Conservatives aud
Reformc,s, Miramon, who, in Santa Anna's
time, had been only lieutenant, beaded, along
with 0sullOs, enc of those bodies of euerillas
which, in the maine Of ''religion and privileges,'
annoyed without essentially endangeriug the
administration of Comonfoit. Wnen the roro-
lulon headed by Zuloaga broke out, Osollos
aud Alramon joined in it, md by their skill
aud daring contributed largely to its success
They were rewarded for their services BY the
command of the Northern army, Oaollos re-
ceiving the Chief command, to which, on lis
death, Miramon succeeded. Whether he pos
sesses civil as well as military talent, remains
10 be seen.- .f. Y. Tfi6nnr.
