Mr. Fdto7,--The force of another revolution is
coming down upon us, if cannon and troops are
any evidence Of a muas. gentleman explains
to me that one day he came to this city, and
spent the time quite agreeably until o'clock,
when he went back to Brownsville, not at
all dreaming that he had been frolicking in
the midst of conspiracy. That same night.
about II O'Clock, he was awakened by fire Of
musketry and an explosion of cannon, and stood
on the east bank OF the Rio Grande looking at the
scene, which was brilliant with rockets and the
glare Of burning powder. Some said it was a
celebration: some said it was row Next day
he visited Matamoras, and the General with whom
he clinked glasses the day before was in prison,
and common soldier was the military despot Of
the hour. Gen. Garcia was the successful conspiE-
ator, and he is still in office. He himself is now
preparing to contest the place he holds against
another row, ami we are constantly looking for the
great conspiracy to break out. We shall have
lively times in NFatamoras the people say, soon,
very soon. The cause Is to be found in the fact
that the party in power refuses to allow those
who beat them in the last election to take the
Offices the people have chosen them to.
Another little matter of dispute exists or will
soon exist, in the fact that revolution is on the
point Of being declared against President Juarez,
in favor of EH-President Comonfort. ] have re-
peatedIy advised you that Gen. Comonfort had
warm friends at work in this section of the coun-
try, and that in due course OF time he would make
| a demonstration to recover the position he so in
eoriousiy relinquished in 1857. His plans having
| ripened, he left New Orleans six weeks ago for
this frontier, and has been stopping for the last
| four weeks at restaurant in the toHn of Browns
| vile. He has been in constant communication
with Gov. yidaurri of Nuevo Leon, who is in his
| interest, and on the night of the l1th of July,
understand she left quite suddenly. escorted by
twenty armed men, intending to travel on the

| is confidently asserted that the States of EueyC
| Leon, Zacatecas and other Northern Provinces
will at once declare in his favor, against Juare7
| and the Congress now in session i'll the City o
| Mexico. a
The authorities here were duly posted as tc
| Comonfort's plans, and an adroit attempt was
| made to inveigle him to this place, when if was
| intended to arrest him for treason. Tamaupas
always takes the opposite from Nuevo Leon, for the
people here are in constant dread that Vidaurr in

to his as he did with Coahuila, in defiance Of the
| Government
have been and am still pleased with Governor
Vdaurri for think he is the least selfish of all the
| petty rulers in Mexico. But | am particularly
satisfied with him since ! have conversed with /
| gentleman from Monterey, who Informs me tha
| Vidaurri has recently expressed strong sympath,
for the Confederate Government, and that he il
now willing TO do to the utmost of his power L
| protect this frontier. He offers an eXtradtioI
to deliver up to our fugitive slaves. If he vii
enter into these important negotiations, the Texa
frontier will be greatly benefited and justice vii
be done. If lie does not, and il Mexico does not
then yon must inevitably expand TO the Sierrt
Madre, for by that means alone can slave propert,
ever be made safe in Western Texas. Govern0
| Fidaurr confessed as much, am told, in his con
versations with Mr. Quintero, who has just re
turned from mission to Monterey, at the instanc
of the Confederate Government.
The Irish element, which has hitherto prevai!e
in Nuevo Leon, to such an extent that d spect
lating Jew said Nuevo Leon was about to be al
nexed TO Ireland is in danger Of losing its holt

merchants and the Dutch; but, so far, the Iris
have had the advantage.
