MEXICO, Feb. q, 1859.
The revolution OF Negrete, ex-Minister OF War
under President Juarez which, at the date OF my
last letter and kilograms forwarded by the French
steamer, had assumed q most threatening aspect,
considering the suddenness with which 1t burst
upon the people ana the want OF success which the
government had met with in its attempts to put 1t
down, met with decided check from the loyal
troops the 22d OF February at San Martin Atexcal,
State OF Puebla, over q hundred miles distant from
the capital. The government troops were under the
chief command OF Major Generals Allatore and Gar
cia, Brigader Generals Aguiluz Cuellar, Rodriguez
BOcard0 and Leyva, commanding separate col
umns OF infantry and cavalry. The govern
ment published an extra, declaring that the
forces Of Negrete had been completely routed,
and that. broken up into small squads. he was
endeavoring to himself The friends OF Negrete
declare that he trained such scattering OF his forces
In order to mislead the enemy ana at given point

believed that the effort OF Negrete will prove fail
ure, and that the government has exhibited Its
strength In rapidly smothering this rebellion.
long time had elapsed since the serious and fOrmida-
BILE attempt at revolution In Yucatan and Stnaloa,
and the SUCCESS Of the government over both Of these
had intmidated the many who were cursed with the
innate longing for revolution. But 1t seems that
Negrete had the boldness to make another attempt,
and falling. there is to believe that another
popular leader will not be very found for this
disquiet element Of the Mexican population.
Ispeak not of the revolution in Tamaulipas. The
truth is that the people here know little or nothing
in regard to it. In the absence OF railroad commu
ncation and the inability to travel in that direction
in consequence Of the numerous bands prevailing
about the country, to say nothing OF the daily rob-
berry OF the mails to and from Mexico, Tamaulipas
Is further from this capital than Abyssinia was
or Is from the HERALD office. As q c0nse-
quencc we have become accustomed to look upon
Tamaulpas as lar distant land, occupied by an un-
happy people intent upon playing the part of Kilkenny

Olcers but the record which at least the former Is
making for himself rather indicates that there must
be some mistake or 0verestmate made as to his So
called achievement at Queretaro In the summer OF
1867 over Maximilian Miramon and Mejia and the
that victory may be due rather to Miguel Lopez
whom the world has long since branded US traitor
to the cause he espOused.
There have been comments OF late IN the press at
the supposed significance OF interviews which are
said have taken place between General Rosecrans
and President Juarez and his Cabinet. AS the times
have been lately rather troublesome, and 1t Is be-
lieved that the danger to which the money .'c0n-

IN the country, might possibly assume the most
alarming aspect it has been rumOred that the visits
OF General kosecrans at the Palace had some extra
ordinary bearing upon the condition OF things, and

it advisable to publish the following IN the official
paper OF Monday, February 22:-
Some dailies Of this capital have said that the
Minister OF the United States had conference lately
with the President of the republic and his Cabinet
upon important business. We know that this news
Is not correct. General ROsecrans lately saw the
President and some Of his ministers twice, but upon
private and extra Official matters, which did not
affect the relations Of the republic with the United
States.
