MEXICO CITY, Jan. 7.-The condition OF
affairs in San Luis is generally acknowledged to
nave grown very serious. In the revolutionary
plan first promulgated by General Agutrre no
announcement was madce against the Federal
Government; but as the latter has taken active
measures to put down this movement, a new
proclamation was Issued against the 6enefai
Government to which the former seem TO nave
been but a stepping-stone. By this most cum
ming and artful management there appears con-
fronting the Government large force OF thor
oughly drilled troops, as well ofcered, armed,
and equipped probably as any in the republic.
With all the artillery of the division In their
possession, money in their hands and no enemy
near it would appear that 1t will cost the Gov
ernment trouble to restore the normal condition
General Kocha is in Rio Verde, but is unable
to advance upon San Luis. General Equiluz
was ordered to take up his line of march for
that place. but body of troops was despatched
against him and he was compelled to retreat to
Queretaro The following is an extract of the
political revolutionary plan of these pronun-
cados proclaimed on the 3Oth OF December, to
which are signed the names of Generals Aguirre,
Pedro Martinez, Manuel Laranaga, and all the
officers of their commands; that Juarez has
acted contrary to the constitution, and during
eleven years has rendered no account to the
people, but has trodden upon their institutions;
that one of the first duties OF the forces of
republic is TO defend the principles and rights
of the people and not blindly make themselves
instruments to sustain slavery. These are the
usual attacks which are made upon the admins
tration, all of which are calculated to excite
the passions of the troops and lead weak
minded patriots to believe that they should
distinguish themselves by joining the rebel
lion. In consideration of these things they
PROPOSE
First. To refuse to recognize the Executive.
Second To recognize Congress, provided it
accepts the plan of the revolutionlsts and agrees
never to do wrong any more.
Third. There must be Immediately q new
shuttle and DEAL
In other words new election in order that
the outs may get in. State sovereignty must
be proclaimed The General Government must
be removed to some more central point of the
. republic. Governors OF States can retain their
positions by subscribing to the plan, which lat
ter can be changed to suit circumstances. The
public debt incurred in carrying out the plan
will be the first to be paid.
These are some of the changes which are to
regenerate Mexico, make life and property safe
and her people industrious, develop their wealth,
resuscitate her commerce, build up the haciendas,
now falling into ruins because their owners
cannot cultivate them at profit, build her rail-
roads, and place her on par with the leading
nations of the earth.
The Governor of Guanajuato announces that
he has been authorized by the Legislature to
organize a national guard of 1000 men. The
Governors of Vera Cruz, Oraca and Hidalgo
are ready to raise troops for the national service.
Owing to the demands upon the State of Puebla
to put down the revolution within her borders,
the Government is unable to furnish anyrecruits
to the call upon the various States by the Gene
raj Government.
1t is said that there is no police in the city of
San Luis Potosi. There are no persons willing
to act as officers of police account Of the fear
to offend either citizens or military. Slmulta-
neous with the movement in San Luis there have
been various Insignificant prOnuncidnientos in
Michoacan, Jalisco, Matamoros, Morelos, and
even Mexico. 1t is claimed also that there is
danger of the same near Acapulco. Vera Cruz
papers state that various bands of revolutionists
or robbers have been seen in that neighborhood.
Nothing of any great importance has taken
place recently in the Sierra of Puebla. The
troops of Alatorre have had some skirmishing
with the rebels
few days since q band of them came down
into small town, helped themselves to every
thing they desired, outraged all the women, and
then left. The papers are complaining very
much regarding the condition of neighbor-
hood called .Tierra negra," four leagues from
Queretaro. They say that travelling through
this vicinity has become absolutely impossible
The discovery of new gold mine at Parrol
in the State of Michoacan, is announced. A
Spaniard named Manuel Zordo was recently kid
mapped on the road between Tlalmanalco and
Ameca. Ten thousand dollars is demanded as
his ransom.
