I.ate nnd Important front lllcn.
We learn from Captain Biscoe, ofthe hark F.u
enia, from Vara Cruit, whence she sailed on tin
12th Dep., that tha principal towns, and almost
tliu whole country, have tcclnrl against Santa
Ana, who, with a small force, Was at Qimretaro.
The revolution passed ofT very quietly, no blood
having been shed the former revolution having
been carried on by one party of military against
another, resulting in much loss of life; but this
movement coming from the people as well as
from the soldiery, makes the thing general, and
hence the little commotion of a disagreeable na
ture. Santa Ana has but tittle chance of over
'coming this movement, nnd it was a matter of
conjecture whether he would attempt to escape
or deliver himself up. He will very probably
endeavor to gain over tho opposite General by !
bribery or similar means, but in this it is thought
he will not succeed. In case that he is taken,
prisoner, the people will probably demand his
execution, as they deem his liberty dangerous to
the public safety.
Arrival op Mr. Cvsiii.no. Hon. C. dishing,
late Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States
to China, who arrived in town this morning, in
tin) barque Kugenia, from Vera Cruz, has com
municated to us the following in lor mat on. In
passing through Mexico, Mr. Cushing was rob
bd of nearly all his private papers, but fortunate
ly all the public documents were left unmolested.
Santa Ana was proclaimed Dictator, and all
seemed to go on well, but about mid-day the
troops barracked in the Accordada Saint Francia,
and the citadel, pronounced against Santa Ana
and Canalizo. At the head of the movement was
ti'en. Don Jose J. Ilerrera, President of the Coun
cil, who nddressed a proclamation to the city,
calling on it to sustain him.
The whole Congress immediately threw itself
into the arms of Ilerrera, who immediately took
possession of the National Palace without blood
shed. The Congress constituted its sessions perma
nent. The Ex-Ministers fled. Canalizo is in
arrest at his own house.
The four departments of Zucatecas, Aquesca
lientes, Sinai va and Sonora concurred at once in
th pronunciamento of Jalisco ; and thus the five
Northwestern departments were in arms at once
against Santa Ana. Between these anil Mexico,
there intervene the two departments of Guanaju
ato and Queretaro.
Taredes advanced to Lagos, on the frontier of
Jalisco, and there established his head-quarters,
with an army of 1 100 men, to await the progress
nl' events. In the contiguous department of Gu
atinjunto was General Cortazar with 2000 men,
on whom Paredes depended for support ; but the
rapid movements of Santa Ana himself prevent
ed Cortazar from joining Paredes (if he had the
intention) and compelled him ((or the present at
least) to declare for Santa Ana.
On arriving at Queretaro, Santa Ana found that
although the military authorities were professed
ly in power, yet the junto departmental had pro
nounced for the institution of Jalisco. There
lore he made known to the members that if they
did not repronounce in his favor, he would send
them prisoners to l'erote.
They refused; and three of them were imme
diately arrested by his order, and sent olF under
a strong guard in the direction of Mexico and
IViote. When the report of these proceedings
reached Mexico, the Congress immediately sum
moned before it the Minister of War and Govern
ment, to know whether they had authorized Gen.
Santa Ana to imprison the members of the junto
department of Secretary.
The position is now an extremely critical one
therefore. Every thing depends on whether his
troops adheru to him against the Congress and
the constitutional government. If they do he be
comes the military Dictator of the country. This
subject occupied the ' Chambers on the 2'Jth and
otith of November ; and their attitude had now
become so menacing, that the Presidento interiro
Canalizo (after consultation with Santa Ana) took
State and Police, D. Mariano Riva Palacois,
Minister of Justice-, Public Institution and Indus
try. D. Pedro J. r.eheverria, Minister of
Finance. D. Pedto Garcia Comic-, Minister of
War. And it was already known that the De
partments ol Puebla nnd Vera Cruz, had declared
their adhesion to the Provisional Government,
and there is no doubt that most of the other De
partment! will also support the Congress.
Meanwhile Santa Ann is Constitutional Pre
sident of tho Republic, hut unconstitutional in
command nflhfl troops employed against Pare
tics. Tho new Minister of War has ordered
him to give up his command.
If he refuse, he? become undoubtedly ffl rebel
and n traitor ; hcrntise n new provisional go
vernment in Mex-cois constitutionally constitu
ted. If ho consents, ho ceases to have any
troops for hie support ; he is placed at the mer
cy of his enemies.
It seems most likely that ho will havo to
yitdd to tho Rtortn , and if not deprived of his
life, he may escape to the United States by u
sudden march on Tampico, or to Mouth An. eri
ca, by wny of the Pacific.

was held at Milton, on the ?5th nit., for the pur

well attended as was expected. An address and
a number of resolutions were adopted. Public
sentiment, the great corrective of all moral and
political evils, has already done much in this
matter. To hold meetings and pass resolutions
on this subject, is right and proper, but we de
precate any thing like legislative action. Laws
passed for the correction of morals are seldom
effective. We have selected the following as a
mong the most important resolutions adopted by
the Convention :
