We shell issue an Extra Herald soon after the news in received. _ Affairs in Washington, Apart from the reported movement of Mr. Buchanan, the intelligence from Washington is not of much importance. It is now said, probably with some truth, that the Hon James Buchanan has retired from the State Department, and that his nomination to the bench of the Supreme Court had been sent to the Senate. It will unquestionably be confirmed by in Unanimous vois. According to ou, telegraphic report, the pro- ovedings yesterday ii) Congress were confined to the continued debate on the tariff bill, and the retrocession of Alexargia to Virginia. While tho latter occupied the Senate, the former absorb- | ed the attention of the House. The principal section of the Union interested in the tariff debate, is Buncombe—a section of the United States that seems to be deeply interested in every question that comes before either the Senate or the House. Tt will be the Fourth of July to-morrow. That will afford us some comfort, for Congress will not sit on that day. ee ‘Tho News from Mexico—The Progress of Dis- memberment. The community was thrown into a small amount of excitement yesterday, by the intelligence that | a revolution in favor of Santa Anna had broken out on the twentieth of May last, in Guadalaxara, in the department of Jalisco. It appears that the revolutionists were very impetuous and hasty, and were composed partly of the military and partly of the people. The palace ofthe governor was assailed and taken, and preparations were being made for an engagement, when General Dugue, commander of the Mexican forces, pru- dently brought about a parly, by which he was allowed to proceed to the City of Mexico with the forees under hiscommand. The insurgents | our news via New Orleans. published a declaration in favor of the constitu- | tion of 1824, and the exclusion of the monarchi- oal principle. It appears from this news, that the dismember- ment of the Mexican nation, as now constituted, is progressing rapidly, and ere long the spirit of | discontent and hatred to the military usurpers of the capital, will become general, and result in the establishing ofa number of independent republies, that will be united under a constitution similar to tht of 1824, or that will maintain their rank, in- dependent of any central government. If the ; constitution of 1824 were restored and carried out The Foreign Correspondence of the New ' York Herald, We give to-day—on another page, some letters from our foreign correspondents—one from Paris and another ‘rom Vienna—which will be found to possess a great deal of interest. The proprietor of this paper has gone to Europe partly for the purpose of esiablishing a regular system of correspondence in the principal Euro- pean cities. It is his intention, during his tour, to visit all the cities of any note in Europe, and em- ploy in each a talented and well-informed person, to act as correspondents, and to give an account of every thing worthy of notice that, happens. Thus we shall have, at every arrival of a steam- ship, details of all the prominent political events, given with a truthfulness and accuracy that can only be imparted to them by the actual lookers- on. They will form a sort of Daguerreotype view of the capitals of the old World. The people of America are now pretty well ac- quainted with the affairs and polities of Europe, particularly of England and Ireland. They are aware that such countries as France, Austria, Prussia, Germany and Italy exist, and know just enough of them to have a strong desire to learn more oftheir social habits and their polities, It shall be our care to give them graphic sketches of the manners and customs of these different coun- tries. These sketches will be furnished by men #f talent, well acquainted with the countries they treat of, and who are actnally resident in the dif- ferent capitals, and whose standing and position in society will enable them to become conversant with every thing of importance. Thus we will be able to furaish our readers, every week or fortnight, or thereabouts, with news from the different cities of Europe, and at the same time we shall have an instantaneous me- dium of communication with the principal cities of this continent. This will bea state of things unheard of in the history of newspaper enterprise. | What glorious results may not be expected to en- | sue from this rapid communication ofintelligence! It is our intention that the progress and im- , provements of the New York Herald shall keep on Passi passe with the progress and improvement in steam and electricity: Very Late rrom Havana.—The brig Poland, Capt. Wheeden, arrived last night from Havana, with advices to the 20th ult. inclusive. We learn from one of her passengers, Mr. James Farlan, Jr., that the Mexican steamers were to proceed to England, and that they were making preparations fer that purpose, It is stated that the Governor of Havana had ordered their offi- | cers toland their guns previous to departure. We have files of the Faro Industrial to the 20th inst., but the intelligence is of little importance. Nothing had been received from Mexico later than The railroad from Puerto Principe to Nuevitas was under contract for completion. It is expected to be entirely in operation in thirty months. The festival of Corpus Christi had been engros- sing public attention. Owing to untavorable weather, the procession and public festivities were deferred till the 18th ult. The money market was in a very embarrassed | state, especially in the interior, from the scarcity of small coin, it being almost impossible to obtain change for 2 doubloon. The steamer Congress had sailed for Baracoa, | carrying a company of soldiers for that ancient point. i The work of lighting the city of Havana with | | €as is rapidly progressing. according to its spirit, there might be yet some | hope for this unfortunate country. But the ele- ments of revolution and discord have been too tong at work, we fear, and no prospect remains but its gradual and jotal dismemberment. The constitution of 1824 was a counterpart of ours, except that it declared the Catholic to be the religion of the country. The country prospered under this constitution—its resources were being developed—the ‘hand of industry was visible every where—every thing went on prosper- ously, until, in an evil hour, the sacrilegious hands of ambitious military leaders grasped it. From the fall of the constitution, until the present day, revolution has succeeded revolution—the country and the people have been plundered and harrassed nd, to crown all, the usurpers of Mexico have embroiled their country in a war with a powerful neighboring republic, whose armies are now marching triumphantly through the country. As far as this country is concerned, the intelli- gence may be considered favorable, inasmuch as it will divert Paredes from carrying on the war with any degree of energy. It is, indeed, rea- sonable to suppose, as we have before hinted in this journal, that Paredes’ object in accumulating forees, was for the purpose of facing the storm, which he saw gathering around him; and insread of marching tothe frontier to give battle to the Americans, to strengthen his position at home, and sustain it, if possible, against the friends and adherents of Santa Anna. There is one thing connected with this new revolution, that must not be overlooked. We al- lade to the hostility ofthe insurgents to the Ame- ricans. This hostility is accounted for, when we recollect that the Mexicans are Catholics, and that it has been the policy of their rulers to re- present ns in the light of enemies to their reli- gion; thus playing upon the tenderest cord, for the purpose of extorting means for the invasion of Texas, and recently for prosecuting the war. The public mind of that country will be enligh ened in this respect ere long; for, as we have mentioned in this paper, the administration has despatched two or five Catholic priests to that country, in the character of special chaplains, to erase all feelings of this nature Ponitical. Movements.—We understand that the wire pullers of the whig and democratic par- ties, are beginning to lay plans and concoct schemes for the ensuring fall election, This elec- tion will take place next November, when the people will be called upon to deposit their ballots for a governor and lieutenant governor of the State, four congressmen to represent this district in the House of Representatives at Washington, . 18 members of our State Assembly, besides a she. riff and county clerk. 1 Politicians appear to be taking time by the fore- lock, and the several cligues and parcels into which the parties are divided, are loud in repre- senting the availability and popularity ot their own particular pets. There is every prospect of split in the democratic party, throughout the State, in the nomination of governor. There are already three candidates in the field for Congress, viz: Col. J. D. Stevenson, Wm. B. MoClay and Alderman Messerole. For the office of sheritl, we have heard men- uoned the names of Mr. Westervelt and Alder- man Compton ; and Mr. Conner, the present effi- cient county clerk, will, nolens volens, as “Old Rough and Ready” would say, be compelled to accept a renomination, although a prominent member of the State Convention would like the office Thus we have the complexion of political mat- tersat present. We would seriously recommend the huge-paws to keep cool this warm weather, if they ean, and postpone the quarrel for the plun- der till frost shall have come. Then they can go to work and demolish each other, without danger of being overheated or receiving a coup de soliel. We have heard of some secret movements in the whig | arty, which we shall Rive at day. a Anorner Fire in Quepec.—We learn that ano- ther fire: had broken out, at the last accounts, in Quebeo, arid had destroyedYorty or fifty houses. an early The St. Cecilia and Havana companies were | making arrangements for giving grand musical concerts this summer. Wuo wit Give vs Crear Breap?—There seems to be quite an excitement in’the city just now, in consequence of the great disproportion between the price of bread and flour. In spite of any assertions to the contrary, it is a fact, that as a general thing, bread is selling at the same price now, when flour is frem $3 50 to $5 per barrel, as it was when flour was at $8 and $10. There may be a few exceptions to this rule, but families who take bread from the bakers do , not derive the benefit of the low price in flour. | | Hon. Adjourned.—.4lbany Argus. In some of the cities of the Union there is a law regulating the price of bread, graduating accordance @vith the price of flour. In this city we have none, which we think is very Proper. Such laws may be never regarded, and have a tendency to make trade between man and man burdensome and clumsy. Whenever any grievance of this kind exists, the force of public opinion should be set in operation to abolish it. As the main tax in this matter falls upon the laboring portion of the community, to them we would say, buy your barrel of flow, and your good wives will be very glad to spend an extra hour in making good home-made bread , This \ you will find cheaper and more wholesome than the best baker’s bread, at the lowest price, ant such acourse will in a short time bring the bakers | to terms. i Sream Sutr Caueponta left Boston on Wednes- | day, for Halifax and Liverpool.

The Department of Jalisco DECLARED FOR SANTA ANNA. The Probable Speedy Overthrow of | Sr": LATEST FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. MILITARY PREPARATIONS, Xe. &e. &e, The New Orleans Picayune of the 24th ult, gives the following important intelligence from Mexico. b The Picayune says:—We received yesterday a copy of El Locomotor, of Vera Cruz, of the 8th instant, which is four days later than any advices reccived by the Falmouth. The news is impor- tant. A revolution had broken out in the Depart- |! ment of Jalisco. It commenced on the morning of the 20th May in the city of Guadalaxara. The battalion of Lagos, followed by other bodies of | military and by the enthusiastic populace, at tacked the palace of the Governor. The assault of the insurgents was so prompt thatthe guard had only time to make one dis- charge, by which one man was killed and one wounded. Some of the defenders recognized friends among the assailants, and refused to fire. The disaffec- tion then became general, and some of the lead- ers of the government troops were arrested to saae them from the fury of the insurgents, Some skirmishing ensued and prepara- tions were making for a general engage- ment, when General Duque, who had taken’ command of the government troops, proposed a parley. This was agreed to, and the result of the deliberation was that the troops under General Duyue should be allowed to retire with the honors of war, by a route designated by them, directly to the city of Mexico. Provisions were given them, , and they were allowed till the 22d to prepare for their departure. ” Don Jose Maria Yanez was at the head of the insurrection. A formal declaration was drawn up by the insurgents proclaiming Santa Anna their Chief, and declaring that a new Congress) should be summoned to be elected by the people, according to the electoral laws of 1824, to form ® new constitution in which the monarchieal principle is to be excluded. It also pravides that the Congress should meet four months after the liberating army shall gain possession of the capital. Don Juan Camplido is recognised as Provisional Governor of the De- partment, and his oath includes the repulsing of the infamous usurpation of the Americans. The Revolution in Mexico. (From the New Orleans Picayune, June 24.) By way of Brazos Santiago we received d yesterday a | copy of Et Locomotor of Vera Cruz, of the revolution has broken out inthe important Depart- ment of Jalisco. It commenced the morning of the 20th May, in the city of Guadajara The bat followed by o her bodies of military and by the enthu astic populace, attacked the palace of the Governor.— ‘The assault was so prompt that the defenders had scarce- ly time for 1a single discharge of artillery, by which one man only was killed and one woun cry of the assailants was‘‘ Long live the Republic, and death to a foreign Prince.” Some of the troops atthe palace re- cognized friends among the assailants and ed to fire ; upon them. A company from San Juan de) los Lagos joined the insurgents, and very soon after the soldiers composing the garrison, se general was the disaffection. Some of the leaders of the government troops were rested to save them from the fury of the inpurgents— among others, Gen. Galindo and the ex nor, Don Antonio Escovedo. Some further skirmi took place between the insurgents some troeps ofapalry in the y of the Government, and preparations were making on both sides for a general eng»gement the next da when Gen. Francisco Duque, who had taken the com mand of the government troops, proposed a parley, with ‘a view to spare the effusion of blood. Commissioners were appointed on each side.and the result ofthe delibe- \ rations was that Gen. Duque, with the officers and troops under his command, were allewed to retire with the honors of war, they pledging themselves to retire at once from Guadalajara,end the De which it is the capital, and procee immediately to the city of Mexico ea) a route to be designated for them. They were to be provided with necessaries for the march, and were aUowed till the morning of the 22d to make pre- paratious for departure. Gen. Duque and his officers ‘were compelled to pledge themselves that they would commit no actof hostility against the troops who had “ pronourrced,” nor ag the cause for which they had pronounced. The other terms of agreement aro un- important, but the insurgents yd al jon Jose Paria Yanez, styled in his proclamations “ Commander-in Chief of the Segond Division of the Re- publican Army,” w: of the insurrection.
