SURRENDER OF MAZATLAN AND GUAYMAS: Items from the Interior. AFFAIRS AT CHIAPAS, ke, be. be. ‘The correspdndent of the New Orleans Picayune, un- der date of November 19, rays :—Something like a re- volt has taken place at Chiapas, for the purpose, 1: ts taid. of annexing that State to Central America ‘The Governor bad sent one of the ehief wuthorities of the place to be tried at Tabaseo, a8 being e conspirator in the movement, and had ivened orders for him not to re. turn to Chiapas again ‘The President of the Republic having been informed of this proceeding, instructs the Minister rf Relations to say that the Governor of Chia- pas haa no right to provent the man returning if acquit ted, He alto thinks there is no ocoasion to apprehend srovolution in that State This is not the first time that a revolution bas been threatened in Chiapas. She was formerly ove of the Statew of Central America, was ine uded withia the territory of Mexico when the latter declared her independence, and many of the inhabitants appear to entertain affectionate remembrance of her former relations, and a desire to return to them. A-correspondent of Ef Monitor, writing from Quere- taro, says that the greater part of the governors of the different States were present at the reat of goverament, end that, with one exceptiea, (the Governor of San Luis) they were unanimously in favor of pants The versions were soon to commence, and President Anaya proposes that no line of policy on the subject should be followed except such as the States suggest, in order to get at once at the national will. Gen, Bustamente has been nominated by the supreme government gencrsl-in-chiet of the army of reserve, and commandant general of the State. His predecessor, Gu- Uerrez, 48 secoud ia command, and Gortase next. El Monitor of tod commenting upon the an- Bouncement of Santa Aona, that he had placed himself at th» bead of an armed force for the purpose of pre- ‘Yeating any negotiations for peace while the Americans occupied Mexican territory, discredits the statement end says that he (Santa Anna) opened the door for ne- gotiation himself, aud that if he opposes Congress in the consummation of peace, he will pulling down with one hand what he had constructed with the other Rumours were current in the city of Mexico that the partizans of Santa Anna bad withdrawn from Congress ‘in compliance with the instructions of their chief for th» purpose of forcing that body to dissolve, not having S quorum. ‘These partisans of Santa Anna all belong to the Puro party, and are for war to the knife. All the Puros, however, are not Santz Anna men, and there ure some persons here who assert that the reason they oppose the peace propositions is that they desire to keep the American army in the country until they can establish the Government upon a firm basis. In fact I have been told that many of the Puro Deputies have written to their friends here, stating that was their only reason for opposing a treaty of peace. £HE PROPOSITIONS BEPORE THE MEXICAN CON- GRES#, ‘The same correspondent, under date of the 16th No- vember, says:—“Three propositionshave been passed to a firet reading in Congress—tho firef, that im the event of the oy of Queretaro being threatened with an inva- sion by the Amerioan army. the Congress shall be re- moved to the city of Aguascalientes; second, that the government shall listen to no propositions of peace 80 Jong as the invading forces do not evacuate the national territory whieh they oceupy, and cease to blockade the ports of the republic; third, the same government, un- der ita strictest responsibility, sball dictate such mea- sures and projects as will be sufficienton its part to carry on the war ”? Senor Perdivon, one of Santa Anna’s most violent Partizans. called for @ secret session, to enable him to brin, arge of high treason against the Minister of War, Mora, El Munitor publishes orders from Rosa, L@dresred to the secretaries of Congress, requesting them to give all possible prefarence to this suiject, as th houor and iaterest of the nation demanded that the minister should be punished, if guilty, or tite calumni tor held up to infamy, if he is innocent. Perdigon a cuses Mora of collusion with General Scott, to surrender the country to the Americans, APFAIRS AT THE C, In his letter of the 10th ult. he a Yesterday being Sunday, | rode out to the Passeo Neuvo, and was agree- ably surpr sed to nee the large number of ladies present. ‘The Passeo was thronged with oarriages, private and public, eech of which contained two or three lovely s0- noritas The fair damsels are fast losing their fear of tae barbarians of the North ” About one half the of- ficers of our army were also there, most of them mounted on their eplendid American cbargers, among whom | noticed Generals Worth and Pierce. To-day Capt. Sanderson, of the mounted rifles, dis- ‘covered the whole apparatus and machinery which had been used in casting cannen near Moliuo del Rey. They bave been sought after a great deal, and their diecovery refleots a great deal of credit onthe gallant Captain. ‘This »fcernoon, about five o'clock, a greaser was whip- ped in the plaza He had attempted to kill one of our soldiers, and was sentenced to receive one hundred lushes—twenty-five on every Monday for a month Nearly ten thousand Mexicans were in the plaza, and as soon as the whipping commenced, they began to throw stones About a dozen of our dragoons, however, charged upon the mob, when they dispersed in all direo- tious. The greaser was then whipped and taken back to the guard house. : ‘There were one or two rows last night, which resulted in the death of one or two soldiers and some thirteen or fourteen Mexicans. ‘The correspendont at the capital, under date of Nov. 23d, saye: There hus been a rumor in town for several days past, that the partizans of Santa Anna had with- drawn from Congress, in compliance with the instruc- tions of their obief, for the purpose of forcing that body to dissolve, not having quorum. Their ostensible rea- ron is that they were envaged at the non-success of Compiido in reaching the Presidency. This ramor has been gaining strength, and the Monitor of this morning refers to it sé being true, and threatens to publish the ramen of the seceders, some of Whom, it says, are now actually in this city. hear, also, from a private source, that as soon ae Anays found out their object, he ex- pact his determination to arrest the delinquent mem ars aod compel them to attend to their duties, in con- sequence of which some of them left Queretaro in a hurry These partizane of Santa Avnaall belong to the puro party, and are for war to the knife, A subsequent letter, dated the 26:h says :—Advicen wersrecelved to-day from Queretaro to the 23d inst. The puros were making » great deel of trouble, and charging the government with making & secret armistice with Gen, Scott. The Minister of Foreign Relations stated that he had received a note from Mr. Trist, which was answered in the same manner that the Minister of Santa Anna answered the note of the American Commissioner before the late armistice, The puros were looking to Savta Anva for aid in ancther revolution They were also expecting the arrival of the American troops at Queretaro, notwithstanding the pretended armistice be- tween Rosa and Gen. Scott. The Governors were in session and in conference with the Ministers. Some ex- citement was occasioned by ene of the Governors, whose name is not given, making public the private delibera- tions and secrete of the Council He is raid to be a partizan of Santa Anna, whose finger is to be plainly seen inthis ‘The sacrament of the floly Ghost has been administered to General Herrera, from which I would infer that there is no hope of his recovery. ‘IME TROUBLE IN CAMP. ‘The difficulty among prominent officers of our arm sppeats to have been quite as seriousas was represente We publish bere the orders of Gen, Scott. reflectin upon the eflicers who were suid to be under arr: ‘They betray no little temper—perhaps we would say, averbity of tamper :— GYNERAL ORDERS—NO, 3, Wan Derantoteyt.

G, The letters alluded to by Gen. Scott as “the echoor from home,” are evidently tha “Leonidas” letter, and the other a letter which appeared first in the Pittsburgh Post, was thence transferred to the Union, whence we copied | St on the 8th Ootober, with some introductory remarks, andthe whole then appeared in a Tampico paper — When Gen Scott's orders were published, Lieut. Col Duncan oame out promptly in the North American with the following frank avowal of hia connection with the Tampico letter, so called. According to the North Ame- rican the Tampico letter was compiled from two letters written by officers of the army in Mexico, to a brother officer in Pittsburgh, for hiseye alone. But read what Col, Duncan has tonay to it :— Mexico, Nov. 13, 1847. To the Editor of the North Am:rica with present copy of the “Tampico le terized as andalous,”” * despicable.” rt 5 &o., in general orders No 349, published in the .4meri- can Star of this morning. ‘To the end that the true character of this letter may be known, | desire that you republish it ta your paper, and that none of my brothec offlcera may innocently suffer for a publication so obnoxieus,! hereby publicly acknowledge myself to be its author. The substance of it l communicated from Tacubaya, soon after the battles, in a private letter to a friend in Pitteburg. ‘The statements in the letter are known by very many officers of this army to be true, and I can but think that the publication of truth is less likely to do violence to individua's or the eervice, than the suppression or per- rsion of it. ustice to Gen. Worth (who is evidently one of the heroes’? pointed at in order No, 349) requires me to sete that’ be Anew nothing whatever of my purpose to write the letter in question, nor that it had been writ- ten, till well on its way to its destination; he never saw, nor did ho know, direotly or indirectly, even the purport of one line, word, or syllable of it, Lill he saw it ip print, end he is equally ignorant of my design to make this declaration, which I do, asl wrote the letter, un- prompted, amd on my own responsiblity. po Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES DUNCAN, Brevet Lieutenant Colonel U. 8, A. After the publication of this letter, Col. Duncan was placed under arrest. and subsequently Gen. Pillow was arrested, and next Gen Worth. The North American is of opinion that Gen. Pillow was not arrested on ac- count of the “ Leonidas” letter, but on the following grounds ;— There has been another arrest, that of Gen. Pillow, one of the chiefs aforenamed, but not, as appears, on account of the letters of which he is t! ero, We hear generally that the cause was this: -Gen. Pillow having taken exceptions to the finding of a court of in- quiry, which finding has been approved by Gen. Scott, addressed a paper relating to it to the Seoretary of War, through the commander-in-chief, preserving a copy, which he avowed, in a letter accompanying, he had sent, or would send, directly to the secretary at Wash- ington. This traasaction is judged to bea contempt, and for the so judged contempt Gen. Pillow is arrested. Not understanding tho technicalities of the case, we are not advised whether pert of or the whole transaction is regarded as the contempt; but that is immaterial. Gen, Worth’s arrest is thus noticed in the Norrh Ame- rican of the 26ch ult. :— ‘The last arrest occurred yesterday, that of Brevet Major Gen. Worth, and the charge is, we believe, con- tempt towards the commander-in chief. Withouta full knowledge of tao facts, we do not purpose to lengthen this article by any remarks upon this proceeding We shall have more to say on this grave subject another day. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GEN. SCOTT AND THE ARCH-BISHOP OF MEXICO. The correspondence between Gen. Scott and the Archbishop of Mexico, on the subject of the release of the Mexican prisoners, is very interesting. ‘The latter asks the favor of their liberation on the ground that their families are suffering in consequence of their con- floement. 8 the affection and respect which Gen. Seott has shown to the holy church, of which he is the head in this eity, emboldens him to make this request, end instan the liberation of the French prisoners by Abdel Kader, through the mediation of the Archbishop of Argel. Th eral replied at some length, citing the cases of the prisoners taken at Vera Cruz and Cerro Gorde. who were liberated on their parole, and had afterwards takenup arms against the Americans; that while at Puebla he asked the liberation of che American prisoners taken on the M§o Grande, who were to have been ex- changed by ment between Santa Anna and Gen. Taylor, but tl evasive reply having been re- nother communication was sent on the 29:h of July, the only reponse to which was found in the palace after Gen, Scott had entered the city, folded, sealed and directed to him under date of August. Gen. Scott con- cludes by saying that if the archbishop will have the goodness to appoint some dignitary of the church to visit these men, and explain to them that prisoners of war under their le, are always shot if found fighting against the same belligerent before being duly exchanged; aud that if this dignitary gives also » solema admoni- tion of the church egainst the violation cf their oaths, he will give them their liberty under his sacred authority ‘The archbishop, in a subsequent personal interview with the commander-in-chief, cited to Lim the deoree of tne Mexican government, which probibited all Mex- icans fcom giving their paroles not to fight against the Awericans, and the responsibility he would incur if the supreme government should disapprove the step, and thus the mutter stands at present. REVOLUTION AT OAJACA. There has been « successful revolution at Osjaca. The object of it was to put down the present State govern- ment, end reinstate the one put outin February last After six or seven hours’ fighting, the authorities yleld- ed tothe insurgents, surrendered the government into their hands, and tranquillity was restored. Among the kitled was Don N. Caroallo,a yousg Mexican officer who distinguished himself at the battle of Molino del Rey, AN EMEUTE AT GUANAJUAIO. There has been an emeute of a serious nature in Gui Najuaco. [u the village of Silao, on the 7th, the troops ot Governor Arrellano arrested two priests, who were endeavoring to get up a pronunciemento in fayor ot placing Genetal Bustamente at the head of the ariy, of continuing ¢he war until the invad:rs were extermi- nated,and of declaring avy mun a traitor who should en- tertain any proposition of peace with the United states. The people resisted the arrest, and # fight ensued which resulted in six of the citizens being killed And fifteen or sixteen wounded. The soldiers finally succeeded in bringing the priests, tied, into Guanajaato. The peo ple werein agrent state of excitement, and ories of “ death to the governor,” were heard on ail sides.

They afford quite the best. ere. tive wo have sron of prominent events at Jalapa, and of the policy which General Patterson is pursuing towards Mexican guerillas and the thy landed proprietors jal ‘#pondence of the Picayune. } Javara, Nov 20, 1847 —We ha jad quite « windfall here this evening. Last evening, about 4 oclook, Col 68 Wynkoop, at the head of a company of Texan Ran, a left towa in quest of a certain Veutensat colonel, bo 8 at the head of guerilla forces. No one here, except at hoadquarters, knew any thing about the objuct of the expedition until a few moments since, when the inde- fatigable colonel returned, after a ride of sixty miles, and brought with him Lieut Col. Juan Clemacho Re. voliedo, with Capt , Second Adjutant Garcia, Second Lieut. Aleada, and four guerillas , than prob: guilty of a shot. As for the soldiers, some of them are in the asme situation. The more we learn of the character of Lieut Col. Juan Clemacho Rebolledo,the captive guerilla chief, the more important appears his capture. The papers that were found in his trunk contain correspondence between him and many citizens avd officers of note — There are several letters from Senta Anna, which show that Rebolledo is aman of some consequence in the es timation of the Mextean government JaLara, Nov. 23, 1847 —The wagon-master Meeks, and teamstor Dennis, were hung to-day, in the large plaza, at 12 o’lock, for the inhumeh murder of the Mexican boy. About 3,000 of Gen. Patterson's command were drawn up to witness the execution, and there must hot write them, or specially procure them to be written, ond the intelligent omn be at no loss in ar} *oshors —ohh Partisans, and et fastens Te the have been at least 4a equal number of Mexicans present, Meoke addressed the spectators after the rope was placed around bis neck, warning them to abetaln from shed- blood ashe bad done it, and lamenting that he | could not have met a different death. His remarks were sensible. He threw himself upon the mrroy of God, aud was praying aloud when the drop fell. Dennis made no reaark. They were attended by a Mexican priest and | Literpreter, This morning two of the guerilla officers who | | Wire teken prisoners by that indefatigable offlcer, Col. | Wynkcop, were tried by the military commission, now 1m #as'on, found guilty, and sentenced to b+ shot ‘They Were socused (aud confessed {t) of having violated their | parole of honor, by taking up arms againet the United States, in the guerilla service They will be shot to- morrow, at noon. Their names are Adjutant Antonio Gi , and Lieut, Ambrosia Alcalde. They received their sentence with considerable firmness. Col. Rebol- ledo and the captain will be taken to Perote and con- fined until it can be ascertained from headquat ther they were paroled and exchanged or not. They are both fine looking men. The golonel is a noble look- jag man, and the oitizeus and toreigaers here say he hi never been cruel ia his warfare against us, Som think differently. NING, —Gen, Patterson and Col.

If my memory serves me aright, the guerillas have not been distinguished for acts of mercy in this respect When they “took to the road,” they hoisted the black flag, and faithfully have they reapected this gloomy emblem of death without mercy. ‘That officers of the regular Mexican army who had been made prisoners of war, and released on their pa- role of honor not to take up arms against us again dur- ing the war, should violate that sacred pledge and join this murderous band, and then complain at so juat a sentence as that passed upon these two, is astonishing, even in this nation of liars. Gov Hughes, who con- ned the military commission which tried the Ameri- who were hung to day, as wellas the two Mexicans who will die to-morrow, and who approved the sentence in both cases, performed nis duty, and nothing more or less; and Gen. is duty too well to #a- crifige justice and the discipline of his command to feel- ings of compassion.

Some excitement had been caused by the discovery of the abduction of @ young and lovely girl by one of ‘the reverend fathers of theshurch ‘he afilicted mother applied to the governor for redress, and the fugitives were immediately pursued, but as yet without result. This appears (o be the recond escapade of a similar ne- ture that the reverend father has been guilty of. THEATRICALS IN MEXIOC.

Letters have been reosired in town from Tampico as late as the 7th of December, from highly respectable houser, conveying the information that the ports of ) zatian and Guaymas ere in the possession of the Amer- ieun naval forces, We trust the cocupation of every other considerable port on the Pacific will soon follow. Since.the above was in type, we have confirmation of the news by letters and papers from the city of Mexico Our correspondent mentions the occupation of both ports, and as to one of them we find the followiag in the imerican Star:-- We stated, ina recent paragraph, that soveral ships of the American navy had entered the port of Guaymar and demauded a surrender of the place, By late ad- vices we learn that on the 20th ult. the place surrender- ed to the naval force under Lavallette, commanding the naval force of the United Stutes and the port is now in possession of the Americans The frigates under his command were the Portemouth and the Congress, which fired upon :the place for about an {hour The terms to which tbe placw was subjected are very much like those granted in other places occupied by our forces, and we need not give the erticles at length. W A. Robinson had been appointed collector of the customs, and the dation were as follows: — “ The duties of iuportation, until otherwise ordersd, will be five per cant per_ton.and ten per cent ad valcrem the value in port to be determined by persons appointed for that purpose,” Until quarters shall be provided for the troops who were to garrison the place, the United States fl.g would be hoisted in some point in the bay from the U. $ frigate Dongress, The Picayune, of the 19th, publishes a deoree by the State of Tamaulipas, declaring that Gan.

The Picayune says:—* We learn ‘com an authentic source, that immediately upon the yublication of this proclamation, there sppeared armed parties on the road leading to Victoria, to Marina and ‘Tuls, to estatlish custom houses at 69 and 80 miles dis tant, at which a duty of 15 per cent was to be collected of all traders coming from ‘Tampico with go ds and mer cbandise, and this tax or duty uppeazs to be acceptable to the Mexicans and foreign people in Tampico.
