BEMOVAL OF THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT—THB MIN- ISTERIAL CRISIS—RESIGNATION OF THE GOVER- NOR OF VERA CRUZ—GENERAL VIDAURR ON THY TEXAN RANGERS—AN EXPEDITION TO OPPOSE THEM—GENERAL COMONFORT DISAGREES WITT BIS COLLEAGUES—SANTA ANNA BEFORE THE PEOPLE. ‘The U.S. mail steamship Orizabs, Captain Forbes, ar- rived st New Orleans on the 11th inst., from Vera Cruz, which port she left on the 8th inst. She brought specie amounting to $201,961 87 on freight. ‘The following is a summary of the Mexican news:— General Alvares is still the Provisional President, and bas ‘xed upon the city of Thalpan as the seat of govern- neat, whither he has removed with the Cabinet. Tele. communication has been established between Place and “the ol me choice of Tha provist weems a Peiiaetion. ‘It te about 80 miles south-wost of the city ‘The wost important item of news is, the resignation of Melehoir Ocampo, the Minister ‘of Foreign Affairs, entire Cabinet, The cause of thia ministorial ‘we cannot learn from the papers ; but it is stated ‘@ new Cabinet has been formed, with Arrioja Degolls- do, and Arriaga at its head. ‘The salaries of all the employes of the government have ‘been recuced one-half ; and the expenses of the military establishment, which formerly amounted to about $2.- 000,000 per month, have been reduced to about $400,000. ‘These are looked upon as important reforms. General Don Ignacio de la Llave, the Governor of Vera Cruz, has temporarily withdrawn from his post, aud re- signed the reigns of government into the hands of Don Juan Soto. It became necessary for Senor Liave to sepa- rate bimself from his officis} duties, to attend to privat> at Orizabe. 2 General Alvarez has insued a decree, by which the go- sted by the lead- ere of the late revolut for tl Arp and - Ges the same, and provides for their payment. The devt thus contracted amounts to $1,800,000, and it is mot ‘papers whether this includes the debt con- tracted by Vidaurri in his operations on the frontior. in the city of Mexico, to the effect that General Vidaurri had sent a communication to | the government of the United Stetes, th the Mexican Minster at Washington, claimicg indemnity for viola- tion of lexican ter- Neorg he ved recent invasion of wf Capt. Callahan and his men, But the papers eay they are glad to be able to deny this rumor. They dave too mi confidence in Vidaurri’s patriotism to ne- lieve that he would be capable of acting thus upon his @wn responsibility. Various clubs have been formed in Mexico, baving.tee ‘their object to carry out the liberal ideas advanced by General Vidaurri, who seems at present to be the idol of all Mexico, General Videurri has sent to General Alvarez an official ‘dinpatch giving « brief account of his rencontre with the Texans under Captain Callahan, at Piedras Negras. He says thut in the action at thiv last named place the Americans were routed with the loss of forty men, their na equipage, horses, munitions, and many arms, which were leit on the road in the flight. The town of Piedras Negras was pillaged by therm—but seeing that th» jie had prepared themselves for this by removing all Talvalustien in their rage the invadera set the owa op fire. The booty taken at Piedras Negras by the filli- busters also fell into the hands of the tcoops under Vi- d@ourri. In another diepatch of a later date, Vidaurri advises General Alvarez that he had learned a 'cecond expedition of adventurers had started from San Antonio, Texas, on the 15th of October, for the same point om the Youndary Mneat which the first expedition crossed, who, it was said, were coming to avenge the shameful defeat of thy first party. This expedition, it was reported, numbered abeut five hundred wen. To meet these, he says that he has already one thousand men near Piedras Nogras, ant on'the 19th, a section of troops under hia orders, num- Dering five ‘bundred infantry, two hundred cavalry, and six pieces of artillery, had been dispatched for the sam point. On the following day he should send another force of one Lundred infantry and one hundred cavalry. withe 24 inch mortar, tothelr support. With this foree he considered that the frontier was safe, or at all events that it would cost an immense sacrifice of blood and treasure on the part of the filibusters to take it. In this communication from the frontier, Vidaurri eon- geatulaten Alvares upon the happy termtuation of th» revolution, and the establishment of a good government Bo denies ever having had any intention of establishing a Sierra Madre republic, and says he will be the last man boy Lgl ution of the Mexican Union. The ro- port in regard to his annexation tendencies ia a source @f no ttle smusement to bim. He calls heaven and all good citizens to witners that his only wish is to see his eountry great ard happy.

" in hia r tion a Minister ot 4 Commsnder In-Chief of the Army to General Alvares, states that he was compelled to resign, bocanss he could not agree with the Miuister of F Affates and other members‘of the Cabinet a to the polley to be pursued in the formation of the new government ‘The Revolucion, a paper of the city of Mexico, publishes adocument, which, it says, was sent to it for that pur , the first sentence of which affords a key to the en contents.

After the resignation of Melchior Geampo, the portfolio of the Minister of Relations was offered seanively to itlemen, all of whom declined the office. It was at accepted by Senor Arrioja. Don Poncians Ar be who has been appoiated Minister of the Interior, is op bis way from San Luis to enter upon the duties of his station, and Santos Degollada, Minister of Improvements left Guadalajara a few days ago with the same object. Consequently, before long, the Cabinet will be plete, but a new cricis may be shortly expected.

You are probably aware that the revolution commenc- ed by a propuncismento in the town of Jachitan, on the 7th of January last, and was ostensibly a political plan, having for its object tue overthrow of Santa Anua. The government party in Tehuantepec, seven leagass distant, instead of marching immediately against the insurgents, permitted some weeks to elapse, giving them time to or- ganize and collect contributions from the neighboring towns, and enabling them to take the field in something like a condition to contend against regular troops. ‘Some xix weeks after this movement, a force of five han- dred men, with one piece of artillery, under the command of the Prefect of Tehuantepec, Lieut, Col. Maximo R. Ortiz, were marched to Jachitan, and took possession of that place without any opposition, it having been almost en- tirely deserted by the inhabitants and armed force on hearing that the forces of Ortiz were approaching, On the third dey after bis arrival, Ortiz, not being able to obtain forage for hia horses or provisions for his nen, set out for Istaltepec, a large town two leagues ji :tant. He hed no sooner commenced his march than the Jav‘i- teooa commence! firing, a la guerilla, on his rear ganca. He had not proceeded more than a league when ho wax attacked on his right flank by aacther party of Ja:hi's- cos, who were returning from Istaltepec, where they hw been to order the Alcalde, under pain of death, nxt to furnish provisions to Ortiz and his command. Theaction resulted in the defeat of Ortiz, the complete rout of his forces, and the loss of some fifty killed and wounded, in cluding the officer of artillery, a young Carlist, who re- fared to leave his piece, preferring death to dishonor, This action, so disgraceful to the government, at once ve to the Jachitecos great prestiye, and showed that fbey had ttle to fear from the forces thea stationed in Tehuantepec. Another circumstance occurred which confirmed their character for prowess and valor, but which, if analyzed, ulted from the bad disposition of the commander of the troops, if not dowaright cowardice of himeeif and officers. This was the capitulation of Col. Herpandez, two months afterwards, to the Jachitecos at the town of San Juan de Guichécovi. + Hernandez left Minatitlan with # force of 160 regalara, well armed and equipped, and some ten thonsand dollars in money, to join the government troops in Tehuantepec. After the eeeaie Nae many of his wen deserted to the Jachitecos, while himself, officers and men returned to tl Paso de earabia, where they re-embarked for Minatitia: P ton. 4v also presented to the principal Jachite:o offi pis In head cane, and seemed t> consider Inimseit f june’ in being pormitied to leave wichout further mo- wernment, who from the first had constered this ion as trifling, and entirely local, now begin to eir attention to the tathmas, and shortly after Jespatched Gen. Torrejon, with a force of somo andred men, iucluding some sixty drag sors, to the seat of action. Torrejon remained @ month in Tehaan'‘e pee, attempting to negotiate with the revolutionists, bie finding that they were oaly deluding him, marc! Intaltepec. Here he remained, endeavoring to being hem to terms without an action. The Jachitec’ howey appeared on the opposite of the river a tew days after and commenced a sharp firing. Torrejon ordered ou! Ortia, with a force of three hundred men, who crossed the river, and an actign took place which might have besa called a government victory, as the revolutionista re tired af‘er firing » few shots. Ortiz, howerer hat one man killed and three wounded. On the tof the rere. lutionists, several, probably seven or t, were killed and wounded. Thus affairs remained for several when an armistice way entered into—the Ja bs cheots to deliver up their arma to the government, pro vided that Col. Maximo Ortiz was removed from the i’re fecture, and perpetually banished from the district of Tehuantepec. In the meantime Gen. Torrejon ordeced Ortia to Mexico to answer charges preferred against him asthe aut or and cause of the disturbances in this quarter. While both parties were awaiting the result of the decision, of the goverament, and hisfriends in Te huantepec anxious to know whether he would be sus- tained or sacrificed, news arrived of the abdication of Sante Anna and the pronunciamento of Mexico, The t once marched to Tehuantepec, where pronounced a day or two after in favor 0° things. The Jachiteos, about five han dred strong, marchea to Tehuantepec, and two weeks afterwards, ‘Torrejon having left for Onxaco, with about four hundred men, they took quiet possession of the Plaza, which they had twice attacked during the revo- lution without having been able to take. During all this time thi« portion of the Isthmus (fehu antepec) has been the scene of the wildest anarchy au! confution. Nearly all the towns have been plundored, and Tehuantepec below the plaza, and I may say with the exception of the main plaza and the barrio of San Se- bestian, han been sacked and plundered of everything ; acts of the most revelting character perpetrated by the atiacking party upon the poor and defenesless people i still occupied these portions where the undisciplined and abandoned xoldiery occupied. During this revolution » + quarter was given and po prisoners taken. You may juege of its horrors when I state that four sub-Prefe:ts ‘and two Alcaldes have been shot. The government party alone shot ten politicsl prisoners. Haciendas and ran chos bave been robbed of cattle, stores have been broken into and plundered, and peaceful villages, such as Jalaps sacked At least one hundred have perished in this in tentine strife, and the whole country is at this time ex- hausted. Although sflairs are now, of coucse, some- what quiet, it is only the quiet of the calm that precedes the whiriwind. The Teiwantepecancs are very {ndic nant at the government, and say they were sold to th» Jachitecos by Tourajon It is impossible that they should be otherwise after having suffered so mach fr the Jachitecos during the last six months and while they continue to occupy Tehuantepec with an armed force. ‘The Ming character in tris Juchiteco war, and wh» now is in command of the forces at Tehuantepec, is « riest by the name of Lopes. His proslamations are eaded, “The Preabyter, Don Miguel Lopez, comman’ vas formerly chay ing the federal forees, 6.4” an Iain to the battalion “active of Tehusntepee.”” In my next T will give you a aketch of the oceurreaces on th northera or Gulf side of the istumus.

To Arkan sas they proceeded with the utmost despatch, where thy nuptial ce: was duly performed, On the return of the parties homeward, they were m» by a brother of the bride, James T.

Arriving at the house of Mrs. D., they demanded the person of Clement. Amidst such a warlike display Mra.

OUR RICHMOND CORRBSPONDENCR, Rroumonp, Va., Nov. 19, 1855. Movement for the Literation of Treand—Its Aspect in the South—Postion of the Cathovic Clergy im the Matter—The Feding in Regard to the Warlike Tone of the English Press, de., de. Slightly as the present movement in this country for the Uberation of Ireland seema to be regarded, it is un- questionsb!y assuming an aspect which to my mind is truly indicative of a purpose to carry out the plan pro posed. The project 1s favorably viewed by the friends of Ireland ip the South. In this city alone an organization comp ising from three to four hundred, is on foot, and Thave ascertained that before 4 month from this time it will increase to double that number. The operations are conducted in secret—the taking of an oath being, as I believe, an indispensable qualification to membership. ‘This is regarded as objectionable by many influential persons who sympathise with the movement; but that feature will probably be dispensed with after the organi- zation is perfect and, in view of the advantages to be de- rived from the accession of the influential but scrupulous friends of the cause. 1 am informed, upon umquestionadle authority, thet organizations for the same purpore are being formed in every part of Virginia, and, in fact, the South, wherever the proper material is known to exist. lean say with perfect confidence that no object of « political character having reference to the election of '56 is contemplated, a+ was supposed in the beginning. On the contrary, from wbat I can learn, a positive prohibition is enjoined against the introduction or discussion of any question bearing remotely upon politics or religion. Knowing that ail previous movements tending toa similar object were defeated by divisions, arising from either of there sources, they are particularly cautious to avoid a re- currence of a like disaster in this instance. ‘The recent tone of the English press has given an im petus to the movement which no appeal, however patriotic, could produce. Before the sentiments of these papers became known, I doubt if it had a ningle adherent south of Mason and Dixon’s line. And if the influential reas of this country had centinued to observe that in- difference regarding it which they manifested from its insception, it would have died a natural death. 1 kncw enough of the feelings of the friends of Irelaad in the South, to justify the conclusion that hero, at least, it would have gained no foothold, #0 long as the agency for its promotion was limited to ‘the Irisu American or- gans in this country, The discussion of this question in the press of England, and the comments in the press here, which necessarily followed, has done more to. pro mote the cause than could have been effected by # sheets as the Citizen and Irish American ina year. No matter though their comments were adverse to the move ment, prominence and notoriety has been given to it, and an enthusiasm created which ‘is now operating advan tageouely for ita suecess, ao far, atleast, ax the acceasion of large numbers can eilvct it, When the London Times referred to this subject, i must have had very exaggerated ideas of the extent ot this movement. Ai the date when the information whiter forms the groundwork of its speculations was furnished, there was little or no cause of alarm, — bal when it sball have procured correct information a to the magmitude of the movement as it now exists, there is reason to suppose that iv fears will materially increase. The bullying astitude of tha paper has in no small degree tended to promote tie successful progress of this enterprise, ax developed each day in the rapid spread of the organization. Le. it ba continue ite threats and bombest for a short time loager and it will have done more to forward the movement in favor of Ireland, than any efforts that could be made on this side of the Atlantic. It anything could render « movement popalar in the South it is the opposition of the London Jimea—the open and avowed enemy «i Southern {nstitutions and the Union. All it says regard ing the sinister influences of » disruption between Ruy lund and the United States upon the existing relations be tween North and South, they look upon as mere cant or gammon. 1 am informed that the Catholi; clergy are resolved t» ure their influence in oppoettion to this movement, un lesa the secrecy feature ix abolished. I am disponed to think that their efforts will avail nothing, so strong | the determination to carry out the object of this eute prise, If they persist in thei oppontion, the interests »! the Church will suffer. Some say the leaders have a gua rantee that no vigorous efforts will be employed to defest the mévement, the lish vote oeing pledged as an equi valent for hamunity. It ds certain tat the scheme i+ proceeding here and els where upon the presumptiva that no extra zeal wil be employed by the adininistratio \ to defeat it, There can be go deubt but that the action of the Cabinet in this matter will regulate, to a consider able extent, the state of the voting at the next Presiden- tial election. Ifthe enterprise fails through the instr: mentality of the government, the interests of the party will be tnaterially compromised, #0 far, at least, ax the eetrangersent of the Irish vote can aifect It. The leade in the movement will, no doubt, avail themselves of th election crisis and the good dpportunkty, whieh 1 wil afford to press on the scheme with as much vigor as pos sible This would be a tavora se opportanlty for th Know Nothings to step in and bid, If any assurance could be had frem them that at beart no extra ze would be employed to mar the purposes of this move ment, they would unquestionably gaim a large comtingen* of the Irish vote; for, with many 0” that class the deri to be revenged on England, and the liberation of taeir n» tive country is paramount to any consideration of the email disadvantages which the ascendaney of that party might entail. here can be no long+r any doubt as to the serious and formidable aspect whicg this movement is assuming — | is rapidly spreading in the South, wud [an eaticited frown what I can learn, that every town throughout the coun try, where materia! enough exists, will have an organtz: tida before two months from this tine. st week or tw past hax developed more of the true and serious chara ter of this movement than was manifested from ita or gin, Money ts being literally subweribed, arma brugh up, and drill practiced with a zeal wh'ch it would. b« deemed toadness in any ome to have anticipated three months 9go. ‘The friends of Wise are sanguine in regard to hie nomi nation for the next Preedency, They ev without eerfous fears, the strange passion recently manifested for letter writing.
