IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

The ship Adelaide, Adams, sailed from Havana on the 9th August, and arrived at New York on Thursday, by which we have the following news:

A special messenger from Vera Cruz came passenger in the steam packet to Havana, with letters to Santa Ana, informing him that the citizens and military of Vera Cruz had declared for him. Santa Ana, Almonte, and Rejon, immediately took passage in the British steamer Arab, and proceeded privately to Vera Cruz.

The city of Mexico had also declared in favor of Santa Ana. Large subscriptions were making by individuals to carry on the war. Gen. Paredes was to have left on the 29th ult. to head the army, and Gen. Bravo was to be President ad interim.

The garrison of St. Juan de Ulloa heartily participated in the revolution. One brigade of troops had left the city of Mexico for Matamoras, and two others were on the route to Camargo.

Paredes had issued a decree authorizing the Secretary of War to issue letters of marque against the commerce of the United States.

The Revolutionists adopted the plan of the pronunciamento of Guadalajara, with some additions.

On the 5th of July, in the night, Commodore Conner's ship, the Potomac, got aground at Green Isle. By heaving the guns overboard, she got off, and proceeded to Pensacola to be repaired.

There was no sickness in the American fleet. The Truxton and Perry were off Havana, but had no communication with the shore, as the yellow fever was prevailing on the island.

Generals Landero and Perez led the revolutionary movement; the troops of the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa, also adhered to the plan. The likeness of General Santa Ana was carried through the streets, causing great enthusiasm and rejoicing.

El Republicano has several columns of individual voluntary subscriptions, to aid in carrying on the war with the United States.

It is rumored in the city of Mexico, that the different heads of the departments, especially that of the Minister of War, are changing the clerks or secretaries of their respective departments every two or three days.

The reputation of the present secretaries of the different departments are now admitted, and Paredes delivers the views of Government to General Bravo.

Despatch to Gen. Tornel, Minister of War, from Paredes.

Marino Parades, General of Division and President of the Mexican Republic, to the inhabitants thereof:

Be it known, that the national extraordinary Congress has decreed, and the Executive sanctioned, the following articles:-

Art. 1. The government is authorised to vary or change the organization of the army, according as they may think most convenient.

Art. 2. To be able to name without any after approbation superior officers as a reward for distinguished actions in the present campaign.

Art. 3. As regards the estimates for the maintenance of the troops, at the same price, preference to be given to national productions.

Art. 4. That there be formed and granted Letters of Marque, to act against the commerce of the United States.

ANASTASIO BUSTAMANTE, President.

The antecedent decree was unanimously agreed to in the General Congress on the 20th July.

The government throws itself in the arms of the people to save the republic, and to preserve the independence of the nation and republican principles from being sacrificed by their Northern invaders. The government firmly believes the effort will be successful.

The troubles of the citizens of Mexico on the Rio Grande, are alluded to in the presses of the country, and with much apparent bitterness against the United States.

The citizens of Mexico are called on, in general terms, to rise en masse, and repel their invaders.

The government are sending with all despatch, extensive war-supplies of all descriptions to Monterey, to be at the disposal of the Commander in Chief.

Juan Nepomuceno de la Garza, to all the inhabitants of the department Nuevo Leon:-

It requires all those capable of bearing arms, from 18 to 50 years of age, to unite in the defence of that department, and of the national territory, invaded by the enemy's forces; for this purpose a report of the inhabitants of each town will be immediately made. This force is to be called the local militia force of Nuevo Leon. It is not only to defend the towns when invaded, but to march wherever required against the enemy. Its object being to defend, at any and every cost, the integrity of the national territory, invaded and occupied in part by the troops of the United States.

So far as we are able to discover, there appears to be a general relief from all internal commotion or expected revolution. Unanimity prevails among the citizens, in consequence of general desire to repel the forces of the United States.

A letter was received from the Governor of Nuevo Leon, that 6000 Americans had appeared in that department, under their second in command, and that he had informed the government he had ordered all the forces of that department to be sent against them.

Decree of Paredes, under date of the 10th July.-

Grants as ports of entry for foreign commerce, during the blockade of the Mexican ports by the navy of the United States. Tampico, Goatzacoalcos, Tobos Lamarina, and Tecoluta, in the Gulf, and Manzanillo, on the Pacific.—In these ports, provisionary officers are to be established for the benefit of merchants.

The Faro Industrial, of the 5th of August, says:—Besides the intelligence published yesterday, dates from Monterey of the 24th of June, state that the fortifications of that place progress rapidly; that martial law prevailed, as well as great enthusiasm against their invaders.
