Further, from Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10. Private letters from the city of Mexico are said to represent revolutionary movements spreading rapidly, and that in Guadalajara they presented a most formidable aspect.

A Congress had been summoned, to be composed of two deputies from each State, whose duty it would be to elect a President ad interim, and also bring about a reform in the constitution.

General Santa Anna had been called upon, but by whom is not said, to resume the reins of government, as the man best suited to the emergency. Gen. Uraga had also been invited to head the movement to bring about his return; but his arrest had been ordered by the government.

The legislature of the State of Guadalajara had met to adopt measures as to the best course to be pursued.

Nothing new had transpired concerning the Tehuantepec treaty. Ramirez was preparing a document on the subject for publication.

The revolutionary movements in all parts of the country continue, and it is reported that the government troops were about to join the insurgents, which was not unlikely, as all confidence seems lost, and no change, it is thought, can be for the worse.
