VERY IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO

The New Orleans Bee of Aug. 22, received last evening, contains the following important intelligence from Mexico:

By an arrival from Vera Cruz on Saturday evening last, we have been furnished with our files of the Diario del Goberno of Mexico, to the 30th July, inclusively.

As we predicted, domestic commotions have begun and are now agitating that republic. The liberal party or federalists (i. e. those opposed to centralism) are making rapid advances: they have made a bold attempt to abolish the present order of things and restore the government to its former features; but whether their force was insufficient to obtain the success they calculated upon, or whether the government anticipated their design and frustrated them by timely organization, we cannot tell; however, they were completely routed at Etla in the engagement which took place between 900 government troops under the command of Gen Causlazo, and 600 federalists, commanded by Col. Miguel Acevado.

From Cenalizo an official dispatch or bulletin appears in the Diario of the 24th—which states that the federal party had 100 men killed, 228 taken prisoners, among the latter is Acevedo chief of the revolutionists, Andreas Casteneda brevet commandant of the battallion, at Ramirez commanding the company of Tacacci and a foreigner named Laprelladi, captain of artillery. The remainder of their force were entirely routed. The loss on the part of the government was 3 killed and 6 wounded.

The day succeeding this engagement, Acevedo Castineda, Ramirez and Lapilladi were shot; a council of war had been held upon the other officers but the result has not yet transpired.

The commandant of artillery of the federal troops succeeded in making his escape from Etla, and has arrived in this city. He informs us that the greatest agitation prevails in the interior of Mexico, occasioned by the revolutionary movement of Oajaca; disturbances are hourly anticipated.

The Mexican fleet consisting of the brig Fama and the schooner Bravo, were at Vera Cruz on the 9th.— They were preparing to make a cruise.

Voluntary donations continue to be made throughout the States to carry on the Texian war, but the sum subscribed by nine or ten thousand individuals only amounts to about $600.

Seditious pamphlets are circulating in the capital, attacking the ministry in the most violent manner.

A great many arrests have been made.

At San Felipi (Guanajato) a Lieutenant Colonel of the name of Gonzalaz made efforts to excite the patriots there to revolt, but not completely succeeding, he decamped for Zacatecas, where a party of troops have succeeded in making prisoners of Zarcet cas and 22 individuals.

An obituary of the late General Arrago, brother of the celebrated Gen. Arrago, the astronomer, appears in the Diario of the 17th. Mr. Arrago had succeeded in winning the esteem and regard of the whole Mexican nation although he was a stranger, and of course like all strangers liable to their suspicions. He arrived at Sota de Marina in 1816 with a division consisting of 250 men and there fought for Mexican Independence under the flag of Gen. Mina.
