LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
UNITED STATES.-MEXICO,

The Ivanhoe, Captain Edwards, arrived at Liver-
pool yesterday, from New York, after a rapid run of
seventeen days. She brings dates from New York to
the 9th inst., five days later than those furnished by
the last arrival, but very little news.
The Washington steamer, from Southampton, had
not reached New York, so it was impoaiible she could
leave on her return voyage on the 11th inst.
The Genius of Liberty had received files from the
city of Mexico to the 7th ult., at which time the most
profound tranquillity was said to reign in the capital.
As soon as the new government had been organised
the fact was officially announced to the representa-
tives of friendly nations. Her Britannic Majesty's
minister at once replied (says a supplement
to the Diario), in terms most satisfactory and honour-
able for their excellencies the President and the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs. The Mexican government
met, according to appointment, at Queretaro, on the
sth, but, there not being a quorum present, nothing
was done. Peace is said to be as far off as ever, the
feelings of the people being most strenuously opposed
to any compromise with the United States. In fact,
the hostility which existed against them in the
interior towns, cities, and villages was re-
ported to be of the moat bitter kind. The decree
appoint's f Pena-y-Pena president had been revoked,
and Santa Anna was again elected President. General
Paredes was at Tulancingo, endeavouring to establish
a monarchy, and making important converts. General
Valencia was quiet at his hacienda. General Bravo
was on his parole at the capital.
With respect to actual hostilities the accounts are
diverse, as usual. According to one statement, some
skirmishing had taken place between a force of 2,000
men under Santa Anna, and General Lane's American
command, at a town called Iluamantico, half-way on
the road between Perote and Puebla. The Mexican
force fall upon the rear of the retiring Americans
and cut of 90 men, of whom 70 were killed.
The roads were infested with guerillas, with
whom encounters were daily taking place
by the marching detachments. On the other
hand, we find it announced, that accounts had been
received :from Guatemala, stating that Santa Anna
being at that place, General Lane entered so suddenly
that Santa Anna barely escaped. The Americans
captured General La Vega, and took several pieces of
cannon. Santa Anna, at Guatemala, had 1,000 horse,
and was soon reinforced by General Regis with 1,500
men. Both remained near till Gen. Lane defeated them
again, and followed them ap, killing 70, and taking
20 prisoners. General Rea had left Puebla with a
large force, for the purpose of ratting off the United,
States troops under General Lane, who were advancing
to reinforce General Scott at the capital.
The domestic news from the United States is un-
important.
The question of the presidency begins to be much
discussed. Who the favoured chief is to be no one,
however, hazards even the remotest " guess." Neither
of the two parties into which the States politicians
are divided—the whig and democratic—appear to
have any especial favourite. The democrats arc
much divided m all the principal states of the union.
No unity of purpose seems to animate their ranks.
Buchanan ie spoken of am a candidate in one section,
Woodbury in another, Cass in another, but Polk by no
one. General Taylor, who bat a few months ago was
a prominent candidate, is now almost forgotten in the
Tieing fortunes of General Scott. Van Buren has ad-
dressed a letter from Lindenwald to a Pennsylvania
editor, declining a nomination as democratic candi-
date, so that this powerful opponent to any less emi-
nent aspirant is withdrawn.
Important despatches sent to General Taylor
contained orders from the cabinet to hold in
check any parties making warlike demon-
strations
in the northern provinces of Mexico,
and that reinforcements will be despatched to'
that district. The Washington Union of Nov. 71
nays that the adjatant-geheral has received a letter
from General Taylor, asking leave of absence for six
months, as his services at present were not wanted. '
General Taylor expresses a desire to arrive at New '
Orleans on the Ist of December. In the meantime,
be will come to Matamoros and wait an answer. The
Union says that leave of absence was granted.
Has the leave thus craved by the gallant general
any reference to the forthcoming presidential elec-
tion ?
At New Orleans (the dates from which city are to
Nov. 1), the yellow fever was raging fearfully.
A court-martial at Washington, which occupied
several days and much public attention, had not ter-
minated when the Ivanhoe left. It is on Lieu-
tenant Colonel Fremont, and the cirensosiances which
gave rise to it are thus stated :

The marbly presented little change since the I
