IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

Intelligence has been received at New Orleans that
Santa Ana leas been superseded in the Mexican Presiden-
tial Chair by General Bravo. The New Orleans Bulletin
of the 18th says—

" We were put in possession of this unexpected piece of
intelligence yesterday, by Captain Cottrell, of the schooner
Essex, from Matamoras, which port he left on the 10th
inst. That the present Mexican rulcrs are capable of
effecting many strange deeds, we are always prepared to
believe ; but that Bravo, with infinitely less talents and
celebrity, should be elected or chosen for a situation of
which it appears his master was deemed unworthy, is a
matter that seems to require more confirmation. The
Essex's manifest, shorn to us by Captain Cottrell, bears
an endorsement to this effect :---‘ On the 7th instant an
express courier arrived here from Mexico, stating that
Santa Ana was driven from the PreAdential Chair, and
General Bravo elected to fill the vacancy.'"
Of the correctness of this statement Captain Cottrell
entertained no suspicion ; and when we take into conside-
ration the well known fact, that the present races of Mexi-
cans hardly recognize any principle of action but the
tumultuous incentives of unbridled licentiousness, the news
may not wear so apocryphal a feature.
Ga,nerals Lemus and Canalize arc negotiating about
making peace. The former is encamped at Montery, and
the latter at Santillo. Bustamente is yet in Tampico.
Matamoras we need not say, is still in the possession of
the Government, the rumour of its being captured by the
Federalists turns out to have been without foundation.
The n.ost remote idea is not entertained of attacking
cx a s.

Madrid Journals of the 7th have been received, but
they are destitute of political news. The Ist of Sep.
tember is fixed for the opening of the Cortes.

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals
of Wednesday. All the news contained in them—
domestic or foreign—will be found in the following
extracts :

The King came to town yesterday, at twelve o'clock,
and held a Council of Ministers before going to the
Tuileries, Marshal Soult had a conference of two hours
with the Austrian Ambassador, who went on foot to the
hotel, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Coun-
cil sat till half.paa three; but it was nearly six o'clock
before his Majesty, who held a long conference with
General Scbastiani, set out on his return to St. Cloud.—
Commerce. _ _

We have announced from a telegraphic dispatch the
arrival at Brest of the Nereide frigate, with Admiral
Baudin on board ; but the frigate, having lost three men
si,,ce its departure from Pensacola, must perform two or
three days quarantine.
, In announcing the arrival of the Nereide, in honour of
which Admiral Grivel fired a salute, the Armorirain
publishes an explanatory note on the conduct of Admiral
Baudiu, which we may have occasion to examine, but
from which we extract at present the following facts

•• If we are well informed, additional conventions con-
cluded between our Admiral and the Mexican Plenipoten-
tiaries, at the same time with the Treaty of Vera Cruz,
regulate, to the advantage of France, besides the treaties,
several important points, which it was not thought proper
to make the subject of a public document. The object of
these conventions is:—

" 1. To determine the portion of the artillery of the
fortress of St. Juan d'Ullon, to be retained by France as a
trophy of the war with Mexico.
" 2. To leave to his Majesty the King of the French the
choice of the third Power, to which shall be referred the
decision of the question relative to the indemnities in favour
of our countrymen who have suffered by the law of ex-
pulsion.
"3. To stipulate immediate indemnities for those of our
said countrymen on whose persons acts of violence have
been committed by the Mexicans since the commencement
of hostilities. _ _ .

" 4. To regulate the composition of the mixed Commis-
sions in favour of Frenchmen, Mexicans, and foreigners,
who shall have to decide on the amount of the indemnities
claimed.

"5. To secure to France the satisfaction which it has
demanded, by the dismissal of certain officers both civil and
military, of whom our countrymen have had particular cause
to complain."
Thus we have another singularity to add to all those
which have already occurred in this affair, in this semi-offi-
cial publication made at Brest, of conventions supplementary
to the treaty, while the treaty itself, the ratification of which
was announced several days ago, is still withheld from the
public.—Le Commerce.
" A rumour is in circulation that Hafiz Pacha has been
assassinated, and that on his death the army completely
dispersed ; but as this news has only been derived from
hearsay, it requires confirmation. The Envoys sent by the
Sultan to Mehemet Ali speak highly of the reception they
have met with from the Pacha. Whenever he mentions
his Sovereign, he observes religiously all the forms of ce-
remony used in the East; and in his communications with
the Porte he employs the most respectful terms. He has
just struck a new coinage, and all the pieces bear the name
of Abdul Medjid."—Temps.
The Austrian Observer, of the 6th instant, contains the
following :—" According to accounts from Anatolia, the
report that the army of Osman, Pacha of Erzeroum, bad
dispersed, is unfounded. This Pacha bad been con.
founded with Osman, Pacha of Caesarea, whose troops
formed the vanguard of the army of Izzet Pacha, and
which were the first to fly. The second corps, com-
manded by Hadschi Ali, Pacha of Caesarea, which was
30,000 strong, has at this moment from 8,000 to 10,000
men under arms."

VIENNA, AUGUST 6.---The Aulic Councillor and inter-
preter, M. V. Husgar, wffe; is to go on an extraordinary
mission to Constantinople; is making preparations for his
journey, and will probibiy set'out in about a fottnight.
As he is undoubtedlygping *congratulate the young Sultan
on the part of our Courristivon his accession to the throne.
it should seem that this maybe considered as a refutation of
the statement that the Porte would send a special Ambas-
sador to the European -Court to notify the Sultan's acces-
sion. It is said that the' -notification has been made by
the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna, who in consequence of
orders which he has received, is likewise preparing to set
out for Constantinople. -
Tritium FRONTIERS, Auc. I.—According to the latest
accounts from Constantinople renewed assurances have
been received from Vienna, London, and Paris that the
respective Powers hare resolved to do their utmost to
maintain the integrity and the independence of the Ot-
toman empire under the reigning dynasty.
Accounts from Saloniaa of very recent date speak of
troubles reported to have broken out in the southern
frontier of European Turkey in and about Volo.
The following circumstance gives an interesting indi-
cation of the attitude of Austria in the confusion of the
affairs of the East. The Austrian Rear-Admiral, Ban-
diere, who commands the Imperial squadron in the Le-
vant, has received the following instructions—ln case
he should not be able to agree with the Commander
of the French fleet respecting the manner to be adopted
under such circumstances, he is to consult with the Ad-
miral of the English fleet, and act with him."
Entire tranquillity prevails in Servia, and no doubt is
entertained of the return of Prince Michael, now Prince
of Servia. M. Germano, the eminent banker at Bel-
grade, is gone to Wallachia to fetch him.
The Porte affirms that it has received news from Alex-
andria that Mehemet Ali has declared his readiness to
enter into negociations for peace on the terms proposed to
him.
