AMERICAN PAPERS.

By the packet.ships Pacific and General Washing-
ton, which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, we have re-
ceived files of New York papers from the 25th ult. to
the 10th inst. The only foreign news they contain relates
to Mexico. We subjoin some extracts:—
" Mn.. PEDRAZA.—We are happy to have it in our
power to announce, that the second missio❑ from Mexico
to Mr. Pedraza, to urge him to return to his country in
the character of President of the Republic, has been suc-
cessful. Private letters, from unquestionable sources, were
received in this city yesterday from Bedford Springs,
bringing the gratifying intelligence, that after an interview
with Messrs. Zerezero and Soto, the Commissioners, Mr.
Pedraza, in the spirit and with the views which we con-
fidently expected from him, yielded to the wishes of his
country. He is to set off for Mexico on the 2d of Oc-
tober, accompanied by those gentlemen ; and, embarking
on the Ohio, will take passage at New Orleans
in the Mexican Government vessel Bello India, which
awaits his orders. He will probably he landed in his na-
tive country in a very short time; and, we sincerely hope
will he able to effect all the good which his friends with
reason anticipate.
" Moxlico.—Letters from Tampico to the 4th of Sep-
tember were received yesterday, via New Orleans.

" TAMPICO, Ana. 27.—We learned by the mails of
yesterday that the troops at Matamoras had declared
against the Government, and had imprisoned their com-
mander, Glonel Peredas ; also that General Bustamente
had left the capital, and was at the city of Queretaro, or-
ganizing some forces ; and that General Montezuma would
leave San Luiz to march against him in a tew days with
an army of 500 or 600 men. The scene of warfare is
now approaching the capital, and probably it will only be
determined there. Although we, as foreigners, have re-
mained strictly neutral during the present contest, yet the
party of Santa Anna has always bad our most fervent
wishes for its success. It is the cause of liberty and in-
dependence, of free institutions, free opinions, and free
trade. On its fate depend the security of our property
and of our persons, and the very happiness of the whole
nation. The present Administration have rendered them-
selves obnoxious by too many arbitrary acts not to be
known well to you. The military has superseded the
civil authority, commerce has been shackled by a thousand
serious innovations, the beautiful territory of Texas loaded
with 11 thous ind oppressions, and the whole system had
been upheld by a licentiaus, intolerant, and ignorant
priesthood. You may not wonder then that the whole
nation has risen en masse to demand its rights, and you
will wonder if they do not obtain them. A very disa-
greeable occurrence has recently taken place in this port,
which has created no little feeling of resentment against usin
this place, aed I wish to communicate the facts, in order that
the truth may be known amongst you. It appears that a
small schooner belonging to the liberating squadron, and
commanded by a Mexican, has robbed an American vessel
near Matamoras of some few articles. This came to the
knowledge of Lieutenant Tatnall, of the United States
schooner Grampus, then at Matamoras, who immediately
proceeded to this place and took possession of the vessel a
few days after his arrival. This mischief was all very well,
and no fault would have been found with him by the autho-
rities here. But the vessel was conveying 63 troops from
their
Lieutenant commander'fa t n a 1 1 was

previousval
Texas in order to reinforce the army at Sin Luiz, and
to the capture of the vessel that be would land the soldiers
at the bar, and also inform the authorities, through the
Consul, of his motives for taking the vessel. But after
taking possession of her, he immediately proceeded with
both vessels to sea, without holding any communication
with the shore, and leaving his countrymen resident here
to stiffer fir his extraordinary conduct. We have felt it
the more, as these troops were destined to aid a cause of
which every American must be a well-wisher, and their
commander, Colonel Alexia, is one of the finest officers in
the service.—illercantile Advertiser.
" FROM MExxco.—We have before us a letter from
Vera Cruz, written on the 27th of August, received by
the Escar, at New Orleans.
" The state of Chiapas has declared in favour of Ptdra-
za's return to the Presidency. The State of Guanagirito
has declared itself neutral on the present question. No
change had taken place in the positions of Santa Anna's
and Facio's armies, at and near Orizaba.
44 We learn from the Registro Official of Mexico,
August
19, the names of the new Ministry, our late list
of which was not quite correct, Fagoaga is Minister of
Foreign Relations, Godoy of Justice and Ecclesiastical Af-
fairs, Alas of the Treasury, and Iberri of War. The editor
pretends that Bustantente's resignation of the Presidency,
and the appointment of this Cabinet, are in compliance
with the demands of the Opposition; but it appears to be
only another shift to which necessity alone has impelled
them.
LATER Fittest MExico.—We received yesterday a
file of the Vera Cruz Censor to the 13th ult.
44 'The South has declared in favour of M. Pedraza ;
the official papers being published in the Censor
of the 1 1 th, viz , the pronunciatniento of the fortress of
San Diego de Acapulco, and two proclamations from Gen.
Alvarez.
44 The armies of Montezuma and Bustamente were still
watching each other, and the General had issued short
pa-amations, dated August 30 and September 1, both
of a warlike character. Bustamente had sent Costazar to
hold an interview with his opponent previously to this, but
without any effect.
.4 A private letter, dated at Queretara, September 1,
states, that Montezuma had 9,000 men, and Bustamente
only 4,000.
MEXICO, SEPT. 5 —The Government have given
Facie. his quarters, and General J. Rincon the command
of the general.
44 It was reported at Vera-Cruz that Colonel Aristo,
on his return to Alorelia, had been attacked by a party of
Colonel Quijano, and in the skirmish was dangerously
wounded.
" The Government have ordered that passengers be per-

mitted to travel between Vera-Cruz and Mexico, but
letters are not suffered to pass.
" Almost the entire state of Morelia bad declared for
Pedraza.

" The Congress of Campeachy have given their votes to
Bravo and Muzquiz.

" The Leeislature of the state of Mexico, on the Ist,
voted for Bravo as President, and Bastamente as Vice-
President. The southern part of that state has delcared
for Pedraa, and offered 2,000 men to Santa Anna."
