MEXICO, TEXAS, &c.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.
Several vessels arrived here at a late hour this
evening from New Orleans, by which we have been
supplied with papers from that city to the date of
the 7th ult. inclusive, being five days later than those
teceived via New York.
The greatest possible excitement prevailed there in
Consequence of the continued confinement, by Mexico,
of the American citizens recently- captured in the
Santa Fe expedition, notwithstanding the remon-
strances made by the American Government, accom-
panied with a demand for their immediate release.
It appears by the latest accounts from Mexico that
the prisoners are subjected to the most shameful treat-
ment, being compelled to work in pairs in chains in
the streets of Mexican cities, and it is said that Santa
Anna is inflexible in his determination not to release
them until such time as he shall be compelled by an
appeal to arms ; and in order to place himself in
a fit state to defend any attack that may be made
upon him by the Americans, he has ordered
34,000 troops to be raised with the least pos-
sible delay, a small portion of which are to
be stationed at Vera Cruz, and the remainder near
the Texian line. In short, the movements of Santa
Aua are such as to leave no doubt as to his intentions
wills respect to the future treatment of the unfortu-
slate Americans who joined the Santa Fe expedition.
Tfie above state of things had caused a complete
,blaais in New Orleans and other cities in the southern
states, :and popular movements were every where
tektsg place, for the purpose of expressing
,public opinion upon the subject, and calling
upon the federal government for firm and
immediate action in the matter, in order that
the lives of the prisoners may not be sacrificed to the
avarice, cupidity, and despotism of the Mexican Pre-
sident, Santa Anna. At New Orleans, a very large
meeting had been held, at which a string of resolutions
were proposed and unanimously adopted, denouncing
in the strongest possible terms the gross barbarity of
4he Mexicans, and calling upon the federal government
to take immediate steps for the vindication of the ho-
nour of the American name, and the protection of
the liberty of American subjects, and urging it to in-
flict summary punishment upon Mexico for the insult
and injustice which she has already offered and inflicted.
The Legislature of the State of Louisiana had also
had the subject under its consideration, and had
adopted resolutions partaking of the same sentiments
as those adopted at the public meeting at New Or-
leans. That body had also passed the Bank Bill,
which enjoins immediate resumption of cash payments
by the money institutions. Such as are not able to
comply with its provisions are to go into liquidation
forthwith. The bill was not very popular among the
people, though a large number of mercantile men
approved it.
We have advices from Texas to the 30th of January.
• Congress would, it was . supposed, adjourn about the
,Ist (if February. A bill regulating the import duties
had become law. The rate of duties average from 15
to 20 per cent. ad valorem, paid in par money. The
law authoring the negotiation of a loan had been
repealed, The threatened invasion of Mexico had not
taken place, but the people were in daily expectation
of it, and were still engaged in organising measures to
repel it.

Business at Now Oricans had somewhat improved
in the interval between the date of the last adviees and
tir present. This change had been produced by the
receipt of news from England, of an improvement in
the cotton market, and •the announcement of Lord
.k:hleuton's mission to .the United States, which is
looked upon in a favourable light, end the southern
men anticipate the happiest results from his labours.
Th? cotton market was active, and the prices incline"
inwards. Monet, was edss, `n:l the rate of exchange
on London declining. It was last quoted at 111; to
12 per cent. premium.
