AMERICAN PAPERS.

We are indebted to Captain Clark, of the schooner
Splendid, for a file of the Vem Crux Noticioso, from Augusts to
August 15 inclusive. Captain Clark brings verbal information,
that on the sth day after the landing of the Spanish troops, they
took possession of Tampico. This information is confirmed by
a paragraph given below. Commodore Porter was under arrest
at Mexico—cause not known. _

The paper of the 12th gives a list of 14 expelled Spaniards, who
have embarked in the expedition against Mexico. An order was
issued on the 7th, by the Gafe Interino of the Canton .1 Vera
Cruz, commanding all the Spanlarda resident in tORDS and vii.
lagess and other places, to retire 25 leagues into the interior, ac-
cording to the provisions of the law, dated 20th March, 1229, in

case of a forein invasion.
The extraordinary Sessions of the Chambers opened. in the city
of Mexico August 4; D. Pedro Maria Anaya was elected Presi-
dent of the Chamber of DepadM, and D. Vilentia Gomez Farias,
President of the Senate. WWe shall publish the President's Mes-
sage to-morrow. if it appears to be of suMcitnt Interest to be worth
translating.—A Bill was passed by the Legislasure of the State of
Vera Cruz on the 2d of August, authorising the Government to
levY an assessment of 50,000 dollar., in the shape of a loan, to be
secured by a guarantee of the public rents.
The paper of the 6th mentions, on evidence which the Editor
says is perfectly satisfactory, that " General Pedrasi, late l'resi-
dent of Mexico, is now la Havannah, and that In one of the nights

of last month (July) he was seen to enter the house of Captain
General Vives, in disguise. Persons have just arrived who were
eye-witnesses of this act. 0 vengeance, how sweet thou art !"--.
The right of the English Vice-Consul to use a telegraph which he
has in his houses in order to communicate with Tenth of his na-
tion which may arrive in sight of the port, is discussed Pt some
length in the paper of the 15th, and, under the present circum-
stances of the country, denied.
TUSPA M, AIM 3, 1829.
MY &Timm Vuerie—The enemy landed on the 26th of July,
on the point called Cape Roque, to the number of 3,000 men.
They have entrenched themselves in some sand-banks about 100
rods from the shore. The principal Officers who command this
horde of European robbers, are Armband°, who is to remain at
Tampico ; Catlos Maria Lloreate, who is to proceed to the cap-
ture of this place (Tuspam) ; and Barradas, who h to penetrate as
far as he can into the interior. Among the same gang is that vile
wretch Fr. Pedro Indela, who was in Tampico four years . . •
The enemy has taken two coasting vessels, via. the schooner Ceci-
lia, and the Jan Juan, laden with corn.

We have just learned that the Spanish Expedition, whine in-
tended destination was Tuspam, has landed at the mouth of
Tee()luta. To.day three of the transports have returned; and, ac-
cording to information communicated by the Captains, our troops
had already assembled to the number of 600 cavalry. They all
marched in a body to meet the enemy, anxious to show the su-
periority of a man who fights for his liberty over him who defends
tyranny. The result is now doubtful! A few days more, we re-
peat it, and we shall chaum the anthem of victory.

What can be the object of the infamous invaders in landing at
Cape Roque/ On this point various opinions have been broached.
For nutselves, we are inclined to believe, all things considered,
that it cannot be their purpose to invade our Republic through that
point, but only to produce a diversion, in order to accomplish their
premeditated attempt upon this city and the Castle of Cline.—
Hence we infer the great and indispensable necessity of keeping
both places well covered with troops, to avoid a surprise; for
should such an event happen, the consequences will be most
disastrous.
EITSDITION AGAINST TIM 'STADlUM—Eighteen transports, three
of them American, left Vera Cruz on the 7th of August, with
1400 men under the command of Gen. Santa Anna, escorted by
three national vessels of war, to operate against the Spanish
army landed at Cape Roque. They are stated to be com-
pletely equipped, and well officered. The land expedition,
consisting of more than 1,000 men, cavalry, and artillery,
marched, a few days previous, for Tuspam ; so that the said
expedition will consist of about 2,500 men. General Val-
divieso, who has marched from San Luiz Potosi upon Tampico—
Sr. Garza, General Velasquez, and Colonel Serrano, all proceed-
ing to the same point, to assemble a division of 10,000 to 22,000
men, " will operate (says the Noticieso), under Gen. Santa Anna,
against our a sin invader, who are already unfortunately in pos-
session of the ancient town of Tampico. The triumph is certain ;
eight days more, and we hall sound the anthem of victory."
VRRA CRUZ,, Anal/IT 15.
By letters from Tuspam, which have been received in this city,
dated the Ilth instant, we learn positively that Gen. Santa Anna
wasat that place with the expedition under, hi command, making
every preparation to give the Spaniards a warm reception. The
sante letters say It was reported in Tuspam that the invaders of
Cabo-Rojo (Cape Roque) had gained sante advantages over 150 or
200 citizens. whose intrepidity carried them too rashly into the
presence of the enemy. It is added, however, that the Spaniards
will very soon experience the vengeance of the Mexicans, as, in the
immediate neighbourhood of that place, there were more than
1.1,000 men, determined to conquer or die.

The Captain of the vessel which brings this news states that ac-
cording to the information given him, five Spanish soldiers and a
Corporal bad deserted to the Mexicans, who alleged that, includts
ing the troops on board the ship which had disappeared (the Bing-
ham), the expedition bad lost more than 500 men since leaving
II avannah.

" Soldiers ! The Spanish expedition, so often announced as
preparing at Havannab for the invasion of our territory, has
at length arrived ; and these vile slaves of the greatest of despots
have already dared to set their feet upon our soil at Cape Roque.
Obstinate in her purpose to reconquer this country, Spain has not
ceased to provide the means for eventually accomplishing it ; and
this army which now presents itself is the vanguard of the great
expedition which she has prepared as the result of her arduous la-
bours. It is the last attempt which will be made by that imbecile
nation to deprive us of independence.
" Soldieral These perfidious men provoke us to an encounter.
They will bud, to their sorrow, that you du not shrink from this,
but that you are already on the march to accept the challenge.—
They threaten you with death ; but the sharp end of your swords
will infallibly cause them to perish by hundreds, and to bite the
soil which they have dared to profane; insomuch that not an indi-
vidual will remain to witness the destruction which their rash en-
terprize has merited.
" My Friends ! A delightful field of glory opens before us, in
which we will gather new laurels—valour and constancy, disci-
.pline, subordination, and order.. Such qualities as these cannot
deceive us. Always remember that you fight for independence and
liberty; and let those dear names urge you to combat with double
ardour, till the triumph is achieved. That it will be achieved who
can doubt ?
" Soldiers!"—lt is better to die—to die a thousand deaths, if
possible—than to suffer the hard yoke of oppression, which these
tyrants seek to impose. Independence or death! Let it glitter on
your atantlard : let it be the only sound which echos through your
camp, as it is and will be the motto of your General.

CITY OF MEXICO, Am. 5.
It is said that General Arredondo (Spanish) is at Soto la Marina
(say 100 miles North of Tampico) with nineteen vessels. If so,
the enemy purposes to attack us at two points. The convoy of
motley arrived on the £Bth July at Tampico de las Tamani:paa.—
The military Commandant ordered its return to Tula, notwith-
standinkthe opposition of the Vice Consul. and it seems that the
Govercroent has given orders for its removal to Mexico, to be
placed at the disposition of its owners. A fine assistance to the
Spaniatils.this 400,000 dollars would have been,; neulaer, are there
wanting persons who say that the English have purposely dieted
the above sum to that point, in order to aid the enemy. [Very
improbable].

The• three SeCtrUiItD—IICAZLATIONS, Was, and Jusrtee—have
granted 100 dollars per month from thzir salaries, Jut the public

necessities. We stated yesterday, that the Patinas: had re-
linquished one-half of his salary, and the Secretary of the Tazasuay

a part.
Tax Leas Etzemon.—lt appears that the Editors of the Mosican
&l have broached the question of the legality of the election of
President Guerrero, as made on the 6th January last by the Cham-
ber of Deputies. The Editors adopt the opinion that the election
was illegal; and consequently, that the present Government is un-
constitutional. The Caere. de k Feekracion, in commenting upon
these obseruations, says, " We are satisfied that the question
started by the Editors of the Sal is seditious, unseasonable, indis-
creet, and in the highest degree injurious. We all ought to contri-
, buts to the permanency of the existing President, and to speak and
write against the Ministers, if their measures are disapproved. The
liberty of the press cannot be employed in subverting the founda-
tions of society without serious inconveniencies."
klazzoo.—The New York Animal of Ownweeree says,—" Letters
were received by the Burdett, from Havanna, containing extracts
from Vera Crus letters as late as July 30th. By these we learn
that the Mexican Government had made a negociation with several
wealthy individuals of the city of Mexico for a loan sufficient to
meet the exigencies created by the Spanish invasion. This inform-
ation is the more satisfactory, because much apprehension had been
felt lest the public necessities should induce the Goverment to take
possession of the convoys from Mexico to Vera Cruz. Indeed, it
had not disguised the fact, that by some means or other money
must be had.
CORRESPONDENCE FROM TILE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.
Bee Office, New Orleans, Aug. Si.
Our city is again a prey to the yellow fever. The number of
deaths daily augments. Yesterday there were from twenty-five
to thirty. For more thad six weeks we have had continual rains, •
which contribute not a little to extend the fatal malady. GOD only
knows when this scourge will cease its ravages. In the meantime,
our Corporation performs every thing depending on it in assisting
the indigent sick. They have appointed physicians, who render
their services gratis in each district ; they have also appointed apo-
thecaries to furnish medicines, and also committees to raise funds
by subscription. Among the unfortunate deceased there are many
more Mexican Spaniards than people from the Northern States.
A friend who visited the Spanish camp yesterday, reports, that
the troops enjoy good health. They are awaiting the answer of
the Captain-General of Cuba to a letter directed to him by the
Commander of these troops two days after their arrival at the
Wise. The ship Bingham, in which they came, is not able to
proceed on her voyage. The Spaniards mutt stay here until they
receive transports from Havanna.

of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Porte has the option of discharg-
ing the debt in a shorter time ; and the Russian troops will deliver
up the provinces immediately after the entire payment of the in-
demnity."

No doubt was entertained at Constantinople that the Sultan
would immediately send to General Diebitsch the ratifications of
the treaty, which alone were to suspend the march of the Russian
troops.
An extraordinary messenger from Madrid arrived the day be.
fore yesterday at the hotel of the Spanish Legation, and was dis-
patched yesterday evening to London.
