Dispatches were this morning received at the Foreign
Office from Mr. VAUGHAN, the British Minister at
Washington, and from Gottenburgh.
Dispatches were also this day received at the Colonial
Office from Major-General Sir HILG ROVE TURNEn,
Governor of the Bermudas, dated the 16th of August.
Dispatches were at the same time received from Halifax,
elted the 23d August.
Mr. ROTH, the French Charge d'Affaires, transacted
business this morning at the Foreign Office with the
Earl Of ABERDEEN.

We have this day received a Mexican mail, bringing
Papers to the 18th of July. The Mexicans are in fear
and trembling on account of the Spanish armada fitted
out against them. They so have it, that troops have been
actually sent from Spain,—that levies are made in the
Canary islands to assist in their subjugation ; that be-
sides the squadron from the Havannah, there are a line of
battle ship and two frigates fitted out on the same cause ;
—and lastly, that the expedition instead of 5,000 men,
consists of 15,000. In an article in the Espiritu
P uldico, it is said that the Mexicans are in a very de-
fenceless condition. There is a report prevalent this
day in the City, that Vera Cruz has fallen without firing
a shot. The following are extracts :

MEXICO.
From El Espiritu Publico of 15th of July.
VERA CRUZ.t

Yesterday the Eliza brig, of the United States, from Phila-
delphia, anchored in this port; and in an official paper given by a
person in office to one of the authorities of this city, is the fol.
lowing passage : " The Captain of the Elie i states, that off Cayo
Hueru, an English schooner called the Skip Jack, an the 26th of
June, by which he was informed that there was preperisg,at the
Havannxh, an expedition destined for Vera Cruz, with twelve trans-
ports, two ships of the hue, three frigates (without stating the
number of the troops), and he thought that at that time they
would be at sea. Is there then any one who can sincerely doubt
of the reality of our being soon invaded? We take it for granted
that this new circumstance has been immediately communicated
to the Supreme Government, and to the Governor and Com-
mandant General of the State, that they may hasten their measures :
it is necessary that the troops from Jalapa should come down im-
mediately ; and that General Santa Anna, leaving other affairs.
should instantly come to this place. The moments press on, and
in war activity is the most necessary. Up to to-day, we may say
that we were abandoned to our fate, notwithstanding some mea-
sures bate been taken to prepare for our defence; but Mae are not
sufficient. General Santa Anna! Time. we repeat it, is precious;
and in war activity is the thing most necessary.

From the Esp. Publico of 18th July.
VERA CRUZ, JULY 11.

Yesterday evening a Visors arrived here in 14 days from Cayo

liner° : it is an American in ballast, and it is not known why it
comes, since it has brought no letters. The Captain has made a
declaration conformable to all the preceding Information,—adding

that the expedition does not consist of 5,000 men, but of 13,000.
My friend, the affair is more serious than some persons believe ;
troops have arrived from Spain,—and levies made in haste by Mo-
rales in the Canary Islands,—e ship of the line and two
frigates, besides the squadron from the Haysnnah ;—all the
Spaniards expelled from this country, except those in
Great Britain, come in as volunteers ; and all will leave
their bones here. Bet union and valour (and nothing more) are
indispensable; for with these we shall falsify the joyful hopes of
the tyrant Ferdinand and his adherents. Undeceive yourself : they
are coming to Mexico, and we nay believe they have been on the
way since the Ist instant. The ealy thin doubtful is the place of
landing : probably here or at Beguile de Pledra. I bere—
t No date, probably the 7th or oth of July.
