MEXICO.

So much uncertainty attends the intelligence we are in
the habit of receiving from Texas and Mexico, that ere one
week elapses we may be called on to contradict statements
made but two or three days previous. An arrival yesterday
from Matamoras, brings news of General Arista's advance
to that place with 3000 Mexican soldiers,
whose military
array seemed exemplary. This warlike display comes quite
unexpected, after the accounts of last week, touching the
critical position of the Centralists in Mexico. If the force
under General Arista be such as represented by the Mata •
moras letter writers, we arc of opinion that the Texan generals
and soldiers will soon have other employment than that of
repelling the Indians.

MATAMORAS, August 25, 1840.
General Arista sets out to-morrow with about 1,000 men,
to meet the Federalists who are in the vicinity of Montery.
If the reports, in circulation here, are to be relied upon, the
Federal General, Canales, has had six or seven Texans put
to death ; and the consequence has been that all the Texans
or Americans have left him.—New Orleans Courier.

FROM VERA CRUZ.—The bark Eugenia, Captain James
Biscoe, arrived at this port this morning. She left Vera
Cruz on the 26th of August. We are indebted to Captain
BiSCQS for tilt) following report ;--.

The government conducta, consisting of about 300,000
dollars, had left Mexico on the 19th August, destined for
Vera Cruz, at which place money had become exceedingly
scarce, owing to recent revolutionary movements of the fe-
deral party at the capital.
The revolt of the sth and 6th regiments on the 15th July,
had been compromised and settled on the 27th. The lives
of those concerned being guaranteed by the supreme govern-
ment, but the principal chiefs had received their passports to
quit the country, and were preparing to leave.
President Bustamente had asked to be invested with extra-
ordinary powers, but which Congress had not granted on the
19th August. His ministers had sent in their resignation,
but who continued to discharge the functions of their respec-
tive offices.

Tranquility prevailed at Tampico on the 9th August, a re-
volt of the troops having been anticipated.
The Texan navy, or a part thereof. under command of
Commodore Moore, was cruising off Vera Cruz on the 24th
August, but not, as supposed, with any hostile intention.—

Extract of a letter dated Tepic, western coast of Mexico,
Aug. 14, 1840 :
It is probable that you have heard of some Englishmen and
Americans being forcibly sent to San Blas by sea from Cali-
fornia. They are still here prisoners, awaiting an investiga-
tion into their conduct by the Mexican government, which
has been delayed by the late revolutionary movements.
Their cause is in the hands of the British and American
ministers, and justice will be done them for the sufferings
they have undergone, and which appears to have been inflicted
most arbitrarily by the authorities of California without any
just causc.—New York Journal of Commerce.
