Extract Of a letter Just receired in this city,
dated pera Cruz, Nor. 6, 1885.
"This country is In a bad condition.
They have shut the port (of Vera CRUZ
and allowed nc vessels to leave for several
days past. They have been embarking
ammunition TO Texas. They are am
told) collecting troops 10 the interior like
wise for Texas, and, IL they send them,
this part of the country will be worse, il
possible, than it has been since they re
volted from Spsin. The North Americans
are very much disliked, especially since
Texas has taken the steps which she has
] havc had somo opportunity Of knowing
the character Of this people. having been
among them much at one time | remain
ed among them eight months"
From The New York M a tile Advertiser.
LATE FROM Mexico. The packet ship
Moniczuma, Capt. Davis, arrived on Sa
turday evening from Vera Cruz, having
left that port as late as the 9th inst We
learn that an expedition had been fitted
out at Vera Cruz, TO proceed against Tex
as, for which purpose The port was embar
COED seven days previous 10 the sailing oil
The Montezuma. The amount Of force
that was despatched against the Texans
We have not yet learnt.
We have received Vera Cruz papers 10
the 9Th inst. and from the capital to the
3ist uli., with letters from The former place
10 The 9Th inst. The papers are wholly
silent on the subject OF the Vera Cruz ex
petition. News OF the capture Of the
schooner Corero, and OF the taking Of the
post OF Goliad, by the Texans, had reach
ed the capital, which, together with the
public proceedings and acts of the autlIo-
rites in Texas, produced considerable sen
eation in Mexico Santa AIMS was 10 have
set out for Mexico on the 9th, TO proceed
thence, as was supposed, with a respecta
ble force TO the frontifrs of Texas, either
Ivy way Of San Luis Poioso, or direct 10
Monte Rey. The newspapers comment
with severity on the articles from the New
Orleans and New York. papers, in regard
to Texas.
The new Constitution had been foall,
adopted, and measures taken 10 carry il
into effect. Some of the States had as
scnted TO the change, without opposition.
while others had refused to assemble their
Legislatures TO sanction it, and had sent
commissioner to the capital 10 demonstrate
against the plan Of consolidation. Several
cities and towns had also petitioned for a
continuation Of the Federal system, but.
SO fer as We can perceive, without any ef
feet. A change had taken place in the
heads Of departments of State aud the
Treasury. No mention is made of the ar.
rival OF Col. Butler, the American Charge
al thatciiy.
II appears that Gen. Cos was al Bexar
the 18Th OF October, under which date
he issued q proclamation, announcing his
intention TO march into Texas, as soon as
he should receive further achievements.
1.-THE Journal of Commerce adds {: The
personal safety Of The American citizens in
Mexico was not considered altogether Sc.
It was reported that a large mum
of commissions for privateers had been
sent to Vera Cruz. Great eiiuris were
