FROM MEXICO.
Our regular file Of papers arom the
civ of Mexico are to the 7th ultimo,
but contain nothing of importance !;
they are silent upon political move
mens. By the arrival of the schooner
Indiana, from Tampico, we are alike
deficient Of political information i,
would appear as though the papers
were wilfully ignorant of any thing go.
inp on in the country. These papers
are the organs Of government, and Of
course say nothing Of the political
movements.
From Me,amoras, by the schooner
Water Witch, Captain Watkins, we
have received our regular file of pa
pers. The w. brings 100000 in
specie to J. A. Merle 81 Co. The pa
pers contain nothing positive all is
vague and uncertain as to the situation
of affairs in the country. Troops to
the amount of 1000 men are at Met
amoras under General Urea, awaiting
information OF the arrival of a small
blockading squadron that has sailed
for the purpose of blockading the port
of Galveston, intending TO take up his
line of march for the interior of Texas
as soon as the plan is matured. The
troops are said TO be 10 good spirits g.
anxious to 10 march to revenge the de.
feat of their brethren under Santa Ana.
Five chiefs of the Cherokee Indians
were at Metamoras, and had offered
their services to the commandsnt OF
the Mexican forces, who, it 10 said; has
accepted them the warriors were to
march Immediately to join the army.
The schoouer Halcyon, at Metamo.
ras, was to sail in few days for this
port, with about 5000, 900 on board.
Both the Mexican and Tampico pa :
pers appear to have agreed to repre-
sent every thing as peaceable q quiet
10 the city of Mexico, as well as in the
different States. A circular has been
issued from the Government. calling for
immediate aid, Of money and reinforce
ments from all the States, TO be sent
against Texas. The ode Diario'' Of
the 4.h inst, contains a proclamation
Of the Commandant of Oajaca, ad-
dressed to the troops of the Garri-
son, Recommending them to unite
their force TO repulse any sedilion tina,
may arise. This proclamation is da.
ted on the 22d ult. Al Guadalajara,
the same step has been taken TO arrest
the plans OF revolt tina, are constantly
projected. What will be the ter mi
nation we can form no idea. But il
cannot be denied that the Liberals are
increasing in number and strength in
every State, and at the first signal We
should not be surprised TO see the
revolution burst out simultaneously in
every direction. 1t is not probable
that any movement will be made before
fall, as The General is continually sen
ding troops TO Texas, thus weakening
It's power at very great hazard. W.
learn nothing as TO the FINAL disposition
Of Santa Aua. General FIlasola hac
reached the capital and Surrendered
himself on trial.
REVOLT OF NEGROES AT HAVANA

tract ola letter from Havana of Jul!
