LATE FROM MEXICO.

FROM EHE NEW ORLEANS COMMERCIAL bull
LETIN, MAY 25.
We are indebted to Mr.. Kidd, Of the Mer-
chants Exchange, for the following interest
ing news from Mexico.
a. ..TAMpIco, May 10.
DEAR SIR: The conducta of specie
has not been able to pass in cohsp-
quence OF the movements of Generals
Montezuma and Urgarte in St. Luis,
put the Governor informs me that he
has received an express Just arrived,
from which we learn that General Cor
tazar entered and routed completely
the refractory in that city, and re-es-
tablished order there. Montezuma fled
to Rio Ferdo, and is going to be dispers-
ed, with 'Urgarte and other ringleaders.
An attempt was made to excite the
populace of the capitol to second the
revolution in st. Luis, but was prompt
ly put down by the Government, and
the nngleaders apprehended, among
whom was Gen. Palafox. The Fede-
raj party has no chance now. Busta-
mente is putting them down in all di =.
rections.
The division of Cartazar is now on
its march to reinforce the division of
Bravo, which continues distributed in
Metamoras, the adjacent towns, and in
Leona Vicario, and which amounts al
together to 1900 men, which Busta-
fmente, so far from ordering the with
drawal Of those troops, has cattsed to
be reinforced by q division in reserve,
which will be statiored by steps in
Zacatecas and St. Luis. They have
heard Of the mad intentions Gas they
say of the Texans to advance s. take
Metamoras, andhave prepared accor-
DINGHY. They have also 500 cavalry
on the banks Of the Rio Bravo, that can
be reunited in any given point in less
than week.
At present the movement of those
troops will depend on the payment OF
six millions of dollars, contribution of
the priests and friars, and which it is
said will be paid even by selling their
\ goods and chattles, as is decreed by
z; = sssaS. ---siican Congress.
The Administration of Bustamente
is not like that of Santa Anna; it is an
administration which unites the, opin-
ions of all the powerful classes in the
country. They expect soon to renew
the war against Texas, and, as they
say conquer them at once, They are
now building at Campeachy two briggs
and four schooners, said to be of solid
constructions and bends. The Gov
eminent have also ordered a draught of
$4,000 on all the departments of the
nation; formerly called States Of the
Confederation. They are also of opin-
ion that the alterations with the U. s.
Government will be soon amicably ad-
justed by negotiations, but they say the
affairs of Texas can neverbe settled un-
til either the whole Mexican race be
exterminated or until the last Texian
shall disappear from that colony.
Various causes have retarded so long
the march ofthe expedition into Texas.
One of them being the unexpected re-
turn Of Santa Anna, who was now fall
en- forever, butof course the main cause
was the want Of money. At present
the movement of the troops will de-
pend on the six millions of dollars al
luded to above. -. 3.
All kinds of business here are very
dull, and we are waiting f5f the con-
Quota with a million arfd half of mo-
ney, now thatSt. Luis is free from rev.
olutionists, who wish Only robbery and
ot,the Constitution as they pretended.
" Kidd, Merchants Ex-
change, New Orleans.
P. S.-Gen. F. Toro, brother-in-l law
ofSanta Anna, has finally been shipp-
ed off'from Campeachy to Vera Cruz,
by order Of the Government hotwith-
standing his pretensions of sickness to
femaih at his country seat.
Whoever reads the above with attention
will find that its contents have been substan-
TALLY ANTICIPATED by the correspondence OF
the National Intelligencer,, published two
weeks ago, which some of our readers won
dered at and some disbelieved; whilst our
Contemporaries generally proclaimed it very
''strange, if rde,'' The force Of the Mexl-
Cans, on the eastern frontier Of that country
previous to the 10th May, it appears, was, as
Heretofore stated by our correspondent ABOUT
eight thousand men, that is to say, 7,Qoo III
iahtry and 800 cavalry and that corpse was
about to be still further augmented, Tor the
war in Texas, by. a CORPS lie REsERvE'
These are the identical statements MADE ny
oar correspondent, which ALMOST staggered
even our own belief because not the slightest
Information of this movement was contained
Ii the New Orleans papers. Nat Intel.
