Baron Dclandis. the French Minister, left the
l2h in brig of war, for France. Preparations
were made 10 attack the place on tie eh, AT which
time the squadron consisted Of two iIgaies and five
bngs, force would think scarcely adequate for
such purpose. A consultation, however, was held
ON that day. and the enterprise abandoned. Great
excitement was produced IN the city by the ruinor
so much so that Gov. Rncon advised the French resi-
dents to leave, he might not be prepared 10 pro-
tect them in the event OF an attack.
This procedure, on the part of the Minister and
Commodore, WAS undoubtedly raSe de gueyrc, de

Other ports have been opened, but they also have
been placed under the surveillance oil the bockad-

Little business is doing in Vera Cruz 70

mand. The blockade is very rigdy enforced

tion Of the blockade, is heretofore. The particu-
lars of this order have been despatched to the
United States aud of course will not be enforced
until made known to the Public. Under other cir
a capture could not be justified. Yes

1t isrumorcd, and generally believed, that the
dlaon Of Hen Majesty Queen Victoria has been
solicited with view RECOMMENDATION with France.
No particular news from the city OF Mexico, other
than report, engendcrcd@ undoubtedly ia some
frightened Imagination, that the French would at
tex Vera Cruz and rampico on the Goth, Gestcr
day.
The La Pcyrouse is lying OFF this port she Is
recently from Sac,licos. From all can learn
infer that nothing will be done unit, alter October;
by which time Baron Dcandis will have arrived IN
France, and such means directed will oblige the
Mcxicans to come into measures at once, or in all
probability share hc fate OF Asiers.
