New CrIeanS Jan. ., 1857.
Latest from 7dmpicO.-By the schooner Henry Clay,
have received ampico papers OF the Sh and 18th of
last mun,h and make such tanslalons time will per-
nit Those papers contain nothing later from Vera
Cruz Than The capitulaon.
There is published correspondence between the Fe.
deral General Urea and the Government chief, Cana.
zo, from which it appears that both parties in Mexico
equally resolved 10 resist aggression invasion from
France
1t appears that General Urea and his Federal adhe
rents remained undisturbed masters OF Tampico.
TAIPlco, Dec IL We learn by private conducta
that The cities of Tula and Rio Verde have declared in
favor of the establishment Of The federal constitution
of 1624.
II is reported here that the city Of GaudeIaxara has
also declared for the federal system
1t is further asserted that Gen Canazo has abandon
ed his army in this vicinity in The greatest distress
gone 10 IoIn Gen. FIlosoo, who was also firing from
halamoIas, his troops having declared for the federal
system.
Postscrjptnm-Sn the above was put in type, we
learn that the Henry Clay crossed the bar of Tampco
on the 18th December and that the pilot told the cap
tain that the Mexcans under Santa Ana had driven the
French out Of Vera Cruz
letter from Victoria, received at Tampico Dec
10Th, gave information Of that city having declared for
the federal party.
To sum up il may be said that The intelligence by This
arrival warrants the suspicion that Mexico is about
breaking up nation into number of independent
state soveregnlies But still hesitate to the
adoption Of this opinion until hear further from Santa
Ana, and his army.
