MEXICO.

vi t-i itCO.
John L. Dorsey, Esqs bearer of dis
patches from hlexicu, to our Government.
arrived in this city last evening via kc!y
West and Pensacola, having left Vera
Cruz on the l7lh ut.
Mr.. L left in the Schr. Anshuc, Cartain
Wilson, for Ncw-York. He was in the
Gulf twenty -four days, most Of which time
the vessel was bccaimed. lie landed al
Key West in pilot boat, from which place
Capt. Satpr, ofthe U. 5. steamer MissS
sppi, politely rendered him passage 10
Pensacola. From thence he travelled
overland to Macon, and arrived in this
city, by The Central Rail Road.
The Dispatches, we learn. are ol very
important character III relation to our dIi-
lcultics with Mexico. When Mr.. ID. left,
rreat excitement prevailed towards the
Government OF the U. States. A procla-
nation was issued the dry before his de-
parlurc, Of most violent and inllammato-
ry character, calling upon the citizens 10
unite and resist the aggressions OF the Uni
ted States; denuuncing our citizens as
thieves, robbers and scuundrcls, who are
dcsirous to overthrow their religion, plum
der their churches, and prostitute their
wives and daughters.
The whulc of the Texan prisoners who
had heen liberated, had left The city of
Mexico for Vera Cruz. A portion of lhcn'
were only 40 miles distant, and the bal
ancc were i'm Vera Cruz, waiting for the ar.
rival of vessel which had been chartered
bv MIR, liargnus, The American Consul
with view Of transporting them TO Gal
weston. Many Of them had been confined
in the hospital with the yellow fever; Q
number of whom had died, &-.r
The Army o. the Mexican GoyeTnmenl
amounts to upwords of $4,000: effective
men, and was daily receiving additions from
the various sections Of the Surrounding
country. Upwards Of 10000 men hat
seen ordered 10 the frontier Of Texas, fUI
the purpose of conquering it. Her Navy
had also undergone considerable increase
the Government having purchased two wa
steamers in En&land for The purpose o
co-oprraling with the army.
Mr.. Wcbster's letter in reply to Mr.
Bocauegra, Minister Of Exterior Relation:
in Mexico, had not reached there whcr
Mr.. D left. From the hostility displayed
by the officers Of the Mexican Govern
ment towards the American residents il
that country, MIR. D. says he should not b.
surprised if the tone Of Mr.. Webster's let
, Ter should induce the Mexican Govern
mcnt to expel them.
A day or two previrus to Mr.. Dorsey
departure, Mr.. Bocanegre resigned hi
] scat rs member of the Cabinet, and wa
succeeded by MIR. Aaman, formerly Min
lister of Exterior Relations under the EN-
peror ltGrbide.
> Gen. Lombednicr, ofthe Mexican Army
> has been ordered by Santa Ana to repai
e to the frontier of Texas. Several Of tn
i officers had been put in prison on accuul
5 of their refusing 10 accompany him Oh thi
C expectation.
We further understand that the officer
of the Mexican Government haVe8not a
yet exchanged civililics with our Minister
MIR. Thomosnn, whose eXcrlionsih bring
: ing to close the negotiations in relation
= to the Texan prisoners, cannot be tw
!, highly commenced.
=, There were no American vessels at We
S ra Cruz when Mr.. ID. left, and what is
;, little remarkable, thereE had not been a
i arrival there from New Orleans since Apri
