running, and there again the Locofocos were EN-.

FROM THE NEW ORLEANS CRESCENT, SEPT

The steamship Midway arrived at the
Balize on the 23d, having left Vera Cruz

and suite. among whom is the son of the
late Emperor Iturbide, were to leave We.
ra Cruz in the barque Eugenia for New
York.
We have before us letter from a
friend in the city Of Mexico, stating that
the bad understanding existing between
the two Governments, in consequence Of
the insulting tone of Bocanegra, had been
arranged TO the satisfaction of General
Thompson, who, at the request Of the Pre-
sident, held an interview with him at the
Palace of the National Government
This was effected, the letter adds, by the
high and manly tone assumed by General
Thompson on all occasions.
The Yucatan Navy is safely moorcd
under the guns of the fort Of San Juan de
Ulloa. The general impression was that
no more troops would be transported TO
Laguna, the force in Yucatan at pres
ent being deemed sufficient for all pur.
poses.
