LATER FROM MEXICO.

BY the arrival at This port yesterday OF
the ship Blrkenhead, We are placed in pos
session of later dates from Vera Cruz and
the city of Mexico. We learn by this arri-
val that the Mexican Government has recei-
we'd the most authentic intelligence of the
defeat of General Armiio near Santa Fe
by the Texans. The particulars had not
iranspired, but we are assured that there is
no room TO doubt the success of The Tex
ans. Santa Anna is represented as very
furious about the affair, and it is regarded as
very materially complicating the difficulties
under which Mexico Is now laborins.
We have before US paper containing
communication addressed by Bocauegra,
the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs,
bearing date the 2lst OF July,to Gen. Thomp-
son, the representative of our Government.
which is of importance, and we regret that
the reply OF Gen. Thompson to tie same
has not yet been received so that we might
lay them before our readers. This commu-
nicaton is in the nature of protest against
the inroads made upon New Mexico, as is
alleged, by citizens OF the States OF Mis-
sour, Illinois and Arkansas. Ii pronounces
such incussions-inade while Mexico is al
peace with this country, while an amnesty
has been proclaimed between Texas and
Mexico, and negotiations are on foot TO res
tore amicable relations between the two
Governments-as being acts of hostility
against Mexico and contrary TO The rights
uf nations. IL alleges that as these iucur-
sIons are made by the suileTance OF the
United States. Whatever expense Mexico
may incur to repel them, and whatever in-
jury may be inflicted by them upon her cit
| lzens, are just grounds Tor claims of iudem-
atty upon our Government. Mr.. Bocane-
gra then proifers such claim for indemnify
IN the most formal and positive manner
We are bound 10 say that this communica-
lion from the Mexican Foreign Secretary
is written with force, strength of reasoning
and spirit. And such weight as its own
lreasonlmgs may carry with it is not i little
! increased by the consideration that Just al
this moment Mexico ms been sIrainiug a
point 10 carry out her own obligations 10
Tie United States, by resortng to that most
ndIous exercise OF arbitrary puwer, forced
! an, to make up the indemnity due tbs
country. by the way, we learn by our cor
fespondence that tho second payment of in
Ierest on The indemnify due inis country
was nade at Mexico on the Both uli. Ere
this. we presume, the none, has reached
Vera Cruz and that the Yincennes is there
To receive it.
From quarters entitled 10 our most res
pecrtul considerations, we learn that there
Is very great probability that Mexico will
treat with Texas upon the terms of aLso-
llie independence TO the latter country
rs to 1ucaian, we are advised that there
u very lIItle probability Thai she will consenI /
10 a separation.
The composition Of Santa Annals ssCoun-
sci vi Government" under the new regime
Upon the basis of Tucahaya--we do not
recOllect 10 have given. The following are
ihe most confidential anu important officers
belonging to his cabinets Bocanegra, Min
lister of Foreign Relations &c; Baranda
OF Justice, Ecclesiastical alIairs and Public
Instructions; aud Totnoi, General of Divi-
SION and Minister of War and the Navy
We have not time TO give the minor appoint
nenis under the new order of things, and
Il IS Oi less consequence, as those we have
named above give no indication Of change
of policy or of adgisers
We hope for leisure tomorrow 10 90 more
carefully through the papers received by us.
Reading Mexican exchanges with mislui-
Toes absolutely swarning about us, ana the
mercury standing al 80 deg. al Q o'clock al
might've cannot believe conducive To health
Lest we should be led into some intemper-
ance of expression upon International az
| fairs, we lay by our papers TIL the morrow.
