BY the arrival at New Orleans of the schoon-
er Amazon, the Intelligence Of the misunder-
standing between the government of Mexico
and England is fully confirmed.
AT present the affairs looks as if Santa Anna
would soon have the English laundering about
his ears. The circumstance appears TO be as
follows
On the llth, a festival dav. il being the ami
versary of the victory gained by Santa Anna
over the Spaniards at Tainpico, a ball was given
at the place in the city Of NeXico, and all the
Foreign Ministers invited, The ball room was
s~uperbly ornamentcd, and among other decora.
tons were the trophies won by Mexico from the
Spaniards and Texans. These flars were SITS
pended at one end Of the room. Unon the en-
trance of Mr.. Doyle, the Charge d A6aires, he
inquired Tie meaning # them, and being an
swered that they were trophies, he very natur-
ally was led to a closer examination Of them.
Upon inspection he found that the " English
jack was stuck up among the flags taken f ON
the Texans. lie Immediately addressed him.
self to MIR Bocaneora. the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, who was present, and asked an e|Xplan-
alton Of the occurrence. The Minister replied
that the Jack was taken from the Texans.
and on that account alone had been placed
among the trophies, and with no view of giving
offence to the British Government. MIR DOYLE
expressed himself satisfied with this EXPLAIN
ton, but added that he must request the flag
should be taken down, saving that as it was not
his wish the affair should attract public atten.
ton, he was willing that it should be done while
the company were at supper, when no one
would be present in The ballroom. Bocancrra
consulted with Santa Anna on the subject, and
assured Mr.. Doyle that it should be taken down

this promise. and Santa Anna, moi feeling dis
posed to accede to Mr.. Doyic's demand, this
gentleman retired from the ball, followed by all
the British subjects present.
The next day Mr.. Doyle addressed a note TO
the Governments, demanding that the far should
be taken down, and, as "A satisfaction for the in
suit, should be h"isied in the public square, and
saluted with tweniy.one guns. 70 this no sat
lsfactory reply was given, and notes were ex.
changed until the 9th, which is another nation
al tete, and the Salon de Reception being open
that day, Mr., Doyle was informed that the jack
still remained in the same place upon which
he immediately sent the British Consnl. Gen.
eral with two merchants, as witnesses, to see if
1t was actually the case. Finding H. 10 be SO. he
addressed a note to the Government, %sayinr.
that his diplomatic relations with the Govern
ment of Mexico ceased from that moment, Until
further orders from his Government. A circu-
lar was also passed to all the British merchants
advising them that he had found himself under
