LATE FROM MEXICO.

N BY the U. s. brig of W Dolphin

Vera Cruz. via Tampico, we have
dates from the former place up to the
Sd inst.
The u. S. sloop of war Falmouth,
with Mr.. Cursor on boatd, arrived at
Vera Cruz on the last day of Februa-
ry, and remained there when the
Dolphin sailed. Mr.. {. proceeded
on his way TO Mexico vita his des-
patches Immediately.
Among The passengers on board the
Dolphin were Henry Connolly, Esq,
a merchant of Chihuahua, and Judge
Robinson, one of the San Antonio
prisoners who has been liberated by
order of Santa Anna. While in
chains at the castle of Perote, the lat
ter was sent for by Santa Anna, and
after personal interview received
propositions, thought to be Of a favor
able nature towards The final indie
pendence of Texas. These Judge r
now has with him, and he will pro-
coed with all haste to lay them be-
fore the Government of Texas. Ii is
thought by many that the Texan
prisoners, now conGnedat Perote, will
soon be liberated.
1t was reported at Vera Cruz Oh
the Sd that large c7ndtcto, with the
rhino, had left Mexico for the former
place, some 100000 Of which was
for merchants in this city.
The Falmouth was to remain at
Vera Cruz until the lstof April. when
it was.expected that Gen. Thompson
would arrive fromthe city ofMexico to
take passage for the United States.
Official news had been received al
che city Of Mexico ofthe escape Of the
Mier prisoners.
