MKxico.-By the arrival of the schooner Anna
zon, at New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, journals have
been received from that city, says the New Orleans
Courier Of the 9Th inst, TO the 2lst and OF Mexico
to the 10Th inclusive, from which we have extract
ed the most interesting contents, together with
decree of the President, prohibiting the importation
of certain goods, a translation of which was given
US by the Mexican Consul.
| Captain Parkinson is bearer.of dispatches from
our Minister at Mexico to the Department of State
Shortly after the arrival of the Amazon, ii was
rumored that the port of Tampico was closed to To-
reign trade, and that decree to this effect would
be forthwith published We have not been able to
disc over any foundation for this rumor, and be-
lieve it TO be doubtful at least.
The Censor of the 2lst, contains letter from
Matamoras Of the 9th, announcing THAI the Texan
schooner Santa Ana had arrived there, having on
board Mr.. Golan, a Mexican officer, who had car
RED dispatches from Santa Ana to the President Of
Texas, and returned with the answer.
The writer of the letter says, he is very busy in
translatipg this answer and that he has time only
to say that it is very satisfactory for Mexico, that
the Texan Commissioners will be at. Laredo, on
the 25h September, froatier town, where the
conditions and duration of the armstice will be
arranged.
The result Of the primary elections, which have
just taken place, in Mexico, is not known. At
Vera Cruz they ware favorable to Santa Ana-but
it is said, they have not ended in the same man.
ner in other places. But there is nothing positive
on this subject, and it is difficult to form an opln-
ion from this first essay as the elections have three
grades.
The following is a translation of the decree re-
erred to:-
