La.es. from Campeachy.

.
Glide Campeachy dates OF the ID instaa't have
reached New Orleans. On the 1st the Mexican
General Ampudia, after having published N the
papers several threatening proclamations, full OF
bEayado, and promising to all Yucatecos who
should lay down their arms the most satisfactory
treatment, sent an envoy to the Campeachlan
General, Mendez, proposing that hostilities should
be suspended, and that two commissioner on
either side should be appointed, 70 draft treaty
Of permanent peacc and amity between the two
natiug.s. In the interim that the Mexican forces
under Ampudia should be allowed to evacuate the
ter tory of Yucatan, without let or hindrancc.-
Arnpudia declared that the pacific arrangements
IN contemplation td1ld be entirely approved Of by
Santa Ana.
\ paragraph: in the New Orleans Bulletin an
nounces that the armistice was concluded: but
the other New Orleans papers do not confirm it.
They say on the contrary that it was the belief of
many persons at Campeachy that this offer OF
peace was only fent on the part of Ampudia,
and that his object was TO gain time to retreat to
Lerrna, where it was supposed he would be able
TO effect the debarkation Of his troops. Their
opinion was based on the critical position in which
he found himself placed Eight hundred of the
Yucatanese troops mad arrived from Merida, and
the balance, making a total of three thousand,
were on their way. He would inevitably be sur
rounded, and hence his motive for making the
offer, which he did not it was thought, intend to
carry out in good faith, if he could possibly avoid
it. Still the people Of Yucatan generally were
greatly pleased with the prospect Of peace, and
DESTROYS that the offer snoud be accepted.
The Pacificador, a paper established by the
Mcxicans at Buenavsta, complains bitterly that
the Yucatancse have armed the Indians and thus
availcd themselves of the services OF savages.
The Bolctin, published at Campeachy, replies to
this, that the war now waged is as much on ac-
count OF the Indians as on that Of the other Yuca
tanese, and that it is time that this unfortunate
class should be elevated in the scale of civiliza-
ton, and that in submitting to the laws they
should be protected by them.
With regard 10 the Texan fleet it is said that
Com. Moore was ready for action. The injury
suffered by the vessels, in the late action under
his command, was said to be but trihing. He had
an excellent crew, and they were quite sangulne
of victory 1t was his intention to have given
the enemy chase on the I'd, but on account of
the negotiations pending he had forborne doing
so. The Bee has rumor, not improbable Judging
from the character of Com. Moore, that he had
sent a challenge to the commander Of the Monte
,,r,o to moot tho ,,cr ~, fhroe fatpoms W., for
or the dinst. OF if those terms did not suithim,
Moore proposed to encounter the Montezuma
and Guadalupe, with the Austin and Wharton.
The Fanny, and a Boston brig that had been
seized by the cruisers, had on examination at
Campeachv, been released. Commodore Boylan
had left with his gun-boats for Lerna. The
Texan sch0oncr-ofwar independence, Lieutenant
Gray, was to sail on the 29;h for a cruise toward
the eastward. 1t was thought very strange that
this vessel should leave at time when decisive
battle was to be fought.

death from the Sentinel of the 9Th inst. The ac-

living, but it is the only statement now before us
