Later from Merieo.-By the arrival at
this port yesterday Of the ship Birken-
head, we are placed in possession Of later
dates from Vera Cruz and the city Of
Mexico. We learn by this arrival that
the Mexican Government has received the
most authentic intelligence Of the defeot OF
General Armijo neuT Santa Fc by the
Texans. The particulars had not IRAN
spired, but we are assured ina, there Is no
room 10 doubt the success Of the Texans.
Santa Aana is represented Us very furious
about the nfl'uir, and i, is regarded as very
materially conpliratiug the difficulties un-
der which Mexico is now laborins.
We have before us paper containing
communicn,innaddres by Bocanegra, },
the Mexican Minister for Foreisn Affairs,
hearing date the 2lsi OF July, To General
Thompson. The representative Of our Co.
vcrnment, which is Of importance, and we
regret that The reply Of Gen. Thompson
TO The same has not ye, been received. 50
that we might lay them before our readers.
| This communication is in the nature Of 4
protest against The inr0ads mado upon
Now Mexico, as is alleged, by citizeps Of
The States Of Missouri, Illinois and Ar
kansas. II prouounccs such incursions-
made while Mexico is at pence with this
country, while an amnesty has been pro-
claimed between Texas and Mexico, and
negotiations are on foot 10 restore amica-
BILE relations between the two Govern
ments-as being acts Of hostility against
Mexico. and contrary 10 The rights Of ma
tions. j. alleges that as these incursions
are made by The suferance Of the United
States, whatever expense Mexico may
incur TO repelrhem. aud whatever injury
may be inflicted BY them upon her cili-
zcns, are just grounds for claims o(iudcm-
nifty upon our Government. Mr. Bocane-
era then profIcrs such claim for indemnity
in the most formal and positive manner.
We are bound to say that this communi-
cation from the Mexican Foreign Secre-
tary is written with force, strength of rca-
sonipg and spirit. And such weigh, ns its
own reasoninss may carry with it is not a
little increased by the consideration that
Jus, at this moment Mexico has been
s,raiuing point 10 carry OUT her own obi
cations to the United S,aIes. by rcsor,ing
to that most odious exercise Of arbitrary
power, forced loan, 10 make up The in-
dernni,y due this country. By the way.
we learn by our correspondence that the
second payment OF interest on The indcm-
nifty due this country was made at Mexico
OH the Both ulr. Ere this. we presume.
the money has reached Vera Cruz and
that the finccnues is there 10 receive il.
From quarters entitled 10 our most re-
spccrfuI consideration, We learn that there
is a very great probability that Mexico
will rrea, with Texas upon the terms Of
absolute independence 10 the latter coun-
uy.' As 10 Yucatan. VIC are advised that
there is n very little probability That she
will consent to SCI aration.
