IMPORTANT IsrELLIeEsoE.-By the arrival at the
Southwest Pass ofthc English frgale Spartan, Hon.
Capt. Elliot, commander, which vessel sailed from
Vera Cruz on the 18th instant we have intelligence
fifteen days later from Mexico.
Capt Elliot, with several of his officers. came up
from the Baze yesterday, and has taken lodgings
at the 81 Charles Hotel. We understand that the
Spartan brought dispatches for the English Govern

affairs they are doubtless Of great Importance
The city was rife with rumors yesterday morning
to the effect that our minister to Mexico the Hon
Wilson Shannon, had demanded his passports and
was on his way home, and also that serious reyo-
luton had broken out in Mexico which had resulted
in the overthrow of Santa Anna. There certainly
was some foundation for this startling intelligence

II would appear, from such of the published cor
rcspondence we have seen in the Diario that on
the 3lst nit Governor Shannon addressed Ietterto
the Mexican Government, protesting against the
proposed invasion Of Texas by Mexico, and espe.

t-r representatives no room to doubt or quboio, aS
TO their wishes in regard to Oregon and Texas, 'he
two most prominent subjects contained in the Official
communication of the President, and which occupy
large portion of bis Message. In regard to Oregon,
we looked with anxious expect alton TO the Message,
not being that that subject was under negoua

who they have so grossly deceived during The last

the official records prove the fallaoy oil their asser

>0T Tne following interesting correspondence
between tho Hon. "A. Yell, our member elect, of
the Congress of the Uniiod States, and portion
Of the democratic members of the Legislature Of
Arkansas. upon the subject of the vacancy in the
United States Senate occasioned by the death of
the late Hon. w. S. Fulton is laid before our rea-
ders with pride and qualification which we cannot
suppress, is refutation of the ISLANDERS so busiiy
circulated against the gallant champion of our
party. II nails to the counter the charges of our
enemies and the enemies Of our cause, which were
90 perseveringly insisted in, and so adroty used
to encompass his defeat, viz: that he is a selfish
demagogue who labored only to crafty his inor-
dnate ambition. This correspondence furnishes
an evidence of his devotion to principle and love
of the cause for which he has so recently battled,
and in which he has so noby triumphed. He may
well be proud of the position which he occupies
in the victorious democratic party of this State.
Called by the earnest solicitations of the demo-
cratic party to unite their scattered forces and to
lead them in the fierce conflict which was about
to commence, he descended from an office of hon.
or and emoument and made sacrifices, afIording
mocratic cause, and took the field like a gal ant
soldier and led on the fight which resulted in a clo
rlous victory, honorable alike to the party and
their champion. lie says in his letter that he is
satisfied with the Iaurels which now encirce his
brow; well might he be- for who has won and
wears a, brighter wreath!
He has set an example worthy Of himself and
one that might be followed more proftably by the
numerous selfish and dsorganisng asprants in
our party, who to promote their own personal ag.
grandisement would hazard the destruction and
defeat Of our cause. and who are vain enough to
discover their own merits before they are appre.
clnted by their party, and who should remember
that by strict adherence to this rule our princi.
pies will be preserved and our party triumphant.
In conclusion we will only add that tho chagrn of
the wings liz ascertaining that no schism could be
made in our ranks on the subject of the election
of Senator, is equal their modification and dis.
appointment at their defeat in their Vaccinations
to create split on the subject of Governor and
slip in their candidate. Our party is united
our leading men too devoted to the cause to give
the wings any chance to produce dissension in
our ranks for their benefit. Let them not Law
"the flattoring JUNCTION TO their SOULS that they
are smart enough to break up our party in
= general row. as has been intimated.
