The Mexican journals furnish new details rea-

Sentmanat was shot on the lfth June, at noon
on the public square at Jalpa. with thirteen OF
his companions, who first landed with him, and
were captured by the troops of the Governor Gen.

seven, were not able to land, and consequently
were arrested on board the vessel which conveyed
them. They are, in great part. Spanish sub
officers of the CarlSt party, enrolled by Sentma-
nat during his soiourn in New Orleans. THESE
unfortunate men arc probably shot by this time,

the supreme government at Mexico On board
the scho.pcr which carried them out we're found

The following notice OF correspondence be-
tween NJ. Bocanegra, and MIR. Green, the Amcrl
can Charge d'Affaircs, which is extracted from
the Courier Francais is interesting:
His Exceency the Governor and Command
ant of Vera Cruz has informed the Supreme Gov
eminent under date of the 22d June that ma
val force of the United States had appeared Off
Vera Cruz, composed of the frIgate Potomac, ono
brig, and one sloop of war That officer stated
that these vessels belong to the squadron which
The United States Government had dispatched TO
The Gulf of Mexico 20 sustain its unjust preten-
sions, and he asks for instructions respecting the
conduct he is to observe toward them. An ex-
change Of notes on this subject had taken place
between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the
Legation of the United States. MIR. Bocanegra
informs the Charge d'Affaires Of the United States
hat. according to the American newspapers, the
Government Of that Republic had detached land
and sea forces to hinder the Government of Mex
ico, in the exercise Of it's inprcScnpubIe and &C
knowledged rights, from occupying the territory
of Texas with its army. This intelligence, adds
his Exccllency, is confirmed by frigate moored
at SACRIFICES, and by the Commodore himself.
who announces that he will soon be- joined by
other ships of war.
His Exceency the Minister declares to the
Charge d'Affaires Oft the United States that he Is
instructed BY his Exccliency tho President TO de.
mand formally if the troops which Mexico may
oder to Texas, will be met in hostile manner
bv those of the United States. Such an act, says
TIC Minister, weuld be declaration of War
against Mexico, who would find herself obliged To
rcpcl force by force, after such an Outrage and
The rupture of the treaties of peace and amlty
which bind the two Republics.
The Charge G'Affaircs answers, that having re
cciycA no communication from his government
in reu4rd to the demand addressed 10 him By the
Minister, he cannot make to him the precise and
formal declaration which he solicits; but will
Immediately submit the subject to his government,
from which he daily expects 10 receive lnstruc-
tons, and as soon as he receives them he will
Ia. ten to apprise his cxcellency.
The Charge d'Affairs nevertheless adds" i'm
peled by a frank and sincere desire to commu-
nicate all the information in his possession, he
will take the liberty to call to mind note ad-
dressed 10 MIR. Thompson, Minister of the United
States, en- the 23d of last August. In this note,
the same Mr.. Bocanegrs was the first TO enter
upon the discussion of the Annexation of Texas
t. the United States, with this legation, conclud-
ing his communication with direct menace OF
war; in case that Republic adopted the measure
in question. The treaty is now submitted to the
consideration of the Senate of the United States,
and the undersigned has reason to believe there
is no doubt, his government has stationed forces
by sea and land in such manner as to meet any
continacy that may arise. He thinks, however,
tina: these measures have been taken as q delen-
sive precauton, rendered necessary by the fre
quenlly repeated menace which MIR. Bocanegra
has thought proper to address, in the name of hi:
Government, to the Republic of the United
States"
