LATER FROM MEXICO.

LATER FROM MEXICO.
By the arrival Yesterday of the barque Lsurens,
Caut Thompson from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed
on The ID inst. have intelligence eleven days la
ter than previously received
verbal report was circulated very generally
thl ough the city yesterday, and created MOI ME
interest TO the effect that the Hon. Caleb Cushing,
our Minister to China, had arrived Jar as the cy VI
Mexico ON his way home, and that the barqae huge-
MIA was detained at Vera Cruz 10 convey him 10 New
York Farther than This we could learn nothing the
papers we have saying not word upon The sub
iect Whether Mr.. Cushing has settled his business
with the Celestas, whether there has been mis-
underA andng with the brother Of the sun and moon
are vet matters OF which We are profoundly ignorant.
If MIR. Gushing rs really on his way home, and the
captain of The Laurens states positively tha he 49, he
has taken the ne Arrest and quickest route We shall
wait unxiously for farther intelligence upon this sub
ect.
From the complexion OF verbal reports and the pa
pers we have received, II would seem that Santa
ma although still at the head OF numerous army
and The march towards the disafiected Districts, Is
still surou nded with difficulties and with Congress
little disposed to show him much favor or lend him
that assistance bis eIgenc es demand But he is
bold and unscrul ulous player Ia the game Of ambition
and supremacy and may yet be able to crush the
olulion unless Paroles has very powerful support in
The fevolted provinces well great Influence IN
Congress. We have heard il rumpred that Santa
Anna had executed several officers known TO be
LEAF ued sganst him; but this we can hardly credit.
In the mean time give short abstract Of the more
important items see in our papers.
SAINTS Anna set out from Guadalupe with the army
on the 0Ist ut for Queretaro. A large division OF
the troops had gone in advance of him. which was TO
be reinforced by the garrison stationed at the city of
Mexico. Canalizo, the Provisional President, has
removed, it is said, from the capital to Tacubaya A
second manifesto made by Gen. Paroles has been
sent 10 Congress- and ordered TO be printed by that
body This may be considered an evidence of the
| sympathy Of Congress with the revolutionary chief
tain Efforts were being made to reconcile the diff
ferences between the Executive and Legislative
powers, by means Of friendly conferences
Gen Reyes having accompanied Santa Anna to
Queretaro, Gen. Bassadore, it rumored would
luke the portfolio of the War Department.
CaDazo, on the 18th Of November laid before the
Congress, with view TO its immediate action upon
it, message urging the necessity Of taking me assures
to uuell disturbances and public tranquility
to consider the state of the public treasury with
view to its improvement; and 10 provide for the
strengthening of the bonds of amity between Mexico
and friendly powers.
The propositions imply, to our mind, concession
on the part of the Government But it appears that
Congress adopted resolution the 18th ut at the
instance and under the profered protection of Pare
des, holding the Provisional Government TO ITS res
possibility 10 The Legislature and the country, &C
cordng to the 9th article of the Plan of Tacubaya
Senior Re on Minister of Foreign Affairs the next
day prOteh co, IN the name oil The Government,
against this action OF Congress- and demonstrated
against the recognition of right in any citizen in
open rebellion against the Government, to memorial
ize the Legislature upon matters Of this nature The
| protest is followed by address to the people of
| Mexico issued by Santa Anna the 2lst (the day
upon which he left with the army for Gaud alupe
| This address, which occupies nearly nine columns
| in Ell Censor Of Vera Cruz displays great tact, is
written with much apparent candor and abounds in
| professions Of patriotism and seli-denal. He re-
views the history Of Mexico from 1921 TO the pre-
Sc Mt time and lakes for himself sufficient credit for
his military and civil services during that period
| He disavows having made any attempt to assume
power, dissolve Congress, usurp the functions Of
any OF the departments. He even affects 10 complain
Of the load of responsibilities that had been thrown
upon him by the pau of Tacubuya, which left him
| for time with the weight of absolute authority up
on his shoulders. He protests that he had no desire
to overthrow the bases OF Tacubuys. He reiterates
his determination to re conquer TeXas-a subject
which is to him. according to his own expression,
exceedingly dolorous doioroso lie disavows any
mssppllcaton Of the public funds and ends BY de-
claring bis belief that Providence seeing the Justice
Of his cause, will help him through his troubles and
enable him TO achieve The peace and prosperity Of
the country-his included. This is about the
substance Of what Is said in the immense document
before when dvesled Of the egotism and preten-
sion IN which IT is smothered.
We see no mention of the amount Of force under
Paredes the papers being entirely silent upon that
point
