In the Ex.Governor's denunciation Of intolerance
and prescription have only to find fault with the
bombast. Certainly No man worthy OF the prvi-

If unprinciplrd dsmagogues, of their own party
in whose work the Ex-Governor himself has had
his share-has had very great deal to do in the
introduction of this spirit Of intolerance, proscrr

injudcous Introduction OF O'CcnneIlism into tn 8

LATE FROM MExlco-Tne Eugena, Captain Bis
coe, from Vera Cruz, arrived Yesterday, with a
file Of papers from the city Of Mexico 10 the 9th of
Inly inclusive, and advices from Vera Cruz to the
l4rh, two days later.
We learn from Captain Biscoe that an army of
5000 men was in preparation to march against
Texas, and was expected to reach Matamoras in
November. The Congress had not liked upon q
Eldn for raising the four millions OF dollars required
tor the war, but no doubt was entertained that the
money would be obtained, somehow.
All the foreign ministers had interceded with
Santa Anna for such OF their respective coun,rymen

his Quixolc expedition, but the President had an

soners would be tried as pirates, and, il found
guilty, as pirates dealt witk.
Mr. Green was still Carrying on his paper war
with Senior Bocanegra.
The markets at Vera Cruz were inactive as usual
at this tiHie Of the year. There was but little de-
maud for goods Of any kind, and prices had moi
risen in proportion to the increase Of duties under
the new tariff; but stocks on hand were small and
from this eau E, well as from the stability of thu
present government, an Improvement was looked

Juan be held as usual, and as was anticipated.
