FURTHER INTELLIGENCE.

Since our last publication, we have seen sew
eral letters and papers that were not in our pos
session when we made our resume of the in
tellgence brought by the Laurens. These
throw darker shade over the fortunes. of San
ia Anna, and give more imposing front to
the revolution headed by Paredes, Some Of
the statements in the letters we have seen are.
of course. coniectural, and made by parties who
are not Of the dictator's faction; yet they come
to rs in a shape that entitle them to all the
credit that can be given to the representations
Of persons who speak what they think of a
cause that they do not espouse.
A letter from Vera Cruz, dated On the 30th
November, states that the revolution in Jalis-
co, presents each day an aspect more formida-
BILE. Gen. Paredes, IS said to be at the head Of
s or 10000 men, and the south is uniting with
the disaffected. Zacatecas, Aguis Cahentes,
and part of San Luis Potosi have seconded or
approved Of the Prost,mciamiento of Paroles,
while it is asserted that Oajaca has also de-
clared against Santa Anna. The latter has
positively declared against the Congress, while
that body is daily publishing every document
Sentinel of the valley. [volume] (Woodstock, Va) 1841-1848, 1844-12-26

consent to the independence of Texas,
or TO abandon the effort to reconquer
that republic. She thus announces a
perpetual claim, which at the end Of
"a century, will furnish her as plausible
a ground for discomfort against any
nation which, at the end Of that time,
may enter into a treaty with Texas, as
she possesses at this moment against
the United States. The lapse Of time
can add nothing to her title to inde-
pendence.
A course OF conduct such as has
been described on the part of Mexico,
in violation of all friendly feeling and
of the courtesy which should charac-
terize the intercourse between the ma
tons of the earth, might well Justify
the United States in resort to any
measures to vindicate their national
honor; but actuated by sincere desire
to preserve the general peace, and in
view of the present condition of Next
co, the executive, resting upon its in
tegrity and not fearing but that the
! judgement Of the world will duly APP
-preciate its motives, abstains from re-
commencing to Congress resort to
measures Of redress, and contents itself
with reurging upon that body prompt
and immediate action on the subject OF
annexation. BY adopting that meas
ure, the United States will be in the
exercise of an undoubted right; and If
Mexico, not regarding theirforbearance,
shall aggrayate the injustice Of her
conduct by declaration Of war against
them, upon her head will rest all the
responsibility.

LATER FROM MEXICO.

By the arrival yesterday of the bar
cue Laurens, Capt. Thompson, from
Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the
ID instant, we have intelligence eleven
days later than previously received.
A verbal report was circulated very
generally through the city yesterday,
and created not little interest, to the
effect that the Hon. Calab Gushing, our
minister>to China, had arrived as far as
the city of Mexico on his way home, land
that the barque Eugenia was detained
at Vera Cruz to convey him to New
York. Farther than this we could
learn nothing, the papers we have seen
saying not a word upon the subject
Whether Mr.. Gushing has settled his
business with the Celestials, or wheth-
er there has been a misunderstanding
with the brother of the sun and moon,
are matters ofwhich we are profound
" ignorant. If MIR. Gushing is really
on his way hence and the captain OF
the Laurens states positively that he is
he has taken the nearest and quick
est route. We shall wait anxiouSly for
farther intelligence upon this subject.
From the complexion Of verbal re-
ports, land the papers we havereceiyed,
it would seem that Santa Anna, al
though still at the head Of numerous
army, ana on the march towards the
disafected districts, is stir surrounded
with difficulties and a congress little
disposed to show him much favor or
lend him that assistance his exigencies
demand. But he is a bold and I'M
i.scrupnlous play er in the game Of ambi-
ton and supremacy, and may yet be
able to brush theFesolution unless Par
