FROM MEXICO
Nru.OnLrANs. Aur. 81

New. ORLEANs, Aug. 81.
The Mexican schooner Roseltn, Capt.
Lapetigue, arrived al this port yesterday,
from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on The
4th INST. By her we have received foil
files of papers, both from Vera Cruz ana
Mexico. The reader will recolIect that
the British sloop Of war Rose, sailed on
the 9Th inst. but as she did not bring tall
flies, we have few items OF intelligence
before US, which have not been anticipated.
Among other documents which We Ind
in these papers, is the correspondence be-
tween the Spanish Minister and the Mex
lean Government, in relation to the execn.

The las, letter we have seen Of Don Oliver
is dated the 2lst Of July, aud the reply
thereto, the goth.
The interminable correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Green and Bocanegra, 10 regard
to the Texas question, occupies whole CO.
umns of the files before US. We look up
on it rather as display Of diplomatic dla,
ectics than a correspondence which can
lead 10 any important results.
Under date Of the 23d July, Sr. Reyes,
the Secretary of War, communicated TO
the Departments the quota Of troops which
were allotted to each Of them TO raise I'M
der the decree of Congress of the Cd OF Ju.
: ", towards the 10000 troops, for the re-
conquest Of Texas.
The President, through his Secretary,
eyhorts the Governors of the different De-
partments to enter zcalous y upon the work
Of making these evies or conscrlpiions, The
; honor and independence Of The nation being
" at stake, as he says.
! On the Sth Of July, small national YES
sci called Reyeca, was lost in the Imme'
: diate vicinity of MazatIan. She had but
y recently sailed from San Bias.
. We find a great variety of communlca.
tons in the Mexican papers, contributed
by volunteers, which are devoted to hints
and suggestions as TO the best mode OF con-
. Quoting the campaign against Texas. II
y dues indeed look as though Santa Anna

II reconsider the reflections we expressed on
the subject some short time since.
