TENDER, Honolulu to the LIST Of September, and Ta-
hit to the middle of August.
The accounts from Tahiti state that her Britanic
Majesty's ship Collingwood, Admiral Sir George
Seymour, had arrived there and saluted the French
protectorae flag This is rather singular, and seems
to indicate that the English, in order to carry
point in the Pacific, have concluded recognise and
tolerate the French aggressions in that II is
be borne in mind that Sir George Seymour has COM
mand of the English fleet stationed on the north
Pacific coast, and to operate the shores of Ore

vERY LATE FROM MExIco-The packet-barque
Eugenia, Captain Biscoe, arrived yesterday from

She brings no news of importance. Our cores
pondent gives all the intelligence from the interior in

All was quiet at Monterey, in California, on the
Goth Of September. A new governor, with troops,

The United States ship John Adams, Captain

the 6th
| VERA CRuz, Nov. S, l845.
Mexico at present is quiet, though there has lately
been some tumultuous movement in Puebla; and a
short time ago there was an alarm OF revolution in
Mexico, during the night, which induced imme-
date evacuation Of the theatre but it appears that
| the alarm was false one.
Much diversity Of opinion exists on the subject OF
the Texas question. Some few opne that the Next
can government will not dare to accede to the terms
that the United States may propose, and that II is
only trying to gain time, its Golfers in most
| impoverished state; while the great number think
the extreme penury of the country will act sufi-
cent inducement to submit to any terms that will
produce funds enough to meet the actual and most
| pressing exigencles.
The country is in most anomalous position; the
government is central, though all the members of it
are federasss and it is presumed--ndeed, fully cx-
pected-that revolution is preparing for the begin
ming of the year, to upset the present SYSTEM and
establish federalism.
The new tariff is little more favorable to COM
mercc, in some respects than the old one; but the
greatest alteration is still in contemplationnamely,
to admit raw and manufactured cotons of all de-
scrptions and devote part Of the increase Of the
revenue towards the indemnifcation Of the manu-
acturers.
Baron Cyprey, after experiencing every attention
from the authorities, sailed the I'd in the British
packet for Havana, where he waits instructions from
his government.
The press is beginning to call the attention Of the
country to the unequal advantages which Yucatan
enjoys the other departments; but, at the pres
ent moment, it is not likely that the government,
from its total absence of resources will take any
tive steps in the matter, though doubt there ex-
lists every inclination to put that department on an
equal footing with the rest.
| Business is dull, the goods for the fairs having
gone forward. Money is extremely scarce, and no
conducta expected for some time; consequently, the
exchange on the capital may be expected to reach a
ruinous rate to those compelled to draw. Exchange
on New York nominal. Nothing to remit, and
therefore no takers.
