LATEST FROM MRxIco-Leers from Pensacola Of the LIST
September contain dispatches from Vera Cruz of the 18th and
2st August We have only me this evening, to state the
substance of the information they convey An opinion very
generally prevailed Vera Cruz according the last
counts that Mexico would formally declare against
the United States and that the Government would be able to
realize but very small proportion of the loan, any, which
had been auhorzed-so low the of interest II
said that in lieu of declaration, Mexico would carry hos
es vigorously against Texas and they talked Of making
rush upon her with 900 but this generally
sidered sheer fable.
The mail of the 18th had brought from the city o
Mexico of the election of General Herrera TO the Presidency
and the formation of a new Cabinet consisting of Manue
Pena Pena, minister of Foreign Relations Pedro Areaya
minister of War; and Fernandez del Castillo, minister
the Treasury
| On the 10th August, Capt. Shubrick commander of III
United States ship Saratoga exchanged aues with the bal
teres Of Vera Cruz.
