NINE DAYS LATER FROM MExICo,

men 10 be sent 10 The Ierus Frontier-Defails
Of 1Nerican .a6airs.
From the n. o. Picayune, July 9th.
By the arrival of the brig DeLfna. Capt. Pc.
cal, from Vera Cruz. whence she sailed on the
Sd inst, we have full files of papers from the
capital 10 the 29th Of June-nino days later
than were received by the Creole.
Verbally, we learn that the Mexican Gov.
eminent was to send 10000 men Immediately
TO the frontier of Texas. Where these men
were 10 be raised is poser of itself, but where
the means to procure money enough even to
start Them on such fools errand is even
greater mystery, unless British gold is at the
bottom.
Not word is said in the papers of the cap
iial about war with the United States. Some
Of the secret sessions of the Senate NAV have
been occupied With the subject, but nothing is
divulged.
On the 20h of June decree of Gen. Her
rera was promulgated, but dated the 10Th, in
which he formally calls an extra session of
Congress, to convene on the -,h inst, for the
purpose of taking into consideration-ls,.
Constitutional Reform ID. revision of the
acts Of the Provisional Government: and. Sd.
subjects now pending the action of the Cham
bers, especially those of the United States and
Texas.
This indicates clearly enough that Mexico
has not yet determined what line Of policy TO
pursue towards US. The country is so dis.
.racted by divisions amongst its leading poll
ticians and military men, that the Government.
is unable to concentrate public opinion upon
any fixed plan of operations. The people
camor for war and the integrity of the soil Of

them, are looking after their personal aggran-
dizement.
We alluded in former number TO certain
rumors about raising additional troops. This
project has now assumed dstinc, form. Ii
is proposed to enlist large number of recruits,
under the name of "Volunteer Defenders of
the Laws" TO be distinct from the regular
army, although organized on the same footing
as to discipline, &c. This force is to be sub
jeci exclusively 10 the local civil authorities.
each volunteer having the privilege to serve in
the infantry or cavalry. The Committee on
Military Affairs in the House have also re.
ported a plan for the complete reorganization
of the regular army; but this, too, has not
yet received the sanction OF Congress. 1t Isl
apparent, nevertheless. that the eyes OF the
Mexicans are open to the necessity of providing
further securities for domestic tranquility, and
for giving more compactness and force 10 the
national troops.

breaks, and adu, that the unanimous indigna-
ton of the Republic is the only feeling it will
excite.
Gen. Rangel has been sentenced by court
mar,ial-for his late revolutionary attempt in
the city Of Mexico, in which he treated the
President and his cabinet with such indigniiy
to ten years. Imprisonment, ,oittout the loss
Of his ra,ik-a truly Mssiaan punishment for
treason.
The Obserrador Zacatano of the 10Th June
announces that Gen. Paroles. commanding the
Third Division of the Army, would transfer his
headquarters from Lagos to the capital of the
Department of San Luis Potos, and he was 10
move that or the following day.
The Presidential canvass continues to occu-
DIV most of the attention of the different jour
nails, but it is carried on with much moderation
on paper. The reform of the Organic Bases
also calls out great deal Of public discussion.
The Sigh, which is strongly in favor Of reform,
devotes a long leader. powerfully written. al
most daily TO the subject.
Gen. Bustamente reached the capital on the

TO the Government, 10 maintain the national
claim upon Texas. Ii was thought these ser
vices would be accepted.
