Mexico.

A letter from Pensacola notices the condition
Of Mexico at the present time in the following
terms .
"Mexico is in distracted state, having no
settled policy OF men TO govern the affairs other
Government. The States of Tobasco and Pue-
bio have already declared in avor Of the feder-
al constitutions; and general meeting had been
held in Vera Cruz by the citizens a few days
before the S,mpr. sailed for the same purpose,
hut active measures were suspended in complis
ance with the request of the Governor, who is
very popular among all parties. Several ar.
rests of military officers had been made in dn.
terent parts the Republic. charged with revo'
lutonary designs, and in one instance a quaint,
~ Of arms were taken from them. The present
Government, it is ;hought, cannot sustain itself
much longer and the idea of declaring war a.
gainst the United States is not entertained by
any rejecting man who is acquainted with the
actual condition of that country.
The present srmy OF MEXICO is said to con.
sist OF Il,0O0 officers and less then 10000 SOL
diers Santa Anna was still confined in the
Castle Of Perote, but no doubt would soon be-
liberated, il not already free to d.. part at plea
sure. The impression tina, he will again be- re-
instated in power il generally entertained, and
many think it will take place before the expra-
ton of six months. When the English merchants
at Vera Cruz, hcar! of Senor Canrlo' sdeparturr,
! they chartered schooner for New Orleans,
which s,et the 10Th inst; the following evening
he s ,mers came up and passed about O'Clock,
II vessel very much like her in appearance stand
/ ing upon the same course. Mr.. Shannon, late
/ American Minister, had engaged his passage in
/ an American vessel, and would. sail about thu
( 10th inst for New York. Itdoes not appear
that he possessed any knowledge Of the political
affair in the Capital of Mexico, and he is not con-
-dered in any other light than an obscure a.
lnericau cit zen, whose name S never alluded 10
one at all connected with the important trans
nc,ion of The day The Yellow Fever begins to
show itself IA Vera Cruz; which, bellve, is al
ways the case at this season of the year.
