LATER FROM MEXICO.

LATER FROM MEXICO.
From the New Orleans papers of the
I'd and Sd inst, we have some later news
from Mexico.
New Orleans, June 2.
The British frigate Eurydice arrived OFT the
bar at the Balize on Saturday, and she IS no"
living at anchor there. One or two gentlemen
who came in this ship from Vera Cruz, and
several of her officers, arrived in town yester-
dav by the tow boat Star. We have been
furnished with a few items OF Information
from Vera Cruz Of date as late as the 22d
nit. !
Regarding the treaty between Texas and
Mexico, the Mexican Government finds itself
in dilemma which precipltate action might
render dangerous. They have raised wal
spirit which they discover they cannot queif'
and which even to conciiate appears to bel
hazardous. Notwithstanding the large ma
iority which the treaty or the authority to trea'
obtained in the Mexican Congress, having
passed the Chamber by vote OF 43 to IL, and
the Senate by 80 to 6, the measure IS exceed
lingly unpopular with the people. The adhe-
rents of Santa Anna, and indictments OF every
hue and kind, encourage all forms OF OPPOSE
ton to the existing government. hno"lng
the inability of Mexico to engage with the u
States in war, and confident she cannot rely
upon England for assistance, they represent
to the ignorant mutitudes the invasion OF this
country is task Of easy accomplishment ana
that the British Government only waits the
word to Join them against US. The people
are therefore madly in favor OF war, and the
adoption of any course by the existing govern
ment having a peaceful tendency, VIII more
than probably result in its overthrow. Inc
friends of Santa Anna and the opposition gen.
orally stimulate this warlike spirit to the Ut
most; and one of two things is rendered ale
most certain, either that the existing govern
ment will declare war against the United
States, or that new revolution Will speedily
break out and sweep it from existence:
No attempts are made in Mexico TO disguise
the deep and active interest W hlch Great Bril-
tain takes in every thing calculated to prevent
the effectuaton of the annexation measnre.-
I 1t is said that to accomplish her ends she OF
fers to pay the debts of Texas, and to assume
for Mexico ten millions of her English bonds,
guaranteeing independence to the one, and Sc
curity from the inroads of the United States to
the other.
Capt. Elliott, and the officers of the frigate,
who came up, are stopping at the st. Charles
Hotel.
The Texan or English commissioner,
''whose name is never heard" was TO leave
Vera Cruz on the 23d inst. for Galveston, in
the French brig-of-war La Perouse.
Governor Shannon arrived few days pre-
vious to the sailing of the Eurydlce, at Vera
Cruz, and would leave in short time tor the
| United States.
Business in Vera Cruz is ve.y dull. This
is attributed almost wholly to the prohibitory
tariff regulations now in force. 1t is conf
Identity assertod- that Coaoxass ..w isllOesATfrs
OF the government will require an alteration
which will encourage trade and bring more
money to the Treasury.
Jefersonian Republican.
Ne,v Orleans, June 3.
Private letters received here from Mexico
by the British frigate "Eurydice," state it as
matter almost of certainty, that before lone
the Mexican government will declare wal
against the United States. We have seen
some of these letters, and they all 90 to con-
firm the statements to this effect made in oul
paper Of yesterday. So hostile to this coun-
try and 20 Texas is the tone Of public senti-
ment In Mexico, that it is generally believed
the government must either 60 to war, or suf-
fer an overthrow by new revolution. In this
posture Of affairs, it will probably adopt the
alternative involving least peril to its men,
bers, trusting to the chances which the future
may afford to save the republic from the con
sequences of a conflict with this county,
From one of the letters referred to, dated Vera
Cruz, May 22d, we have been kindly per.
mitted to make the following extract:
"Captain Elliott and Commissioner Of
Texas are at this place, waiting for the arrival
of letters from Mexico, which it is said, will
arrive to-day. They will sail direct for Gal
weston in the French brig STA Perouse."-
The "Eurydice" will sail for your port with
dispatches for the British government. In
addition TO the propositions made by England
to both Texas and Mexico, to settle the rela-
tons of these countries to each other and to
the United States, in manner agreeable to
her policy, am assured there are inducements
offered OF rather tempting nature. They are
as tollows:-England compromises herself with
: Mexico to pay ten millions of her national
debt, and with Texas she agrees to pay the
whole of hers, which is computed at eight
millions. This, if true-and l have got it
from very good authority-proves that En-
gland has some very deep-laid project with
regard to Texas : one much more important
to her than the advantages she might derive
from the simple determination of Texas to 1e-
main independent, confirmed by the consent
Of Mexico.
Those English who speak of the controver-
sy between Mexico and the United States
about Texas, never fail to introduce the Dues
ton of slavery, and regard its abolition in the
little republic as a consequence which will
speedily follow the determination on her mart
to remain independent. But from what can
learn, | cannot think that any proposition
which England may make, however tempting
1t may be, can now defeat the annexation.
Governor Shannon arrived here Yesterday
He will go in the "Anahuac" to New York.
unless Com. Conner offers him man-of war.
