LATE FROM MEXICO.

The arrival at New orleans Of the
schooner Water. Witch has put us in nos.
session of intelligence from Vera Cruz ia
the 3lst ul,imo, and from the city Of Me,.
leo 10 the 22d, which we compile from III.
New Orleans papers as follows:
Santa Anna still remains a prisoue, =,
Pesoie, awaiting the action Of his Judges.
The treatment he received was much rn;,
igated. aud his friends in the dillereu, De.
partments were gathering strength aod
courage 10 a degree that was believed 10
cause some apprehension to the existing
Government, aud to induce the delay and
hesitation which are eYinced in disposir,
of him. Indeed, il is not considered i'm.
probable that, under the pretence Of pros.
ceuting a war with the United S,uie. hs
, may yet be invested with The command nc
the army, and through that means rein.
state himself in power.
The British sloop-of.war Eurydire sail
ed from Vera Cruz on the ooh ulimo for
Galveston, with dispatches for the British
Minister in Texas, and also. il was renor.
ted, for the Texan Government. A preo,
many rumors preyuiled with regard 10 the
nature Of these communications. |, WI,
generally credited, however, that they Con.
famed u complete recognition on the par;
Of Mexico Of tho independence Of Texas.
IN the condition that she rejected the pro.
posed annexation to the United States.
! Tie Texas question, as may be suppo,.
cd, creates much excitement in Mexico.
On the 2ls, Of March the Chnmbe, Of
/ Deputies took into consideration the sub
Iect Of annexation. Resolutions were IN.
i. PRODUCED, and warmly supported, FOR de.
claring the provisions Of the Treaty Of
5 1891 (ra,ifed in ls32) al nm end; for clos.
; Ing the ports Of Mexico against ell vessel.
: Of the United States, md prohibiting III.
I introduction of our manufactures; std,
+. finally, that no proposition from our Gov.
e ,rnmen, for the restoration Of friendly re.
b laiiaus should be listened 10, save upon tho
0 conditiJn that The United States should
renounce altogether the plan Of unnssaliou.
Z. Al the last accounts, the passage Of Ito
+. resolutions through the Senate was kno~n
t but their fual passage through the ilou.e
I as amended, was unknown. The rres
y appeared disposed 10 think that the Houss
i would not accept them. There is, of
j course, much Indignation expressed a be
: idea Of annexalion, and many harsh things
o said of this Government. T.! Mosiir
