NINE DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO.


rHE ORLEANS PIcAYUNE OF JULY "a.
By the arrival of the brig Del6na, from Vera
Cruz, whence she sailed on the Sd instant we have
full files of papers from the capital 10 the 2sth Of
June-nine days later than were received by the
Creole. Although they contain no event of com
handing interest yet the details Of Mexican affairs
are not without importance to those who concern
themselves with the progress of affairs in that
try at this crisis of her history.
Verbally we learn that the Mexican Government
was to send twenty thousand men Immediately to
the frontier of Texas. Where these men were to
be raised is poser of itself, but where the means
to procure money enough even 10 start them on
such fools errand is even a greater mystery.
We give this rumor as we received it, and in the
mean time proceed to such matters as we find in
our files.
Not word is said in the papers Of the capital
about war with the United States. Some Of the
secret sessions Of the Senate may have been occu-
pied with the subject, but nothing is divulged.
On the goth of June decree Of Gen. HERRERA
was promulgated, but dated the 18th, in which he
formally calls an extra session of Congress- to con-
vene on the - instant, for the purpose Of taking
into consderaon-lst, Constitutional Reforms I'd, rev
sion Of the acts Of the Provisional Government and, 3d.

those of the United States and Texas
This indicates clearly enough that Mexico has yet de-
ermined what line Of policy to pursue towards us. The
country is distracted by divisions among its Leading poli

after their personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
