FROM VERA CRUZ.

l-Rvy,he arrival of the schooner Creole, Des-
/ ache, master from Vera Cruz, whence she
sailed on the III ult., We have full files from
the city of Mexico to the 25th OF Octooer'
thirteen DAYS later than we received oy the
Mississippi and Princeton.
We learn verbally, that the general impress
sion at Vera Cruz, when the Creole sailed,
was, that all difficulties between the Uuiteo
States anG Mexico were in a fair way TO De
amicably settled. ltmay be that Mexico may
vet desire the interference of our Government
to help her out of her difficulties with France
and perhaps with England: stranger things
have occurred.
La Voz del Pueblo Gan opposition journal OF
the city of Mexico) furnishes the foundation
Of the report that negotiations were likely TO
be resumed between the United States and
Mexico. 1t states that in secret session OF
the two Chambers of Congress, on the 14th
of October, the Minister Of Foreign affairs COM
municated to them that the Consul Of the u.
States resident at Mexico, had transmitted to
him dispatches from the Cabinet at Washing
ton, the tenor oil, which were as follows:-
That. desiring to avoid hostilities between two
Republics which ought to be firmly united by
sympathy and thousand ties of mutual inter-
est, the Government at Washington was dis
posed to submit the affair of Texas to negotla-
ton; and, that in order to arrive at a determln-
alton of the matter at once reasonable and
honorable to both parties, it would send an
Envoy Extraordinary, should the Mexican
Government be disposed to receive him. The
Government Of Mexico replied that the rela-
tions between the two countries being broken,
it could not receive the Envoy in public
character, but would admit him as the simple
private bearer of the message in question; upon
the condition that . first of all, the U. States
Government would Withdraw it's squadron
| from the waters of Vera Cruz. The Minister
added, that without prejudice to these infor.
NAL communications, the Mexican Govern
ment would continue to take measures to pro-
tect the nation from coup-de-main on the part
of the United States.
! Although these communications were de-
ciared vigorously secret, and to be kept per-
fectly inviolate, the editor of La pOz assures
us that he has obtained the foregoing from an
excellent source O. and ADDS: ''Can we not
discover in this hypocritical conspiracy 3
Mexicans! to what point are you content to
endure!" Or as a school boy would say,
''Quousque tandem, abufre," sc.
The master of the Creole reports that when
he sailed from Vera Cruz, the United States
squadron had taken its departure. This may
|
be corr oct. That report, however initiates al
together with the repeated declarations made
in the Union as TO the intentions of our Cow
eminent. 1t is not to be denied, however,
that the general impression here since the
Mississippi arrived (and in Vera Cruz at last
acoountS) has been, that an informal under
standing exists between the two Governments
that diplomatic relations should be resumed
Ell Siglo of the 10th confirms generally the
reports Of its contemporary, and leaves hardly
a doubt that some one has obi timed an express
sion Of opinion from the Mexican Cabinet as
to reopening negotiations, whether he was
authorized to do SO by the Cabinet at WASH
ington, or proceeded upon his own RESPONSE
bility.
The ZemponAecn Of Jalapa announces the
arrival there on the evening of the 18th ult., of
the Baron Alleye de Cyprey, the ex-Mnis ter
Of France, with his family, accompanied by a
strong escort. His ExceIlency according 10
this authority, had been treated with the great
est respect, and without the slightest insult
We have no accounts of the arrival of the
Baron at Vera Cruz, (our papers thence not
being soslate from the capital, but as we learn
verbally that the French vessels lying at Vera
Cruz had sailed before the Creole left, we
presume that his Excel!ency has taken his final
leave of the Republic of Mexico.
The Mexican Congress was engaged on the
2lst ult. with law proposed by the Govern
ment-that the enlistment Of ''the defenders Of
independence and the laws" should be enforc-
ed upon every citizen, from the day of attain
ing his majority until the age of 6fy. The
RI Same day a proposition was introduced by
several deputies. that the prohibitory laws in
regard TO the admission Of goods which come
In competition with any branch of national in
dustry should not be suspended before hearing
the opinion Of at least two thirds of the Assem-
bles Of the Departments.
The Minister of War had introduced meas
ure providing for the free introduction of fire
arms into the Republic in order that every cit.
lzen may provide"himself at the cheaper rate
with the means Of ''defending the country and
the national independence
The attention Of Congress appeared to be
very much occupied with the details of the
tariff, the friends OF protection, as we should
call it here, resisting an immediate alteration
Of the rates of duties promulgated upon sever
al specified articles.
, Among the members elect to the next Sen.
: ate Of Mexico we note the names Of Generals
Bustamente, Almonte, Pedraza, Cuevas, and
others whose names are familiar in the United
States.
-, The papers of Vera Cruz are clamorous fo
=. . the Government 10 proceed in the matter o.
the projected railroad between that port and
= the capital. The fear is, that unless the pres
ent opportunity Of constructing the road be
u embraced, foreign capitalists will not again BIZ
. found ready to embark in so extensive pro
. ject. The railroad is thoroughly English
. design. and should be watched In its progress
Great complaints are made that the troop.
in San Juan de Ulua. and in the vicinity o
). Vera Cruz. are greatly suffering for want O
clothing. The Government is called upo,
. loudly TO supply money at least for the neees
:. saries of existence for the troops.
