The United States squadron under Com.
Conner, consisting Of the lrgato Potomac, sloor
OF war Falmouth, and brigs Lawrence and So
mers, arrived at Pensacola OF the Esd ut, il
ten days from Vera Cruz. We copy the fol-
lowing intelligence from the New Orleans Pic
ayune.
The officers and crew of the squadron were
well. The yellow fever was prevailing to 4
considerable extent at Vera Cruz The only
war vessels left in port were the French briggs
Grihon and Mercurc. The schooner Creole
was the only American vessel there when the
squadron sailed, and little other shipping in
port.
The following important letter is from a

VERA Cruz, June IL, 1915.
An attempt at another revelation was made
at the city of Mexico on the 9th inst which
at one time had most serious appearance. A
regiment broke through the guard stationed at
the Government Palace and took the President
and Secretary of Foreign Relations prisoners;
but the revolutionists were Immediately after
wards put down by the citizens and soldiers,
and the above distinguished personages set at
liberty. In this affair colonel. a captain, and
about thirty Of the privates belonging to the
malcontcns were killed, when quiet was once
more restored. Many men in high station at
Mexico are suspected of having hand in
causing this new outbreak, and it is said that
eX-Secretary Tornel has been arrested and i'm
prsoned.
With respect to politics, Texas is the allah
soGbing topic of the day, and all eyes are turn
ed in the direction of that country in anxious
expectation of the final solution of the pend
ing question. The Government and people
generally are pretty well satisfied that nothing
can prevent annexation. The former sees
the moment arrive with regret when it must
declare par or fall, and the latter wait with
the greatest anxiety the arrival of the time
for the Government to take step which,
but for them, would have been taken long
since, without even rejecting on the consc-
quences-the declaration of hostlities against
the u $. As one OF your celebrated editors sa VS.,
nous rerronS. In the meanwhile, the Govern
ment is noselessly marching troops from Mexi-
CO into the interior; and although their desti-
nation is said TO b California, still the know
ledge of the fact that in that department the
Government has no need, or immediate need,
OF more soldiers than are there now, would lead
one to suppose that the zeal destination of those
at present on the march northward is the from
tier of Texas, or that vicinity.
1t would be folly, perfect madness, for a
country like this, distracted and without means,
to go to war with the United States, and for a
territory that does not belong to them, but |
still think the measure will be resorted to. In
my mind the matter does not admit of doubt
if Texas is annexed Mexico will declare
war. Foreign merchants are purchasing up all
the cochlneal that can be bought, and remit
ting il to Europe by every opportunity.
Yours, sc. &c.
