12 DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO.


lie DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO.
Gen. fiereTa elected Presidcat-.No Declaration
q UW yet-Rumors Of The intended hostitities
against Sera-Iro,tbles at ToJasco, Sc.
The u. S. ship Saratoga arrived az Pcnsaco-
la on the 3lst ult., with adviccs from Vera Cruz
to the 18th, and the schooner Juaquina, Can't.
Gomez, at N. Orleans on the LIST inst from
Tampico, with dates from the city of Mex
leo to the 18th ut. twelve days later.
In relation to the adviccs brought by the Sa-
ratoga, the Washington Union says, an opinion
very generally prevailed at Vera Cruz accord
ing to the last accounts, that Mexico wonld not
formally declare war against the United States;
and that the government would be able to re-
a!ize but very small proportion of the loan,
Dany, which had been auttoriced-so low was
the rate interest. 1t was said that, in lieu of
declaration, Mexico would carry on HOSTILE
ties against Texas; and they talked of making
rush upon her with $4,000 men. but this was
generally considered as a skeer fable.
The mail Of the 18th had brought news from
the city Of Mexico Of the election of General
Herrera to the Presidency, and the formation
of a new Cabinet, consisting Of Manuel Pena
Pena, Minister of Foreign Relations; Pedro
Arcaya, Minister Of War, and Fernandez del
Castillo, Minister of the Treasury.
On the 10th August, Capt. Shubrck, Com
mander of the United States ship Saratoga,
exchanged salutes with the batteries of Vera
Cruz.
The news by the arriva! at New Orleans,
mentioned above, is mostly repetition Of the
above. We extract the following from the
Bulletin and Picayune
Capt GormcZ reports, that it was rumored
that Gen. Herrera was elected President and
that there had been seven emissaries sent from
Mexico to Texas, for the purpose of obtaining
the assistance OF the negroes Of Texas in the
wal; that one Of the emissarics had returned
to Mexico and stated that they had succeeded
in their mission 1t was also rumored that
| 800 men were marching from the interior to
Join Gen Pdredcs, who had under his command
1000 men, making his force $500; that they
were on their gnarch to Monterey. Those who
had faith 10 tke truth of this rumor, thought
]
the purpose OF making an attack on Galveston.
| Another rumor was in circulation, that there
were about $500 men under Gen. Arista, at or
near MatamorGg, who would certainly attack
Gen. Taylor on the Rio Grande.
| ain the DiaI'ie of the 18th are two proclama-
tons of Gen. Ar;sta; one addressed TO the peo-
pie of the Departments of Coahuila, Nuevo Lee
on, and TamauPas, calling them to arms; the
other, to the troops under his command, to ex-
cite their martial aIdour. The last is so Gu
rious that we shall publish it entre.'
"Comrades: TIE Supreme Executive has
sent to me by express the news that the United
States, in pursuance of their ambitious views
having taken possession of the Department Of
| Texas, he had demanded a declaration Of war
from the Congress against that unjust nation.
"The time 10 fight is come. We must pre-
pare with the ardour inspired by duty and pa
triotism, when an attack is made upon the sol,
the honor and the pride of the nation.
81 am sure, comrades, that those presumptu-
GUS Americans will be greatly disappointed,
when they find that our soldiers are not so con-
temptibIo as they thought, and that they can
not conquer Them.
~ address you under the influence Of live
ly enthusiasm. Al fancifuI doubt is vanished;
the question is decided; and we arc about to
commence the most righteous war that we ever
waged. Laurels await us, 70 arms! Il is
/ the only means Of avenging oar honor, insult
ed by nation that boasts OF its liberty and CT
ylzltion.
"Arms arc the only arguments to Use against
banditti and men without good faith. Let US
hope for that justice which is invoked by all So
ciety and the decision Of the civilized world.
"Our lot will be cnved by the rest ofthe ar
my-we are nearest the theatre Of war-we are
the first to avenge the outrages on our country,
and to ravsh from the usurpers the object OF
their rapine.
/ Large bodies of troops are on their march
they will soon be here to share our danger and
to repu!sc the enemy.
"Ibe veterans Of the north have given proof
OF their vaor and constancy-they are accus-
toned TO conquer this presumptuous race.

serve your country. 1t is ior this that am
pleased to command you and lead you to the
combat, IN which your comrade and best friend
will be proud to follow your example.
"MARIANO ARISTA."
ToBAsco. The Courier finds the following
in the Vera Cru,ana:
"Passcngers arrived yesterday, report that
l., the department was in complete state of an
archy. The commandant, Gen. Martinez, was
broke and in prison. Col. Bruno held the
reins of power, and no doubt would soon share
the fate of Martinez. The insurgents knew
net what to do. Many persons were leaving
Tobasco, and many others had sought refuge
on hoard a schooner bound to this port"
The reiterated demands of Mexico upon Yu-
catan for troops, have received one uniform re-
sponso-that if Mexico chose to engage in war
with tho Init cd States che ho,r Z loL
Of it; that Yucatan as Department would not
contribute any quota of troops; but that if any
of her citizens chose to volunteer they were at
! liberty TO do 50,
| Taking all the above news into consideration.
