We copy from the New Orleans Tropic
of~the 9TH instant the subioined Mexican
Intelligence; brought by the schooner
Creole, which left Vera Cruz on the cath
~0ltinIo:
Gen. Bustamente arrived at Vera Cruz
on the 18th uitimo, and offered his services
10 sustain the integrity of the Mexican ter
sItory and the dignity Of the Republic. He
was rather coclly received by the Govern
ment, and it is reported that he refused
the military honors rendered him Oh his
arrival. It was believed his return was
not invited by any party, and that lie had
no desire to meddle in public affairs.
The people generally were quiet, and
not at all alarmed, notwithstanding the
war cries made by the Federnli~ts and the
partsans Of Santa Anna, who are loud IN
denouncing the Government for want OF
energy. The s!ateo Of the public treasury
was presumed to be pretty low, as the Of
icers in the employ Of the Government
found great difficulty in obtaining one
fourth Of their salaries.
The acting President, General CanaIiso,
and ex-Minister Of War, Gen, Basadra, not
accepting the propositions made lhem by
Government, to be eXpatriated for ten
years, have been imprisoned for the same
term, the former in the castle of Perote,
and the latter in that of San Juan de Ul-
