TWELVE DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO.
The Mexican schooner Joaquina, Capt Gomez,
arrived at this port yesterday from Tampico whence
she sailed ON the Odd ult. She brought us neither
letters papers, but goodly quantity Of rumors.
Our evening contemporary, the Courier, was for
tunate as TO receive copy of the "Diario del Go
bierno" of the 18th Of August, which s just twelve
days later than any paper from the capital hitherto
received here.
| We have not word by this arrival as to the ac-
ton of Congress upon the propositions submitted to
the 2lst of July, in regard to the fifteen million
loan. Il is conectured by some, that the dilator-
ness of Congress to accede TO all the war demands
of the administration, led to the resignation of the
ministers.
And now few words as to the military designs
of Mexico 1t is stated by Capt. Gomez that il
was reported in Tampico that 500 men from the
interior were on their march to join Parcdes. With
his forces, which would then amount to 3, 500 mon,
according to this rumor Paroles was to move upon
Texas, striking the Rio Grande as high up the
Bexar country Gen. Arsta, with his 900 men, was
to proceed boldly and directly TO attack Gen. Tay-
Tor IN his encampment at Corpus Christi. II is said
moreover, that Arsta has employed emissarics 10
Texas to tamper with the slaves, and that he hopes
to render them effective in the promotion Of his
plans. How confident he is of success, the reader
may Juuke from an duurc6S 10 mis- troops which ap-
peared in the Diario Of the 18th ult together with
an appeal to the inhabitants Of Coahuila, Nueva
Leon, and Tamaulipaa. The latter document was
intended merely 10 SUR up the inhabitants TO arms;
but the address TO his troops is moro formidable
affair." and we copy il a. We find i translated in the
Courier If Aristas troops fight a quarter as
bravely as he talks, alas for the honor of American
arms!
"Comrades: The 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 do
manded declaration of war from the Congress
against that unjust nation.
"The time to fight is come. We must prepare,
with the ardor inspired by duty and patriotism,
when an attack is made upon the soil, the honor
and pride Of the nation.
81 am sure, comrades, that those presumptuous
Americans will be greatly disappointed, when they
find that soldiers not contemplate they
| thought and that they cannot conquer them.
81 address you under the influence Of lively en-
thusasm. All fancful doubt is vanished; the ques-
ton is decided; and we are about TO commence the
most righteous war that we ever waged. Laurels
await us To arms! II is the only means of aven-
gng our honor, insulted by nation that boasts Of
its lIberalty and civilization.
EARNS are the only arguments to use against BAN
dtti and men without good faith Let us hope for
that justice which is invoked by all society and the
decision of the civilized world
sour lot will be envicd by the rest of the army.
We are nearest the theatre of the first to
avenge the outrages on our country, and to ravish
from the usurpers the object of their rapinc.
Large bodies of troops on their march-they
will soon be here to share our dangers and repuse
the enemy.
"The veterans of the North have given proofs Of
their valor and constancy-they are accustomed to
conquer this presumptuous race. know your
worth, and how dearly you love to serve your
country. 1t is for this that am pleased to COM
| mand you, and lead you to combat, in which your
comrade and best friend will be proud to follow
your example.
The reiterated demands Of Mexico upon Yucatan
for troops, have received one uniform response
that if Mexico chose to engage in war with the
United States, she must bear the brunt of IT. that
Yucatan, as department, would not contribute any
quota of troops but that if any fher citizens chose
to volunteer, they were at liberty to do so.
| Taking all the above news into consideration,
war does not appear to be imminent a. it looked
some weeks since; but the internal affairs Of
Mexico, Judging by the glimpse at them which ono
paper Affords are In most interesting and critical
condition. We look for news from that country

| MORE REcRuITs.-By reference to the report Tin
another column) of Col James II. Dakin, COM
manding the regiment of Louisiana Volunteers, adj
dressed to Lieut.. Col. L. E. Forstall, il will be
seen that the former announces, agreeably to Brig
ade Order No 8, dated the 2lst ult., that his reg-
ment has recently recruited, and now consists of
ten companies and six hundred men, ready to be
mustered into the service of the United States, to

equalled despatch, and speaks well, not only Of
gallant citizens, but also Of COL Dakin and his eff
cent officers.

were leaving Tobasco, and many others had sought
refuge on board schooner bound to this port"

as ready for service. She dropped down to the an
