q LATE FROM MEXICO.

The Mexican steamer Nept,ala, Captain PAR
KrNsoN, arrived at Charleston on Thursday, in thu
short run Of three days from Havana. This vesse
for supply of fuel.
Capt. PARKINSON states that the British mai
steamer Med,cay arrived at Havana on the 7th in
slant from Vera Cruz, which port she left on the
LIST, having on board as passengers General SANTA
ANNA, Lady, and Family, who had been banished
from the Mexican territories They were to pro-
coed to Venezuela. The British mail steamer Dee
also arrived at Havana on the 18th instant, with
Gen. BUsTAMENTE on board, on his way to Mexico.
General SANTA ANNA was received with every
demonstration of respect on his arrival at Havana,
being escorted to his lodgings by bands of music,
while little attention was paid to General BUsTA-
MENTE thus showing that popular opinion was
quite unfavorable to the newly-constuted authori-
ties Of Mexico.
No particulars are given as to the course pursued
by the Mexican Government in banshing SANTA
ANNA but Capt. p. understood that the decree pre-
scribed an absence OF ten years. that his private
property was respected; that he had with him a
large amount Of money, and was in good personal
health and spirits.
In one of the Havana papers it is recorded that
the French Legation had been insulted in the streets
Of Vera Cruz just previous to the sailing of the
Med,cay, and that the Minister had demanded from
the Mexican Government immediate reparation for
the ndgnity offered, or the alternative of furnishing
him with his passports.
IL is stated that all anticipations Of war bet,oeen
the United States and MeEico had subsidized and
strong practical evidence that such was the case
(says the Charleston Courier) is the fact that the
Nepfs1,a, the property Of Mexicans, had been or
dered to New York to reft which would, Of course,
not have been done if the owners were apprehen-
sive of such an event.

AMERICAN CoINAGE.-We are glad to learn from
paragraph in the official paper that the Secretary
Of the Treasury has directed his attention to this
subject; and that the sum of $25O,OOO has been
drawn from various deposite banks in Mexican dol
lars &c. and sent to the Mint and Branch Minis to
be coined into dimes and half dimes. This addi-
tiona supply Of these useful coins will greatly add
to the convenience Of the public, under the operation
Of the new post office law. More, we are told, will
be sent, to the full extent authorized by law. And
also that the next issue will probably be of quar-
tiers, when sufficient number of dimes and hal
dimes shall be coined

GEN. HoUsToN.-A New Orleans correspondent
of the New York Morning News handles this in
dividual without gloves. He gays his declaration
that he has been coquettng'' all along with Eng
land, is false; that he is known in Texas to be a
bitter anti-annexatonst that upon all occasions, in
moments of questionable and UNREASONABLE sobrie-
ty-in all companies-in stages, in steamboats, and
at taverns-he has been known to denounce the pro-
Ject of annexation in the btterest and most
sured terms. The writer represents him as entire
ly under the influence Of the British and French Of
ficials-as employing, in the embassy to England,
man VIGOROUSLY opposed to annexation-and as,
in fine, doing every thing he could to prevent it.
We thought from the first that Gen. Houston took
rather an awkward way of getting out of the scrape,
and this writer confirms us in the opinion. He
speaks of certain magnificent schemes of Houston
connected with the independence of Texas-such
establishing ree-rade in that country, and break
ing us down--conquering Misunderstanding in the
halls of Montezuma, and other such stereotyped
stuff OF Locofocoism. The evidence is too strong
against him. His recantaton comes too late. He
is known as an anti-annexationst, and he cannot
convince the world that he is any thing else. A
man might get off from any charge under the same
plea, and the stronger the evidence against him the
better 1t is like Falstaf7s pretending to know fhe
Prince, after he had convicted him of lying. II
