 FROM MkxIco -The U. 5. hrg Somers, Commander Gerry, arrived al Pensacola Monday night last, in days from Vera Cruz. A gentle man who has laid ns under many oblisa ions hereto lore, has furnished Us wi,h Sa:hnntc absra of lhe Mexican news up Ia the luth ihst. It will be seen that the intelligence, p-biished exclusively the Picavnne of "Wednesday hst-that Capt. Elliott , the British Charge to Texas (uho left Galveston some weeks ago as he said for Charleston,) had in ldct gone secretly to Mexico-is confirmed. IL will be seen also that statement thai the Texan Gov ernment nad seat secret agents along with Capt. Elliott, 10 barter the Texan people for d value less recognition nf independence by Mexico, is also con- hrmtdi and that the account published of SenOr Canado's mission To the United States like wise correct.
 The intrignes which we have felt duty to expose, the secret negotiations and mysterious movements of othcsl conspirators That have been compelled, from sense of the obligations which our relations is the public impose upon Us, 10 lay bare to the gaze oi the world, have been iraught with crime, marked Ly duplicty, so o,ercharged with bnseness, that we have not been surprised that soue of our contemporaries have hesiiaied 10 put mil iauh m the revelations we have made. Indeed at moments we have been staggered ourselves the developments as they were brought To light, and nave given tlcm to the public with some hesitancy, nntw hstandng the absolutely authentic source from which we derived our information.

As yet We have not been led asIray by single error when we relied upon these for the whole trnth. And to-day we have confirmation of Ina ,l,, f .i. play which will end a tragedy yet, if those whom ii concerns 10 be circunspect take heed of them seves-which establishes beyond the possibility of doubt the existance of the Intrigue, the parties to il, the active cooperation of Eng land in it. and it's summation, fl the people oi Texas prove not equal lo crisis that they will shorg have meet.
 We have been led 10 peace the Inte igence which we now proceed to lay before OUT readers win these remarks, inasmuch as some O! onr northern cOutem poraries-inposed upon by these interested in di- recting public opinion upon false inquiry-have lal. tered As the end draws nigh.
