From The N. o. Pieayune, May 81.
The Mexican sch., RelampGgos Capt.
Taldaondo, arrived here yesterday from,
Vera Cruz. which place she left on the
10Th inst, She is said TO have been char
tered BY tho Mexican Government, for the
PURPOSE Of bringing Dispatches 10 her Con.
sol at lhs city.
A Mr.. Frederick Jonson came passengs
ia tho RcimpayoS, and is thought 10 lie
bearer OF dispatches from the British min.
isier in Mexico, either 10 the United States
Government, or The English minister al
Washington.
Owing 10 these facts, and u certain mys-
terry in the movements Of this vessel, her

pers and no letters for the post Office, ri.
NOR obtained ganeral currency in this city.
shortly afier her arrival, that Mexico had
actually declared war against Tho United
STATES.
The probabilities are all against The
ercdibliiy OF this report. as the Rclampa
gos left Vera Cruz on the 18th, and GER
minly, ndvices OF the fact would have
reached the United States before This time
hada declaration Of war been made before
that date.
4 portion Of the United States Gull
Squadron, consisting OF the frgate Potomac
The slonp Of war Falmouth, and the brigS
Lawrence and Somers have tesn anchored
al I,la VcrJa, immediately of Vera Cruz,
for some weeks, and we should have hear
from them ere now, had war been decided
upon anterior 10 The sailing o. the Relam-

Rumors Of revolutions in various portions
Of The Mexc:n Empire are rlfe-upon

tisaary movement
Upon m re reliable authority than mere
rnmsr, ve may state His Excellency.
Senior Juan de Dios Canada, passed through
Vera Cruz about the first Of the month,
spon n mission, rs was said, from the Gov
eminent Of Mexico, 10 thu, Of The Uu,ied
S,aies.
This circums ance, taken in c7nnexion
with the negotiation then pending with
Texas, and the secrecy with which the OBJ
iecl Of his mission was kept from the pub
lie, caused no little commolon in that city.
One Of the journals, apparently more fav-
orabIe 10 war than peace, in remarking
upon this mission, exclaims:
Every hing. it appears, has been con-
hded 10 di plomacy-the hands Of strangers
are thrust into this business. How saall
we liquidatel " hat will become of the
coun:rys The storm is raging over our
hsads---,he thunder reverbe rates above us"'
Wa have been permitted "a publish an
extract from ieil"r writ en- at Vera Cruz,
on The 9Th day Of May, the purport of
which, tank Us so completely uback, that,
we're il not for the respectable source from
which il comes, one would pay little heed
10 il indeed.
The letter is from an individual whose
word might challenge the belief Of every
man in tho couniry-not to say Of the gov.
eminent ,self--and yet the announcement
open It's authority, will s,arte all Of our
readers. The ex,rac, is in these words
We transcribe them literally:
ELLIOT and the Texan commissioners
are abou, leaving the (Vera CRUZ 10 or
English frgate for Galveston, with the
treaty acknowledging the independence oil
Texas. Bat they little dream Of their re-
ception at Galveston.
"rhcsc people, Ole Mexicans,) think
that ihe acknowledgement Of Texas indie
pendance will prevent Annexation, anC
thereby thy will get clear Of declaring
~ar, us they had threo,ned. They swea
however, that if Texas prefers Annexation
10 acknowledgement, they will dcclar,
war"
Besides tho American squadron and tn
,TrSydicc, the French vessels hcrelofor
mentioned as being nj Vera Cruz, were We
in the hNrbor or in the olfing. Both Of tn
war steamers, three briggs of war, and sew
ersl smaller awncd vessels belonging 4
Mexico, were in port.
