THE MEXICAN INSTRUMENTS.

We understand that the Secretary of State has
submitted report upon the two Mexican install

the last year. We have reason to suspect that the
President is not yet satisfied doubt still prevails

not ventures under existing circumstances, TO collect
together any considerable number Of TROOPS
The present army Of Mexico is said to consist Of
II 900 officers and less than 1000 men!
Santa Anna was sail confined in the Castle OF
ferotei but no doubt entertained that he would
soon be liberated if he is not already free to depart
at pleasure. The impression that he will again be
relnstated IN power is becoming to be generally 5tis-
tanned, and many think that this will take place be-
fore the expiration of six months.
The statement before us accounts for the niyster-
GUS appearance Of the Relampagos in our waters
as we suppose this is the vessel alluded to in the
following extract:
When the English merchants at Vera Cruz heard Of
Senior Canedos departure they chartered schooner for
evening we tamo Up with and passed about O'Clock
with us"
In regard TO the American squadron at Vera Cruz
we have the following information:
The arrival ofour squadron Vera Cruz created great
excitement and also in tho city of Mexico where
represented 10 consist Of twenty sail OF
The unexpected presence Of squadron had doubt
sautary influence and possibly might have caused the mis-
sion privately determined upon to the United sates
Of Mr.. Shannon we hear this much,
"Mr Shannon, late American minister had engaged his
passage in an American vessel ana would sail about the
sessed any knowledge the political affairs Of the capital
Of Mexico and he is considered in any other light than
an obscure American citizen whose alluded
to as one at all connected with the important transactions
Of the day"
The yellow fever begins to show itself in Vera
Cruz, which we believe is always the case at this
season of the year.
The officers and crews of the squadron enjoyed
very good health, but were getting tired of lying at
anchor under Green Island (Isla Verde) without
having any communication with the shore, and upon
an allowance of fresh water, with the thermometer
averaging $50 to $500 and exercising at general quar-
tiers so much in that eneryating climate.
The Somers was TO have left Pensacola on the
22d, returning Immediately for Vera Cruz.
We learn that the brig Franklin, Capt Nickerson,
which has been on a whaling voyage in the Gulf
for three months, during which time she has taken
two sperm whales that yielded twenty-six barrels
of oil, lately put in at Pensacola on account of
mutiny that broke out among the crew.

slant" i 49,
Here we have disclosure of events of the high
est moment-the important fact established by them
being that secret negotiation is going forward be-
tween Texas and Mexico under the auspices and
protection of the British government and that Eng.
lish vessels of war are employed in conducting the
consprators TO and from Mexico; and that the basis
Of this negotiation is avowed hostility to the pur-
poses and policy of the United States We will
not stop to inquire what line of conduct it deyoves
upon the United States TO pursue, when intrigue
is conducted upon her borders, to check her prog
ress, cripple her influence and battle the will of the
American people; but know full well what use
MIR. Madison and Mr.. Monroe would make of the
means offensive and defensive of the United States,
had such an unfriendy, gratutous, and insulting in
reference between the sovereign powers of this
hemisphere been attempted in their day. The ex-
tent of the means employed by England, and the
nature of them too, may be inferred from her sue
cess in bringing the Mexican Congress to pass a
bill virtually recognising the independence Of Texas,
upon the simple condition that she refuses to be
nexed to the United States. The stubbornness of
the Mexican character is made TO bend to the wa
wing of the British scepre; and the only recon-
pense for her humility is the Introduction of con-
nection of Texas with the United States-leaving
her free to be united with any other power under
the sun. The mention of Monroc's name in this
regard makes the air have gunpowder odor.
We proceed to make further leyies upon the abb
stract before US, and files of papers with which we
have been furnished from the same source, in rela-
ton TO the general news in Mexico.
We are informed that Mexico is in a most dis
tracted and unsettled condition, amounting almost TO
a state Of revolution. The States Of Tobasco and
Pueblo had already declared in favor of the federal
and general meeting had been held in
Vera Cruz, few days before the departure of the
Somers, for that purpose; but immediate active
measures suspended at the request of the gov
ernor, who appears to be popular with all parties
Several arrests of military men, charged with rev.
designs, had been made in different parts
of the republic, and in one instance quantity Of
arms had been taken from them.
IL is thought by great many that the present
government cannot sustain itself much longer, and
the idea of its declaring war against the United
States has been abandoned by all sensible men.
