MEXICO.

Of course we have had, as usual, abundant oi
rumors during the week just passed The latest
and undoubtedly the nearest authentic, is given by
the Washington Union, from advices received by
the government. These dates are from the capitol
OF Mexico to the 23d of August, and from Vera
Cruz to the Goth, inclusive. II is said, from the
capital, that the new cabinet considered as OPP
posed 10 the war; and, even it it were otherwise
disposed, it has not the means to carry on war;
that is with the greatest difficulty it can raise the
means to defray its necessary daily expenses; and
that the war excitement is gong down daily among
all parties.
The accounts from Vera Cruz Of the 29th, state
that there has been retrograde movement in re-
gard to the invasion of Texas-Gen. Paredes abb
solutely refusing to march with his forces Use, en-
thousand troops) towards Texas; that he has him
self repaired TO Mexico. and others have followed
his example. The opinion was pretty well estab-
lished at Vera Cruz, that the Mexicans will never
made all the bluster they can; that they are without
money, without credit, and consequently power
less, and that they are, moreover, on the eve of
revolution, which will overturn the present gov
ernment
Accounts on the following day (the 3Oth AugusD
from Vera Cruz, represent that there can be no
doubt ofa plan being nearly ripe to overturn the
present government; and that Gen. Paredes, with
Tornel and Vaenci, propose forming triumvirate.
II is said that Gen. Paredes cares nothing about
f. k.,. :,to loJ Iict
The French Minister has actually asked bis pass
port-the government having refused to grant him
the satisfaction he demanded. News of the anti
cipated revolution was expected every mail at Vera
Cruz.
From the Union we get also the following Off
cial information from the United States Camp at
Corpus Christi;-
"lnformation from Gen. Taylor 3 head quarters,
at Corpus Christi, has been received as late to
the 3Oth of August. Since his last despatch seven
companies of the 7th regiment OF infantry have ar
rived at his camp. The General speaks in COM
mandatory terms of the battalion of artillery from
New Orleans, under the command OF Major Gal
ly.
"The gallant Texans are determined to do their
duty in defence of their State. President Jones
has notified Gen. Taylor that he has taken prepar-
atory steps to organize one thousand men for SER
vice, If necessary.
"Gen. Taylor has communicated to General
Games his wish MOTTO have any more militia
force seat from New Orleans to him, not appre-
hending that there will be any occasion for their
services. He states that there isno news from
Rio Grande Some idle rumors are occasionally
brought in from that quarter, but the accurate in
formation he possesses so entirely dscredts them,
that he does not think them even entitled to repe
tition."
From Tobasco we learn that on the 9th Of Au-
gust the Yucatanese under Gen. Barneo, took pos
session ofa Mexican schooner Of War, and having
placed on board of her all the Mexican functiona-
ries and soldiers 10 that State, ordered her captain
to sail with them for Vera Cruz, whence she de-
parted Immediately. Shehad been despatched by
the Mexicans TO levy men and money for the Text
an war, but the people Of Yucatan had suffered too
much already from the oppressive tyranny Of the
Central Government an immediate separation was
resolved upon and carried out in the manner stated
without shedding drop of blood The State Gov
ernment was at once changed to national one,
retaining all the republican principles which have
distinguished the citizens Of that State. Other
States will undoubtedly rally round her standard;
and every thing which we hear from Mexico
shows that she has domestic difficulties enough to
keep her busy.-U s. Saturday Post.
