FROM MEXICO.
The U. S. brig Somers, Commander Ger

The U. S. brig Somers, Commander Ger
~, arrived at Pensacola on the 18th inst.
We are informed that Mexico is ina most
distracted and unsettled conditi on, amount
ing almost TO state of revolution. The
States of Tobasco and Puebla had already
declaredin favor ofthe Federal Constitution,
and general meeting had been held in We
IA Cruz tcy days before the departure of
the Somers, for that purpose; but immedi
ale active measures were suspended at the
request of the Governor, who appears 10 be
popular with all parties.
Several arrests eimilitary r.en, charged
with revolutionary designs, had hecn made
in different parts of the Republic, and in one
instance quantity Of arms had been taken
from them.
1t 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 a.
band oned by all sensible men. Congress,
10 be sure, has passed bill TO raise S300G,-
600, 10 prepare for war about 10 take place
but we are informed that the opinion is pretty
general that the lioney cannot be obtained.
The present army Of Mexico is said 10
consist Of 2l 900 officers and less than 90,
coo men.

The most important intelligence from the
Republic is contained in proclamation of
President Jones, beginning thus:
WHEREAS the people of Texas have evinced
decided wish that prompt and definite
Annexation, recently submitted by the

From MExIco.-.The Washington Union
publishes letters received from Mexico, by
The U. S brig Somers, arrived a: Pensacola,
from authentic sources, stating that the ne
gotiations between Mexicoand Texas, con-
corning the negotiation Of the Independence
Of the latter, are complete so far as the Exec
utives are concerned. The terms are said
to be that Mexico acknowledges the indepen-
dence of Texas guaranteed by France and
England. provided Texas rejects annexa-
ton with the United States or any other
country
The Mexican government has granted a
permit to two commercial houses in Mexico
to introduce from New Orleans 10000 bales
ofcotton. Intelligence from Tobasco is, that
that State has announced in favor ofthe fed
eral constitution of 1924.

Inregard to American squadron at Vera
Cruz, we have the following information:

Inregard to American squadron at Vera
Cruz, we have the following information:
"The arrival Of our squadron at Vera Cruz
created great excitement and also in the
city ofMexico where it was represented 10
consist of twenty-one sail Of men Of war !
The unexpected presence Of this squadron
had, no doubt, a salutary influence, and
possibly might have caused the mission,
so privately determined upon, TO the United
States.'
OF Mr.. Shannon we hear this much:
Mr.. Shannon, late American Minister. had
engaged his passage in an American vessel,
and would sail about The 18th inst for New
York. 1t does not appear that he possessed
any knowledge of the political affairs of The
capital Of Mexico, and is not considered in
any other light than an obscure American
citizen, whose name is never alluded to as
one atall connected with the important trans
actions 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.
