We are indebted to our friends of the New
Orleans Tropc Office, for the following Extra
containing the latest news from Mexico, re-
ceived by the schooner Water Witch
VERY LATE FROM VERA CRUZ.

P0RTNNT CORRESPONDENCE.
We hasten to lay before the readers of the
Tropic the latest news from Mexico. The
Water Witch, Capt. Trenns, left Vera Cruz
on the 9Th inst, and arrived here between i
and O'Clock this morning. 1t seems that, al
ter all the gasconading dispatches Of the Mcy-
lean Minister, a declaration Of warts now very
doubtful.
Our prompt and intelligent correspondent
tells the whole story
VERA Cruz, Aug. 4, 1915,
Dear Sirs:-I last had tins pleasure, per Re
lanpago, which left here Oh The esd alt; no
arrivals have since taken place from your port.
The elect'on of a new President commenced
on the LIST inst, for which thcre.are four candi-
dates-say, Gen, Herrera, President ad interim,
Gen. Almontc, Ex-Mexican Minister at Wash
ington, Gomez Farias, and one other, whose
name has escaped my memory. The Presi-
dency, however, seems to lay between the two
former, one of whom, it is supposed, will be
the successful candidate.
Almonte has offered his services to Govern
mentu the approaching campaign against Tex
as; but rather think it is more rWse de guerre
to help him to the Presidency, than any great
desire he has got to have brush with the Tex
ans-or as ought rather to say now the Uni
ted States.
Fl. b. NJ. brig of war Persian arrived here on
the eth ult., IN seven days from Galveston,
bringing the news of the annexation of Texas
being confirmed by President Joncs-and also
that body of u. S. troops, say about 1000
men, were expected at Galveston in the course
of few days.
1t appears now that our Government is in no
hurry to declare war against the United States,
or, at any rate, it seems to be the general opn-
ion that she will merely attempt to re-conquer
Texas, without making any declaration of war.
OF course the news by the Persian caused
great excitement throughout the country. The
Ministry has presented an act to the two Cham
bers for their elaboration.
LIST. TO declare war against the United
States.
I'd. Authorizing them to raise a foreign OF
national loan TO the amount of SIS 900, 900
which they consider to be requisite to carry or
q war and re-conguer Texas.
Tho proposals are now under discussion in
the Chambers, and if they get the "Pargent
there is no doubt they will make the attempt to
again get possession though it is doubtful whe-
ther they will declare war against the United
States or not.
Ofeourse you have heard ere this, of the re-
volution at 'robasco, in favor of Federalism,
which has induced government to declare said
port closed to foreign as well as native shipping
but is rather puzzled to find out how they will
keep out the former, as they have not got
single steamer that they can get ready i'll less
than is or 20 days all the engineers being still,
as may say, loaling on shore and waiting for
their pay, of which, for some months past, they
have received but mere trtle.
The Tariff question is still under discussion,
or rather has been referred to Committee, but
if they procrastnate as they generally do, God
knows when we shall get sight of the long eX-
pected document and IN the meantime the
country will lose great deal, as merchants do
not like to ship with so much uncertainty.
have nothing further Of interest to inform
YOU of at present, aud beg to subscribe myself,
gentlemen, very respectful ly yours.
AuG, 8, The Watorwitch not sailing yes
terday, open to say that we have no news
from the American Squadron, but it is thought
here thatit will soon appear 1t is said that
the troops now on the road to Texas, amount
to 10, 900 men. Yours, &c.
