MeXICO.
The 1t news from this distracted coun-
Try is of more pacific character. In the
sAeech tParedes to the Congress, no hos
I'll alluSns are made to the United States.
~ duFcity and treachery of both Here
ra and Fedes. are shown in publication
of Gen. rsta. Itappears that tire depos-
ed Present, Herrera, was actually secret
ly planning an invasion of Texas, while
protessinfrendship towards this country;
that Pardes knew this, and instead of
sending loops to the frontier as ordered,
he incite them to revolt against the 60
vernmen, ON the pretext that it was about
to sure rler Texas. What can our GO
vernmen expect to attain by negotiation
or treaties with such set of hypocrites
and scomdrels !
We eli the following summary of the
news frof the Vicksburg Sentinel:
1t will b seen that a new revolution is
soon to belooked for. Arista has decIar.
ed against Paredes. Yucatan has declar-
ed independence. Santa Anna and his
emissarIes are busy: and it would be in
deed remarkable If the present posture of
things remained.
1t appears by letter Of Arsta that
Herrera was merely playing a. game OF
treachery when he pretended 20 be willing
TO receive mission from the United States,
and settle all difficulties; for at The very
moment he was inviting Mr.. Slidell, he
was secretly using every means to array a
force to overcome Gen. Taylor on the
frontier.
The new government Of Parenes does
not turn out as hostile as was anticipated.
Mr.. Slidell has not been insalted or dri-
ven away. 1t was true, he despaired OF
his mission, and demanded an escort to
leave the country. Bntthe recent devel-
opments show that the refusal TO give him
an escortwas more pretext TO detain him
In the country until some favorable feel
ing OF the public mind would allow an open
of negotiations than any thing
else. Mr. Slidell himself expressed in.
creased hopes Of success.
Arista, who has undertaken a new revo-
luton, is man of talents and great ambi-
ton. He has lived in the United States,
and comprehends both American and Mex
lean affairs, better than any other general
of Mexico. Some years ago he projected
a scheme for division of the Republic,
and a separate government of the northern
Provinces. This was frustrated by the re-
volution in Texas. But it shows his ambi-
ton. and the schemes upon which he will
probably fall back, if he fails in a general
revolution. He is represented as having
unbounded sway in the north; and is said
to be inclined TO preserve peace with the
Americans, though like all other Mexican
politicians be talks in heroics about re-
conquering Texas. In his projected diyi-
sion of the Republic several years since,
he had invited American aid, and contem-
plated that a great part of his force should
be American soldiers. Does not this show
him fully alive to the Importance of
peaceful union with the United States2
A correspondent of the Picayune says,
the Santa Anna party is growing stronger
every day in Vera Cruz. Ii is confident
ly asserted that if he were to make his
appearance at any time, he would he sup
ported by an immediate pronunciamento.
Ii is thought that the revolutionary govern
ment will not, therefore, venture to weaken
their force on the seaboard by sending any
military or naval detachment against the
rebellious Yucatanos.
