INTERESTING FROM MEXICO AND.
TEXAS.

We learn from our New Orleans exchanges
that Mr. Slidell, our Minister to Mexico, arr'.
we'd in that city on Tuesday evening last, hav-
Ing sailed from Vera Cruz on the 3Oh ult. lie
was accompanied by Mr.. Parratt, Secretary OF
Legation, who has proceeded TO Washington
as bearer of dispatches. Mr.. s. will probably
remain in New Orleans some days. The Bull
le,in says-Memphis Eng.
1--WE learn that Mr.. Slid.ll was finally refu-
sed by the Mexican Government to be receV-
ed as minister plenipotentiary, or in any capa'
CITY other than as commissioner tor the ar
raDgement alone OF questions growing out OF
the annexation of Texas. The relations and
controversies between the two Governments,
however, too complicated to allow OF the dis
cusson of them plecenesl, even # our Govern
ment were disposed to submit TO The dsrespect
implied 10 the proposition OF Mexico, or 10 con.
tInue the existing state of quasi.war. Mr.. SlI-
dell, therefore, on being refused recognition IN
the capacity IN which he had heen sent by the
government. would not treat of any other terms
of admission, broke up the legation, and has
returned home. The American feet still lay
at Sacrfcios, and Gas will be seen by an article
in another column) the American army is well
planted in command of Matamoras.
"WIth regard to the internal affairs Of Mexi.
CO, they are represented to be in as unsettled
a state as ever. The Government of Paredes
was considered very insecure. Some OF the
papers, advocating Republican views in oppo
stlon to the monarchial doctrines of El ITEM
po, openly advocate the recall of Santa Anna,
and the Government is powerless to inforce its
decree prohibiting discussions Of that nature. 1t
was believed that the Government if acting on
It's convictions would readily have recognized
the mission of Mr.. SlldelI, but Paredes having
raised himself to power by professions of ex.
treme opposition TO the United States, and am.
bilious men and factions watching him on all
sides, he cared not exhibit any symptom of tai
tering. Gen. Almonte, from his talents, posi-.
ton and ambition, it is believed, had been one
of the most troublesome peisons among those
who assisted the new Government to power,
and as means OF getting him out OF the way
he had been appointed on a mission to Great
Britain. Some difficulty had at first occurred
10 procuring means for an outfit sufficient to in.
duce him to accept the place. This, however
had been arranged, and previous to the sailing
!, of the Mississippi. he had arrived as far as JAl
apa on his way to the sea coast. Doubts were
expressed al vera CruZ, however, Whether Al
: monte would actually embark on this mission
: 1t was thought sthat he contemplated a new
revolution OF the Government, and not improb
able that he would seek 10 commence the move
ment in Vera Cruz.
"The discussion of the mouarchial projects
so much talked Of, and for the advocacy o
which the journal called Ell TEMPO (or "The
rimes") was established, continued to be car
ried on in the press 1T is clear, however, thai
there is no considerable party Of Royasts il
the country, and that tha subject has beer
