sson by Gov Bdrbachans, VINO straight way is
sued an order that The decree should be promulga-
ted within Nv. niy-tour hours under severe penal
ties. The requisI ions OF The Governor were COM
piled with. The un soo,ed energy manifested ey
him in this instance is attributed entirely 10 The
influence OF SenuT Basadre, Santa Annals friend,
who labnred night and day while in the peninsu'
la 10 bring aoou, a declaration there as well as IN
Tabasco in favor OF The 'plan OF Guadala]ara."
His Efforts were en'ii ely successful, and Yucatan
is as wholly and truly Mexican, with the addition
of The enjoyment Vi some peculiar commercial

dicares the Stale of feeling in Yucalan towards
the Unired States.

The u. S. orig Pofp,ise, Capt. Hunt. was here
a short time ago, and being OF Ilgh. waller dfaushl
was enabled 10 come over The bar, and show hei
teeth close IN, 10 the as'onishneni OF he natives.
Capt. Hunt had a prizs, a Mexican schooner,
which he took comm. up. ire auihcrili .e

with The brig; they hadn't instructions tor such
emergencies, and their p%eculiat relations with
Mexiro would'n, admit OF il, I'LL al least tn-t
could consult their Government; but this would
take tao long a time, AID after some cofrespon
dence the Consul finally talked Them out OF il,
aud he brig and her prize entered IN glorious
styie, deligh,ng The hears OF The Americ ms here
10 hear The roar Of her guns when she gave our
Consul a salute. She stopped here ahnu,a week,
during which lime The Consul procured Il fne
supply OF buliocks, fresh turtle, fruits, &c, Tor The
squadron, AMI we are in hopes OF seeing another
vessel, particularly the Porpoiss, as Capt. Hum
is Just the man TO keep these fellows straight and
with a grace 100.

GET rid OF the Porpoise. They expect their por's
10 be blockaded, but hope the termination vi thu
war will prevent il. Thy are, however, as good
Mexicans in will and wish (and would be il
word and deed, but FIR fear OF The id Yankees)
az in auy Other part of Mexico. Thy were all
very polite To Captain Hunt while here, but since
then no money would induce any ot them 10 send
a vessel 10 Vera Cruz Tor The Consul with Pre-
visions for The squadron. No, IL would never Go
to supply line A,Dericans-not That they hate
Them. but VIVA, would Mexico say atterwards2
am panied to hear oil The loss Of The Tru1ton
al Tuspau. The Mexicans had The news he;e
first, and are quite delighted with il, but We trust
that Il will induce our Commodore 10 be in earnest
with his prizes. Santa Anna, among other ofhis
prospective appointments, has appointed Barba
chano. the present Governor Of this Stale, 10 that
Office, under the anticipated new order Of things.
On the 10th instant was celebrated the anniversary
of Mexican Independence. The tee is not Vel
quite over, but is quite an insipid affair 10 those
who have passed a 4,h Of July in our happy land.
One thing was characteristic OF The feelings, and
changed political position OF Yucatan-not a
word or hint was dropped bv the orators OF the
day about the independence Of Yucatan nothing
was heard, but ''loDg live the Independence
sloog live the Mexican Republic"-'rira la Re
ptbiea MezicanG."
Business dull, vessels and money scarce-los-
wood, the staple OF the place, cheap and dull.
We have received a letter from orr regular cor

mainly flied with speculatIons regarding The pro-

which of course. is rendered undressing by The

lure Of the country ar uud Monterey, will be read
