From the N. o. PiCay uns, Feb. 10
LATER PROM MEXICO.


By the arrival Of the brig Tit, Capt. Brown,
from Havana, we have advices, brought by the
British steamer Teyiot from Vera Cruz to the 3lst
January, and from the city Of Mexico TO the 2Ith
These adylcss are several days later than we had
previously received but the intelligence has never
theless been mostly anticipated. We find them IN
our Havana exehanges-our Mexican files not hay-
ing come 10 hand.
From the tenor of the papers before us we infer
that Gen. Arsta has attempted no reyoluuon--hss
made no movement whatever against the govern
ment of Gen. Paroles. The news which reached as
by way of Pensacola Of his movements cannot have
been authentic Ell Diayi0 del 8ObieInO Of the 2lst
January, says that the whole country has given in
its adhesion 10 the plan Of San Louis Potos Moth
ing is said Of Yucatan, though the Havana papers
were fully aware that she had Withdrawn from the
Mexican eonfedersey.
By this arrival no light whatever is thrown upon
the actions of Mr.. Slide is mentioned that after
repeated solicitations, he obtained an escort TO leave
Mexico. IL is somewhat singular that this most
| important meter should be shrouded IN mystery.
In Gen. AImonte's letter, which do not recollect
to have seen before, in which he accepts the Office
Of secretary Of and marine, there occurs para
graph in which he speaks Of the embausssments OF
the government; Of his desire TO cooperate IN the
preservation Of ORDER happily re-established;" and
of making preparations for The campaign Of Tex
as" Neither in this nor in other documents do we
see anything % confirm the report OF raising an
army OF $4,000 men for the recovery Of Texas.
But measures have been taken, beyond all doubt,
to increase the effective military force Of Mexico,
and the war for Texas is the single pretex for the
same.
/ The Mexican editors continue to exhibit great
suspicion, and even alarm, in regard 10 the United
States naval forces on their Pacific coast Our read
ers need not TO be informed to that squadron but
the Mexcans attribute TO Com Sloat ominous
menace That in case Mexico should declare war
against the United States he would take possession
of the Mexican armed vessels, and with them block
ade the Mexican ports, leaving his own squadron
free for more interesting operations upon the coast
The Mexicans grIeye over this personal Of
the American commodore, but they are not a little
pleased that both France and England have strong
naval forces on the Pacific eohst TO watch ''the
American forces, and that the property Of their
countrymen is respected"
The "cal" for the assembling Of Mexican Con-
gress has been made. The act was celebrated as
national hoyday, with every demons traton Of Joy.
We do not find the particular day noted for the
yenng Of this Congress, and presume the convoea-
tora TO have reference to the election, rather than
the meeting Of this body.
The minister Of the treasury "a taking energetic
reduce order the affairs Of his depart
ment He has forbidden the governors Of the seye-
raj departments 10 contract loans and has ordered
the GENERALIZATION" Of the revenues appropriated to
the different departments. But these revenue meas
ures somewhat lndiatinct Not so, however,
the remittance of 1000 to the army Of the North,
which is announced in the Memorial OF the 25th.
( The importation of cotton at the port OF Vera
Cruz is allowed upon the payment Of ten dollars
bale.
The Monitor Constitutional of the a3d says that
the Baron Gras has been appointed to settle the DIFF
ferences between France and Mexico. 1--WE think
this appointment has before been announced)
minister from the king Of Prussia has arrived
at Vera Cruz.
The Memorial Hisorco of the 18th January
commends the simplicity of the habits Of the pro-
visona President, his accessibility to all classes,
and interchangeable attention to business He has not
taken up his residence in the national palace, visit
ing it only at certain hours for the despatch Of
affairs.
A committee has been appointed by him for the
( purpose of digesting complete reorganization Of
affars-a plan Of government and policy. Sefores
Gomez de la Cortina, Francisco Fagoaga, and Edu.
ardo de Gorostiza compose this committee, the de-
-, signs Of which are not particularly unfolded.
