Mexico arrived in the Mississippi
Mr.. Parrot, Mr.. Dimond and DR.. Wood arrived here
on Sunday-the latter named gentleman hastened on TO
Washington with the dispatches.
The only political news of importance which we gather
from these gentlemen is that Mazatan and Tepsc had de.
clared for Santa Ana, and it generally thought he
would be recalled. The OF the revolutionary nova
ment was understood not to be connected with the Texas
question, as was the case IN former revolutions.
The OF the battles OF the 9Th and 9th were received
at Mexico on the 18th ult. On the 18th the papers an
nounced that battle had been fought which the Mex
Gains had acted like "hons This did NOT
prove sufficiently explicit for the popuace who after wait

made such demonstrations against the government as to
leave no room Tor doubt that revolution" meda-
ted, TO prevent which the 25h Parades sent the des
patch Of Arista the Government organ for
Great excitement preyaled-drums were heat
throughout the city for volunteers; maedlcons
the Americans throughout the city.
Mr. Dimond informs us that all the Americans except
those employed in the factories either had eft the coun
Try or were preparing 10 do so Immediately.
Cap Gregory, now commander OF the boeknking force
had restored the two Mexican vessels which had been
captured off Cruz, by the squadron lie addressed
letter TO General Bravo OF Vera Cruz saying he had re-
leased the vessels in consideration the fact that the MeI
lean authorities had permitted American vessels TO

The Somers has been sent to Campeachy TO ascer-

The American bark Eugenin, Captain Brscoc from New
hok belonging 10 T. A HagOus Co., eyaded the block
ade, although pursued by the boats Of Of war and
got into Vera Cruz-(his Captain the block
Of the French) all the other American vessels had ef the

From Mr.. Parrou learn that he met tho news Of the
capture OF Captain Thornton and the Of
hostes at GuadeaIara. Upon enquirng the Post Of
hco he learned that the Government had expressed the
news. Mr.. T. Immediately employed a uusty person 10
carry dospatches containing all the particulars pos sibe to
be obtained TO Commodore Sloa lying az Muzaan with his
squadron This express would reach Commodore S. five
days IN advance OF all other communication and there
be no doubt that Gro this flag waving the walls
OF Mazatan o. well as Montery in California.
Our readers may recOec that some time since il was
announced that Capt. Fremont had been ordered Of Ca
iiorna, by the Mexican authorities. When this news
reached Commodore Soat he Immediately despatebcd the
soPoiwar Portsmouth to St Francisco Bay TO act as cir
cumstances might require.
The American squadron at Mazllsn on he LIST Of May
consisted Of tho -
Frgale Savannah, Com. Soa so guns; Sloop Layant
Page, "a guns Soop Warren, Hull, "a gun; Soop Cyone

. and the brig tEoc at Guaymas, taking for
England.
IL reported that other British ships of war were to
rendezvous at Mozatlnn, but others had arrived.
But little doubt exists MaIaan and among the Off
GERS Of the squadron, that tho British admiral has insiruc
tons not allow tho American squadron to take posses
sion OF any Mexican ports the pacific II this SUPPOSE
ton should prove correct, tho from tine Pacific
will be Of tho most highly exciting ohaacoras there can
not east doubt that Com Soat will take possos-on at
all hazards IL supposed that for some time past Com
s. has had instructions seize all Mexican ports on that
coast whenever he should receive reliable the
