The Yazoo City Whig. [volume] (Yazoo, Miss.) 1844-1851, 1846-11-27
From the New Orleans Picayune
Later from Mexico.

We have received by the schooner MUS
papers from Vera Cruz to the 9Th inst, bee
ing eight days later than our advices by way
of HaVana.-This intelligence is interesting
and not without importance.
The tone of the Mexican papers is as EN-"
bi'tered against US as ever. Nothing is talked
of in the Provinces but the war; and in the
capital but the war and political divisions.
But let us first bring up the news as to the
expedition against TabascO.
When Commodore Perry left the anchor
age near Vera Cruz for Tabasco, the Mexi-
cans supposed that AIvarado was again TO be
attacked. II was only some days afterwards
that they learned its real destination. Their
first accounts Of the results were published
on the Sd inst. They treat it as wanton,
predecated expedition, prompted only by
the defenceless state Of TabascO. and they
taunt US with our two repulses from Alva.
RADIO, and defy US TO renew the attempt.
The Indicator Of the I'd inst. says that
the evening previous they were insulted by
an American merchant vessel, which passed
the city of SACRIFICES so close in that she
might readily have been seized By beats and
launches from the port. the blOckadiBg ship
being at quite distance at the time. The
blame is thrown upon the government for
not providing money aud other resources to
improve such opportunities.
The Indicator says that the Captain Gen.
at Vera Cruz received dispatches on the 18th
inst. covering another from the Secretary Of
State Of the United States to the Mexican
Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The purport
was unknown to the editor, but he presumes
it to be another proposal on our part for peace
MIR Polk presuming that the fall Of Mons
terey will dispose the Mexicans to submission
The editor goes on TO say that the supreme
government neither wishes nor is il author
lied to enter upon negotiations The sub.
ject belongs to the Congress to assemble in
December, which assuredly will not render
null the efforts which the nation is making
to obtain by open force complete justice
There will be peace, he adds, it the Ameri-
cans wish it, but it will be upon these con-
ditions, and after the prelimiDaries have been
settled at San Luis, or further towards the
frontier.

A letter from San Luis Potosi on the 28th
of October, says there wer then $4,000
troops there, and that in fifteen days more
there would be 10000. There was no room
for people in the city, and provisions were
excessively scarce.
