from letters received in this city:other than our
own, il would seem that MI. Slidell left the
civ of Mexico on the l7th January, as we have
previously stated. One letter states that he
was in Jalapa, quietly awaiting dispatches
from our Government at Washington, where
he would remain until such documents were
received as might determine his course. Ont
OF our Pensacola letters states that ne was
much disguised with the treatment ne had
receiveda At the hands Of tho Mexican Govern
meDt.
Another letter states that there was great
reason to believe that Mr.. Slidelps treatment
had been such as must lead to hard blows with
Mexico. The writer says that the course OF
the leading men Of Mexico had been Ola na-
ture most outrageous in the matter OF the feeeP'
ton of a Minister from this conntry--so out
rareous that no other recourse than q resort to
war was left US. The writer thinks that i
must be declared Immediately.
We have all along thought il the proper
course for our Government to bring the mat
tiers at issue with Mexico TO an immediate set
dement,; and the reports received yesterdays
should they prove trne, would make the duty
still more imperative. II the Mexicans will

to be very strong in Vera Cruz hat his Parti-
zans might at any moment, at signal from
him, raise the standard of revolt, that CONNER

ahead, and business was nearly stagnant.

LEGISLATIVE wrT.--During a late debate in

CoTToN.--We left the Cotton Market on

doing, and as there was but little competition
among buyers, the advantage was rather in
their favor, particularly on the lower grades,
though the market had undergone no guotable
change. On Wednesday the demand was RAJ

changed hands at about the same rates as were
current on Tuesday. On Thursday the de-
mand increased, and $500 bales were d sposed
Of at rather frmer prices. and yesterday very
active inquiry existed, resulting in sales to the
very large amount Of $4,000 bales, the market
closing at prices which exhibit an improve
ment of about an eighth Of a cent on the Or
binary and Middling qualities. These trans
actions have greatly exceeded the receipts, and
the stock in ~factoF's hands is reduced unusual
