IMPORTANT FROM MRxIco.-The southern mail OF
yesterday, brought some rather important intel-
gence from Mexico-important, if all is true
1t appears from the following account, that Gene
raj Paroles, who was marching towards the city OF
Mexico when we last heard Of him, had made his
appearance in Tampico, and was acting decisively
In affairs relative to Texas and Mexico. We are
inclined to think, however, that Paroles was not at
Tampico; and If so, the order given to the Gold
Huntress originated from the instructions received
from the capital soon after Texas revolted, and
which have never been abrogated.
This movement Of the Mexcans, however, will
tend to increase the interest for the next news.
From the New Orleans Pcayune, Dec. 24l
The schooner Gold Huntress Capt Church. arrived at
this port yesterday from Tampico. She brought pa
pers put we learn from Capt Church some particulars
o. MS psion there appear. that the Gold Hun

went over the bar and to Tampico and the port cap
made objection account Of her having sailed from
Corpus Christi The next day, however. he came on
any reasons ordered the vessel to leave Immediately
Upon the captains insisting required GER
vessel Texas it could not be allowed to have
any communication with the shors-that the officer
would enforce this and that the vessel leave
daylight He said the law positive, and that the
sci bad better be of. This advice was followed.
There were in port at Tampico Bremen brig, one
French Brig an American schooner two Mexican schoo
ners OF war and Spanish schooner
IL was reported that there from 1000 to $500
troops in Tampico, and, the captain thinks under
command OF Paredes
IMPORTANT FROM ST.. DoMINGo.-We have receiv-
the following important intelligence from the Dom-
nican Republic, by an arrival at Charleston.
II appears that the Haytens are beaten, and seem
wholly incapable Of contending against the Domin-
cans. Our next accounts will probably be Of de-
cslve battle between the two races for the mastery
The whole island is destined to slip from the hands
of the blacks.
From the Charleston Patriot Dec ael
We learn from Captain Robinson of the schr. Larch,
distressthat previous to his departure, the French
had eurned from the Spanish Of the Island
the Cape and that the Domncans had taken charge of
the forts the frontiers and put ell the Hsyens about
loo men, composing the garrison. to death.
