From N. D. Delta, June q.
later FROM MEXICO.

By The brig Helen Mcleod, Captain
Marsron, arrived yesterday from Vera
Cruz, we have papers from that Guy 10
the gath ult.. heing three days later than
those brought by her barque Louisiana
the day before yesterday.
The editor of The lndicador OF the 24Ih
ult. saws that he has been Informed, from
a very reliable source, that the steamers
Monlezuma and Guadalupe had actually
sailed from Havana under the British nag.
The same paper of The 22d ult eorlaIns
the letter of Capt. Andrew Fitzhugh, oil
the steamer Mississippi, to The command
er at Vera Cruz, giving notice that the
mort of Vera Cruz is under blockade.
The notice is da,ed 20,h Of May. To
this The lndicador asks: "Aud are we TO
remain calmly looking on, seeing the hat,
Ga ifas 81 he Stars waving ii tie bfsszsF
Shall we be citizens less worthy than those
of Malamoras, whose he. oic valor will be
sooken of as an immortal example Of
bravery? No! thousand times no! And
be be thousand times cursed, who in
such trying time as this abandons his
nos, on the walls Of heroic Vera Cruz ~
The editors 90 on 10 say that the Mexican
neopIe should have no further considera-
tion for their enemies, and the cannons OF
the Castle of San Juan de Uloa should be
fred at the hrst American vessel that
comes within their range.
The same journal, referring 10 the order
issued by the government that every A.
tnericau citizen who should not leave the
port WITHIN the time stipulated would be
sent twenty leagues inlo the interior, re
commsnds ,ha, none ofrhose falling under
their grasp should be pdrdoned. Insult
f,r insult. and life for life. is his motto.
On the oath, Ell Indicator calls ou the
government to arm every one OF their yes.
Sells as privaleers, and to give letters Of
marque TO every Mexican who asked Tor
them. in order, as the editor slgnhcally
expresses it, "tn give the Yankees hell !"
The article winds up by hoping that Mex
icaus will not be(ray lheil country, buI
nav the Americans in equal coin.
We also notice thai the British mail
steamer 1hy was advertised to leave Vera
Cruz Cur Havana on the morning OF the
2d inst. aud would take on hoard, as
heretofore. all specie and cochneal that
should I've offered for shipment. :"
We would respectfully ask Capt. Fi'z-
hugh what kind Of specie is cochlnea!!--
though by the way, in his note TO The
commauder ofVeta Cruz, published above
snscis alone IS exempt lruln the snrveIl-
lance Of the blockade.
