PENSACOLA Democrat says-We are indebted TO a

On the 10TH Mr. Dimond was informed by a let

Msry's was in readiness for his aceommo-
dalton when we left.
On the l5th, Com. Conner received a letter from
MIR. Black, our consul in Mexico. he appeared TO
be somewhat exhilarated by the cheering intel-
gonce brought from England by the Cambria, which
he had just received. He writes that il this news
had been sooner received, Mr.. Slidell would have
been received, and throws out suggestion that our
mission may be accepted at the latest moment. Al
though MIR. Blacks location should give him many
advantages for forming accurate opinions, do net
think we have much reason for hoping that his
hopes will be realized, although most anything
may be expected from the unstable councils Of
Me xico.
Mr. Sldell has certainly demanded his passports
al a fortunate moment when the news from England
and the state Of the country, and more especially the
Tears our squadron are eonspirlng 10 act the ir
resolution Of Mexico. The people Of Vera Cruz
arc awfuly frightened, and are as will be seen by
INC newspapers, moving out Of the city. The Mex
lean navy has been taken in tow by the steamers TO
place ofabsolute safety far up one ofthe neighbour
ing rivers.
The people Of Vera Cruz wish to see the quss-
ton between US settled and having never been very
warmly attached TO the revolutionary government,
threaten pnonunciamento, unless their wishes are
regarded. Upon tho whole | have never seen the
sentiment Of the people favorable 10 US as ut
present. The discussion Of the monarchy question
has, | am persuaded, done much for u.s. Nine
tenths Of the people Of Mexico are ardent repubi-
cans Il Is only few Of tho high class and arstoe-
racy who support the views Of the royal party.
There Is an interesting article this subject in the
last papers.
The British minister, writing to the English COM
mandsr on the station says that he cannot persuade
these people that England will not cooperate with
them against tho United Ststos-they have the
greatest confidence that England is going to inter
fere TO prevent their being buled by u.s. that he has
unequiyoeally minated that their hopes would not
be realized.
In the last papers will be found notice Of the IA
grant attack by Gen. Paroles the freedom Of the
press, and the persons Of the editors and printers
This "a dangerous proceeding ON the part of the
President, and must arouse strong resentment and
fearful opposition.
A large part of the troops under General Ampudia
have mutinied
We have received reports from Jalapa that the
northern provinces about recede from the coa-
federaey.
Another account says
"Gen. Ampudia's army which had been ordered
TO the frontier Of Texas had reyolted, and about
1000 refused to march any further in that direction,
and the remainder, about 1900, not being very de-
sirous To proceed themselves, would not force the
others; 80 they came to halt"
