from the city of Mexico to the 2Ist ult., and
from the Rio Grande to the It'll inst, received
by special despatch The intelligence, altho'

The Hon. Mr.. SIidell LEFT the City of Mexi-
co TO return to the United States on the | 18th
January. The passport for which he applied
was refused him by the government, but he
was furnished with an escort TO Vera Cruz
The passport was refused upon the ground that
he was not a Special Minister of the United
States for the settlement of the affairs Of Texas
his appointment being that of Minister
lenipotentiaTy, which was in violation of the
agreement made with Herrera's Government
to receive a Special Minister for a special pur-
pose only.
On the l4th of January, the Minister Of
War issued an order for all the unattached Of
fcers (officales sueltos) in depot, to repair i'm
mediately TO the frontier, and Join the army
concentrating upon the Rio Grande for the de-
fence of their national rights in Texas. The
present number of the officers is about 5000.
These alone are sufficient TO officer an army of
100 900 men.
On the same day, circular order was issued
by the Minister Of the Interior, to the Cover
nors of Departments of States, that all the
ancient presidial cavalry, regular troops, about
5000 strong, should be Immediately mustered
into service, for the invasion of Texas, and de-
fence Of the Rio Grande.

ed circular order to all the Governors of
States, that within forty days from that date,
they shall furnish the necessary quota Of men
to fill up the Army of Invasion to war COM
900 men. The present army does
not exceed 10000. The troops now at the
Capital are constantly drilled with view to
act in large bodies.

of Gen. Francisco Meiia, to the troops under
