NEWS
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
FIVE DAYS LATER.

STUPENDOUS EFFORTS OF MEXICO TO CAR
RY ON THE WAR-LEVY ON THE CHURCH
Es-MOVEMENT OF PAREDES-THE BRIG
HELEN MCLEOD SAFE, &c.
By an Extra from the New Orleans Plea
yune, we have advices from Vera Cruz to the
25th ult., brought by the arrival of the bark
Louisiana, Capt Williams.
The Louisiana sailed in company with the
Helen Mcleod, leaving no American merchant
vessels in port, The brig Petersburg, for New
York, got away on the Goth.
The blockade of the port of Vera Cruz COM
menced on the goth. Fifteen days were al
lowed to all neutral vessels in port to load and
depart.
BY orders from the Mexican Government
the American Consul's Office was to be closed
and he and all American citizens were to leave
by the GOTH On that day the Consul expected
to 90 on board the steam frigate Mississippi
This frigate and the Raritan were at anchor off
Vera Cruz on the 25th and the sloop of war
Falmouth was lying off the port.
The Louisiana and Helen Mcleod got off
in great haste to prevent being seized.
The day they sailed news reached Vera Cruz
that Mazatlan and Topic had pronounced in
favor of Santa Anna. Gen. Alvarez was still
carrying on his hostile operations in the south
part of the department Of Mexico.
A report was in circulation that Gen. Paroles
intended to leave the city of Mexico at the
head of more troops to reinforce the army at
the North.
The animosty existing against the Amer
cans has been violently increased by the news
of the two actions of the Sth and 9th ult.
The enormous forced loans which the Gov
eminent had imposed upon the clergy, the lat
ter had declared itself totally unable to meet.
The metropolitan church was ordered to fur
nlsh a subsidy offs sos, 900 per month; the church
of Michoacan s35, 000-of Durango $4,000,
and of Oajaca $4,000 These great sums per
month show that the President is determined
to prosecute the war with energy; he will new
er be able to collect such loans
Senior Gomez Farias, so we'll known here,
has been arrested by the Government.
Gen. Almonte has made formal resignation
of his mission to France.
| In regard to the report as TO Paroles putting
| himself at the head Of the army, Ell Republics
| no saws it is uncertain whether he will repair
| to the Rio Grande or to Vera Cruz but that he
| will leave the capital as soon as Congrers as
sembles.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,


Sir: have received no orders, as yet as
signing me to the immediate command of the
army about to be raised to conquer a peace
within Mexico; but have been told to hold
myself in readiness for that service. From that
moment | have occupied myself, necessarily,
with the vast preliminary arrangements which
can only be made advantageousIy at this place,
through the respective chiefs of the general
statt-the adlutant general; quartermastQr gen
eral, commssary general of subsistence, chief
OF ordnance, and surgeon general. | have been
much occupied also in the distribution of the
quotas OF volunteers needed among the several
States; in apportioning the horse to the foot; IN
the study OF the routes of march and water
conveyances for the several bodies of troops to
the best points in the frontier of Mexico; in the
study of the northern interior, and the south
ern routes of that republic; in looking to the
means of transportation on the Rio Grande, 10
and beyond that river; in determining the dcpots
of supplies of all stores on this side, SC, &c,
As these matters are respectively settled, or
ders and instructions have been, or will be Civ
en-, to the chiefs of the general staff at this
place, and the routes of march and the water
convoyances, together with the depots for sup
plies of every description, are finally to be com
municated to the unknown commanders of
volunteers whose services are TO be accepted.
In the midst ofthese multitudnous and indis-
pensable occupations | have learned from you
that much Impotence is already felt, perhaps in
high quarters, that have not already put my
selfin route for the Rio Grande; and now. with
fourteen hours day Of preliminary work re-
naming on my hands for many days, find my
self compelled to stop that necessary work to
guard myself against, perhaps, utter condem-

Not an advantageous step can be taken in a
