Late News From Mexico.

The brig Josephine, Captain Robinson, ar
rived at News Orleans on the afternoon of
the 9Th inst, from Vera Ctuz, having sailed
from thar port on the Goth ult bringing three
days later intelligence from that point.
The sloop ofwar John Adams was the only
vessel of1he, United States lying at Sacrificios
when the Josephine left, the squadron not
then having returned TO its anchorage, from
a cruise off'the coast There were also an
English, a French, and Spanish vessel of.
war az anchorage there. The only Ameri-
can merchant vessel in port was the Suvia,
from NJ. o.; she had been discharged and
would soon leave for Havana.
The whole Mexican naval force was still
up the Alyarado including the two steamers
ga id TO have been sold, either to the Spanish
Government or to an English house.
The long promised revolution in favor of
Santa Anna, had not yet taken place, nor was
there any apparent probability Gifts occur
renee, as public attention was entirely en-
crossed with the anticipated war witl~the u
nited States, they were not yet aware, ut Yer
Cruz, of actual hostilities having broken
out on the Rio Grande,) and an attack on Yer
Cruz. This expected attack the military
authorities were actively preparing to meet.
There were about 1000 men in the castle Of
San Juan d'Ulloa, and they were constantly
exercised at the guns. The military force of
the place was daily increasing. The castle
was in admirable order ofdefence,wel noun

with French and English gunners. ~

LIES OF THE DAY.

We find the Albany Argus, Rochester Adj
vertiser, and any number more of the Loco
Fuc9 journals, following the cue given from
Washington in representing the two Wing
Senators and fourteen Representatives who
voted against the War bill as hostile to giving
the President power TO send reinforcemcnts
and supplies TO Our beleaguered Army. Er-
cry retailer of this calumny is perfectly aware
OF its, falsehood The Wings were all will
ing to vote for whatever supplies and rein
forcements the President should deem rcqui-
site, but they could not endorse the preamble
ofthe bill, which declared that we were at
war with Mexico, and accused her of COM
mencing it. All the Wings protested agnlnst
the base trick of atfiNing To n supply bill such
a preamble, and thus compelling themto at-
firm what they knew TO he untrue, or else vot-
ing against empowering the President TO send
assistance TO our troops on the Rio Grande.-
Having made their protest, i'll the form of re-
peated motions to mend, so as 10 deprive the
poor cheat OF any substantial force, most OF
the Wings voted for the bill; but sixteen of
them refused to do so: as did Mr. Calhoun, by
sitting silent in his sent when his name was
called. This is the truth ofthe matter. ". Y.
