DEMANDED-REVOLT in THE MEXTCAE
ARMY-A WAR PROBABLE.
BY the arrival of the U. S. Brig Somers a
Pensac ola on the 29Lh ult. in s l-2 days from
Vera Cruz, with dates to the god, we have the
important intelligence that Mr.. SlidelI had beer
again rejected, and having demanded his pass
ports would return home in the st. Mary's in a
few days. The Pensacola correspondent of the
Mobile Tribune says:
There was consi derable excitement at Vera
Cruz growing out of this movement, and the
opinion prevailed that our squadron would op.
en- a fire upon the place after Mr.. Slidell took
his deparure-the truth of this we shall learn
on the arrival of the st. Mary's.
There was another revolution anticipated to
take place in a very few days. Gen. Ampu-
da's army, which had been orHered to the
frontier of Texas, had revoted and about 1000
refusedIto march any further in that direction,
and the remainder, about 1000, not being very
DESTROYS to proceed themselves would not force
the others, so they came TO halt.
The following extract of a letter from an
officer on board the Somers, we copy from the
Pensacola Democrat extra.
On the 10th Mr.. Dimond was informed by
Il letter from Mr.. Parrot, of the Legation, that
Mr. Sldell had demanded his passports, kav-
ing been refused reception as Minister al
though the Mexican Cabinet expressed a per-
feet willingness to treat with Commissioner
on the Texas question. He also wrote that
Mr. Sdell would be in Vera Cruz in the course
of W eek, and would Immediately take pas
sage therelrom for the United States. Tho
St. Mary's was in readiness for his accommo-
dalton when we left.
On the 18th Com. Conner received letter
from Mr.. Black, our Consul in Mexico. He
appeared TO be somewhat exhilerated by the
cheering intelligence brought from England by
the Cambria, which he had Just received. He
writes that if this news had been sooner receiv-
ed MIR. Slidell would have been received, and
throws out suggestion that our mission may
be accepted at the latest moment. Although
Mr.. Blacks location should give him manyad.
vantages for forming accurate opinions, do
not think we have much reason for hoping that
his hopes will be realized, although most any
thing may be- expected from the unstable Coun-
ellis of Mexico. Mr.. Slidell has certainly de-
manded his passports at a fortunate moment
when the news from England and the state of
the country, and more especially the fears Of
our squadron are conspiring to act on the ire
solution of Mexico.
The people of Vera Cruz are awfully fright
ened and are, as will BIO seen by the newspa-
pers, moving out of the city. The Mexican
Navy has been taken in tow Of the steamers
to u place of absolute safety: far mp one of the
neighboring rivers. The people of Vera Cru,
wish to see the question between US settled, anc
having never been very warmly attached to the
revolutionary government, threaten pronun-
ciemento unless their wishes are regarded
Upon the whole have never seen the senti-
ment of the people Sc favorable to us as at pre-
sent. The discussion of this monarchy ques-
ton has, am persuaded, done much for u.s.
Nine tenths of the people of Mexico are ardent
Republicans: it is only few Of the high class
and aristocracy who support the views Of the
Royal party. There is an interesting article on
this subject in the last papers.
The British Minister, writing to the English
Commander on the station, says that he can
not persuade these people that England will
not cooperate with them against the United
States-they have the greatest confidence that
England is going to interfere to prevent theiI
being bulied by US, that he has unequvocally
ntimated that their hopes would not be realiz-
ed.
In the last papers will be found notice o
the fragrant attack by Gen. Paroles on tn;
freedom of the Press and the persons of The
editors and printers. This is a dangerous pro
ceeding on the part of the President, and mus
arouse strong resentment and fearful opposi
ton.
A large part of the troops under Gen. Am
Pudia have mutinied.
We have received reports from Jalapa tina
the Northern Provinces are about to reCed
from the confederacy.
