FROM MEXICO.

We perceive that the accounts received ON Satur-
day evening from New Orleans are not confirmed
by the official accounts The Picayune" reports
as one of the pieces of intelligence brought by the
brig Pario that "a letter written at Vera Cruz on
the 18th ultimo, the day on which the Pario sailed,
simply SAYS: Mr. Slidell demanded his passports,
having failed in the object of his mission" W.
do moi understand that Mr.. SLIDELL has yet de
naaaded his passports, or that he has receired any
Thing like defniiiUe ns,cer from The Gopern-
menf. A letter has been received from Jalapa on
the 18th January, which states that Mr.. SLDELL
was expected to arrive in that town via Puebla on
that or the following day.
There is too much reason to aPprehend that the
mission may not be productive Of the success which
there was some reason to anticipate. The Access
sion OF ALMoNTE and ToRNEL to the existing Adj
minisration is no very faterng sign OF favorable
result. Mr.. SLiDELL will do, however, every thing
which is to be expected from his acknowledged ta-
Tents when he receives his commission under the
\ recent confirmation of the Senate.
Some rumors are still afoat OF design on the
part Of Great Britain, France, and Spain TO place
