We have news direct from, Mexico down
to the 18th, and Vera Cruz to the 10Th ult.
The war brig Somers brought dispatches
to Pensacola from Mr.. Slidell, Of SO impor-
tant character, that they were expressed
direct 10 Washington. 1t is said that the
Mexican Government has absolutely re-
fused to receive Mr.. Slidell as Minister
but that she would not have done SO, had
the news BY The Cambria arrived there
sooner. She has been, all along, calcnlat-
ing upon the interference of England. Mr..
Slidell had demanded his passport and was
to leave for the United States about the
25,h ult. The British Minister in Mex
leo has observeda strict silence in the mat
ter.
We also learn, that, Mr.. Slidell had not
received his passport and that it was bare
! ly possible that the Government would re-
consider his answer, and finally accept him
with fill powers. But yet it is doubtful
whether he will make any further attempt
to gain the favor Of that foolish and unhap-
py people. There was great panic at
Vera Cruz, the people were deserving the
city, the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed in
all circles, the Mexican navy had been
towed far up the river Alvorado: to screen

that an expedition against the CALIFORNIA;

dia, you will recollect, left the capital about
two months ago. with large body oftroops

at San Luis potosi. On attempting to

the armies of the north, he was arrested by

The gallant General seizing the standard,
appeared before the revolters. and sham
ing them as poltroons, s,imu lated their rat

at the gates Of the city, the mutineers were
again in the ascendant, and breaking from
The ranks, returned to the city, took pos

Ampudia has thus far diligently followed
the footsteps Of his illustrious predecessor,
Paredes. Is some new revolution masked
under this military revolt?
The monarchy party had aroused the in
dignation Of the masses to such degree,
that they had ceased openly to advocate
the measure, but resorted to intrigue to
effect their purposes. The clergy and
high, aristocracy are the main supporters
Of the monarchy party. Paroles and his
cabinet are rather noncommitted, but so
far as demonstration has been made, have
shown themselves for monarchy. Paroles
