STILL LATER FROM MEXICO.

STILL LATER FROM MEXICO.
We copy the following from the New Or
leans Picayune Of the 20lh. Every line and
word is full of Interest,"
We have received by the schooner Mits
paners from Vera Cruz TO the 9Th inst, being
eli Eht days later than our advices by way of
Havana. Their intelligence is interesting
and not without importance.
We miss the papers ofthe lst inst, which
contained Santa Annals address from San
Luis, in which he endeavors TO heal the
discussions of parties in the capital, and
renounces forever for himself political Office.
Judging from the tone of the papers, this will
not do. Parties are so embitered> against
each other that he only can stay their excess
es and unite the country. All appeal TO him
especially the extreme federalits, TO assume
power. In the end he will be constrained 10
do so, or civil war ensue. The tone OF the
Mexican papers is embittered against us as
ever Nothing is talked of in the Provinces
but the war; and in the capital, .ut the wal
and the political divisions. But let US first
bring up the news as TO the expedition Of
Tabasco.
When Com. Perry left the anchorage neal
Vera Cruz for Tabasco, the Mexicans suppo
sed that AlvaradO was again to be attacked
1t was only some days after that they learned
his real destination. Their first accounts
of the result were published on the I'd inst
They treat it as wanton, predatory exped
ton. prompted only by the defenceless stale
of Tabasco, and they taunt US with our two
repulses from Alvarado and defy US TO renew
the attempt.
The Indicator says that the Captain Gen
eral at Vera Cruz received dispatches OF
The 5th inst, the United States TO the Mex
lean Secretary Of State of Foreign Affairs
The porport was unknown TO the editor
Lbut he presumes il TO be another proposal OF
our part for peace-Mr. Polk presuming tina
the fall of Monterey will dispose the Mexi
cans to submission. |; will turn out goo6
4 10 Ike, says the editor, for Mr.. Polk [spellinl
it Pork by accident when he finds out tina
that misfortune has produced an effect pre-
cisely contrary; and that there is not a maj
in the nation who thinks of peace until thu
United States has given satisfaction for thu
injuries they have done ussand indemniiet
US for the injuries inflicted by their Wanda
, crusade. He goes on TO say that the suprem
government neither wishes nor is it authOrl
/ zed to enter upon negotiations. The subjec
belongs 10 the Congress 10 assemble in DE
cember, which assuredly will not render nu
. the efforts which the nation is aking I
obtain by open force complete justice. Their
will be peace, he adds if the American
wish il, but it will be upon these condition
and after the preiminaries have been settle
at San Luis or further towards the frontier
E The Government received dispatches o.
the lst inst. from Santa Anna with a state
ment of what measures for defence he ha
: taken, and expressing hope that he shout
be able 10 repair the honor of the nation
Santa Anna also wrote that General Taylc
fhad received from Washington a million G
dollsrs, and reinforcemens which carried til
number of his troops to $4,000.
:, The papers still complain of the excesse
: committed by the Americans at Monterey
:. Families continued to leave for Salullc
: and from The neighborhoodsof the latter cit
even, they were going south TO escape tb
;, visitation of our troops.
> A letter witten from San Luis Potosi OF
the 2Sth of October says there were the
. $4,000 troops there, and that in fifteen day
= more there would probably be 10000. Their
;, was no room for people in the city and pre-
visions were excessively scarce.
Gen. Santa Anna had ordered a numbe
> of officers TO leave their commands in the al
n my and repair 10 the village of Pozos fc
= trial on the charge of cowardce at Monterey
:, The list includes Gems. Jaurequ and Ra
= mirez; Coils. Carasco and Encisco; Lieu
. Coils. Castro and Fernandez; Commandant
= of Squadrons, Bena Landeros and Ramirez
: and First Adjutant Mariana Huerla: of tn
= battalion of San Luis.
We have long despatch from Almont
. giving directions for the execution of a de
y cree of Salas, commanding people in pos
e session of arms to bring them in for the US
. of the Government, 10 be appraised, &c
We have no time for the details, but tn
Government shows itself in earnest in bring
e ing out all the material in The country.
u Gen. Santa Anna has declined TO receiv
:. any pay for his services.
: The Government of the State of San Lu
is Potosi has passed decree expelling fror
:, its limits every Anglo-American living Their
