IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

By the United States ship 81. Marys, which ar
rived at Pensacola on the I'd instant in ten days
from Vera Cruz, we learn Through the Pensacola
Gazette of the refusal of the Mexican Govern
ment to receive Mr.. SLIDELL as Minister from the
United States. Mr. s., however, has not returned
in the ST. Marys, does the Gazette vouch for the
correctness of the news; but says that it is " dis
posed to credit on account of our critical rea-
tons with Great Britain, a circumstance of which
: Mexico would not hesitate to take advantage
On the other hand, the Pensacola Democrat which
says that Mr.. SLIDELL "was not well received
ascribes the conduct of the Mexican Government
to the impending revolutions by which it is cmbar
rassed.
A private letter, dated at Pensacola on the Sd in
slant, which we find in the Mobile Journal, throw.
but little additional high; the subject. II says:
Thc ST. Marys, which vessel you will remember carried
Minister to Vera Cruz, arrived here yesterday evening
after voyage Of days. and anchored off the Navy Yard
Up the time write from shore has boarded her but
several had ashore from her. She understood bring
large dispatches for Government Those who from
her report and the report is credited that Minister

nsuc Another version of the story u.s. that he was not
ever resolve themselves pretty much the thing This
statement has created little excitement here and if true
have but little doubt the other is it presumed
that the entire Gulf squadron will shortly appear before Vera
Cruz"
The New Orleans Courier Of January 3, with
some information apparently not possessed by other
papers of that city, discusses at large the probabi
lily of the success of Mr.. SLIDELL's Mission to
Mexico. According to its views las translated and
condensed for the Picayune) this success must de-
pend upon the ability Of the Government Of Prcsi-
dent Herrera to Withstand the attack of Paredes.
The Courier enters at length into the circumstances
and position of both these chieftains, as well as
of Generals Arista and Bustamente, and thence it
deduces the almost certain triumph OF Paroles.
But the principle upon which Paredes will 90 into
power is that of unqualified resistance to the an
nexation Of Texas to the United States, and to the
of the Mexican Republic. Hence,
the Courier argues, his supremacy will be fatal to the
hopes entertained of success for the American Min
lister. The latest account received at Nev Orleans
brought report that Paroles had declared against
Herrera, and was marching upon the capital but in
the mean time the Government organ al Mexico has
officially announced that Paroles had assured the
President that he would stand by and support the
Government in negotiating with the United States
in case the popular clamor against making peace
should endanger the safety Of the Government.
Private letters have been received from Mr.
SLIDELL, which state that he arrived in the city of
Mexico on the 9Th December, and was still there
on the 18th, but they make known nothing defn-
tive on the subject of his reception"
We have other intelligence, protesting to be
founded on reports brought by the 81. Mary's,
which represents Mexico to be in great state of
commotion, daily anticipating revolution, which
restrains the present Government believed to be
favorable to the reception Of Mr. SLIDELL) from
taking any action on the subject
