FROM MExICo-Mr. S1;deu Rejected.


The Missouri Republican of the 9th inst.
says: The steamer Princess arrived at this
port las, evening from New Orleans. bring
ing US dates from that city of the 3lst ult.
The news of most interest is contained in
second edition Of the Picayune of that
day. Intelligence has been received from
Mexico to the l4th ut., brought by the U.
8. brig SOmers to Pensacola, which vessel
left Vera Cruz on the Goth.
| On the 18th March information was received
at Vera Cruz, from sources entitled to the fullest
reliance, that the Mexican government had given
a final and positive refusal 10 receive Mr.. Slidel,
as minister plenpotentiary with full powers, but
had also expressed their willingness 10 treat with
commissioner for the adjustment OF the Texas
question. Mr.. Sldell had demanded his pass.
ports, and would take passage for the United
States near the 25th inst.
Letters from the capital, says a letter to the
Picayune, dated at Pensacola Navy Yard from
the best informed sources, state that il the news
from England, by the Cambria, had reached
Mexico little earlier-it was carried down by
the Somers and reached Mexico on the 14th--
before the final answer Of the government had
been transmitted, the decision would have been
in favor Of receiving Mr.. Slidell on his own
terms. The Mexican cabinet have been un.
questionably sustained by the hope Of European
intervention; and our differences with England
have led them 10 count upon the cooperation Of
that, with the fullest confidence.
\ AS Mr.. Slidell has not therefore, actually re.
ceived his passports, those who know the irreso
luton and unstable policy OF Mexican admin.
istration, may esteem il possible that the answer
TO MIR. Slidell will be reconsidered and his mis-
sion, at the last moment, accepted under salts
factory compromise or an admission Of bis pre-
tensions 10 the full extent.
The letter proceeds: A panic prevailed at Vera
Cruz in consequence Of the supposed intention
Of our fleet to blockade or open hostlities on the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Sdell.
The people were deserving the city, and TIVE
; days before the Somers sailed, all the Mexican
navy were sent under a tow Of steamers, to q

and calls on the authorities TO adopt such precau.

A detachment OF 1900 men was on its way
to reinforce the garrison at Vera Cruz, and San
Juan de Ulloa. There are said 10 be about 1000
, men in the castle. 1t is also reported that more
troops have been despatched in the direction OF
Mstamoras, and that an expedition against the
y CALIFORNIA; had actually left the capital. Gen.
Ampuda, you will recollect, left the capital about
two months ago with large body of troops for
the northern frontier. He has arrived at San
Louis Potosi. On attempting to move from that
: famous bal,ing place Of ell the armies of The
NORTH he was arrested by mutinous outbreak,
and more than 1000 OF his men refused to march
further. The gallant General seized the stand.

them as paltroons, stimulated their patriotism to
follow the national banner. This appeal pro.
duced temporary impression. Order was 70
stored in the ranks, and line Of march resumed.
Blu. on arriving at the gates Of the city, the mu.
tineefs were again in the ascendant, and breaking
from the ranks, returned to the city, took posses
sion Of some OF The churches, and prepared 10
resist any attempts to coerce them. Ampudia
T has thus far diligently followed the footsteps of
his illusrious predecessor, Paroles. Is some new
revolution masked under this military revolt?

There is but little doubt tina! they will declare

The Somers brings dispatches from Mr.. Sli.
dell to our Government, which will probably
announce the failure Of his mission and his inten.

The case of TYRRELL, tried at Boston
for the murder of Maria Bickford, was
closed on Saturday, the 2sth, by verdict
of notguilty. after an absence on the part
Of the jury of two hours and quarter. Ii
is said that the ground of this verdict was
want of proof. There was no direct
evidence to convict him of the act, and
the crcumstantial testimony was very con.

was given to establish the possibili.y-if
