DEL LIS SMlSSION-DENhND FOX HIS PASS
PORTS-REFUSAL OF AN ESCORr-PARE-
DES INSTALLED PREsIDENT-SELECrIO
OF A NEW MINISTRY, &c.
BY the arrival Of the bark Pdrio, Capt. Kin
ncy, the New Orleans pa pers have advices from
Vera Cruz to the 18th, and from the city Of
Mexico to the sth ult. The news is highly
important, and renders war between the Unit
ed States and Mexico, quite probable. We ga
ther the following intelligence from our New
Orleans exchanges:
CFrom the Bulletin, 2ith ult,l
The accounts of the entire success of the
revolutionary movement under Paredes, are
confirmed. That officer has established him
self in the capital and has been elevated to tho
Presidency, dd interim.
He entered the city on the I'd inst, and ii
meeting of the principal officers was held,
which provided, among other matters, or Il
temporary government, that Junta Of "nota-
bles," representing each Department, should
assemble and elect person TO exercise the ex-
eculive functions. The Junla accordingly as
sembled on the Sd, and unanimously elected
Paredes. Much discussion was had as to the
form Of oath that should be administered to
the President some of the Junta declaring
that in addlu n to usual obligations, he should
swear to "ropel the usurpauons of the United
States" This proposition did not prevail; an
oath, varying but little from the customary
form, was decided on The inauguration took
place with much ceremony on the 4th, after
which TC DcHm was celebrated in the Ca
thedral The President made an address, ap-
peallng to Heaven for the disnterestedncss of
his motives, and declaring that as soon as the
country had established her liberties, he should
retire.
The present Ministry is composed of: d.
Juan N. Almonte, Minister of War; d. Cas-
tllo Lauzar, Foreign Affairs; ID. Luis Par
res, Treasury; Becerrra Bishop OF Chapas) of
| Justice.
Gen. Valencia, formerly Governor of the
city of Mexico, has been made Comptroller of
the Mint.
Generals Tornel, Valencia and Paredes held
a Council at Guadalupe, village few miles
I fIom Mexico, some days since, TO make ar
engagements to consolidate the Government
| 1t will be remembered that Tornel was former
| ly Minister of War and Marine under Santa
! Ana.
The city of Mexico remains perfectly tran
quill, and all precautionary measures against a
counter-revoIution have been discontinued
The Siglio XIX a paper which atterly was a
warm partisan of the Herrera policy, and has
been ably conducted, is stopped, the proprietor
having replaced 1t by paper bearing the title
"Aiemoriat Hist0ric0," of which we have re-
celved the first eight numbers.
We learn verbally that Mr.. Slidell had de-
mandpd of the new Government his passports,
and received in reply that, as he had never
been recognized by the Government and was
Unknown TO them, no passports were necessa-
ry; aud he was al liberty to 90 where he pleas
ed. He then demanded an escort to Vera
Cruz, which was refused; whereupon he dis
patched a messenger to the brig SomGrs and
number Of the officers of that vessel had de-
lermined 0 proceed to Jalapa for the purpose
of escorling hm to the coast. The Somors ar
rived at Vera Cruz on the 9th. IL will be re-
collected that she sailed from Pensacola about
twenty days since with sealed orders. We
place confidence IN the reports with regard to
| Mr., Siideil, except perhaps the statement that
the officers ct the Sumers had gone TO his as
sstance aud if he had in fact been refused a
sele escort by the Mexican Government, no
thing can be more reasonable Or probable than
that our Naval officers within reach of his call
snould resolve not 10 leave him TO the pcrilS oi
the journey alone. Letters OF the 18th, how
ever, only make mention OF the fact that MIR.
SIdcll had demanded his passports, "hayng
failed N the objects Of ms mission"
! ILe u tied States brig Somers, Commander
Gerry, was at Sacriicos on the 18th, as also
the British brig Persian, the French brig Gnt-
ion, and the Spanish bngh Patriota.
From the picayune 24h uIt
The city was filled yesterday with contra
dictory rumors in regard to Mr SIideH. The
report at first credited was that he had been
. / H., 10,
demanded an escort from Jalapa to Vera Cruz,
which was refused to him. that Commander
Gerry, ofth Somers, then lying at Vera Cruz
upon this proceeded with detachment OF Of
hcers aEd marines TO escort Mr.. SlideIl to the
coast, distance OF SOME 10 or so miles. We
do not attach much credit to this rumor--it
appears impossible. Again: 4 Iettc. dated
the sab, from Vera Cruz says, that tap TO that
date Mr.. Sldcl had not demanded VI tine new
government any recognition Of hs official Ca
pacly, bat the popular belief WIS that such re-
| cOgntiqu WoUid be refused. Another letter
dated the 18th says: "Mr. Sdel has demand
cd his passports, having failed in the object of
| his mission" This appears to US the more
probable version. The Mexican papers before
Us say nothing en- the subject.
A number Of important dispatches were re-
ccived by the Paro, which were yesterday for
warded to Washington by mail. So far as we
can learn no letters have been received ia town
from Mr. Slidoll Of late date. Our own
opinion is, that at the time the Pario sailed
| that gentleman was at PueblG.
LIABILITY oY RAHRoADs.--An action was
brought before Jacob Bradenbaugh Esq. at
EIlicotts Mills, last week, by VIM. P. jerks,
Esq. to recover from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company, the sum of five dollars dam
ages for not furnishing the plaintiff return
conveyance, he having purchased ticket for
the round trip from ELECTS Mills to Balti-
more ami back, and the company having de-
