should be strictly detained al Puebla ana Inc OIL
vers even are enoned 10 preserve slience as 10
what NAV transpire al Vera Cruz. This may be

men are thinking about in The capital, ana mat

threatens ;,
Ii is mentioned in The papers that the President
has increased very considerably inc aelachtheh.
assigned to guard his residence, as II ne were mol
without apprehension of difficulties IN Inc Guy OF
Mexico.
The Mexican papers now deny the blockade OF
MaZalan, and tell a long story 10 sho" no" 'he
rumor was started.
Mention is also made of an Intellectual attempt
OF the Incians in the South of Mexico, 10 gel up
an instruction for purposes OF rapine ana pun

From III. New Orleans Delta OF the 25'h April,
we copy III, following additional particulars:
By the arrival yesterday OF the Mexican schr.
Ventura, Capt Dorantes, at This port, IL days
from Vera Cruz, we are in receipt OF later Mex
can dates.
The political news is unimportant The con.
lest between The monarchisls and republicans SUI
continues, and it would seem from I'll monitor,
that the government has at last iairly embraced
The princi,les ofthe monarchical party, for IN us
number OF The 4th April, il remarks that ii ITEM
DO is but second edition of FL Diario del Go
bierno so much So that il advises The subscribers
ofrhe Two papers moi 10 fatigue themselves oy looK-
ing al both, as the reading OF one will answer Tue
same purpose as the reading OF The other.
Il has been announced in several OIL lhe papers,
,ha, ,hc government has assembled JUNO OF
several members !: ,he liberal party, for The pur-
pose of tax ne such measures agreeable 10 lhe,,
as will prevent a revolution. The editor OF FL
| Monitor. however thinks this is something OF
fiction.
We copy the following items from FL Monitor
of The Alb April According lohe Diar,o EN- sei
the government has received advices lhal the ori
| pade unI. .s command OF Gen. De la Vega mao
effected a iunc,ion at Matamoras with the com
mand oil Cen Mejia; and that the division OF
Gen. Anpudia had departed on The LIST April from
Monterey; from which it was naturally concluded
that The whole Mexican army would shortly be
concentrated in front OF the enemy, who had ad-
! vanced 10 Santa Isabel. The regiment OF caval-
nv of Oaxaca, and the battalion of Jamiltepec,
had marched 10 Jalapa. A considerable quaint
~ Of munitions Of war, particularly artillery, mad
been despatched 70 Vera Cruz.
On The Sd OF April the President and all the
principal Offices .. the Government visited The
powder r.. .uiactory Of Santa Fe, and after mi
mt, examination OF all its departments, made
such arrangements and alterations in The admin
istration OF the manufacture, as il was deemed ne
cessary 10 secure a speedy and constant supply oil
this first element OF war.
The adyices from MaZallan are TO The 23d OF
March and they stale That the report that that city
is bIockaded, is, as we we'll knew, false, although
the American squadron is laying at anchor IN
front OF that place.
The Department OF Sinaloa is, Tor wonder,
perfectly quiet, and has submitted 10 the control OF
Paroles The troops under the command OF Col.
Tees have left Guadalajara for Topic. The
South OF Mexico is covered BY respectable body
Of troops under the command OF General Guz-
man, and tranquility is perfectly established. The
remainder OF the army is being equipped with The
utmost activity.
We learn from Fl Espec,ador, that, on the 18th
of March, party OF some forty Americans en-
tered the town OF Monterey and disarmed about
twenty men in garrison, and arrested Capt Cava-
EOS. whom they soon set free, however. Ihey
demanded corn, meat and other provisions ne
civil authorities armed The inhabitants against
these oarbarians and finally defeated them. Inc
good people OF Monterey appeared 10 think them
the advanced guard Of Texan General named
GEES Of whom we never heard before.
In lale number Of La Hesperia, the editor
remarks that the Senate of the United States IS
proceeding with great caution in the consldefa-
lion of The Oregon quesion-an opinion very pre-
yalent in our own country.
The Mexican Government has prosecuted TWO
newspapers and Two officers Of the army. The
Reiorma and The Contra-Tiempo journals IN
the interest of Santa Anna, have been seized,
and Gerecero, editor Of the former, and Luis rs,
pino, of the latter, have been arrested. Genera
Limo Alcorla has been ordered TO proceed 10 oax-
aca-Capt Schia6no has been ordered 10 San
Juan de Ulloa. .,.d
