AHnlra In Mexico.

From the New Orleans Pcayune June 23]
The U.S sloop Of Falmouth arrived at Pensacola
the 10Th inst from of Vera Cruz whence she sailed
on the 4th inst
The IT, S. stcamfrigate Princeton had arrived OF Vera
blockade Of the port
Our news from the city of Mexico is later than We
Congress was finally organized on the LIST inst but we
do not learn whether legal quorum was obtained The
reader will recall that when Mr. Dimoni our late Consul
at Vera Cruz left on the Both u he was decidedly Of
opinion that quorum could not legally be obtained
and such appears to have been the case down to the
evening Of the 30th ult.
General Paredes had at last determined to leave the
capital and take the command Of the OF the frontier
The result Of the actions Of the 9Th and 9th Of May is said
to have made upon him profound impression We de-
tect in the tone ofhe papers which comment upon those
actions direct attempts to palllae the extent Of the dis
aser intended for the Provisional President rather than
the public But Paredes would to appreciate the
full extent Of the caamy and perhaps he judges right
y that the most certain means to confirm his power in
the Republic s to retrieve in the honors lost at
Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma He to leave the
capital the 9th ins at the head Of 5000 troops but
orders had been issued that large bodies should join him
different points the line Of march, that his entire
force including Arstas command should not fall short
Although we have now received intelligence by the
way of Havana and Of Tampico, and by the Falmouth
that Paredes would certainly take the command Of the
among men Of sagacy in Vera Cruz when the Falmouth
left that he would not and could not venture to leave the
city OF Mexico during the session Of Congress is said
The news received here fortnight since OF the revolt at
Mazatlan is confirmed and then anticipated Sonora
is in a state Of rebellion against the Central Govern
ment
SO ripe for revolution the Department Of Vera Cruz,
that upon the departure of the Falmouth was said there
$50 outside the city OF Vera Cruz ready to
attack it at any moment, upon the signal being given
Some of the guns had actually been removed from the
Castle Of SanJuan de Uoa and placed around the city for
its defence and troops had been withdrawn from the
castle for the purpose The intelligence received
from Tampico Sunday shows how that city was rent
by internal and in considering the deplora
bic state Of the country in every quarter and under
every aspect it would by means surprise us were
Paroles compelled orego his cherished purpose Of
placing himself at the head of the Mexican army But
suppose he carries his resolution into effect what better
fate awaits him at the hands Of or and our roops
Truly his chances from every point OF view appear des
perate.
To illustrate the trcachery Of Gen. Alvarez towards
Parede the story is circulated at Vera Cruz that the
former who had the command of the forces at MaLatlan
supplied with 81 800 600 with which to act against
the American squadron in the Pacific No sooner had
Alvarez obtained the funds than he pronounced against
Parcdes kept all the money and sold the cannon in
the forts.
The British brig Reliance Capt Doane, arrived at this
port yesterday from Tampico having sailed on the 6th
inst Tho Reliance was chartered at Liverpool to pro
go for Cork She was prevented from y.sferming her
voyage by the bockadng squadron and left Tampico
the company with several vessels previously re-
ported at Tampico the time allowed by the terms OF the
