FROM MEXICO.

FROM MEXICO.
The French barque Anax, Capt. Pomn'ares. ar
rived q, this port Yesterday from Vera Cruz, which
place she left on the 23d ult. She brings no pa.
pers we understand, and precious little news Of
any kind. Indeed things seem to have chnnged
10 The slightest possible degree, since our last ad.
vices. Mr.. Slidell was still at Jalapa-Paredes
wa. still in power--Tornel succeeded Al.
mon,e--and the people We suppose wero dream.
ing Of new revolutions. We have been kindly
favored with copy of letter received by gen
,leman Of this city from his friend in Vera Cruz,
which contains, we presume, about all the infor.
nation 10 be had, and which, returning many
thanks for the accommodation, we subjoin.

! Dear Sir IL should like TO send you q great
deal Of news but am really in such hurry that
have no time to crafty my wishes. The Water
Witch will sail, however, for your port 10 five or
six days, when hope to he able to give you some.
thing definite. Atpresent the country, though ap.
parenly quiet. is really in an unsettled condition.
Every man is dissatisfed-no man feels secure.
Tho government of Paroles is conftssedly tom.
pnrary, and fails TO enlist the slightest confidence.
There is design here, as we believe, to subvsrt
the Republic altogether and establish monarchy
under the joint protection Of England, France and
Spain, and it is supposed that the proec. may sue.

selected for the Kng-inasnuch as the influence
Of the clergy in his behalf is strongly, though
think enormously, counted upon. That Paroles
avors the project there is every reason to believe;
indeed, a new paper established at tho capital,
called El TEMPO, and understood 10 be under the
influence Of The government. boldly and ably nd,
vocales The scheme. But it can never succeed.
The old revolutionary spirit yet burns in the hear,
Of the people, and those who drove ou, the SIani.
ards aud overthrow Iiurbide, are no, likely ngain
soon 10 submit To the monarchicnI yoke. 10 fact.
the people Of this city very freely talk of asking
Inc protecting presence Of inc stripes and sta rs.
1t is believed that Santa Anna 10 at the bottom of
the movement, not because he wans it to succeed,
but under the belief that the whole people will
rise in favor Of his recall and firmly establish MIN
in power.
On Wednesday last the Saratoga and St. Mary's
arrived at this port. the Porpolse had been here
for several days, and the Lawrence had ius, sni.
ed, with. it is said, important dispatches from Mr.
SlidelI, the American Minister. Sau,es were ex.
changes. between the vessels and the town. !, is
rumored in the public places that n a,ge Ameri
can force is shortly expected, and much anxiety
is felt at lfeir supposed hostile intentions.
Almonte has resigned his pos, and Torne, the
former Secretary Of War. is appointed in the
place.
hr. SiideIl is st al Jaiapa awaiting, it Is sup.
posed, instructions from, his government.
This morning the steamer Guadaloupe sailed
Tor Tampico, with some five hundfeu iroops on
board, 10 reinforce, some say, the army Of the
North--oihers, 10 suppress nm insurrection which
10 said to have broken out in Tnmaupas. There
was some difficulty in getting the steamer under
way, the engineers and working hands being
principally English and Americans, refused 10
proceed unless their arrears were made good by
the government. They were finally paid off and
proceeded in their duty. The Montezuma is un.
dergoing thorough repairs and will be soon fitted
for sea, aud in my opinion will prove mos,
efficient vessel. particularly with the heavy guns
that are intended 10 be pr, nn board Of her
Great activity is also exhibited al the castle, and
means nre being taken to put il in perfcc, state
Of defence. But--that is oil. If,here be any thing
worth giving before the Anax saiIs to morrow,
will give it in postscript. Good night.
Yours, &c.
