Passports ~-Consslaafdl in Vera apprehension
Of another Revolution Revolt Of General Anpulias
for8S- -OltRSes upon the political pnss &C.
The U. S, brig of war Somers, Captain
ingraham, arrived at Pensacola on the 29th
ult. BY This conveyance we have receiv-
ed our files from the city of Mexico TO the
18th and from Vera Cruz 10 the 10Th uIt.
These files together with our correspon-
dence, were forwarded TO us by our cor.
respondent at, Pensacola, to whose atten.
tion and activity we have been often n>
debted for intelligence of moment.
The Somers brought dispatches from
Mr.. Slidell of so urgent character, that
they were forwarded TO Washington City bv
special express.
We infer from the alarm of the citizens
OF Vera Cruz, and the laying up of the
Mexican Navy out of the reach of the U
States Squadron, that the people and Gov
ernment Of Mexico have come to think that
the U. States have borne as much TOM
foolery and insult as ought to be expected
of her.
MIR. Slidell was expected to arrive at
Vera Cruz on the 25th ult. The U. S. soop
Of war ST. Mary was waiting Cor him at
Sacrifcios.
The correspondence which we append
will furnish our readers with an ADEQUATE
idea OF the state of things in Mexico.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PlCAYUNE,
Pensacola Navy Yard, March 30.
The United States brig Somers, d. N
ingraham, Esq, commander, sailed from
Vera Cruz on the 9Oth inst, and ar
rived at Pensacola afIsg passage of nine
days.
She brings dates from the city of Mexi-
co to the l4h inst.
On the 18th Of March, information was
received at Vera Cruz, from sources en-.
titled to the fullest reliance, that the Mex
lcan Government had given final and
positive refusal to receive MIR. Slidel. as
Minister Plenipotentiary, with full powers,
but had also expressed their willingness to
treat with commissioner for the adjust.
ment OF the Texas question. Mr.. Slidell
had demanded his passports. and would
take passage for the U. States near the
25th inst.
Letters from the Capitol, from the best
informed persens, state, apparently with
much confidence, that if the news brought
from England by the Cambria in February
had reached Mexico little earlier before
the final answer of the Government had
been transmitted, that the decision would
have been IN favor of receiving Mr.. SIidell
on his own terms. The Mexican Cabinet
haye been unquestionably sustained by
the hope of European Intervention; and
our differences with England have led them
TO court upon the corporation of that power,
with the fullest confidence.
1t is SAID that the British Minister has
not encouraged said expectations, but that
the convictions of the Mexicans have not
been shaken by his "guarded sience,'' or
by unequivocal intimation that their homes
were deluslve.
The news by the Cambria must have
arrived IN Mexico by the 18th inst, the
date ofthe last advices from that city. A
vessel from New York on the 18th brouoht
news still later, by eight or nine days.
Of the probable settlement of the Ore,
gon question on the basis of the 49th
parallel.
AS Mr.. SlIdell has not, therefore, actually
received his passports, those who know the
lrresolution and unstable policy of Mexi,
can administration, may esteem it possible
that the answer to Mr.. Slidel will be re,
considered, and his mission, at the last
moment, accepted under a satisfactory
compromise or an admission of his preten,
sons to the full extent. This surmise is
only admissible in view of the uncertain
nature Of Mexican politics, and we have
every reason to believe that Mr.. Slidell
having been twice rejected by Mexico, and
refused opportunity to pay his diplomatic
addresses, he abandoned the courtship and
is by this time on his way to the United
States.
A panic prevailed in Vera Cruz in con.
