MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.

Blythe good fortune we obtained yester-
day the use Of file of Mexican papers
nearly complete, for the month of August.
In elancing through them with constrained
rapidityi we CLEANED some items Of infor-
maion, which we have not elsewhere
seen, aud which may serve to illustrate
the present stale OF Mexico.
Gen. Paredes was still prisoner in the
castle Of Perote. When made prisoner he
was on his way to Queretaro, escorted By
fifty lancers and surrounded by few mil.
itary friends: The detachment in pursuit
consisted of 500 troops. aud came UP with
him a, the hacienda of Ahuehuetes of the
5rh Of August: The commander of these
troops al once thtimated to him the folly
Of .esissancej and be surrendered without
struggle. He was conducted at once to
the capital, being treated with perfect
courtesy and consideration. He deman-
ded to be allowed to leave the country
This was not thought safe before the rev.
oIution should be completely consumma-
ted, and for greater security he was, after
remaining several daysin Mexico, conduc-
ted to Perots, where he now lies. Some
papers talk of doing justice upon him as a
mondrckis. and a traitor, but the tone of
Gen. Salas is quite osherwise-altogether
respectful and expressive Of regret that he
should be subject to- military restraint
SaIas submits his case 10 the discretion Of
Santa Anua. We expect soon TO hoar Of
his enlargement. In noting, the depar-
ture Of Santa Anna from Vera Cruz on
the 18th, and the approach Of Geu. Pa
redcs towards Paroteat the same moment,
Ell Indicator exclaims, "Whal coinci-
denceE ruscrutable are the mysteries Of
Divine Providence !"
Gen. Bravo, the late Vice President. is
treated BY the papers with as much re-
gard as when in power. He has suffered
no restraint whatever.
Gen. SaIas, who exercised supreme
command from the 7th to tho 20th Au-
gust, processes to have done as little as
possible of his owH will, and only what
was urgently demanded by the necessity
Of the case.

tile Governors Of differen, Departments tc
