"The Raritan is beautiful ship, and sails fast.
She will leave in few days for Vera Cruz, and
should we have brush with Mexico, think the

FROM MEXICO.
Fifteen days iaier from Vera Crrs.
The brig oceana, Captain Creighton, arrived al,
this port last evening from Vera Cruz, having sailed
thence on the 18th instant Our files by her are in
complete, as the greater part of the mail was put
on board the Water Witch, which sailed the same

Cruz dated the llh instant represent that he must
soon leave Jaapa; 1t was uncertain whether for the
capital or for Vera Cruz--the better opinion at
Vera Cruz was that he would repair to the capital,
or, in other words, that he would be received by
the present government. On this subject, La Hes
pera Of the eth says, that in consequence of
addressed by MIR. Slidell from Jalapa, government
council had been called to deliberate whether or not
he should be received; that opinions differed as to
the result but that it well understood that Mr..
s. had named eight days the latest term to which
he would wait for reply. ..
verbal report brought by the 0ceana is to the
effect that Mr.. Slidel was expected in Vera Cruz on
the 18th instant, the day the brig sailed
The United States bris-oEwar Somers arrived at
Vera Cruz on the 9th instant. There were lying at
SACRIFICES one frgate and three sloops-ofwar-al
belonging to the Gulf squadron. One British soop-
of-war was also lying there.
Our latest papers from the city of Mexico are to
the It'll instant only. At that time rumors had
reached the capital of the advance of army upon
the Rio Grande II was even said that the advanced
troops had seized the pilots of Matamoras to force
them in the service Of the vessels of-war collecting
about the BRACES, Santiago, and the Boca Chica.
From every quarter-the Pacific, the Gulf, and by
the Rio Grande--the prospect from Mexico to the
United States, according to the papers, was deemed
most hostile. Ofcourse great deal of this hue and
cry was all stuff, the different editors entertaining
the most exaggerated notions as regards the naval
and land forces the United States In the neighbour
hood of the Gulf. ~, ssL ri .9 CO.,, -ra .. =. l.E.
Gen. Mexa had pushed forward 400 infantry to
protect the Point Sta. lsabel, and Gen. Parodi

our accommodating parties, which having made their

The Memorial Historico (the old Siglo XIX has
been transformed into FL Republican,, to show its
anpathy, we infer, to the doctrines of Ell Tempo,

fierce, but we see no mention made in the papers
before ms OF the suppression of FL TEMPO; on the
contrary, that paper would appear to maintain its
ground with signal zeal and ability; but the OPPOSE
ton to the course of the paper has forced denial
that its course is approved by the administration.
A private letter, dated on the 7th instant informs
us that some twenty United States soldiers, who had
deserted from Corpus Christi, had arrived at the
city of Mexico and been set at liberty by the gov
ernment They are represented by our correspon-
dent as in most wretched condition, many of them
going about begging, and despised by both Mexi-

themselves back in Gen. Taylor's camp again,

The Spanish minister has involved himself in o
quarrel with the press by protesting against an ar
ticle by Sr. Carlos Maria Bustamente, which was
thought to reflect on the designs Of Spain. He ex-
treated himself from the affair adroity enough, but
il is not worth while to go into details. j r.

We have thus hurriedly glanced at the little news
which reached US last night. We can only infer
from il that the Mexican spirit is thoroughly
reused to resist any monarchical designs; as to tho
reception Of Mr.. Slide and the prospect Of host
ties, we must wait patient for later arrivals.
