LATER FROM MEXICO.

Overthrow of ParadeS-Repoh of Menico and
PueJla-ArriUal of Santa Anna at Vera
Cruz-HiS triumphant reception--Ihe capture
of Monterey, California.
The British sloop Of war Daring, Captain
Malson, arrived off the Baze Sunday evening
from Vera Cruz, and Capt. Matson and Lieut..
Herbert came up to town yesterday morning with
dispatches from Mexico and a mail from Vera
Cruz-all which were forwarded by the mail OF
yesterday. The Daring sailed from Vera Cruz
on the 18th instant, and brings very important
intelligence.
The government OF Parades has been entirely
overhrown and he himself made prisoner. The
cities of Mexico and Puebla have both declared
for Federation and Santa Anna.
In regard to the latter we learn that the En-.
glish merchant steamer Arab arrived off Vera
Cruz the morning Of the 10Th inst, having on
board General Santa Anna and his family, Gen.
Almonte the ex.ministers Jon and Haro Tam
oriz, Sr. d. Crescensio Boves, ex Deputy from
Yucatan to the Mexican Congress, and several
other individuals. Upon the appearance OF the
Arab off Vera Crus, Com. Conner repaired on
board the steamer Princeton, and an attempt was
made TO intercept the Arab; but the morning was
calm and she slipped into port without hindrance
with her valuable freight. Opinions differ as to
the intentions Of the Commodore towards Santa
Anna, some believing that he had no desire TO
intercept him.
On this subject we learn by letters received by
the U. S. brig Perry, at Pensacola from Havana,
that before Santa Anna left Havana, our Consul
Col. Campbell, had a conversation with him to
the following effect. Col. C. enquired If the
General was in favor OF the war with the United
States. To which the General replied, "You
know how it is; if the people Of my country are
for war, then | am with them; but would prefe r
peace" Before leaving Havana, he requested
and received from Col. Campbell a letter Of
Introduction 10 Commodore Conner. He also
took with him valuable box Of cigars, intended
as present for the Commodore. Upon arriving
off Vera Cruz, he took good care 10 waste no
time in the presentation Of his letter or cigars.
But 10 recur 10 the revolution in Mexico. Our
advices are somewhat meagre, but they are Of the
most authentic character so far as they co. We
have seen letter received by an eminent com.
mercial house intimately connected with affairs
in Mexico, from their correspondent in that city,
From this letter it appears that Gen. SALAs and
portion Of the garrison of Mexico pronounced
on the 4th inst. in favor Of the Government of
SANTA ANNA. Although Gen. Bravo, the Vice
President, made some resistance, he was COMPEL.
ed 10 yield early on the morning OF the 7th inst
Gen. Salas was invested with the command until
the arrival of Santa Anna, supported by Senior
Gomez Faras as counsellor. The latter used
his influence with the Ministers of Parades to
induce them to continue in the discharge OF their
functions.
The letter announcing the above intelligence
urges asa scandalous shame, that while the revo
luton is going on in Vera Cruz and Mexico,
General Taylor is advancing with his forces into
the interior, opposed by no force of any
consideration. This is denounced as the more
disgracelul, inasmuch as by the consummation OF
the revolution, 5000 troops from Guadalaiara and
1000 from the city Of Mexico are now at liberty
10 move at once to the frontier, and these united
10 the army OF the North would be able 10 make
head against the invaders.
The same letter announces that some advenur.
ers from the United States, supported by the crew
oil sloop of war, had taken possession of the
port OF Monterey, in California and the writer
adds: Good knows what will be the result of this
movement, as well as the invasion made by the
way OF New Mexico" In conversing with Capt.
Matson we learn that the intelligence Of The
success oil our arms upon the Pacific was by no
means new at Vera Cruz, it having been received
many days before the Daring sailed for this port.
