war; one English sloop-of:war.
Mr.. Slidell was still at Jalapa, but
hourly expected at Vera Cruz.
There was much talk at Vera Cruz
about the possibility of war, when the
Oceana sailed.
The Espectador publishes a letter
from Tepsic, dated Feb. "a, from which
we translate the following extract
Very stormy indeed is the political
horizon in this part Of the Republic.
According to the news received by the
two extraordinary couriers which arri-
we'd at this city on the 10th, and which
LETT Mazatlan on the 18th, we learn that
a new revolution is on the point of brea-
king out, whose object seems to be the
separation Of the States of Sonora, Chi
huahua, Durango from the rest of the
Republic. 1t is said that Gen. Urea,
who had arrived from his retirement,
would be invited to put himself at the
head of this revolution. To the fear,
which the reports Of this revolt created
in the minds of the peaceful inhabitants,
were added the sinister rumors spread
by the American Naval forces there,
who are always announcing lombard
ment as soon as they shall hear Of a
war-declaration by Mexico, which is
soon expected"

PENSACOLA, March Is.
Gentlemen You have already been
advised of the arrival of the United
States Frigate Raritan, Captain Grego-
ry commanding, from the Brazils.
Lieut.. Porter arrived here on Sunday
last, two days in advance of the mail,
from Washington, with important de-
spatches for our Minister in Mexico.
Mr.. slidell. The steam friga,e Missis-
sippi got under way yesterday and left
Vera Cruz with these dispatches and
Lieut.. Porter remains here to take back
to Washington such intelligence as our
next arrival may bring The despatch
es here alluded to may truly be said to
be of an important nature, and warrants
the belief that their receipt in Mexico
will determine our anxious affairs with
that country, either pacific or otherwise.
The unexampled forbearance hereto
fore observed on the part of this govern
ment towards Mexico can no longer be
looked TO or relied upon with any "rea-
sonable expectation" of affecting an ad-
justfhent of differences, and we must
therefore resort to such means as will at
once awaken their "deep sensibilities''
to just and proper appreciation Of the
good motives which have dictated this
long forbearance.
Alter all our ships destined for the
Gulf of Mexico shall have arrived at We
ra Cruz they will number over three
hundred guns-a number adequate to
accomplish any object our commanding
officer may desire to effect.
The Raritan is beautiful ship and
sails fast. She will leave in a few days
for Vera Cruz, and should we have a
brush with Mexico I think the Raritan
may be put down for two chances, for it
is we'll known that Capt Gregory, to
use chronological term, has the bump
OF tightlveness strongly developed, as
could be testified to by the surviving
Englishmen who participated in our last
war with him. Yours, &c.
