and the fire was not returned.
On Friday the Anti. Mormons took up
position nearer the city, and opened fire from
all their cannon, which are well served. The
| firing was returned by the government forces
from an equal number Of pieces, and sharp
battle ragged for about an hour and haf,when
the Antics re,rea,ed to their camp. about two

was conspicuously mounted on white horse,

On Monday several skirnishes took place

LATE FROM MEXICO

The New Orleans papers furnish intelligence
from Vera Cruz to the 18th ulimo, and from the
city of Mexico TO the 10th. The following, from
the Times, appears to embrace the most impor-
tant items
1t appears that on the 4th March the Mexican
Minister, Senior CASTILLO LANzAs, received a
note from Mr. SLlDELL, now at Jalapa, in which
the latter requires peremptorily definitive an.
swer to his demand to be recognised as Minister
fienipoten'ary, not only to arrange the question
OF Texas, but to settle every other matter in dis
pute between the two countries, such as payment
of the instalments due on the debt, and salts.
factory remuneration for the losses sustained bv
our citizens by the delay in those PAYMENTS
| HE Supreme Government Immediately convoked
the Council, and submitted Mr., SLlpRII's mote
for their opinion. They advised the Government
not to receive Mr.. SLIDELL. except as Envoy FIX.
traordinary TO settle the difficulty about Texas.
leaving all other affairs unattended TO- until .bat
shall have been adjusted.
1t was not known whether the Government
will conform to the wishes of the Council, but il
is supposed it will, since the President and his
cabinet lind in It's favor not only the recorded
opinions of the preceding Administration and the
late Chambers, but the whole of the Mexican
press.
On the other side, it is asserted i'm the Mexican
prints that MIR. SLIDELL will not abate one lot of
his pretensions, and will quit the Republic i'm
mediately after the receipt of Senior LANzAs's re-.
ply, if it be not perfectly satisfactory. Mr.. Sill.
DELL requires an answer within eight DAYS from
the date Of his letter.
In La Hesperia of the 18th March it is stated
that party of the American army, consisting of
$50 men, had made their appearance near Mata.
moras, but retired after reconnotering the ground.
This sudden visit had produced great deal of
agitation amongst the Mexicans, in their canton.
ments. They were waiting for renforcements,
which had been dispatched from Monterey and
San Luis Potosi, to assume respectable attitude
on the banks Of the Rio Bravo.
The EsDeranza, Tampico paper, states that
Gen. MEJA had advanced with 400 infantry to
attack the advanced guard of the American army,
which mad taken post at Santa Isabel.
From diligent examination Of the papers
which have reached us, we cannot help observing
the remarkably civil and pacific tone of their pa,
Pers, which contrast so strongly with the bravo
do and invective which they exhibited some
months ago. '''
The discussions Of the press turn chiefly on the
Inonarcb'al projects recently sprung up, and
tnough majority seem adverse to assume for,
e,gn yoke, there are not wanting open advocates
OF the scheme, as last resort from the evils Of
m'sTule and anarchy. The question has evident.
~ become one Of serious debate, and some move
nent in behalf of the projec. is plainly indica-
ted and expected.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY.

THE OREGON QUESTION.

The painful uncertainty which hangs over our
present relations with Great Britain is PRODUCING
great mischief, and ought to be terminated, if nos.
sIble. No one in his sober senses believes tina,
there is any necessity for going to war about Ore
gon, yet the unreasonable course of our Govern.
ment in rejecting the proposal to arbitrate, gives
ground to fear that affairs may be so mismanaged
as to make such an issue unavoidable. In refer.
ence to this state of things the New ork cores.
pondent of the National Intelligencer thus writes
"Ihe commercial affairs of the country are be-
ginning to assume gloomy aspect. Our foreign
relations are well calculated to lessen confidence
and check enterprise. The money market is not
only becoming tight, but seriously so. This is
the season for activity, but there is dead weight
upon commercial operations, and many of those
who calculated upon large spring business are
becoming alarmed at the prospect before them 81
