FROM MEXICO DIRECT.

The schooner Sarah Lavna arrived at New York
on Sunday, from Vera Cruz. Accounts, however,
of later date, have been received via New Or
leans The following significant remarks are trans
lated from the Locomotor, a newspaper published
at Vera Cruz, of the date of the 25th ult: 30
"The opposition to the government becomes daily
stronger and stronger, and is daily to be fear
ed The partisans Of General Santa Ana have re-
conced themselves with the federalists and the
centralis,s, and with most of the political parties,
which combination has for its object the resistance
of the monarchical principle, which, it is under
stood, is the leading object and favorte measure Of
the present government. The government, however,
in order to prevent or neutraze the coalition, has
resolved upon public declaration in favor Of repub-
licanism. If the government were to act in this
sense, frankly and honestly, it might regain much
ground which it has lost, and which has been lost
by not adopting, with decision, either one or the
other party-viz: that Of republic or that Of a
monarchy government which has no known
decided political faith creed, throws the coun-
try into dscord or confusion"
"Accounts from Yucatan, received at Vera Cruz,
state that at the last dates the people were engaged
in the elections for an extraordinary assembly,
which was to meet on the 23d Of April, to
decide upon the political position Of that pen
insula. According to the prevailing opinion,
it is considered highly probable that the as
sembly will declare at once for the absolute
from Mexico. The hatred against the general gov
ernment of Mexico, has become intense in Yucatan,
and increases every day; it is the prevailing and
loudly expressed opinion of Yucatanese people in
general, 'that for many years past, every govern
ment which has had the ascendancy in Mexico, has
been a tyrant and oppressor of Yuoatan. The fall
Of the administration Of General Herrera, and OF the
constitutional Congress, heard Of with pleasure
in Yucatan, but without, however, any feeling OF
interest or affection for the government which sue
ceeded." This is strong language in a Mexican
journal The same proceeds, in long article, TO
describe the people Of Yucatan subjected to few
wealthy individuals, to whom, as pretends, they
are in complete subjection, and in condition OF
poverty ignorance and degradation very similar to
that Of the Indians, or even the rude savages on
the coast Of Africa
1t is announced in these papers that the expedi.
ton to California began its march TO the country OF
its destination on the 3d Of March. General Pare
des has avaled himself Of the pretenee OF putting an
end to propositions for a monarchy, TO putan end to
all discussions, of every kind, upon governmental
matters by the public journals This has excIfed
much discomfort and the principal journals have
yehementlv protested against this act.
These papers contain no news from the Rio Bra
yo and with the exception Of what we have above
given, nothing Of any interest or importance.

We have received letter by the Great West
ern, from our correspondent in Paris, of the 7th
inst We shall publish it to- o-morrow. He speaks
Of the political reforms which Prussia is about to
introduce by the constitution promised to her sub
jects, and Of the signs which seem to promise a
weakening Of the ties that have recently bound
France to Great Britain. "Thus it seems that we
are on the eve of very important changes, and that
Notwithstanding the threatening appearance Of the
heavens, the storm which menaced us will blow
over il ourselves are not deficient in fortitudc and
courage" He says, "the King Of the French con-
unues personally to take as much interest in Amer
ica and the Americans ever, though unfortunate
ly M. Guizot continues his reserve. NJ Theirs,
whose opinions will in the end be facts, because il
is impossible to prevent his ultimate succession to
the ministry, is firm in his views as regards the
United States and a large portion Of conservatives
share in that respect the opinion of the minister
Of March, ls40."

PAuPEa EMIGRANTs.-G. H. Goundie, United
States consul in Switzerland has addressed letter
from Basle to our city authorities, in which he states
that the evil Of sending paupers and criminals to
this country is on the increase. To counteract this
shameful practice, Mr.. Goundie translated, and
caused to be published extensively in Switzerland
and Germany, the act Of onr legislature which re-
qures that "owners, captains, and agents. give a
guarantee that such emigrants as they may land at
NeX York shall not fall a charge to the city or
State within two years after their arrival"
We quote from his letter, dated Basle, March 81,
lSi6.--.N Y. Jour. Of Com.
"Town authorities and cantonal governments have
been in the habit Of sending their paupers to the
United States, merely securing them passage to
New York, and not providing them with cent to
proceed inland after their arrival Since the pub-
cation Of this act, those that had been sent this
spring had money sent after them, and others that
are about being shipped are nov provided with
sufficient means TO carry them to the West They
do it, not for the good Of the individuals or for the
benefit of the country where they going, but be-
ing fearful that il not provided with means to carry
them into the interior after arriving at New York ,
they might be refused a passage and returned to
them by the French government. II is out Of the
question TO put stop to it entirely, yet think
have succeeded in relieving the city OF New York
from the offence Of maintaining Swiss and German
psupers in future, they will come prepared here
AFTER to pay their way to the Far West. Emigra-
tion this year VIII far exceed any previous years
and am convinced IL I had not taken this measure
dest tute paupers, who, when winter came, would
have to be provided for in your alms-houses and
hospitals.
"With high regard, your humble servant,

SUMMARY-As FAR As RECEIVED.
We can now scarcely entertain doubt that we
have carried both branches Of the legislature. In
the last session We had 10 majority in the Senate
and 20 in the House Of DeIegates-36 on joint vote
At the present election they had to elect the 4th
class Of the Senate consisting Of senator's. We
have already secured half senator's. The wings
have elected g. and one only in tho KAnawha district
to be heard FROM five were lose that district we
should still have majority of in the Senate.
In the House, we have lost and gained 5-net
loss 4; or 8 to be deducted from o. leaving IS to
go upon. Allowing the delegates in Accomac lost,
We should still have Ia majority. We deem il al
most impossible for the wings to overcome that ma
jority.

we preferred the original House resolutions, we new
ertheless hope that both bodies will speedily unite
upon some form, and that on this great national
question we shall present undivided front to the
British government We have the fullest confidence
in the President. Whatever the form Of the " no
tice" may be, he will not shrink from his duty n
Congress should say, "give the notice al your dis
creiion" or we authorize and request you to give
the notice" we believe his action would be the
same; for in either case it is left to him to say ioh
the notice shall be served; and unless he were ex-
pressy limited as to time, he would, in our opinion,
give it forthwith. Never let 1t be said, hi, great
question LOST because msub,rs disagreed as 10 The

To the Editor Of he Unio1:
fear the chairman of finance, in the Senate
proposes to give too long postponement to the ap-
plication Of the specie clause in the sub-treasury bill
Already begin to see the untoward effects of his
remarks in the general advance Of fancy money
stocks and in the advance Of foreign exchanges to a
point where the expectation of specie commences.
Prices Of produce and manufactured goods were
becoming approximaied to the limits Of exporters;
and the proceeds of shipments would have been ap.
Piled in lieu Of specie, to the discharge Of for
eign liabilities; no'o, il an advance IN prices take
place, they will remain unpurchased, our shrs lay
up unemployed, and specie find It's way abroad IN
lieu of the merchandise After the loss ofthe specie
the backs will be less able TO answer call from tho
Secretary Of the Treasury than before.
The counrry better meet contraction of
currency before the merchants OF the interior have
made their autumn engagements in the cities OF the
seaboard, than after; and the political effect will he
Ear less now than IN winter when every thing is
comparatively stagnant, and when masler-manufac-
turers and other employers Of labor may attempt 10
control the surages Of their work-peoye by threats
Of discharging hands, or reducing labor. ~.
Il is to be hoped that the frat day of October,
two months prior to the action OF the proposed tariff
will be deemed by Congress- the most favorable time
for the enforcement Of the specie clause; then the
fall imports will be nearly over, and the amount of
duties accruing next to nothing. Deposi,es due
from banks may be received in the scrip Of the
nation or specie whichever the banks may elect to
do. Yours
