FERENCE, &C.
The United States steamship Mississippi,
Capt. Fitzhugh, arrived at Pensacola on the
4th inst, having sailed from Vera Cruz on the
Slst ut. The Mobile Herald and Tribune
(to which paper we are indebted for an extra
says:
She brought as passengers, J. Parrot, ESQ.,,
late American Consul at Mazatlan, F. NJ. Di-
mond, ESQ, late Consul at the city Of Mexico,
bearer of important dispatches to our Govern
ment from Com. Sloat, Commanding the Pa
cifc squadron. Seven other Americans from
Mexico also arrived in the Mississippi.
Mr., Parrot, Mr.. Dimond and Dr.. Wood ar
rived here on Sunday-the latter named gen.
tlemen fastened on to Washington with the
dispatches.
The only political news Of importance which
we gather from these gentlemen is that Mazat-
Ian and Tepec had declared for Santa Anna,
aid il was generally thought there that he
would be recalled. The cause Of the revolu-
tionary movement was understood not to be
connected with the Texas question, as was the
case in former revolutions.
The news of the battles of the Sth and 9th
were received at Mexico on the 18th u!t. On
the 9Th the papers announced that a battle
had been fought, i'll which the Mexicans had
acted like "lions." This announcement
did not prove sufficiently explicit for the popu-
lace, who after waiting some days for the pub
lication Of the official account, made such de-
monstrations against the Government as
to leave no room for doubt that revolution"
was meditated-to prevent which on the 25th,
Paroles sent the despatch Of Arsta to the Gov
eminent organ for publication. Great excite
ment prevailed drums were Immediately beat
throughout.the city for volunteers; and maledic-
tons against the Americans were uttered
throughout the city.
Mr.. Dimond insorms US that all the Amesi-
cans except those employed in the factories Ell
ther had left the country or were preparing to
do SO Immediately.
Capt Gregory, now commander of the block
aiding force, had restored the two Mexican YES
sells which had been captured off Vera Cruz, by
the squadron. He addressed letter to Gen.
Bravo, Of Vera Cruz, saying that he had releas-
ed the vessels in consideration of the fact that
the Mexican authorities had permitted two A.
meTican vessels to depart unmolested subse-
quent to the notice of the blockade.
The American ships Of war at Vera Cruz are
Falmouth, and by this time no doubt
the Princeton has arrived. The ST. Marys is
blockading Tampico.
The Sommers has Teen sent TO Campeachy |
to ascertain whether the people Of Yucatan are |
favorable to our cause.
The American bark Eugenia, Capt. Brisco,
from New York, belonging to p. A. Hargouts |
* Co., evaded the blockade, although pursued |
by the boats Of our men Of war and got into |
Vera Cruz-[this same Captain run the block.
ade Of the French) all the other American yes
sells had left the port of Vera Cruz.
From MIR. Parrot we learn that he had the |
news ofthe capture of Capt, Thornton and the
of hostilities at Gaudalaxara.
Upon enquiring at the Post Office, he learned
that the Government had not expressed the
news. Mr.. p Immediately employed a trusty
person to carry dispatches containing all the
particulars possible to be obtained, to Commo-
doEe Sloat, lying at Mazatlan with his squad
ron. The express would reach Com. S. FIVE
days in advance of all other communications,
and there can be no doubt that ere this our flag
is waving over the walls of Mazatlan and Mon
terey in California.
Our readers may reco!lect that sometime
since it was announced that Capt. Fremont had
been ordered ont Of California, by the Mexican
authorities. When this news reached Com.
Sloat, he Immediately dispatched the sloop-of-
war Portsmouth to St. Francisco Bay to act as
circumstances might require.
The American squadron at Mazatlan on the
LIST May, consisted of the frigate Savannah,
Com. Sloat, 50 guns; sloop Levant, Page, "a
guns; sloop Warren, Hull, "a guns; sloop Cy-
enc, Marvin, "a; store ship Erie, and hourly ex-
pected, frgate Congress and sloop Portsmouth,
The British force at the same date, consisted
of the Colhngwood, 50 guns; Talbot rs juno
26; brig Spy, tender S; and the brig Frolic at
Guayamas, taking in treasure for England
IL was reported that other British ships-of.
war were to rendezvous at Mazatlan, but none
others had arrived
But little doubt exists st Mazatlan and a.
mong the officers of the squadron, that the
British Admiral has instructions not to allow
the American squadron to take possession of
any Mexi can ports on the Pacific.
II this supposition should prove correct, the
next news from the Pacific will be Of the most
highly exciting Characters there cannot ex-
list doubt that Com. Sloat will take posses
sion at all hazards. 1t is supposed that for
sometime past Com. S. has had instruc tons to
seize all Mexican ports on that coast, whenever
he should receive reliable news of the COM
mencement Of hostilties between the two coun-
tries.
