81 FROM MEXICO. ae
Important Ne,Us-Ttoelre days Later.-The
barque Pario, Capt. Kinney arrived at this port
yesterday morning from Vera Cruz. She SAIL
ed thence on the 18th inst, bringing letters to I
her day Of sailing. By her We have received
our files from Vera Cruz to the 18th, and from
the City of Mexico TO the 9th. The news is
very important. .....-. |
The city was filled yesterday with contra.
dietory rumors in regard TO Mr.. Slidell.-l
The report at first credited was that he had been
ordered from the republic tina: he thereupon
demanded an escort from Jalapa to Vera Cruz.
which was refused to him that Commander
Gerry,* of the Somers, then lying at Vera
Cruz, upon this proceeded with detachment
of officers and marines to escort Mr.. Slidell
to the coast, a distance of some 20 or 80 miles.
We do not attach much credit to this rumor
it appears impossible. Again: a letter da-
ted the 9th, from Vera Cruz says, that up to
that date Mr.. Slidell had not demanded Of the
new government any recognition Of his oficial
capacity, but the popular belief was that such
recognition would be refused. Another let
ter dated the 18th says: MIR. Slidell has de
manded his passports, having failed in the OBJ
iect of his mission" This appears TO Us the
more probable version. TIE Mexican pa
pers before US say nothing on the subject.
! A number Of important dispatches We're re-
ceived by the Pario, which were yesterday
forwarded to Washington by mail. So far as
we can learn, no letters have been received in
town from Mr.. S.del of a late date. Our
own opinion is, that at the time the Pario sail
a., oh
| The U. S. brig Somers, Commander Ger
rvs arrived at Vera Cruz on the 9th inst,
and was lying at SACRIFICES on the l3,h.-
The British brig Persian, the French brig
Griffon and the Spanish brig Patricia were
likewise lying there. The Spanish brig ia
son was in port. These were all the foreign
vessels of war at Vera Cruz. The schr. Gre
ole and hermaphrodte brig Petersburg were
in port.
| The revolution in Mexico appears to be COM
plete. Before entering the city of Mexico, con-
ferences were held between Gen. Paredes and
Gen. Valencia, at Guadalupe, close by the
| Capital. Gen. Valencia represented the for
mer Government, and for a time, indeed, &C.
ted as President Of the Republic. In their
conferences, in which Gen. Tornel shared.
the submission Of the Capital was fully ar
ranged, Valencia aiming to spare any effusiou
of blood. The entrance was not made TILL the
I'd inst, when portion Of the garrison Of the
Capital marched out and joined the troops
under Paroles, and the whole thereupon es-
cor,ed him into the Capital in triumph, amidst
salvos of artillery. An address of the Cen
eral was Immediately issued. Its contents
are unimportant, save that he urges the troops
to be tolerent and peacrabIe.
Gen. Paroles had previously addressed a
letter to Gen. Herrera, announcing his mex
orable determination to carry through the rev.
olution. The latter appears to have yielded
his authority to Gen. Valencia without stng-
gle. The estate of SIEGE in which the Cap
ital had been placed by Herrera, was declared
at an end on the 3lst of December.
! There was meeting in Mexico on the I'd
!, of Jan. of General Officers and others called
by Gen. Paroles. After avowing the pro-
nunciamento at San Luis, he declared to the
, Junta his readiness to submit to their prudent
resolution, and the entire liberty which each
0 enjoyed to pronounce his opinions. There
r upon additions and explanations were made
to the solemn Act of San Luis Potosi, in sub
stance as follows: E.. ......
