LATER FROM MEXICO.

We have received Ivy The schooner Mi,is
papers from Vera Cruz 10 theS inst,
being eight days later than our advices by
way of Havana. Their Intelligence is
interesting and not Without importance.
We miss the papers Of The 1st iusl.,
which contained Santa Annals address
from. San Luis, in which -he.endeavors to
heal ti,e,dissentions .of parties in the cap
iyal. and renounces forever for himself
political Office. Judins from ihe tone of
thc,papers, this will not do. Parties are
SO embittered against each other'thai he
only can stay their excuses aud unite The
country. All appeal to him, especially
the extreme federalis's. 10 assume power.
In the enL lie will be constrained to do so,
or civil war ensue. The nne of the
Mexican papers is as embiitered against
US as ever Nothing is talked Of in the
Provinces bur the war; and in the capital,
but war ami the political divisions.
Bul let US first bring up The news as to The
expedition of Tahasco.
When Com. Perry left the anchorage
near Vera Crrz fol Tabasco, The MeSicans
supposed that Aivarado was again TO be
attacked. 1t was only some days after
that they learned his real destination.
Their first accounts of the result we're
published Oh the 81 inst. They treat it as
a wanron, predaluryexpei prompted
only by the defpnceless state of TabasLo,
and they raunl US with our TWO repuises
from Alvarado, aud defy US TO renew The
attempt.
The Indicator Of the Cd inst. says that
the evening previous they were iusulted
by an American merchant vessel, which
passed the city for Socrificos so close in
iha, she might readily have been seized
ny boats and launches from The port, the
blockadng ship being al quite distance
al the time. The blame is thrown upon
the government for mol providing n oney
and other resources 10 improve such op-
portunities.
The same paper Of the 4lh says that
there was then ashore Oh the reef near
Anton Lizardo North American mer-
chant brig, which had arrived there with
provisions and stores for the squadron.
The steamers and launches Of the squadron
were husily engaged taking out her cargo.
in hopes 10 save it bylhis means; but the
editor says that those who are acquainted
with the coast say her loss is inevitable.
Her name is mol given.
The same day:the look Out on the Cas-
tie .ignalized "A vessel ashore towards the
South. We find no further mention Of
her.
The Indicator says that The Captain
General al Vera Cruz received dispatches
on the 5h instant. covering another from
The Secretary of Stale of The United States
to the Mexican Secretary of Foreign AT
fairs. The purport was unknown 10 the
editor, but he presumes it 10 he another
proposal on our part for peace-Mr. Polk
presuming that The fall of Monterey will
dispose the Mexicans TO submission.
Government received dispatches on the
4st lust. from Santa Anna with stale
ment of what measures for defence he had
taken. and expressing hope that he
should be able to repair the honor Of the
nation. Sanla Anna also wrote that Gen
Taylor had received from Washington
million Of dollars, and reinforcements
which carried the number Of his troops to
"a, 1000.
The Monitor says lha, Gen. Taylor had
contracted for $4,000 sacks of corn al s5
sack. A Mexican 10 whom the contract
was rendered, bad refused TO execute it.
So says the Monitor. -, .'
