LATER FROM MExrco.-Tbe u. S. steamship Mis-
sissipp Captain Fitzhight, arrived at Pensacola
the 4ih inst, having sailed from Vera Cruz on the
31st ut. She brought passengers, ]. Parrot, Esq.,
Esq, late Consul at the city of Mexico and ID. Wood
of the the u S. Navy bearer of important dispatches
to our Government, from Com. Sloat, commanding
the Pacific squadron.
The only political news of Importance is that MAJ
allan and Tampec had declared for Santa Anna and il
generally thought there that he would be recalled
The of the revolutionary movement was under
stood not to he connected with the Texas question,
as was the case in former revolutions.
The news of the battles of the Sih and 9th was
received at Mexico on the 18th ult On the 18th the
papers announced that a battie lad been fought, in
which the Mexicans had actedeike F" lions" This
announcement did prove sufficiently explicit for
the populace, who after waiting some days for the
publication of the official account, made such demon
STATIONS against the Government leave no room
for doubt that revolution" was meditated-to
prevent which the 25th Paroles the despatch
of Arista to the Government organ for publication.
Great excitement prevailed-drums were Immediately
beat throughout the city for volunteers and maledc-
tons against the Americans were uttered throughout
the city.
All the Americans, except those employed in the
factories, either had left the country or were prepar-
ing to do so Immediately
Captain Gregory, now commander of the blockad-
ing force had restored the two Mexican vessels which
had been captured off Vera Cruz by the squadron.
He addressed a letter to General Bravo, of Vera
Cruz saying that he had released the vessels in con-
sideraion OF the fact that the Mexican authorities
had permitted two American vessels depart unmo-
Tested subsequent TO the notice of the blockade.
The American ships of war at Vera Cruz are
Raritan, Falmouth, and by this ime,, doubt, the
Princeton has also arrived. The St. Mary's is block
| aiding Tampico.
The Somers has sent to Campeachy to ascertain
whether the people of Yucatan are favorable to oul
cause
The American bark Eugenia, Captain Brscoe
from New York, belonging to P. A. Hargouts g. Co.
evaded the blockade although pursued by the boats
our men of war and got into Vera Cruz-(this same
American vessels had left the .aoft of Vera Cruz
Mr.. Parrot met the news of %a ssGaptair
Thornton and the COMMENCEMENT rwlties, a
Gaudeaxara. Upon inquiring at the post office h,
learned that the government had not expressed tn,
news. Mr.. P. Immediately employed a trusty person
to carry dispatches containing all the particular
possible TO be obtained, to Commodore Sloat, lying a
Mazatan with his squadron. This express will reacl
Com. S. five days in advance of all other commu
nications, and there can be no doubt that ere thi
our flag is waving over the walls of Mazatlan as wei
as Mo0tery in California.
Our readers may recolect that some time since i
was announced that Capt. Fremont had been ordere,
out of California, by the Mexican authorities. WheI
this news reached Com. Sloat, he Immediately des
patched the sloop of Portsmouth to St Francisc
Bay to act as circumstances might require.
The American squadron at Mazathn on the 1st O
May consisted of the frigate Savanah Com. Sloat 5,
guns; sloop Levant, Page, "a guns; sloop Warren
Hull, "a guns; sloop Cyane, Marvin, "a guns stor
ship Erie, and hourly expected, frgate Congress an
sloop Portsmouth.
The British force at the same date consisted of th
Colingwood, so guns; Talbot, %; Juno. &C. bri
Spy, tender, B; AMI the brig Frolic at Guayamas
taking in treasure for England.
1t reported that other British ships Of war wer
to rendezvous at Mazatlan but other had arrived
But little doubt exists at Mazailan and among III
officers of the squadron that the British admiral ha
instructions not to allow the American squadron
take possession of any Mexican ports on the Pacific
If this supposition should prove correct, the ne1
news from the Pacific will be of the most hghl
exciting character-as there cannot exist doubt tht
CON- Sioat will take possession at all hazards Ii
supposed that for some time past Com. S. has ha
instructions to seize all Mexican ports on that coas
whenever he should receive reliable news of the con
mencement Of hostilities between the two countrie
