INTERESTING FROM MEXICO

INTERESTING FROM MEXICO.
BY an arrival at New York, from Havana. on
the 9Th instant we have dates two DAYS later than
previous advices. The steamship CLYDE arrived
at Havana on the 9TH instant She brouph, ad
vices to the 23d ult., inclusive, with the following
important items. An American brig had been re-
ported as blockading the port of Alvaradn. Her
boats had, in pursuing loaded vessel into the
port, come in encounter with some armed boats of
the Mexicans, and according to the Mexican &C.
counts. had been driven off, hut it seems that
they were recalled by signals from the brig. The
latter sailed the next day. The inhabitants of
Alvarado had turned out en- ntasse, and subscrip-
tons to the amount of $4,000 had been made for
The erection of Qualifications.
One brigade of the army of reserve had march
ed to the aid of the army of the North showing
that the outbreaks in Jasco would be suppressed
previous to any movement against the army of
General Taylor The remaining body of reserve
would remain in the capital till the arrival of Gen
Bravo. so that the forces previously announced as
having collected at Monterey have been very much
ovrrrated.
From the Castle of Perote a large number of
mounted guns and ammunition had been sent to
the defence of the city of Mexico.
The steamship Clyde, sailing from Tampico
subsequent To the bombaIdment. announced an ac-
tive commanding going on between the Mexican
gun boats Queretana and Poblana, and the Ameri-
can brig ST.. Mary's
The English steam frgate Vesuvius had sailed
from Tampico for Vera Cruz, in consequence of
the refusal of the captain of the ST. Marys To per-
NIT bullion to be taken on board the Clyde
Much trouble was expected to accrue from this
refusal
The following statement was received by ex-
press at Vera Cruz on the 30lh ult: "The Cali
fornias have separated from Mexico. Gen. Tay-
lor has occupied the country at the right of the
Rio Bravo, and had advanced towards Saltillo-

In relation to the expected visit of Santa Anna
to Vera Csnz, the Picayune says:
1t was the general belief in Havana that upon
the arrival of the English steamer of the 9th inst
for Vera Cruz, Gen. Santa Anna would leave at
once, with his friends Almonte and Rejon, for
Mexico. This determination the part of the
ex-Presdent has been formed upon his receiving
assurances tina the Castle Of San Juan de Uloa
would upon his arrival, declare in his favor
General Santa Anna expressed himself freely in
regard to the war with United States, and avow-
ed his resolution of doing all in his power to pros
ohly course which he can pursue under the cir
cumstances in which Mexico is placed. for so in
famed is the animosity of the Mexcans at present
against the United States, that it would be fatal
for public man directly to attempt to stem the
current. From all that we can learn of the tone
OF feeling in Mexico, the two great Departments
of Vera Cruz and Tamaulipas have for some time
been ripe for throwing off the yoke Of Paredes and
placing Santa Anna again in power. Intelligent

from the Departments the Pacific, and the

Formal declarations OF Independence have been
received in Mexico from both the CaliCoroias

A division Of the forces was ordered there by Pa

Monterey. The Usurper desires to suppress all
domestic instructions before he attacks General
Taylor
