LATE AND INTERESTING FROM MExICo.-
Mr.. StideH not yet received. The New Or
leans papers contain advices from the city of
Mexico to the sth, and from Vera Cruz to the
l4th ult. We copy the following from the
BuIlatin:
The discussion of the press throughout the
country turns chiefly on the monarchial pro.
iects, recently sprung up, and though major
itv seem adverse to assume a foreign yoke,
there are not wanting open advocates of the
scheme, as a last resort from the evils of mis-
rule and anarchy. The question has evident
ly become one of serious debate, and some
movement in behalf of the project is plainly
indicated and expected. The Spanish Minis
ter, we infer from a paragraph in the Indicator
of Vera Cruz, has already appeared in the pub
lie press III favor of the project, in reply to
Bustamente.
The concentration of American naval for
ccs, simultaneously, as it were, on the Gulf
and on the western coast OF Mexico, and the
advance of the army to post commanding
Matamoras, mad elected strong feeling of
apprehension, as it was conceived at once that
the United States were bent on war.
MIR. SLIDELL, it would seem, had received
Government, to be accepted or rejected in
eight days. The nature of the utimatum had
not transpred in any of the papers we have
seen, nor had the decision of the Government
in regard to it. The communication of Mr..
SLIDELL, it appears, was submitted at once to
the extraordinary Congress then in session
The newspapers express the opinion that the
ultmatum would not be accepted.

movements contingent, we imagine, on the re-
ply of the Mexscan Government to his last
communication.
! The following vessels of war were at anchor
in the bay of Sacri6cios French ship La pc.
rouse, British corvette Rose, American ships
Falmouth, John adams, 81. M airy and Cumber,
land, and the Spanish brig Habacero. The u.
S. brig Somers was also at anchor there; she
arrived on the 9th, in five days from Pensacola.
The New Orleans Bee says the communica-
ton of Mr.. Slidell demanded peremptory de-
: csion on the question of recognition as Minis
ter Plenipotentiary, TO settle not only the Tex
as question, but that of the indemnity. Ac-
cording to the same authority the Government
asked the opinion of the Council, which tho't
that Mr.. Slidell could only be received in the
capacity of an Envoy Extraordinary to open

alone-postponisg all other questions until that
is settled,
Il The Locomotor remarks that though the
views of the Government are not yet definitely
ascertained, there is every reason to believe,
, their decision will be that of the Council. On
the other hand Mr.. Slidell will abate no jot OF
his pretensons, and will certainly return home,
as soon as he receives reply to his note. In
, sucn an event the Locomotor fears that the
American Squadron in the Pacific will attack
the Mexican ports, and that Gen. Taylors ar
, my will advance upon the Rio Gfande.
The Mexican press-both opposition and
administraton-are clamorous for war with
: the United States; and the official journal says
the President is doing all in his power to be
able to commence hostilites.
1t is announced that President Paroles will
: take the field i'll person, if the war with the
a United States, is commenced by an attack or
the pant of our fleet lying at Vera Cruz.

force at 5000 men marching upon Matamora!
f while another column of 1000 is moving to {
higher point on the Rio Grande, and yet the
general commanding the vanguard ofthe Mex
