Instructions and troubles in Mexico and
Santa Annals army:
A Mexican came in to day, (Jan. I5.)
who stated that he was very recently from
San Luis Potosi, and represented TO Gen.
Taylor that the Mexican army at that
place was in most deplorable condition
--short of provisions, without clothing,
and the army chest entirely destitute of
money--and that unless something was
done TO relieve them in a short time, the
men would revolt. Santa Anna, he said,
had left for the Capital, believing The
maintenance Of his power demanded his
immediate presence there. lie further
stated, that news had reached San Luis
previous to his departure, that the Mexi-
can Congress had taken a vote on The
peace propositions of Mr.. Buchanan, and
had rejected Them by a respectable major.

voted for their acceptance had left or

around again.

rejecting the proposition alluded to may

OF The late news from tbs army may
be summed up as follows;
Gent Worth arrived at Matamoras on
the Gath, with his division, supposed to
be en- route for Tampico. where great
force is gathering, supposed to be far de-
monstration against Vera Cruz. Gen. w.
was in very bad health.
Gems. Butler and Wool, with force Of
about 5000, were at Saltillo at last dates,
but it was said had been ordered to fall
back to Monterey, or to the neighborhood
of the Pass of Rinconada.
Gen. Scott was still at Brassos island,
doing little as far as we observe, except to
raise difficulties with the officers, and or
der court martials.
Gen. Taylor had counter-marched from
Victoria to Monterey, with small force,
including our lst Mississippi Regiment,
where one report is he is to be stationed in
command-another is that he has been or
dered home, aud is expected at New Or
leans by every arrival.
The vessels transporting the new regi-
ment of Louisiana Volunteers fouched at
the Brassos on the 22d, and proc eeded the
next day towards Tampico-at which place
are now Gents Paterson, Twiggs, Quit
nan, Shields, and Pillow, with upwards o.
5000 men. When the new volunteer re-
oiments arrive, there will be at that poin
near IS 900 men--a more formidable force
than has been assembled under the stars
and stripes for many long years. 1t is con.
iec,ured that this army will move up the
MEXICAN coast, and that Simultaneous as
saul. by sea aud land. will be made upon
Vera Cruz and its noted castle. Success
;s,,ot doubted, and from thence move
,aent may be made upon the capItai II cir
c,,,us.ances justify. In these mosenie n Il
w,,nay distinctly see the want OF an en-
.;ant leader, possessing and commanding
s.l,e confidence Of the government.

o. II is estimated that the advance in
the price of Cotton, Flour, Corn, and other
American products in Great Britain, for the
month ending January s, increased the
gross value of our exports forty millions of
dollars The enhanced value of Cotton
is about ten millions. 1t is calculated that
a crop, this year, of 2,7OO, 900 bales. will
find a market abroad at the rates which now
govern. The indications are unerring that
our favored country is at the commence
