Arrival OF the Steamship AIabama.

debted for the prompt transmission oil our pack
ages OF letters and papers,
Among the passengers by the Alabama we
notice the names of Mai. Gen. Quitman, Brig.
Gen. Shields; Maj. Borland and Capt. Cassius
Nj. Clay, of the Encarnacion prisoners; and
George Wilkins Kendall of the Picayune.
The news is not important. Our letters
from our correspondent ''Mustang," at the cap
ital; are to the Sth inst. Congress was still in
session at Queretaro at the latest dates. A ru
NOR was prevalent that the members were
about to quit Queretaro and assemble in the
city of Morelia. Speaking on this subject, the
ArcO iris of the 18th inst. saws:
The members of the Mexican Congress have
determined to assemble in the city Of Morelia,
1.-THE ancient Valladolid,) now capital of the
State of Michoacan. 1t appears that at Quer-
etaro they were always threatened by new
revolution, and, therefore, they wanted safe
place to deliberate with all the independence
and freedom that they require.
I Santa Anna had at the last accounts arrived
at 0rizaba with a force of about 1900 ragged
soldiers. In alluding to the orJler of Pena y
Pena, in depriving Santa Anna of his COM
mand, the Arco Iris says:-If the President,
Pena Pena, meant by the order that he sent
him to Huamantla, that this chief should be
deprived of all command in the army, he must
Santa Anna has yet brigade under his orders
From the same paper of the 18th, we hastily
CLEAN the following items:
The road to Mexico, according to the per-
sons who came down with the last train, pre-
sents everywhere the most complete scene Of
waste and desOlation. At the approach of the
Americans, the Inhabitants of the villages alb
andon their houses, and rur away TO conceal
themselves in the woods. The churches have
been converted into hospitals or stables by the
troops of both armies, and the whole way is
strewn with the skeletons of horses, shreds of
uniforms, broken wogoIls, &c.
1t is rumored that the Mexicans are gather
ing all their forces to attack the train on its re-
turn TO the capital; but if Santa Anna puts a
finger in the pie, it will turn out all talk and
no cider. 4
The same night in which the American train
, halted at Tejuapalto, Gen. Rea was encamped
at OiO de Agrta. place on the road, which is
about twenty miles from Perote, but Rea did
not dare to attack the Americans, although he
had been reinforced with all the cavalry of
General Alvarez.
OF the social intercourse between the Mexi-
cans and the Americans at the capital the
American Star of the 81 inst. says:
We have taken repeated occasions to express
our qualification at the evidences, which every
learning TO entertain a more just appreciation
of the American character They evince ads
position TO do justice to those who have been
illuminated, and to extend 10 them the cour-
tesles OF life. We are speaking rather of the
intelligent and cultivated portion of the citi-
Gems, than OF those who give no tone to socie-
ty, and exert no influence upon il. Inter
course between the former and educated Am
orleans Is fast increasing Whether at the
theatre, or in the streets, ii is getting TO be no
uncommon thing TO see an American gentle
man by the side of Mexican or Spanish lady,
showing her that attention and courtesy which
are the characteristics Of the intercourse be-
tween ladies' and gentlemen in every part of
the United States We say, I'VE rejoice at.
those evidences of kindly and friendly feelings
on the part of the intelligent people Of the city.
From the American Star of Nov 81
FROM Observation-Disclosures from the seat of
Government state that seventy-seven members
appearing in their seats, Congress- commenced
its session on Tuesday last. The candidates
! of the Moderatcs were Godoy and Hernandez:
of the Puros, Vepna and Gen. Morales.-
\ The latter seem 10 have abandoned Almonte
altogether-his unpopularity with allparlies
rendering his defeat almost certain. Those
who pref nd to be in the secrets. however, say
that it is the partisansol Santa Anna who have
destroyed the hopes of the mdefdtigabe candi-
date, Almonte. The latt, does not disguise
his hatred of the late President, and il is be-
lleyed that were he in power, he would do all
IN his power TO crush the hero of so many de-
feats. 1t was understood that the partisans of
Santa Anna would vote for Cumplido. The
Moderates had settled upon Pena v Pena,
though he is stated not to be enough of a war
J man TO suit the views Of his party.
I The Governors of the States Of Vera Cruz and
Ga JAG recognize the authority of Pena Pena
as constitutional. and pledge their efforts to
sustain it. The Bishop of Guadalajara, also
recognizes the new Government, and avows
his determination to cooperate with it in saw
ing the country.
! EXCHANGE OF VIsTTs.-Day before yesterday,
Gen. Scott and suite, in full dress visited the
Archbishop, and yesterday that dgnitary re-
turned the compliment, and remained in the
Generals quarters for sometime.
PAREDEs.-The movement of this individu-
al appears to be watched with great deal of
interest by a large portion of the Mexicams.-
His SUDDEN passage from Cuba to Vera Cruz,
was somewhat inexplicable, and his escape
from the latter city, still more so. The next
we hear of him is, that he is in the vicinity of
this city, and said TO be seriously indisposed.
This again is contradicted, and now we find
him addressing his countrymen in regard to the
present state of affairs. and the future pros
pect of the Republic. His known monarch.
cal principles, make him an object of much
suspicion among all friends of the Republic,
and we are not surprised 10 find the leading
