IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
PHILADELPHlA, June 90. Ie47.


We have an arrival from Tampico giving Us
occasion 10 apprehend a state Of things in the
neighborhood Of that city not unlike the disaster
which attended Col. Mclntosh in the neighbor.
hood Of Vera Cruz.
Near Tampico was Pauline, n noted man, q.
mong the lancer5, skilled for daring deeds and
great celerily and movement lie had been en-.
gagged with u body of men under his command
both in deeds Of plumber and Of murder.
The Americans at Tampico numbered only
three hundred and .fftg men.
There were many sick among our troops, and
the Louisiana Volunteers, who were in garrison,
were dying rapidly from diseases incident to the
fatal climate.
By the same arrival, VIC have rumors that Gen.
Cadwaadcr had been attacked. If true, there
can be but little apprehension as TO the result as
he left Vera Cruz with Artillery and Dragons,
in addition to the choice body Of troops under
the command of Col. Mcintosh.
The beIielis that the National Bridge can ca.
silly be forced by fifteen hundred men against all
the troops that may be brought by the enemy.
An increased force is necessary at Vera Cruz
at once TO take the place of the troops drawn of
by Gen. Cadwaadcr.
The brig Mobile chartered by Government 10
carry troops TO Mexico from New York, had
reached the Florida coast where she was wreck.
ed. All on board saved.
The New Orleans papers inform US that Gen.
Urea was near Victoria (the point designed by
Gen. Taylor for San Luis Potosi,) with a large
body Of troops. There is no apprehension that
he will venture an attack on old Rough and
Ready.
The sickness in Mexico is mainly on the sea
board, whore it is very bad, and we fear that
some Of the previous accounts have not been ex.
aggeratod. The Mexican troops, in many pIa.
ces. suffer in common with the Americans.
The deaths at Vera Cruz averaged about %
day, and they were chiefly American.
The garrison was weak, but no fears were en-
tertained Of an attack, as the Mexcans from the
country have greater dread of the vomito, than
the Americans.
Colonel Mcintosh was attacked within six
miles or,he National bridge. There were $780,.
600 in the train, and in the second attack made
upon it, the Mexcans carried off $50 900 worth
of properly. On the 9th and 10Th of June, the
garrison at Mexico was in Il great state of alarm.
