LAVE FROM MEXICO.

| We find summary OF the intelligence from
Mexico, conveyed by the United States
Steamer Eudora.
Il was rumored at Camargo that Gener'
al Quilman's brigade consisting (as we have
before announced) of the lst Georgia, Isl
Mississippi, and LIST Tennessee Regiments,
and the Baltimore Battalion, had encounter
ed thirteen thousand Mexicans under the
command of Gen. Urea, near Victoria
and that a battle had been fought. But lit.
lie reliance is placed in the rumOr. It's
not supposed that Gen. Quitman would
have riskcd battle, when he had such
odds to contend against-neither is It rea-
sonablo that the commanding General
would have despatched so small force for
Victoria, knowing that such strong force
Of the enemy were in the neighborhOOd.
Gen. Wool was encamped Is miles from
SaltillO.
Gen. Scott had returned from Camargo
and intended proceeding in a few days to
Victoria with the intention Of comforting
with Gen. Taylor-having forwarded an
express to Gen. Taylor informing him of
his intention.
Gen. Patterson had reached San Fer
nando on his way TO Victoria.
A returned prisoner from San Luis re.
ports that the force Of Santa Anna, station
ed there, consist of $1,000 men.
Still Later News!
Since the above was in type we have
received the New Orleans Commercial
Times of the Goth, containing still later
news from Mexico. We are indebted TO
that journal for the following summary
which will be read with interest. The
Times has received letters and documents
from Mexico, which throw much light on
the real position now occupied BY that coun-
try towards the United States.
The Mexican Congress have acted def
niely on the offer Of our government to open
negotiations, and it has been rejected by a
large mqjority-only nineteen voting in IA
vor of acceptance. A short time before the
vote was token, majority Ofthe members
assembled in caucus-Gomez Farias the
recently elected Vice President presiding
and adopted resolution that all present
should take solemn oath to UOte against
any proposition for peace, which might be
made the United States, and reject any
Of foreign power SO long as
single soldier Of tho United States treads
he soil Of Mexico, or our vessels blockade
her ports.
The correspondent Of the Commercial
Times writes that although our squadron
has remained off Vera Cruz ever since the
Of the war, yet the port Of
Alvarado only forty miles further down the
coast, has been visited every week by some
ressel, which has gone in and discharged
her cargo.
The newly elected Vice President in his
address delivered on the Oath December in
allusion to the difficulty between MoxicO
and the United States, declares emphati-
;ally that the Mexican government will not
listen to any proposition for peace until the
United States troops evacuate her territory.
He says that the g war which the nation
,Mexican) is forced to sustain against the
Republic Of North America, shall be pros
ecuted with valor and conMancy, until the
Justice Of our cause be recognised, and Onr
erritOry be evacuated"
