Accounts from Mexico.

Accouats from Mexico.
We lay before our readers every particle OF The news
from Mexico which was received by the " Baltimore
Sun" of this morning We have also had the pleasure
of an interview with Lieut.. Shuileworth. Whatever
doubts hung over the correctness OF the extra from the
Y" Mobile Tribune" and which Lieutenant s. could not
but entertain, account of the time when the Oceoa
is reported have arrived Pensacolashe reaching
there on the 2lst, and he leaving Pensacola the
ing of the 23d, not having heard of her arrival the
stirring which she broughtyet the letters and the
papers which this evenings southern mail brings to
Washington dssipate all doubt
The reader will recollect that the accounts which
reached this morning in the Baltimore Sum-" all
from Mexican sources and therefore liable thousand
suspicious.
The propositions said to be made by Mr. Trist must be
grossly misrepesented He could never have stopped to
ask for the privilege Establishing two factories in Upper
California for eight years. He could never have as
sumed the responsibility of stripping of his official
powers, and departing from his direct instructions He
could scarcely have asked As days for any purpose
much less to consider ofaproposon to limit our boundary
to the Nueces. No agent of the government would
have dared to entertain such proposition for mo-
ment and should hope that American would listen
to such demand. He might well have listened to
proposition to cede portion of the old thirteen United
Staes or of any other sovereign State of confedera
cy to the Mexican government All this, OF course, is
out of the question They are all idle specuatons and
bungling blunders. We may add, however, that if Mex
leo still has the folly TO claim to the Nueces, should
hope there is American who will no. now, and for
all time, repel it with indignation.

We must cause it to be felt by Mexico, levy equ

In word we must go on, and the energies OF the coun-
