BY LAST NIGHTS SOUTHERN MAIL
The New Orleans papers OF 10Th Of June
received last night, contain no intelligence from
our armies in Mexico.
We clip the following from the N. Orleans
Commercial Times:
Important Discoveries The Three Millions II
Operation.
There is strange letter in the last number
Of the Spanish paper, the Patria, published in
this city, from a correspondent in Havana
headed by the above striking words. The
writer, who dates the communication the 10th
July, states that, as he is assured, an individual
Of " responsibility" had just left Havana fol
| Vera Cruz, intending to proceed Immediately
to the city Of Mexico.
His mission is Of the utmost importance
and il he arrives in time, he will save the
Mexican nation. With this introduction, the
correspondent informs the editors that the
emissary 10 question is gone TO Mexico for the
purpose Of making Santa Anna acquainted
with an important discovery which had JUS
been made, and which was TO the following
| effect:
The Consul General of the United States
General Campbell, at Havana, had been in
/ CuuSldut communication Win tue SOVctHIutu
at Washington, and General Scott. The des-
patches received by him by the last English
steamer Orom Vera Cruz, we presume were
| Of great importance. Although authentic in
formation hereon is particularly confined tc
the Consul General and his clerks, il was ge,
morally credited in Havana, particularly in
commercial circles, that the dispatches in ques
lion treated of nothing more nor less than the
employment of the 100000 entrusted tc
Mr.. Polk, by the Congress Of the United States
aud which We're now TO be used for the pur-
pose of corrupting the most influential men 10
Mexico. The names of Arsta, Ampudia, AL
monte, Canalizo, and Rejon, were quoted, as
those who had been bought with American
money. Besadre, G. de la Corlina, and LON
bardini, are said TO be incorruptible.
The former win do all they can TO procure
peace, or, at least, as long as the war lasts, Ia
/ favor the Americans, SC. That such a person
as the emissary above described, has left Ha.
vana for Vera Cruz, is, says the Patria's cor
respondent, positive; and other circumstances
such as his taking papers from the Mexican
(. Consulate, &c., combine 10 invest the presen
account Of the object Of his journey with III
4 air Of authenticity and truth. Some at Havan'
believe that peace has been agreed on, an,
that the traitors. 10 pretended disgust, will qui
their country to 60 to Cuba, there to EMO
