From the New Orleans Pcayune,
Very late from Mexico
The royal West India mail-steamer Trent arrived at
Ship Island on Tuesday ming last from Vera Cruz
and Tampico. Her mails and passengers for this city
her passengers did not get up to town till last evening
The Trent, after performing her voyage to Very Cruz
and TamPico, upoureturning from the latter port, was
prevented by severe northe from entering Vera Cruz
for some days, whereby her passage delayed. She
got away from Vera Cruz the morning Of the Goth in
slant She had on board in specie 81 502 900, of which
Our papers by this arrival are to the 10th inst from
Vera Cruz and to the 10th from the city of Mexico As
represented to us by an intelligent gentleman who came
passenger on the Trent the condition of the country
comparatively tranquil upon the surface. There have
been no political pronuncamentos We are told how
ever, that the Sananstas and the Puros have united
their political fortunes, and will make effort TO over
throw the present government The return of Santa
Anna is openly talked of and expected Our informant
US that he shall be surprised the exPresident
be not again invested with supreme power within three
months The strength of the present administration con-
ssts in its command OF money 1t has moral politi
cal weight 1t is represented to have yet at its command
nearly million OF money, but this is not generally con-
coded So long as its means OF paying the army hold out
so long may be considered pretty secure and longer
Such the representations made TO this subject
The country is suffering extremely from the unsafe
OF the public roads They infested by robbers in every
direction Travellers make provision for being robbed
as thing OF course; they carry with them money
pressy to satisfy the rapacity OF the band of the high
way, content they escape all other indgnites 1t is
marvel how travellers in considerable bodies suffer them
selves to be Pundered and often more than once, by
much inferior bodies of men, Whenever spirited resist
made, it is efiectual The Aroo IRIS mentions the
of little party of Germans who were attacked on
their way TO Vera Cruz They resisted and wounded one
OF the robbers and his horse the rest scampered off The
wounded afterwards arrested and handed over
to the authorities Verbally, learn that he was hung
for the offence.
Our readers are aware that the trade in tobacco is
monopoly In Mexico, which is farmed out by the gov
eminent 1t was abolished by General Scott but has
been resumed by the present government and Manning
Mcintosh are the principal contractors for it pres
en There is an attempt now making by the State gov
ernmens OF Vera Cruz and Puebla to have this monopoly
done away WITH and the growth of tobacco and the trade
in it declared free Other States expected to follow
in support OF these two States and it believed they
will succeed in abolishing the odous monopoly.
Lieutenant Iilden, formerly OF the u. s. army,
the Trent, and went ashore at Pass Chris
tan Our readers cannot need to be reminded OF the
deeds by which he brought deep nfamy upon himself in
the city of Mexico He compelled by the govern
ment to leave that country
Paroles is still in Mexico, and is SAID to be endeavor
ing procure pardon for himself Ii is thought that he
will be successful that he will not even be subjected
the inconvenience of a temporary exile.
Foreigners, told, are treated with much more
consideration in Mexico since the war, than they were
formerly. The Americans share particularly in this in
crease of regard.
