SIX DAYS LATER FROM VERl

CRUZ.
The steamships Augusta and Virginia
left Vera Cruz on Saturday, the 22d inst.
The Augusta came up TO town yesterday
afternoon.
Gen. Cadwalader and Mr.. Trist came
over passengers on the Virginia, and will
no doubt come up to town this morning;
the passengers by the Augusta we have
given in another place.
The impression was that the Court OF
Inquiry would not adjourn for 3 weeks,
and that Genaral Scott would await its
adjournment. The Star Of the 18th says
that he is in fine health.
The burden of the editorial articles in
the Star is that there is yet no quorum Of
Congress at Queretare. 1t is obvious
from the Stars reiterated complaints that
there is great fear lest no quorum should
meet at all.
Paroles, as late as the 1lth inst, had
not been arrested by the Mexican Governs
ment He was still at San Luis, and,
according to a letter in Ell Eco de Cons
erciO, taking up his residence with the
lawyers in the place." We hear no more
of lis designs.
The ship American sailed from Vera
Cruz for this port on the 10Th inst, with
ninety-two sick soldiers in charge of DIR.
Wright.
The Free American remains of opin-
ion that there is little prospect of peace.
On the 10Th its language is:
We announced, few days ago, that we
had conversed with a gentleman from
Mexico, who was of opinion that the
members of Congress would not vote for
the treaty as ratified at Washington. We
tial men, one at Queretaro and the other
at Mexico, who conclude with the opinion
ofthe gentleman in question. Another
letter says that should the members of
Congress violate the constitution of Mex
CO by ceding any part of the territory.
the same members will have to ask the
United States to leave force of several
thousand men to keep order in the Re-
public. The writer is of opinion that so
soon as the American troops will embark
for the United States the Government will
be overthrown, and that new causes for
war will be given TO the United States by
the turbulent people of this country
The STATE of Mexico gives its vote for
General Herrera as President, he receiv>
ing l52 out OF l66 votes.
There was a caucus Of the members Of
Congress present at Queretaro on the 10th
instant, at which resolutions were adopted
TO prevent members then present from
afterwards absenting themselves. and 10
fiil one or two seats made vacant by pros
motion or otherwise. 1t appeared that
but few members were then wanting 10
form quorum-but this is an old story.
There are 1000 Mexican troops in
Queretaro, and yet on the 10Th inst, a dill
igence was attacked within half a mile Of
the city by eight men. They fired upon
the passengers, but the latter showed fight
and killed one of the robbers. The pass
songers returned to town, however, lest
they should again be attacked
The Monitor Rtpubhcano of the l4th
inst. says that, on the 10th, Gen. Busiamen-
tie was at the village ofDolores with par
ty Of his division, while another portion
had gone against the Indians Of the vii
lage Of Xichu, an instruction of whom
had become formidable. They had the
audacity to sack the village of San Diego
Del Biscocho.
