GEN. WokTH.-This distinguished officer arrived |
at a late hour last night from Vera Cruz on board
the steamship Alabama. Our citizens will doubt |
less give him hearty greeting.
Later from Mexico.
By the arrival of the steamship Virginia, Capt
Spinney from VeraCruz, which port she left on the
18th, we have received papers from the City of Mex
leo to the Sth inst, which contain much interest
ing news.
From the Monitor of the 9TH inst we learn that
on the 9th the diplomatic corps went in a body to
the Palace to pay their respects to Herrera as Pres
dent of the Republic. They were received by the
members of the Cabinet and other distinguished
persons. The following are the names Of the diff
ferent Ministers who were present:
ST. CLrFoRD Envoy Extraordinary of the United States
DOYLE, of England
GoURY of France.
ARMRNrA, of Spain.

that exist beneath the sky This forms the basis of its
present policy The prudence and high reputation of the
members of the Diplomatic body viii be the best security for
the Strengthening Of the bonds of amy which unite with
other nations.
The same paper from which we take the above
has news from Guanaiuato TO the Sd. A letter
from Silao dated the 3D. states that all the troops
were on the march for Guanajuato, and would
probably be engaged with the rebels the next day.
A letter from Irapuato dated the Sd, says that II
was Gen. Mariana Chico who presented himself to
Bustamente as ambassador from Paroles; but the
| former would not listen to him, and Minon forced
| him to leave instantly without holding commune
cation with any one This circumstance was said
to have disheartened the troops of Paroles.
On the Sd inst, says the Monitor, all business
was suspended in GuanaiuatO, as the advanced
posts of the hostile armies had become engaged in
the outskirts of the city. On the previous day,
deputation from the Ayuntamiento waited on Pa
redes requesting him to fight outside the city, III or
der TO save the inhabitants from the horrors OF war
but he answered that, they had called upon him,
| thew must aid him, and bear the consequences
One of the deputatiOn replied that this was mis-
take as the people of that city totally opposed
to him in politics. Paroles, however, insisted upon
remaining, and this increased the public feeling
! against him.
| The Monitor of the Sth says:
1t was said yesterday that the mail of Thurs
day, the 5th, brought news that considerable
number of the Indians Of Xichu had entered Gu
anauao to assist Paredes If this be true there is
no longer any doubt that this is trying to ex-
cite war OF CuSeS IL was also Sl IlldL Tie TeNO-
utOnists had found some guns; but this we do not
believe. 1t is certain, however, that some Amer-
can artllerists, who had at first been with the
rebels have passed over TO the ranks of those who
defend the Government"
The Governor of Durango has replied to the over
lures of Paroles in even a stronger manner than
Governor Degollado, of Morelia
Yucatan.-The Bolettn Official, of Merida, pub
fishes decree, by which the right of fishing on all
the coasts of the peninsula is granted to Spanish
vessels. The same paper states that the Indians
had been committing more outrages, having burned
San Jose and the hacienda of Chaca. They then
penetrated to Tecoh from which they were repused.
By the same paper, of the sd, we learn that the
Indians had been repused from Hampolol-burn-
ing, in their retreat, the haciendas of Yaxcaq and
Nacheja. Another triumph had also been gained
by the whites in the town of Muna. They like
wise succeeded in driving the savages out Of Ceno-
tillo, killing SO, and taking arms and ammunition
Still later from Vera Cruz.
