the Massachusetts.
Capt. White, of the Louisiana Mounted Men,
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 3lst ult. in eight
days from the City of Mexico. He was de-
tanned one day at Puebla
A gentleman who came passenger on the
| Washington, to whom we are indebted for
much information from Mexico. very kindly
communicated, assures us that the general o.
pinion among those Mexicans of the first class
whose judgment is considered good, is that
the Treaty will not be ratified by the Mexican
Congress. In fact, the members are intimida-
ted by the populace, and will not dare to vote
for the Treaty So saws our informant.
In anticipation that the army might fall
back from Mexico, the Port Commissary at
Puebla had received orders as early as the
goth alt. from headquarters to contract for
$4,000 rations, to be delivered at a moments
notice for a downward movement. Captain
Webster, Quartermaster at Puebla, had also
received orders to have transportation ready.
Al Perote similar orders had been received.
Avery large Mexican train, consisting of
some 400 wagons and about 5000 pack mules
left Vera Cruz for Mexico ON the 29th, 30th
S1st ult. The American train left on the Sd
install under command of Major LOOMS
The Free american says the first train was at
tackled the night of the S0th, and seven pack
mules were taken by the gueTrilleros.
After Santa Anna had been escorted by
Col. Hughes to the hacienda of FL Encero, the
property of the former, he remained there till
the I'd inst when he left for Antigua, Just north
| Of Vera Cruz, where he embarked on the 4th
inst. on Spanish brig for Kingston. Jamaica,
as some accounts say; others make Havana
his destination. 1t has hitherto been under
stood that he would proceed to Jamaica.
There was much excitement at Vera Cruz
on the 30th ult. it having been discovered that
cd Lieut.. John Smith, of Capt. Whites Com
pany Of Mounted Men, had deserted, taking
with him seven men of his company. The
same day Capt. White gave pursuit and got
wind of the fugitives on the Orizaba road, but
could not overtske them.
Our correspondent at the Capital was of opin-
ion on the 18th ult. that the Court of INQUIRY
would adjourn to the United States within
three or four weeks at farthest Gen Butler
is determined to send Mr.. Trist out of the
country as soon as possible, and had demanded
Of the Court that the remainder of his evidence
should be taken as early as possible.
The most notable event in Mexican affairs
at last accounts is the attempt of Gen. Paroles
to set up revolution in San Louis Potosi.
He is represented as aided by the Santanistas
and monarchists. The Star of the 23d ult rep
resents him as applying to the Government at
Queretaro for permission to reside at San Luis
-Parades in the meanwhile lying pe71lu
The Ex-Governor Of San Luis Adame was in
conniyance with Paroles.
The next news from San Luis is to the 18th,
when Adame was arrested and sent off under
strong escort to Queretaro, by order of the
general Government. This arrest is said to
have caused very great excitement at San
Luis against the Government.
On the 2Sth it was reported in Mexico that
Paroles himself had been arrested by the
Government, and great satisfaction was ex-
pressed at this result, as it seemed to premise
the restoration of order. The news of this ar
rest was however, at the least premature, al
though it was given in the Monitor Republic
dno of the 23d ult. Letters of that date from
San Luis say nothing about the arrest.
The Star of the 29th ult. in announcing the
arrival of the Deputies from Guadaiara st
Queretaro, says: "The Congress will soon be
opened with a sufficient number of Deputies
On the 18th ult. thirty members of the whole
number qualified were in attendance.
