FROM MEXICO.
Arrival of the New orleans.
Always, my dear =,


The U, S, teamer New Orleans, Captain
Aud, arrived last evening from Vera Cruz,
which place she left on the Sd, and brings us
our files to that date, but we have not yet re-
ccived any of our correspondence by her.
1t will be seen by the published list below,
that all the members of the Court of Inquiry,
are among the passengers on her, and also Gen.
Pillow and other officers.
We learn verbally, that the Generals inn
preston was, that1he treaty would be ratified,
and that the proclamation alluded to in our
extracts below, IF reducing the number re-
CURED for a quorum of Congress, by excluding
the deputies from California, New Mexico
aud Yucatan, had actually been issued.
Il is said, Mr.. Sewer would return to the
United States towards the close OF this month,
Clifford will remain until the final action has
been had on the treaty.-N O. Bulletin.
FROM THE INTERIoR.-The mail brought, last
evening, papers from Mexico, to the 9th two
DAYS later than those received on Saturday
last.
In the Monitor, of the Goth inst, we read
the following:
From QUERErARo.-We learn that six depu.
ties and one senator were wanting to com
mence the session Of Congress, and that the
President intends to issue a decree excluding
the representatives Of Yucatan, New Mexico
and Chihuahua, who are in the impossibility Of
attending, in consequence of the war. So thai
fifty members will constitute the necessary
number.
Three deputies arrived yesterday from Pue'
bla. and will not be able to leave for Quere'
taro until the 9Th of May, not having been able
to procure seats in the diligence.
The same paper of the eth says, in another
letter received yesterday it is said that the de-
cree declaring the deputation Of Yucatan
New Mexico and Chihuahua, unnecessary to
the meeting of Congress, would not be ISSUED
as some representatives have arrived and other'
are on their way to Querotaro, audit is though
that Congress will soon meet. The following
opinions prevail at Queretaro; that the whole
treaty will be accepted by the assembly with
out discussing it article by article, or that thu
faculty will be given to the executive to aP
prove it.
We learn from the Monitor Of 9Th, that tn
American Commissioners were to leave Of
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1848-05-19

sian troops were ordered 10 the assistance of
Holstein.
Prussia seems to be jogging along quietly
again.
A letter from Austria says:
Reform is progressing at Vienna, slowly but
steadily. The city had resumed its wonted 0p-
pearance, and but for the occasional excite
ment occasioned by the receipt of intelligence
from Italy and other parts Of Germany, haymo-
ny might be fully restored.
Private letters from- Vienna Of the 5th ult.
announce the departure an that day Of Count
Hartig for Milan, bearing terms Of paciication
to the Lombards, whose independence the
Emperor OF Austria is willing to acknowl-
edge on moderate terms, and that T" the Arch
duke John, the head Of the liberal party, had
set out for Frankfort, with the expectation Of
being elected Emperor Of Germany"
The Bohemian people have stated what re-
forms they will be contepted with; and no
doubt is expressed at headquarters but that
those reforms will be granted.
Charles Albert, the supporter Of Italian lib
erty, had embattled his army, and it was ex-
pected that a great contest would come off, at
Castiglione or some other place on the side
Of Verona, between him and the Austrians.
Hungary declares herself independent oil
A austrian domination, and the Archduke
Stephen has been chosen King. So runs
the news. If true, it is of high Importance,
Madrid was quiet on the 9TH ult. The Duke
and Duchess of Montpensier had arrived.
F,om Russia comes news that 10000 troops
are ordered to concentrate at Warsaw. In ar
important article, which appears in the St
Petersburg Journal of the 3lst March, the Elm.
peror of Russia promises strict neutrality as re,
CARDS other states, provided no attack be made
upon any party Of his own territories. Largt
bodies Of troops have also been ordered to tn,
A nstrian and Prussian frontiers.
Lastly, though not leastly, we have to stat,
that Pho Nino has decided on the breaking up
or expulsion, of the Jesuits from the Papal do
minions.-N 0. Crescent.

,JnCk Downing.

The redoutable Maj, is again in the field and
finds time to relax occasionally from the So.
we're and responsible duties Of his important
" diplomatic functions' in Mexico, to write
some Of his lnimitable letters home. We ex-
tract a paragraph from one in the Intelligen-
Ger:
= We've had Gineral Scott on trial hers i've
days for high treason against Ginera4 Pillow
and Gineral Worth. If it goes agin him /
don't know whether they conclude to hang
him or sshet him up in some Of the mines of
Mexico for life. But he fights like a Turk,
and amt skeered at nothin. The Presiden.
better send on some more help, for | amt sure
that what is here will be able to handle him.
The battle has been pretty hot for FIVE days
and don't see as they get thel upper hand Of
him at. all yet. 1t would be a great pity if a
man that has been guilty Of such horrible
crimes as he has out here III Mexico, should
slip through their fingers at last and escape
punishment. l begin to feel a little afraid
how il will come out. For mypart, | 60 for
%ieslice, hit who twill. If a man will commit
crimes let him be punished forts I'm afraid
the President has missed a fgger in leaving it
out to such men as he has. 1t would.a been
safer and more sure to leave ii out to a jury of
Mexicans. l've no doubt the least verdict
they would give, would been two years in
the deepest and darkest mine in Mexico for
his taking Vera Cruz and the Castle, two years
more for the cutting and sloshin he give lem
at Cerro Gordo; two years more for Chnpulte.
pee and Churubusco, ond all the rest Of hi.
life forhis taking the city Of Mexico. in that
case you see, his punishment would a been
measured out something according to his
eli nes.'
