By the steamship New Orleans, Capt. E. Aud,
which arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, we
have received news from that place to the 81 INST,
and from the city of Mexico to the 9th ult. Our
correspondence is very voluminous, and will be
found even more than usually interesting. At the
last dates, our Commissioners, Messrs. Sewer
and Clifford had not started for Querearo and OUR
correspondent Chapparral, seems to suspect thatlt
is possible they may never go there. 1t seems that
there had been some difficulty concerning the es-
cort the Mexicans protesting against the entrance
of any number of our troops into their new capital
even under a flag of truce, and our Commissioners
contending for the privilege which had been COLI
ferred by the armistice. This circumstance lo-
gether with the difficulty of obtaining quorum
renders the question of Peace more than ever ufi-
certain Our correspondent very justly OURSELVES
that as bodies of Lancers are frequently seen III TIC
very Plaza of Mexico itself, it Is unreasonable anu
absurd for the Mexican authorities to deny US Tie
right which they claim for themselves. Inc o''i'

The long expected quorum has not as yet assembled
at Queretaro but, as has been so often before pro-
missed, it might be confidently looked for in a few
days. We have been often disappointed by the
promise Of the Mexican press upon this subject that
we have almost given up any hope that we may
have entertained, of speedy meeting OF Congress,
or in fact of any meeting at ALL Yet this time
there seems to be more foundation for the belief in
a reunion of the National Assembly. Pena Pena
had had in contemplation to exclude from the list
of Mexican States, as far as counting, the number
from which quorum was necessary, those DEPART
ments which have made no elections; but having
obtained information that a sufficient number of
Deputies were On the road to the Capital to make
up quorum, he has very literally condescended to
count the unreprssented States. The Monitor has

triotic contemporary Of the Monitor will see that

him to keep his word about that quorum on Mon

PAREDEs.-This iRustrious Mexican and mon
archst, continues to attract considerable share of
attention, although yet he has committed no overt
act of insubordinaton. The same paper we have
quoted above contains the following
The movements of Paroles, as recorded in
the Star for the last two or three months, appear
to be attracting a good deal of attention in the
United States. We think, however, unnecessa-
rlys Paroles can get no considerable party, and
any revolution in his name would be put down In
moment. The great popular movement in France
against monarchy must have chilled the warmth
of his peculiar political sentiments, and cut down
any hopes that he may have entertained in regard to
the success Of, his principles in Mexico. Indeed,
for some months past nothing has been heard of
him. Although the government gave orders for his
arrest he appears to be still at large, though being
in concealment in or near San Luis. The San Luis
and Queretaro papers have not word respecting
him. We hear of Bustamente in the same vicinity,
carrying out the instructions of the Supreme Gov
eminent, in suppressing rebelons, but not word
of Paroles. We should not be surprised to learn
that the intelligence from Europe-particuarly from
France, with whose Ministry, while abroad, he was
in such consultation-had so far disconnected his
plans, that he will not be in hurry to re-appear
upon the political stage.

volutionsts publishes violent article in opposition

The elections have taken place in Morelia, and

The Arco Iris says that there is a conspiracy ex-

the total destruction of the Mexican army.

on the Both ult., and Immediately embarked on
board the brig St. Petersburg for NewYork, under
a salute from the Fort of Conception. He was
waited upon by the Commodore of the Fleet, and
received salute from the flagship Cumberland.
On the LIST inst, the st. Petersburg was lowed to
sea by the propeller Thompson. In passing the
store-ship Relief and frigate Cumberland, the rig
gng was filled with men, and three cheers were
given fer the old hero.
