FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.

The dates from the city of Mexico are to the
26th of February. Letters written that day
say that an armistice fortw months would be
signed by Gen. Butler the following day. Our
correspondent at Vera Cruz agrees with the
Free American that such an armistice had been
arranged and determined upon.
We have no letters from the city of Mexico
so late as the 26th ult., and the New Orleans
sailed so soon after the arrival of the express
from the capital, that the news by it had not
finally transpired. Our latest papers from the
city of Mexico are TO the 10Th ult., but our
extracts from the papers will be best introduce
ed by the following letter from our excellent
correspondent, I'D. S.
Mexico, Feb. 10, 1S48
You will find in the enclosed extracts from
the Star, all the news worth mentioning.
Among other things is translation of letter
from Santa Anna, i'll relation to his escape
Tehuacan, and of note soliciting. from his
Government passport TO leave the country.
His charge upon Gen. Lanes command of hav-
ing taken his plate is false, and his insinua-
ton, as to the conduct af the General while in
Tehuacan needs no refutation in the U. States.
The spleen he vents is in some measure excu-
Sd BILE, since he was driven out OF Tehuacan bv
our troops without time being given him to get
on his new uniform, and since he was driven
out of Oaiaca with as little ceremony by his
own countrymen. A man thus made shuttle
cock Of may be allowed some displays of
temper, which though directed by mis- char
acteristic disregard of truth, will harm no
one.
General Cushing, with an escort of two COM
panies of Dragons, left here on the 18th for
Puebla, to assist in organizing the court of In
quiry appointed to investigate the unfortunate
difficulties between the general officers here.
1t is understood that on the court being organ
ized it will adjourn to this city, and here trans
act its business.
On Sunday night a Texan Ranger named
Adam Absence, of Capt. Roberts company,
was attacked by number of Mexicans in the
suburbs of the city, and killed. He was man
gled in a brutal manner, and the Texans, exas-
perated at the cruel death of their comrade
sailed into the streets the next evening, to the
number offifteen or twenty, and proceeding to
the quarter where Absence was killed, took
fearful vengeance upon party whom they
found armed with pistols and knives. Seven
teen of the Mexicans are reported killed, and
forty wounded. Absence was German had
served in Bonaparte's cavalry, and was good

BRITEsH DESIGNS ON CuBA.-By the Britain
MIA, we have the following report of an inter-
esting debate in Parliament.
In the House of Commons, on the Sd ult.,
Lord George Bentinck said:
The noble lord then referred tot letter which
ne had received from naval officer, describing
the horrors of the slave trade, as carried on in
the swift sailing vessels which are equipped
expressly TO escape the cruisers off the coast of
Africa. He Lord G. Bentinck) agreed entirely
with the writer of the letter referred to, in
deeming il ruinous task for England to have
to blockade a coast of 1850 miles in extent
He would, instead of pursuing the blockade and
preventive system; strike blow at the chief
resort of the slavers, and would smother the
hornets in their nests in Cuba. He had recent
y seen in the Times paragraph taken from
New York paper. wherein the views of Eng
land upon Cuba were very broadly speculated
upon, and the reasons which would justify her
in seizing that island, in payment of the debt
due by Spain to her citizens, set fully FORTH
Every one knew thai the slave trade could not
be put down as long as market existed in
Cuba. Destroy that mart and you would at
once be able TO withdraw your blockading
squadron, and further the ends of Justice in
liquidating the claims of the Spanish bondhol-
ders He would say. take possession of Cuba
and settle the question forever. Hear, hear.
1t would be only be distracting for just debt;
and it would have the effect ofcompletely de-
stroying the slave trade.
MIR. abouchere-Would you also take
Brazil?
Lord G. Beutinck-There was a material
difference in the two cases; we had no just
claim against Brazil. In possessing Cuba, Eng
land would have the key of the Gulf of Mexico
as she had in 1862, when she took it with six
sail Of the line. Then we need have no alarm
for our American colonies, because we could
cut the trade of the United States in two, by
destroying the communica ton between New
York and the Mississippi. We should then
hear no more boasting from Uncle Sam about
stretching his length from California to the
Pacific, and turning Cuba into kitchen gar
den.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA
MORE TROUBLE BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND
The ship Panama, Captain Grisworld, arrived
on Saturday last at New York, from Canton,
whence she sailed on the 18th of December:
Sir John Davis, the Governor Of Hong Kong,
had arrived at Canton, and demanded from the
Chinese Government the fullest redress for the
murders committed; but no satisfaction hav-
ing been received, consultation of the officers
was held, and they had partly concluded to
blockade Canton. The force, however, was
not sufficient.
The British steamers were ordered to pro-
coed as far up the river practicable, in order
that they may be in readiness to blockade as
soon as determined on.
