Vincent, arrived at ship Island ON SATURDAY. Slls
let vera Cruz on the evening Of the f5th inst and
bffnss papers from The ciJ Of Mexico to he 18th.
and from faEnpieo mp 10 lie sane date.
The English courier left The CITY OF MEXICO on
The l3ih, AZ iliat Time The city was perfectly quiet
and Congress was debating The pr0priety of a fur
lbef reduction Of The IaIif, which il carried will
have The effeet OF admitting American cotton at
1lpeT cent duty, snd will abolish all the revenue
laws which prohibit articles OF ANY description.
The present Government Is said TO be the most
rigorous which has ever controlled The dcstinies of
Mexico. Herrera Is daily becoming more popu-
Lar, and every exertion is being made to revive
commerce. There has been much speculation A.
TO the Whereabouts Of Paroles, but Il was gene
rally believed al the last accounts that he was in
the city Of Mexico.
The Areo Iris on the 18th says that there IS a
fine prospect OF bringing the Indian difficulties TO
sn end, and that there viii be treaties Of peace be-
tween all the tribes and Mexico, soon concluded.
But little business has been transacted recently
in the Mexican Congress, owing 10 the absence Of
members.
The Governor Of States are required 10 report 10
the Government all strangers arriving within their
domnions-such persons 10 be allowed eli the
freedom aud protection and privileges of Mexican
citizen, on condition Of their disc losing their in
tention TO remain in the country.
The revolutionary movement under Paroles Is
entirely suppressed. Don Ramon GiuzasOls one
OF his principal officers, was taken prisoner the
sth inst, and has since been tried and shot.
Mr. Clifford is treated in the most courteous
manner, not only by the Government, but also BY
private individuals. He has expressed his deter
mination 10 return TO the United States in October
next. A proposition is before the Mexican Con-
gress 10 establish eonsulaies only al London, Ha-
VIE, and Hamburg, and 10 constitute all other
Offices as supplementary consulates. It's passage
is considered doubtful.
Don Anillsga, the business agent Of Santa AIMS
~ Mexico, came as passenger in the Severn,
bound for jamaica where il is said, he is to mary
the daughter of the ex-DictatoT Letters have been
received from Santa Anna in which he has ANNOUNCE
ed 10 his friends that his wife is insane.
On the lst inst, the Minister of war dismissed
from the service over 30 officers, who have ex-
pressed themselves in his favor.
In Vera Cruz all is quiet. The American mer-
chants held meeting about two weeks since, and
passed resolutions eOmplimenting the Mexican
officers Of Vera Cruz, and returning thanks for the
courtesy al their hands. The principal Alcalde
was present, and IN reply to The resolutions, said
that discord between the two nations had not dis
appeared, and that there was now a great neees-
sity Of cultivating good feeling between the two
countries.
There is not a single Mexican soldier at present
in Vera Cruz, and many Of the wealthiest inhabi-
tants take part in guarding the town. II is said
that the authorities are as Obliging and cour-
teous as could be desired. The citizens have or
ganlZed police OF forty Americans, and We lean
that they have expressed their determination 20
keep ont all the Mexican regular soldiers. The
Castle is manned by seyeniy-five OF the citizens,
who relieve each other every week. There Is but
little business doing, though the town is healthy.
The Sierra Madre expedition is openly spoken Of
at TampieO, and il is said thai an agent of the
adyenturers, from this city, has visited TampicO To
ma ke definite arrangements tor the successful ter-
minatiOn of the schemes.
In TamPieo. as in Vera Cruz, the hest DISPOSE
ton Is shown towards ihe Americans who are still
there.
