The brig Tit arrived al the Southwest Pass, on
Tuesday last, from Vera Cruz, having left that
place on the 25th MI.
To Mr. Matthew Keller, direct from the city of
Mexico, who came passenger in the Tit, we are
indebted for papers from the Capital TO 18th ulL,
and for much valuable information.
The pro eeedings in Congress, up 10 the 18th ult,
were quite UnimponanJ- AmodeIatc Tariff bill,
il was supposed, would pass the House OF Depu-
ties, though its fate in the upper house was deem
ed uncertain. The Minister of Finsuce is TO be
impeacted before the Senate, for infringing the
law, in raising funds for the Government
The iusuuectionary movements OF Sdltepec and
Temascaltepec had been suppressed, and most Of
the insurgents dispersed. Don L. Leon was still
holding ont, but without any other hope Than that
of saving his life and the lives Of his followers. II
is said that If the Government do not pardon them
they will destroy themselves.
The most appalling accounts reach the Capital
daily of Indian outrages peTpetraed IN every drec-
ton, and the Government, II seems, is utterly in
capable of afording protection 10 the lives OF the
inhabitants.
The California gold fever is as rife in the city OF
Mexico il is in this country, almost all the for
eigners, not engaged in commerce, leaving Tor The
fplacers."
Mr.. Clifford, our Minister to Mexico, and family,
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 24th ult and proceed
ed 10 the Capital the following day.
General La Vega was at Vera Cruz, awaiting a
vessel 10 convey him 10 Tampieo, where he is or
dered 10 take command of the forces at that point
He offered the brig Tit seven hundred dollars 10
land him at Tampico, which offer her captain de-
clined, lest by 50 doing he should disapPoint bis
passengers by the detention.
The road from Vera Cruz 10 The Capitol Is so in
ested with robbers, that scarcely diligence pas
ses without being robbed. A short time ago, the
Puebla diligence WIS robbed within the precincts
of that city, and within a few hundred yards OF
the palace, by three gueirilloes. There were sir
passengers in the diligence at the time (all Mex
icansl all Of whom were armed, but they as usual
made no resistance, permitting the robbers TO car
nv off 1915 and god watch.
The British mail steamer Forth was wrecked on
Los Alacranos, about 100 miles from CamPeachy,
on the 14th ult after lying three days at the Island
CT Perez, in want Of provisions. She was carried
on the shoals in calm weather by the strong eur
rents in that portion of the Gulf. Great blame is
attached TO her officers, for their sheer neglect in
the matter. Apassenger who was on board at the
time states that the vessel went Or the reefs a
half-past o. clock in the morning, in clear moon
light and, at the time, the hands were washing
decks. The lookout, il appears, was not at HI;
post as the reefs could have been distinctly seer
ahead, by any person on deck. There were or
board, in all, 126 souls, 80 of whom were passen
