LATER FROM MEXICO.
Arrival of tho HritIsh Steamer

The English mail steamer lay, Captain Chap
man, arrived in the lower bay Saturday, the
goth inst, in three and half days from Vera Cruz,
with twenty seven passengers 1870, 900 in specie,
and 59l ccroons cochineal.
We have looked over file of the Trait d. Union,
and of the Eco del Commerce.. They contain most
mournfu descriptions of the ravagcs of the cholera.
''ln the city of Mexico says the Trait d Union,
''from the 25th, at which date we ceased our daily
report to the ID of July, the total number Of cases
has been 1000; deaths ,234. 1t will hence be per-
ccived that we have had 2S6 cases of cholera each
day, and of that number ITO have died We had
hoped that the plague was disappearing, but within
two days past 1t has recommended its work OF
death, and is more horrible than ever We advise
| all persons to be particularly cautious.
"From the first appearance of the cholera until the
ID of July there have been Is 900 cases. and G400
deaths. Whatever may be said to the contrary,
we assure our friends of the truth of our re-
port"
Private letters say it has disappeared from Qua
mai uato also from Queretaro. tits now raging up
on the Mexican gulf Jalapa, Orizaba, and Vera
Cruz have just entered the fierce ordeal of suffering
and death. The city authorities OF Vera Cruz are
acting in a most commendable manner. They
have opened hospitals, and urged the sick to seek
them; but the antpathy felt by the poor of all ma
tons towards hospitals prevents the possibility of
great benefits being derived from them. The mis-
cradle will suffer till life is almost ex-
tinct, and then their relatives will take them in
dying state 10 the hospital.
The political horizon of Mexico seems enwrapt in
clouds Hope of its future grandeur is fact desert
ing the hearts Of the people. The dismissal of Sc
nor Gutierres from his post of Minister of Finance
meets with hearty disaPprobation. He had been
replaced for the present by Seiior Lacunza Minis
ter of Foreign Relations. Guterrcs made some
astounding developments regarding the state of the
treasury. He is said to have been dismissed be-
cause he was too honest TO become the tool of am
bilious men. The Trait a. Union remarks
"The treasury is not only empty, but there are
no available means by which it can be filled, lat
least legally filled The state fthe country arises
from the evils which have crept in and become a
part and portion Of its system OF government. They
must all be changed, ere any permanent good can
result to Mexico.
The "Siglo 18TH" Doth century, has a long ar
ticle entitled approaching Calamities," WHICH
gives dark outline of the state of affairs. II says:
War and the plague have been our portion
within the past few years, and now are approach
ing two evils more dreadful-}da and ciril
tcdr, multitude Of causes, beyond our control,
occasioned the war. The plague was sent by God.
and by him il will be withdrawn in his own good
time; but famine and civil war will soon be upon
us. They the result Of the evils Of our systems
and the bad management of the affairs Of the
try. They may be avcrted, and every noble heart
should be nerved 10 the contest. Let the president
be man capable Of sustaining the coming trials,
and our native land may yet shine bright jewel
among the nations of the earth.
Ia Durango the inhabitants arc suffering greatly
from the attacks of the Indians The rancho of
San Luis has been entirely destroyed, and nine
women carried off by the savagcs. Ten men were
left dead on the ground.
The Governor of Chihuahua has been dismissed
by the Legislature Of the State. The given
were the impossiblity Of any cooperation between
the Executive and the Legislative powers.
Three of the Deputies elected to Congress had
fallen victims 10 the cholera.
The Mexican journals are filled with extracts
from the English and French papers the subject
of "thc invasion Of Cuba by Lopez and his bandit
H." They also contain the trial Of Lopez at New
Orleans. The Eco del Commerce. contains a letter
dated Havana, 9th of June, in which the writer
says:
We remain in statu quo until we learn the dccis-
ion Of tho government at Madrid. IL is rumored,
however, that Spain will demand Of the United
States At least $40 900 900 as naturalization for
the Losses at Cardcnas and the injuries caused 10
the commerce Of the island. Without the fulfil
mcnt of these conditions, will be inevitable
A YANKEE IDEA.-The Pioneer has just reached
Vera Cruz, en- route for California. However sin
gular II may appear, she sails on the water and
travels on the land. From Vera Cruz she sails u
Guazncoalcos, and ascends the river as high pos
sibe, then she is put upon wheels, which slowed
away in the hold at present. She thus proceeds "a
the Pacific, where again she enters her native Gle

| nation, who would have thought Of reach
| ing the placid Pacific by these means Viva os
