Arrival OF the Braziiiers.


INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE FROM THE REPUBLIC OF
MgxIc HURRICANE At TAMPIco.
The bark Braxilie o, after long, tedious. and
unpleasant passage, arrived yesterday, from Vera
Cruz She brings $4,000 in specie.
We have received, by her, dates from the city of
Mexico to the 18th, and Vera Cruz to the 18th of
July, inclusive, together with full files of all the
Mexican journals.
AT Vera Cruz there was nothing of note stirring
and, a. is usual, no business of consequence doing
though the place remarkably healthy for this
season Of the year.
Among the passengers by the Braziero is the
Able Brosseur de Borbourg, who has been travel
ling through the republic for upwards Of three
years, in search Of material for extensive and
complete history OF the country, from the earliest
trsditionary recollectiops.
Also among the number is Mr.. +. Conner, one
OF the editors and proprietors Of the @iHa CaHfor-
MA, who has been entrusted with official dispatches
from the Legation at Mexico TO the Department Of
State at Washington. Mr. G. left the San Fran
cisco ste amer on the Pacific at Acapulco and thence
proceeded to the cspal the usual trail through
the mountains. He represents the road as entirely
free from danger, but would most earnestly recon-
mend Americans TO take the old route through Pa
mama. The privations and exposures consequent
upon long travel throu III a semi bar coun.
try, and the petty interferences and annoy ances
constantly thrown in the way Of foreigners by the
government officers, cannot be ofiset by the beauty
OF the scenery any novelty that the country may
present.
Col Ramsey, who is in connection with com pany
m this city, ia now in Mexico, pushing his nego
tiatons for the exclusive privilege of constructing
stage road through to Acapulco. The project,
though hardly feasible can, with the promised aid
OF the Mexican government, and immense capi-
tai, be mated; bat the whole code Of marine
laws will require to be revised, abrogated en-
tirey, before the enterprise be put in success
full operation The terminus Vera Cruz-in every
point Of view, is against the project. Harbor cli-
mate, position, and airline reg guations, all conspire
to render it the most iD-favored spot that could
have been selected upon the whole Mexican coast.
The promises CT Gen. Arista to Col Ramsey,
for the prosecution Of the work, munifcent but
not to be relied upon. he road would, doubt
shorten the distance between .sew Orleans aud San
Francisco at least eight days; but the expense of
travelling over 1t would be necessarily greater in
proportion or perhaps more than its advantages in
speed.
The few Americans who are residing in the city
Of Mexico were much cnag, ined, on the 4th Of
July last, at the want OF patriotism apparently
eviLced by our Leg alton. Mr. Letcher, the Minis
ter, being sbeent, and our Legation in the republic
yet having had the ber ality to hire furnish
a house, the tag in consequence without
place from which it might untold is stripes.
Travellers and foreigners generally, especially
Americans, feel and see oaily, the indignities the
people ard government of the United States re-
ceiyed through the illiberal conduct Of every re-
preventative, from Mr. Poinsett down to the pre-
sent incumbent.
The absence of MIR. Letcher, at this time, is Bit
terly commented upon oy Americans, whose inter
