LATER FROM YUCATAN AND TIE
HUANTEPEC.

The Neto Orleans PlcayuHe has dates from the
Isthmus of Tehuansepec, by the Alabama, to Jan.
18th;
The papers of Yucatan are very indignant
against the English authorities OF Yucatan for in
terferng in the affairs Of the Peninsula The
Vera Cruz papers think that Mexico ought TO re-
monstrate seriously with Great Britain on her In
fraction Of her treaty stipulations They say that
Spain only permitted Eng land to establish lac
tory at Belize to carry on the trade IN logwood'
under the express stipulation that no iortlhcatlon
should be erected. In spite Of this the English
have fortified Belize, taken possession OF large
tract Of country, and exercise authority over 1t
Just as if it had always belonged to them.
The Alabama left Minatitlan on the 25th ult,
and was detained one day inside OF the bar Oy
norther Left Vera Cruz on the Both ult
A correspondent of the True Delta, writing from
Minatitlan, Jan. "a, says Oar photographic
party under Lieut.. Temple, U. S. n, assisted by
Passed Midshipman Murphy, u. 5. N, are engaged
upon a survey of the river from this place up
They have already progressed 80 miles IN their
work, making a complete and detailed survey
very satisfactory in its results. This work done,
they cross to the Pacific side SAY in three weeks
and make a complete examination OF all the har-
bors, &c, on that coast. The survey OF the river
from the mouth to this place being now sufficiently
accurate for present purposes, Will be delayed Till
their return and finished before the return OF the
expedition TO Few Orleans
One party under Mr. Williams left this place is
DAYS since, and though no information has been
received from them, it is, beyond doubt, probable
that they are employed in running lines from Ill
Barrio to the coast of the Pacific.
The third party, under MIR. Avery, have 0een
employ ed, in the meantime, in establishing base
limo at this point, in making complete survey oil
the country In thia neighborhood, and In running
a suppostion line hence, l5 miles beyond TesIste-
pee, (aay 6s miles, all of which will be available
should this point be selected as the Cult terminus
of the road. They have completed map showing
the topography Of the country to that distance,
have also detailed the profile of their route and
established the grade, which, at the maximum, Is
extremely favorable for the easy construction oil
the Railroad.
1t is not however, to be understood that Mana
titan is selected as the terminus OF the road
although in all probability, it will be located at
no distance hence. The great difficulty encoun-
tered in procuring transportation for men and
supplies from this point TO PasO SaraOia, had its
weight in causing this survey to be made. The
required time to reach the Pass and return, is
from II to a days, and as only one set OF canoes
was to be had, consequently one party bad to
await their return from the conveyance OF the
FIRST, and thus were benefcislly employed In the
interim.
Little doubt exists among the best informed, OF
the practicabiito Of the enterprise though 1t may
take a longer time than was at first anticipated,
owing to the wrong idea had of the state OF the
roads and the means of transportation across the
Isthmus. This last reason will also account for
the lack of more detailed reports from tho Chief
Engineer.
