Late from Mexico.

| BY the arrival of the brig American, Captain
Mallory, from Vera Cruz, which port she left on
the 23d ult., we have received our regular files
of Mexican papers from Vera Cruz up to March
23d, and from the capital to March 18th, inclu
sive.
The country still remains Tranquil, all the To-

papers rejoice greatly at the last, and as most OF
them think, the final defeat of Carvaia The
TRAIT d. Union, however, supposes that Carvajal,
notwithstanding the. ill success of his previous
efforts, wilt make yet third, as he is certainly

A resolution has been introduced into the
Legislature OF Vera Cruz, requesting Congress
to repeal or alter the act of February %, 1882,
as being in opposition to the guaranteed rights
of the people. Under this law foreigners are
arrested and expelled from the republic without
even the formality of trial and condemnation
Such acts of tyranny are of frequent occurrer ce
in Mexico, and it is good sign that they have
excited opposition among some of the Mexicans
themselves.
The electric telegraph will be finished all the
way from Mexico to Vera Cruz by April LIST.
