The New Orleans Courier presents the follow
ing summary of political intelligence, derived from
files of papers from the city of Mexico to the 4lh
instant:
The ..Diario Official" of the 2Sth ultimo denies
in the strongest terms the absurd reports which 1t
saws have been circulated abroad concerning the
pretended alliance Of Mexico with Spain and Eng
land for the defence of the Island of Cuba, and the
project attributed to the present rulers OF Mexico
of restoring that country to the Crown OF Spain.
The "Diario'' had already stated, although III less
positive terms, that the Government would never
countenance any scheme leading to the overthrow
of the national independence Of the Republic.
The same paper adds that the present lnterna-
tional relations of Mexico are of the most friendly
character, and that it is the intention of the Gov
ernment to use all its endeavors to preserve that
happy state of things as long as it can do so with
out injury to the rights and interests OF the country
The .'Universal" conradcts the rumor that
hostilities had actually broken out between the
troops of Governor Tras and the American forces
stationed near the valley of Meslla; and II ex-
presses the belief that the pending difficulties Will
soon be amicably settled. -,
In reference TO the contents Of lis files OF Next
can papers Of the same date as the above, the Ne"
Orleans Bee remarks:
can attentive perusal of them satisfies us that
President Santa Anna is making vigorous efforts
for the maintenance of peace and public order, as
we'll as for the national improvement of the coun-
try and the development of its resources. Heev-
identity believes that strong government-a des,
potism under republican forms-is alone adapted
to the Mexican nation. All his acts and measures
tend to the paramount supremacy of the central
power. He may succeed in his ambition, but we
have our msgivings. We look upon this as the
final experiment of the capacity of Mexico for any
species of government short of astringent military
despotism. Should it fail, the independence OF
that country will not long endure"

MURDER NEAR LYSoHBURG.-We learn from
the Lynchburg Virginian that an old Italian, who
was unable to speak the English language, was
murdered on Wednesday 10th, by man named
William Hill, near groggery in Amherst, mile
and half from Lynchburg. The rurnoc was that
it was cold blooded murder Hill had not been
arrested at last accounts.
The Lynchburg Express states that the deceased
entered the groggery where number of persons
were carousing, and was requested to leave. Not
understanding them, he stood still, when Hill
knocked him down. kicked him out of the house,
and struck him over the head blow with coulter,
which caused his death in few minutes.

E- The London News tells a story of par
tcular interest to poets, as follows;
"Itappears that the Austrian commandant
at Perugia-a city having sort of fame in
the annals of burlesque and satirical poetry
has left himself sorely aggrieyed by GER
tain squib, the production of some one, who,
for lack of deadier missiles, has fired a vol
lev of iambics at the imperial army. Being
unable to trace out the writer, the command
ant sent for the Papa governor and ordered
him to supply list fall the poets Of Peru
gia; but in the city Of Coppetta, Caporali,
and Antinori, where every man is satirlst,
and where the Accomplishment Of verse is
universal, their exercise is at once invidious
and difficult. The Austrian however, was per
emtorv. and straightway made into the poet
ical pretentons of the yersifers, npmberleSs in
Perngia Finally, the critical detectives re-
duced the long list of local poets to fve-those
alone beingin the Governors opinion, worthy
of the true Castilian honors--and the Aus
trian administration of the same. 1t was
a proud day for the fye--but alarming. Ush
cred into the Austrian presence, the poets were
stripped naked and medical officer was com
msnndied to report on physical capacity d
each to bear blows with stick. On this re
port being made in the hearing of each, th'
conmandant addressed them thus: Gentle
men, you have justheard the number Of stripes
