Interesting from Mexico.
New YORK, Sunday Evening.


JAMES O. BENNETT, ESQ. -
SrR-Hxving arrived by the Black Warrior, beg to
give you particulars which perhaps may interest
you.
We left Vera Cruz by the r. NJ steamer Avon, the
9TH inst at o'clock In the afternoon reaching Havana
on the 10th, at O'Clock in the morning. She carried
about ~, 600, and eighty five passengers
On the l2th We started from Havana at O'Clock in
the morning. reaching this port to day. the same hour
and should have been here at least twenty four hours
scorer if it had not been for gale whick struck us
near Cape Hatteras.
The Black Warrior proved herself to be rss rate sea
boat and her captain not only psriect nautical man
but at the same time gentleman, which fact acknov
ledge with the greatest satisfaction.
Referring to Mexican affairs have to report the ar
rival Of Santa Anna at Vera Cruz and happy to say
that he sntertans very liberal IDEAS at least so he ex
pressed Aimse, well IN private as in public stating
that hs is entirely in favor cf lower and more liberia
ari raising the prohibtaens, the country cannot af
fcrd any longer to lose several millions in erder to pro
te5t dozen OF manufactures; who have become
posts and snuggers that lo will favor any enterprise
III raLoads &C. and was very 9orry that the one com
nen1eu before he left had nes7.y remained stationary
Notwithstanding the large sguandered awsy its
partial construction.
He loft the 9th inst for ,,ce his countr7 seats
and within fey days would to the CAPITAL to
take the reins of government.
he oIy acts up to his promises, the country will be
well off, bat it is much to be feare that such nav not
be the case, the influence eff the manufacturing or
rather smuggliDg) class is very considerable.
1t is to bo regretted that he shouad be possesse of
anmosity towards the American people, SO much SO
that he would not have their money build ralroa Is
with.
A treaty concerning the .Tehuantepe, business wss
signed BY the Mexican Government and Judge Conklns
and Is now on its way to Washington, by way of New
time win show.
Mr. sloo, the contractor, appears to have some Diff
cultes with his copartners the OF which has
not exactly been ascertained but it opears that the
privilege pledged to mercantile firm, on account
OF advances without the agreement of said partners
SO far the low tariff cannot be said have been of
much good but of the time has TOO short to
find out what may be the probable effects although mer
chants unanimously Of opioon that it viii save the
country by keeping the treasury well filed, and enable
the TO stop the smuggling trade and at the
same time make such arrangements will tend to
stability, thing hitherto unknown in Mexico,
1t is true that the principal article, which was as
now, although paying three cents instead of ten cents
eSacted before but this exactly proves to what exteut
must have been less than three cents vara There is
ne doubt that shortly say six months those stocks will
be consumed and then doubt prices will rise in such
manner as to turn out to good account, giving suf
cent to the of the country at
the same time. =
The Avon carried So 500 900; and all the exports of
Mexico to England as well the principal imports from
there, would be carried by steamers Now York only
proper line of steamers wer established between this
port and Vera Cruz connect nth one Of the principal
Liverpool lines, and by such arrangement also nearly
all the and the greatest part Of the cores
ponaence might be secured as nobody is satisfied with
the English line.
would worth while for American capitalists to give
q serious thought 10 this trnnsaction.
Exports are at high prcos in Mexico and will be so for
some time to come.
Cochneal is worth 325 per 25 lbs and the next crop
will be short one. Indigo is readily sold at from Sx
reals per lb md the bales mixed of many quail
ties, losses must to the shippers Goat
skins worth S reals fair being in the hauds of
few hLcers Of vanilla beans is ascertained
beyond sny doubt that the present crop amounts only to
about one half Of last years. for which, therefore, has
been paid $50 cent higher than the former $50 for
thousand beans being asked now and at this price
very few lots are to be had.
Considering the high prices and the very Aatterin
prospects in France is to be supposed that ship
nents will be made to this country and if any should b.
effected that they viii be limited at high prices and if
such be not Obanable to be France where
GOOD quality sold of frames with nrnha hIi.
y OF further advance the Of the short
crop confirmed
Il is not the season now for jaap which probably may
fetch $38 $40 per quintal Yours x
