LATE AND INTERESTING FROM MEXICO
THE EMPIRE PROCLAIMED


We have received the n. o. Picayune ofthe 18th
containing news from Mexico by the steamer Texas
TO the 9Th inst We have heretofore given a tele
graphic outline ofthe intelligence by this arrival
but the details are intensely interesting.
Lctters from Matzaan TO the 22d ult, state that
the expedition under Walker, which landed at La
Paz on the 4th, held possession of the place four
days, during which time they respected both per.
sons and property and paid for every thing they
received On retiring to their vessel few shots
we're fred upon them, but no damage was done.
It is supposed they proceeded up the guilt with the
intention of cffectiny refuge opposite Guayamas
until the arrival ofreiniorcements from Upper Cali
fornia The expedition numbered IS men, ''inclu-
ding the cook"
Great importance has been attached to this at
tempted invasion OF the Republic with the view il
is said of influencing the negotiations pending be-
tween Mexico and the United States. In this bluf-
ter the British Minister, MIR. Doyle, has played a
conspicuous part, for the purpose of embarrassing
the actions OF Gen. Gadsden. Immediately the
receipt of the Intelligence he placed the English
war steamer Driver at the disposal ofSanta Anna,
with directions TO seze any vessel in the least de-
gree Suspicious. For this interference and for
other olficious intermeddiing, rumor says Gen
GadRdon had given him some severe whalks over
theknuckies.
II is stated that the Caroline owned in the port
otGuayamas by citizens OF the republic and was, al
the time of the pture Of La Paz, under Mexican
coIors The Government of Santa Anna is aware
that money was furnished the expediiunists from
Mexican pockets. The celebrated Count Raousset
de Boulbon was supposed to be the prime mover Of
tho whole affair This is the mBu upon whom
Sauts Anna recently conferred commission for
the defence ofthe frontier Of Durango.
Itis now generally known that our Minister, Gen
Gadsden, has made certain propositions Il, Mexico,
touching the acquisition OF the Mesila territory,
the adjustment OF private claims, and enforce
ment OF the Garay grant For this purpose three
commissioners had been appointed on The 9Th inst.
to meet him; but such Is the absorbing Iature OF
the embryo empire that some time may elapee be-
fore anything definite is concluded upon. In the
meantime however ii is said that the British Minis
ter has set Emselfto work 10 con1plicate matters
in the hope that through his Interference they may
be paced beyond the reach OF peaceful disentaDglc-
m6nt.
Ii il now balieyed that Gen. Gadsden viii insist
upon full and equiyocal Increment olthe Garoy
Grant, together with the sale Of the frontier upon
reasonable terms. Gen. Gadsden is regarded in

The Mexican press are silent upon political sub
iects save what relates to the gloIies Of Santa An
