LATE FROM MEXICO

Our telegraphic dispatches yesterday, contained
news Of the arrival of the Tsras at New Orleans,
from Vera Cruz. The New Orleans papers bring
fuller accounts from which we extract the follow
ing:
The cheffeature of the Intelligent brought by the
Texas Is in relation to the acceptance Of the act of
Guadaajara by Santa Anna. On the 10Th he issued
his proclamation to this effect The terms of it aIe
that he will continue invested with his present pow
ers as long as he shall judge necessary that he shall
have power to elect his successor and that the Pres
dent shall in future bear the title of Most Serene
Highness. On the following day he issued a long
address in which he depicts in characteristic terms
the depiOrabe state Of the country when he was re-
called to resume the supreme power. and the exer-
lions he has made TO ameliOrateit. Hedecares that
he has accepted the act of Guadaajara only because
he sees 1t desired by the wealth and influence of the
whole Republic and because he belierzs il necessary
for the preservation and improvement of the coun-
try. de expresses war!n gratitude for the honor
which the nation t-s conferred upon him, and a res
olution TO bring back to the Republic the DAYS of
real ar substantial happiness.
The Mexican papers pretend to give specific in
tellgence Of the movements making against their
territories on the Pacific. As sample ofhow much
they know of them, one OF the papers magnifes the
force under Col. WALKER into large army, compris-
ing men, money and ships 4 correspondent of the
n. o. Delta says:
The enterprisng Mexican press do not seem obe
able to find out what the fibusters on the Pacific
coast up TO. They are as much in the dark over
yonder youare in New Orleans, with respect to an
attempt upon the integrity Of their country
A correspondent of the Picay,ps speaking of the
negotiations in progress between our Minister and
Santa Anna's government, complains that the former
has been embarrassed by the Mexican ministry get
ting peep into his "hand'-or i'll other words, by
their getting, through the aid of parties this coun
try all his private instructions from Washington,
about as soon as he gets them himself. The CORES
pondent says:
The New York Herald published the instructions
given TO our Minister when he left Washington
After arriving here pains taken to impress upon
him that this government bad the means of know
ing the contents of all correspondence in the State
Department. Gen. G.. could not believe this posi-
BILE but recently special bearer of dispatches ar
rived and before ne could reach the CAPITOL the sub
stance of his dispatches was forwarded from Vera
Cruz Immediately the arrival of the Texas by the
express mail and was in the hands of the Minister
of Foreign Relations within "a hours.
The Americans are now convinced of the truth of
these representations.
The Mexican government, therefore knowing the
policy and wishes of our Cabinet, appoint commits
sion to hear from our Government that which they
know already. When these propositions are made
in public and official form it remains for the Mexi-
can cabinet say whether they viii treat and take
the money or publish the offer as an insult and gon
for the glory ofhayng refused entertain such base
oyertures.
You have above the exact state of the case, and /
can form an opinion las is an opinion l cannot /
help you further, l cannot even guess the re- /
suit.
MINERALS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-The miner |
illogical portion Of the Crystal Palace is attracting
much attention. The Journal of Commerce says
''New Hampshire is the only State that furnishes |
tin. Cobalt or IS and bsmuth are exhibited from |
Connecticut, and cobalt from Maryland chrome |
from Pennsylvania and Maryland and the new
mineral called emerald Nickel, from Lancaster, Pa.
The extensive use of Nickel in the manufacture of /
German silver, gives interest to every discovery of
it. All parts of the Union furnish iron but Penn
sylvania excels in the number and variety of spec-
mems. North Carolina furnishes handsome specl-
mems of phosphate carbonate and sup hurate of !
lead. There are silver ores from South America,
Mexico, and Europe; but none from the United
States, except in connection with lead. California
is the only State which sends an ore of quick
silver.
