ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP oRIzABA.
The United States steamship Orizaba, Capt
Forbes, arrived yesterday afternoon from Vera
Cruz, bringing dates from that city to the 21st,
and from the City of Mexico to the 18th.
The Orizaba reports the American schooner
Libby, from New York, in port discharging
cargo. ~5. a.s,..5 @,
There is not much news of interest in the pa
pers by this arrival Information of the inya-
sion Of the State of Coahuila, by Capt Gala
hams command had been conveyed to President
Alvarez in letter written by Vidaurri from
Monterey. He places the number Of the inya-
ders at 800, and states that it was rumored
another force of 400 had crossed the Rio Grande
somewhere in that region. Senior Vidaurri
states that he is ignorant of the motives of this
invasion, but that it was probably for the pur-
pose of reelaiming runaway negroes, or punish
ing the. Lipan Indians, who have, he admits,
while living in peace with the Mexicans, been
accused of committing murders in Texas. In
order that this violation of Mexican territory
might not pass with impunity, Vidaurri had
dispatched five companies of infantry and two of
horse, with four pieces Of artillery, including a
howitzer, to act in concert with the troops Of
that section in repel]ing the aggression; and he
very serious he shall himself proceed to the
theater of difficulties. The military works at
Matsmoras and Tampico were suspended, and
troops were being concentrated from all the
Northern departments in short, every prepara-
ton was made to meet an immediate avalanche
of the sc Northern barbarians'' ~.... .z..M.
The papers are filled with DEGREES and other
of the new government
A new periodical of large size, Ell Pensa-
miento .Nacional, has commenced publication
in the city of Mexico.
Troops had been sent from the capital to
assist Vidaurri against the invaders, notwith-
standing the fact that many complaints had
been received from the north against the course
pursued by this chief On the 10th inst news
reached the City Of Mexico that be had entered
Saltillo with portion Of his forces and arrested
the principal functionaries of the town. The
motive for this step we do not find stated An
official letter from Saltillo, dated September II,
informs the Government that the people of the
department of Coahuila concur in the plan oi
Ayutla, but that public sentiment has been re-
pressed and oyerawed by the movements Of
Vidaurri, who, in direct opposition to the spirit
of said plan, had established military occupa-
ton of the State and its capital, thus over
throwing its sovereignty and liberty. El Siglo,
Of the latest date received, speaks in doubtful
terms of the condition of affairs in Coahuila,
and counsels the utmost prudence and caution
on the part of the Government to avoid new
dangers and mfsfortunes.
Senores Comonfort, Haro and Doblado, who
had come to an understanding at Lagos and
united upon the plan of Ayutla, had addressed
Vidaurri upon the subjects but he had evaded
direct reply, saying, that if the adoption Of
the plan of Ayutla could establish good, firm
and just government, he would be the first to
support it, and with him the whole northern
frontier. rumor was current that the troop.
