And now, having vndicated Mr.. Buchanan,
we claim to have vindicated the Mercury from
those silly and hasty imputations upon its con.
sistency which followed, in certain quarters, its
approval of the nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan
The calm review and discussion of his political
career which we have given, has served, at
each STEP to confirm our judgment, while it
could not have failed to win, from candid
minds, recognition Of the propriety Of our
course. In conclusion, we can assure those
who were disposed to carp at and question our
policy, that it is not our habit to take positions
without full and thorough investigation of the
facts and principles involved. Our vndication
of Mr.. Buchanan has, we trust, proven to be
case in point.

New ORLEANS, July 20th.-The steamship
Texas, Capt. Forbes, arrived at the above port
on the 10th instant with advices from Vera
Cruz to the 22d, and from the city of Mexico to
the 10Th, being two weeks later. The oppo.
nents to Comenfort's government at Puebla
had attempted revolution, but their plans be.
ing discovered they we're frustrated, and a mum
Der of the offenders arrested. The opinion
seemed to be pretty general that the clergy
we're at the bottom Of the scheme, as their ha-

quence Of its action in reference to the con6s.
cation and sale Of their estates, had become
intense.
With the exception Of this attempted out
break the country was comparatively quiet.
1t is reported, however, that difficulties have
arisen in the cabinet, and that some changes
therein would soon be effected.
A difficulty with the minister from France
had also been announced, but Of its precise ma
ture our despatch is somewhat obscure.
Further subscriptions have been obtained
towards the construction Of railroad across
the Tshauntepec. Its final success is daily be-
coming more encouraging.
Papers received by the Texas announce
semi officially, that the matters in dispute be
tween Mexico and Spain have been arranged
and that no further trouble is apprehended
