From Mexico.

The steamer Texas brings to New Orleans,
Vera Cruz, dates to the 1lth inst. She brought
also $40, SIT in specie to New Orleans merchants
She also brings dates from the city of Mexico
to the 9th. Communication was greatly inteis
rupted such being the disorder and lawlessness of
the country.
A letter from Mexico, dated the 5th, says:
Here we are without any correspondence from
Puebla, and with but very little from Vera Cruz
The state of affairs is, in my opinion, the worst
that has yet been experienced in this unfortunate
country. The revolution under Uraga is quelled,
but that under Haro still exists. although it ought
to have been extinguished before this The fort-
fcation of the capital is still continued, and large
forces are being prepared for active service. A
large portion Of the latter have already left fer
Puebla under the command of Gen. Villareal.-
This officer is worthy of all confidence but it is
not at all impossible that his troops may do as 9TH
ers have-go over to the revolutionists." -e
PuebIa is in state of siege. The revolutionists
are in possession of the city under the command
of Haro Tamafiz, who is exercising the most ar
bitrary military discipline over the citizens.
A new ordinance for the regulation of customs
has been decreed. Among the improvements it
effects, the abolition of passports and kindred
semibarbarous annoyances, and the facilitating OF
the entering and clearing Of vessels.
