From Mexico.

By the steamship Texas, which arrived on Saturt

the mail from the city Of Mexico had not arrived in
consequence Of troubles in the interior
This unfortunate country is again plunged into all
the horrors Of revolution and civil Haro Ia
mariz Guitan, Wraga and Castilon have united their
factions and made war upon the present Government.
They propose, it is said, to form new government
of which Haro Tamariz is to be the head. AT last
accounts their forces had invested Pneba and troops
had been sent by the Government from the City of
Mexico to aid in the defence. The country was in
very unsettled condition, much SO, that bands of
robbers and thieves pursued their occupations
ested.
El Veraczusiano, of the 2lst states that the last
diligence which left Orizaba, was attacked by ten
highwaymen near San Augustn. A passenger inds-
creetly fired upon and wounded one of the robbers.
The others Immediately returned the fire, killing two
and wounding all the others. The passengers were
then despoled of their money, etc, and permitted
to go.
Occurrences of this sort are now frequent in all
parts of Mexico.
The operations of the insurgents Gf they may be
called SOY, have been checked at Tepin. The move

were arrested. "a. r" -. aw ~ I, '#

REoALL OF Mr.. CRAMrToN-The Washington cor
respondents are unusually unanimous in giving Gre
dence and circulation to rumor that the President
has decided to recall MIR. Buchanan, and suspend
diplomatic intercourse with England until that cOun-
try shall signify its intention to act with more justice
and fairness towards us. The recall Of Mr. Buchanan
will necessarily involve the dismissal Of Mr. Crampton
1t seems hardly possible that SO important q step
would be allowed to escape from the privacy Of the
Cabinet but the earnest assurances with which it is
made, must obtain for it general belief The neces-
sy for this decisive measure is alleged to exist in the
fact that Great Britain has refused all further expa
nation in compliance with our demands for redress
and satisfaction 1t is to be regretted that the unor
ganzed condition Of the House prevents the President
from fully communicating the subject to Congress,
and placing upon it just share of responsibility in a
matter of so much importance. [Balt. Advertiser.

California letter speaking of the extrayagant spirit
that prevails every where in that State says:
Apples (of large size, to be sure,l were offered at

there are many persons ndiscreet enough to purchase
and eat them even at this rate this taste continues,
who will say that the orchards Of Oregon Shall not
come to be as valuable as the gold mines Of Cali
