PRICE TWO CENTS
FROM MEXICO.

From the New orleans Picayp,ne, 2sm.
By the arrival of the schooner Star, Captain
Cannon, from Vera Cruz, we have later news from
Vera Cruz and the capital of Mexico. The advi-
to the lst instant from the City of Mexico.
Our papers from Vera Cruz are four days later
than had been previously received. Weareo obliged
to DR.. Billings for prompt and acceptable courtesles
on his arrival in this city. Dr. Billings held n
commission surgeon in the Liberal army in
Mexico, under General COmOnfort. He brought
dispatches from Mr.. Forsyth to our Government;
he had slSo dispatches from the leaders of the Lib
eral party to Comonfort He represented the Liberal
cause rapidly gaining the ascendency, and
expressed the opinion that, ere this, decisive
battle had taken place between the two parties.-
Dr. Billings principal object in coming to this cOun
try is to purchase Minnie rifles for the Liberal army
for which purpose he was well supplied with funds.
The British Minister in Mexico acted in concert
with Mr.. Forsyth in resisting the payment by for
eigners of the forced loan. The French Minister
had recalled, foradvisng his countrymen to
ply. The Doctor says that the Americans are much
thought of by the Liberal party, and occupy high
stations of trust. That party generally favors an
American protectorate, though opposed to annexa-
ton. They frequently contrast the security which
they enjoyed Of life and property during the war,
when Gen. Scott, with the American army, held
possession of the government, to the robberies and
murders daily committed by their different
chlettans who may happen to hes othe ascendency.
The Doctor is of opinion th3e y5aDtd will soon be
ceded to the United States, for a consideration.

The success of the Liberals in all parts save the
capital and its environs, and there they but wait
opportunity, is subject of daily discourse in al
most every city or town. Still, inactivity may

several officers (poor men with bandaged heads)

JuareZ Is honest, Zamora enthusiastic, Echeaga-

Liberals whom he so lately most dastardly betrayed
and deserted.
The hospitals are still pretty full Out of 500
