THE AFFAIRS OF nENgtO.
The Tennessee, At New Orleans, briggs d.ies from
Vera Cruz 10 tie 22d and from McKee, to the 18th
ul;imo. TIE City of Yer, Cruz sppears 70 have
been greatly excited bya report which prevailed
previous to the arrival of the Tennessee her las.
trip out that she would bring with her from New
Orleans body of American 6Ilibustors, ysrioasg
reported at from five huudIed to one thousand, to
ss,st in the defence of the city against tho threat
eued attsck Of Mirsmon. How this report originated
does not appear, bat it would seem that Mr SJuis
who arrived the preceding trip Of the Tennessee
was regarded as the foreruoner Of this fbuster
force. Not only did this report produce great
excitement among the people of Vera Cruz. part
of whom, in their present dangerous position,
looked to American assistance with satisfaction; it

and English Ministers at Mexico sent woCd to their
respective commanders not TO alloy any such land

Mexico on the l4th of February, and no himself
followed the next day. This was III, latest news
from that city, the mail which ought to have
arrived Just previous to the sailing of the Tennessee
having failed. Probably, it was stopped BY Mira
mon, who was reported to be at Puebls which
he was to leave on the Goth. Before marching
from Mexico be levied forced loan or extraordi-
nary contribution of one per cent on capital. His
forces are vsriOusy reported at from 600 to 5000
men. At Vera Cruz, in spite OF an Affected belief
that he would reach there, If he did, that
his army would soon be disabled by the yellow
fever, the alarm appears to be very great. The
French and English merchants would seem not to
be well satisfied with the recent proceedings OF the
French and English ships, especially the raising Of
the tariff, and many Of them, it is said, propose to
put themselves under the protection of the Amer-
can flag; yet it appears TO be expected that ia case
there should be any occasion for il, tho French and
English ahps would land a force to protect tho
persons and property of their citizens. What tho
precise relation Of these fleets is to the Government
Of Mirsmop, does not appear, though spPrehen-
sons seemed to be entertained that they may inter-
fere actively in his behalf, at least 50 far a. TO
intercept any means which might be sent By sea
from Taba'co Tsmpco, and Campeschy.
Meanwhile, the projected reestaolishment Of tho
Constitutional Government, by march from tho
North upon Mexico, seems to be entirely a'aa-
doned, and the considerable armies lately at mo
