LATE FROM MExIco.-The New Orleans
papers furnish intelligence from Vera Cruz
to the 10th instant, brought by the United
States steamer PocahOntas, which also
brought dispatches for Senior Malta, the Min
lister Resident in Washington of the Juarez
Administration of Mexico. These despatch
es, it is said, confer upon the Minister full
power to make all such changes i'll the Nc
Lane treaty as shall render il acceptable to
the Senate. The time within which the
treaty shall be ratified is extended to two
months.
The New Orleans Courier says that the
Vera Cruz garrison were divided into two
factions.
Upon receiving news in the city of Mexi-
CO of the recent victory OF the Constltutonal-
list leader Gen. lraga, over Gen. La. ' ega,
near San Luis Potosi, Gen. Miramon rapidly
concentrated all his available forces and left
the capital on the 10th To meet the advance
Of Gen. Uraga. Miramou's forces numbered
about 5 900 of all arms, while Uraga's COM
mand amounted to 5000 men, and was said
to he we'll supplied with artillery, an arm in
which Miramon is though to be rather weak.
The battle which was expected to ensue
"Ould IL WAS suppoScu, nave d ucClu0u CHee'
upon the future of Mexico.
The New Orleans Courier publishes an ex-
tract of IL private letter from highly res
pectabe house in Mexico, to one OF our most
prominent merchants" which says:
GENERAL attention is now directed towards
the United States. We understand the cap
tured vessels of Marin have been ordered by
your Government to be returned. This we
doubt. 1t is also reported the American
Government is prepared to join Eng land in Il
mediation IN this country; II 50, 1t Is time
lost. and nothing will ever come out ri it.
The only hope we have is that the United
States " i'll accept the McLane treaty, and 10
back the same, send 10000 good men to AS
Sisi the Liberals If something is not done,
we may all in short time close our stores, as
we are now subjected to continual CON
tributions upon them, our rents, servants,
etc. etc"
Gen. Miramon had levied another forced
loan ut Mexico. lie has issued Il decree
raising the export duty on goods passing
through Jalapa from ten to forty per cent.
Ex-President Zuloaga had been taken prison
er by MiramOn. 1t is said that the former
had pronounced" against Miramon at the
instance Of the more ultra Church party, and
attempted To seize upon the Presidency, but
what he was Intercepted rs a spy and brought
t. the capital. whence he departed with Mir
mon on the 10th, the General being afraid
to leave him in the capital during his abb
sence from it,

come to Washington and see what could be
done with our highly gifted and valued
friend, Colonel Forney."
Mr.. Webster Immediately went to Wash
ington, and there met the Attorney General,
who proposed to give Colonel Forney the
printing of the Post Office blanks if he would
support the Lecompton policy of the Admin
istration. Mr.. Webster, who is Il very
Sagacious and prudent lawyer, inquired how
much the interest in the printing would
amount to. The Attorney General replied
that Mr.. Forney should have all of the profits,
which were estimated at eighty thousand dol
lars during Mr.. Buchanan's term.
Immediately after this interview, Mr..
Webster telegraphed Mr.. Forney to meet him
at the cars in Philadelphia, which he did,
and they, in company with Henry 5. Nc
