LATER FROM MEXICO.

By the arrival of the steamship Austin we have
received the following news from Mexico:
Miramon had left the greatest part of his army
under General Wool, at Gaudalajara, and with
500 men gathering recruits with the design of
advancing on San Luis Potosi, which is at present
held BY the Liberals. .I.--
The Liberal army remain stationary at Coculu,
awaiting reinforcements. General Wool holds
Gaudalaiara with a force of 1900.
The revolution in the States of Coahuia and
NueVa Leon is losing ground. The revolutionary
forces advanced to within six leagues of Monterey,
but not meeting with cooperation from the people
Gen. Assambess withdrew to the mountains.
A rumor is current and generally believed, that
the British Minister had interferred between Mira
mon and JuareZ, and requires that they should
compromise and submit to election of President by
the people. The proposition is regarded with IA
vor in Tamaulipas, as the best settlement that can
be made.
So much of the above as refers to the movements
OF Miramon, would seem to be Of a date anterior
to his defeat by ogazon. Since then Guadalajara
has fallen into the hands of the Liberals, and Mira
mon has lost nearly his entire armv
The reported Intervention of the British Minister
also probably refers to the renewed attempt of
which we have likewise had accounts via Vera
Cruz. H-I.,
SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO
The Tampico Prisma of the 18TH announcing
the arrival OF Miramon at the city of Mexico, after
his rout near Guadalajara, adds the following the
substance OF latest letters from the capitals .-
1t would appear that the capital stood in fear Of
some new movement on the part of the Liberals
The ails full of political prisoners; new places
OF confinement, indeed, have had to be erected.
Already several converts have been converted into
prisons. The agitation in political circles is very
great. Commercial houses begin to totter to their
fall. The rich are alarmed. The levy of new
loan is feared. The clergy are half Brighten
ed. in word, the situation of Mexico daily grows
worse. The fall of the great banking house of
Jecker, Bermegillo Tore has brought a multi
tude Of families to want and this hard. pressed re-
,,lt alx ho fhair a
OF the houses which continue to sustain it.
Of the reception of Miramon at the capital we
have no accounts. Indeed, the latest news only
announce his arrival, almost solitary and alone.
SAVING LIFE AT SEA.-The New York Courie,
says that vessels picking up shpwrecked sailor.
have often to put back, and thus lose a voyage. II
says:
zone firm in Boston have had to paw at leas
thirty thousand dollars in FIVE years in consequence
of their vessels rescuing shpwrecked sailors The
return of one vessel, the Trinity, in consequence
having rescued the crew of the White Cloud
Capt. Ray, from this city for Cadiz, will cost them
ten thousand dollars Indeed it is limited that yer
often signals of distress at sea are unheeded fol
this very reason, and that some captains are par
tcularly careful that vessels are not spoken, fol
fear their services may be required and their earn
ing swallowed up by their humanity"
The Courier's idea is, that the Federal Govern
ment should incur such cost
"a Government, which justly contends that the
nag covers the ship, and which, in vindication o.
lnat principle, has not hesitated to incur the ex
pehse Vi war; ought not to be so mean as to refuse
making provisions for saving the lives of our fal
low-cinzens. Should Congress see ct to grant di.
eea aid VIII remove an almost intolerable burden
from the shoulders least calculated to bear H. and
would be at least aiding the cause Of humanity ~
