Important from Mexico.

New ORLEANS, March 15-An arrival from
Acapulco on the 9th plt., places us in the
receipt of the following important intelIi-
gence regarding the state of Mexico.
General Alvarez had ordered Gen. Wheat
to Vera Cruz, to command the foreign forces
at that point.
Carvajal, with 1000 men, cut off 1000 of
Miramon's troops, intercepting all commuui
cation with the capital.
Miramon was also shert of provisions, and
was depending solely on the Havana expr-
dition for supplies.
AlVarado had been bockaded by the Lib
erals.
Since Minister McLane left, the British,
French and Spanish Ministers have been en-
deavoring to effect 81 compromise between
Juarez and Miramon. An armistiee of six
months has been proposed.
1t is stated that the American influence
has been on the decline since McIane's de-
parture.
The commander of the Juarez army had
demanded Of Miramon not to interfere with
the Americans.

Mexican Affairs.

No doubt whatever is entertained that
Miramon will attack Vera Cruz on land, ex-
pecting corresponding assault on the sea
from the vessels of war sent him from Hava-
ma by SAINT Anna. He can never succeed in
reducing the place without the aid of shells
from ships, that being the most effective means
used by Gen. Scott. French and Englis h
ships of war will undoubtedly be stationed at
Vera Cruz, to protect generally their ma
tional honor in persons and property; but il
is asserted that according to Mr.. McLane's
instructions, he will authorize the U. States
squadron to prevent the vessels said to have
been forwarded by Santa Anna interfering
against the Juarez government, now fortified
at Vera Cruz. This interference on the part
of the United States may raise question
between authorities of the United States and
the other great Powers represented before
We're Cruz, which will result in serious
difficulty.

But if the French army guaranteed ltsly
from foreign interference, he has a rioht To

therefore, declared to the King of Sardinia
that although leaving to him entire liberty
OF action, he cannot follow him in a policy
which, in the eyes of Europe, appeared to-
interest the absorption of the States Of Italy
and which threatened new complications.
He has advised Sardinia to reply fayora
bly, to the wishes of the provinces which
offer themselves to him, but to maintain the
autocracy of Tuscany and to respect the
principle of the rights of the Holy See,
This course will preserve principles and
calm apprehensions, and will raise Sardinia
into State peopled by more than niue mil
lions of souls.

The Forrest Divorce Case.

A decision in the Forrest divorce case was
delivered on Wednesday last by Judge Mon
Grief, in the Supreme Court of New York.
The report of the referee was confirmed,
granting $4,000 alimony per annum to Mrs.
Forrest, (now Mrs. Sinclair from the date
OF trial, and also allowing the motion for a
final Judgment in conformity Herewith.
But, it isjust possibly that Mr.. Forrest may
further keep the lady out of her legal inner
itance. In fact there would seem to be no
stopping place in litigation, in this remark
able case.

then moved to take oil the Injunction of Sc

be known, and it was carried. A motion
was then made to reconsider the motion re.
moving the injunction of secresy, pending
which the Senate adjourned. The treaty
Its rejection will reopen the Central Ameri-
can imbrogha, which was in fair way Of
speedy and satisfactory adjustment.
The necessity for the ratification was
warmly urged while the opposition to it
was equally as ardent. The subject Of I'LL
busters was alluded to in the debate, and
even remote encouragement to them sternly
condemned. Ii, said Senator, mere ad-

themselves the "duties' of Mormonism, by
undergoing process of immersion, publicly.
They have an elder, and al the officials

PERILoUs PosITIoN-SusPENsleN OVER A
BLAsr.-Near Dubuque, Iowa, last week, q
shaft was being blasted through rock thir-
ty feet deep. A man named Norton was en-.
gagged in drilling while a companion attend.
ed to the windlass and drew him up when
the signal was given. The Herald says:
Having finished drill, loaded it, and get
ting ready preparatory to firing the fuse, M r.
Norton commenced picking up his to OILS, in
foot struck the candle, upsetting it exactly
on the fuse, and in second it had caught
and was fixing down towards the powder.
Mr.. Norton Immediately commenced calling
on the man above to pull him up. The lat
ter was at some little distance from the shaft
and did not hear the cry; but, fortunately,
happening to look in that direction, he saw
the rope shaking, and thinking that he
might be wanted, he FASTENED up. In the
next instant he became aware what was
wanted, and Immediately commenced haul.
ing up the other. The situation of the latter
was anything but pleasant-suffcient time
seemed to his imagination to have elapsed
for the fuse to burn the powder, and be mo-
mentarily expected to be blown out of the
shaft.
The man at the winlass made superhumau
efforts, and had hauled the other within
some ten feet of the mouth, when the handle
of the windlasss broke! Fortunately, Mr..
Norton caught a foOthold on the projecting
shelf, and thereby saved himself from falling
to the bottom. But the position was any
thing but desirable, as he was in no way pro
tected from the effects of the explosion.
while it was only by superhuman efforts that
he kept himself from falling from the narrow
standing place. There was no way to get
out, and he was sure to be riddled with the
shower Ofrocks that would rise from below,
Thus he stood, momentarily expecting that
terrible death would meet him-stood thus
in an agony which must be imagined, as it
is toe strong for description. How long the
time was he did not know, but it seemed
ages rather than seconds, until sufficient
time had elapsed to introduce the hope that
the blast would not explode. This proved
eventually to be the case, although he pro-
badly suffered a dozen deaths before the
fact became apparent. 1t almost seems mir
aculous that it did not; but such most for
tunately proved to be the case, and Mr.. Nor.
ton escaped death almost too horrible to
think OF.

A COUNTS HEAD IN DANGER.-Count Won
Lughn, the Dutch Minister to Constantine
Pile, came very near having his head cleft in
the streets of Pera, short time since, for
approaching too near the carriages of the
Seraglio, which contained several back-eyed
beauties. The euneh in charge of the eaui-
pages and their fair freight, leveled blow
with its sabre at the Dukes bead, which
would have fonnd its way to the brains, had
he not warded it off with his cane. The
black was roughly handled by the bystand-
ers,
