VERY LATE FROM VERA CRUZ, ARRIVAL of the WATER WITCH. | Troops against Texas. ANOTHER REVOLUTION. We have been favored with a Mobile Herald § the previous day. Itcontains the following letter with the latest news from Mexico, received by the schr. Water Witch :— We hasten to lay before the readers of the Tropic the latest news from Mexico. The Water Witch, Captain is, left Vera Cruz onthe oth inst., and arrived here ind 6 o’clock this morning. It seems that af- sconading despatches of the Mexican Minis. ter, a declaration of war is now very doubtful. Our prompt and intelligent correspondent tells the whole story. Vera Cruz, Aug. 4, 1845. Dear Sirs—I last had this pleasure, per Relampago, which left here on the 28d ult.; no arrivals have since taken place from your port. ‘The election of anew President commenced on the Ist inst., for which there are four candidates—say, Gen. Herrera, President ad interim, Gen, Almonte, ex-Mexi- can Minister at Washington, Gomez Farias, and one oth- er, whose name has escaped my memory. The Presiden: oy, however; seems to lay between the two former, one af whom, it is supposed, will be the successful candi- date. Almonte has offered his services to the government in the approaching campaign against Texas ; but | rather think it is more a ruse de guerre to help him to the Presi- dency, than any great desire he has got to have a brush with the Texans—orasI ought rather to say now, the United States I. B. M. brig of war Persian arrived here on 27th ult., in seven days from Galveston, bringing the news of the annexation of Texas being confirmed by President Jones and also that a body of United States troops, say about 4000 men, were expected at Galveston in the courss of a few days. It appears now that our government is in no hurry to declare war against the United States, or, at any rate, it seems to be the general opinion that she will merely at- tempt to re-conquer Texas, without making any deciara- tion of war. Of course the news by the Parsian caused a great excitement throughout the country. The Min- istry has presented an act to the two Chambers for their deliberation. lst. To declare war against the United States. 2d. Authorising them to raise a foreign or national Joan to the amount of 15 millions of dollars, which they consider to be requisite to carry on a war and reconquer ‘exas. The proposals are now under discussion in the cham- bers, and if they get the “I’argent” there is no doubt they will make the attempt to again get possession, though it is doubtful whether they will declare war against the United States or not. Of course you have heard, ere this, of the revolution at Tobasco, in favor of Federalism, which has induced Government to declare said port closed to foreign as well as native shipping, but is rather puzzled to find out how they will keep out the former, as they have not got asingle steamer that they can get ready in less than eighteen or twenty days, all the engineers being still, as I may say, loafing on shore and waiting for their pay, of which, for some months past, they have received but a mere trifle. The tariff question is still under discussion, or rather has been referred toa committee, but if they pro they generally do, God knows when we. shall ight of the long e: ritghor document—and in the meantime the country will losea groat deal, as mer- chants do not like to ship with so much uncertainty. J nave nothing further of interest to inform you of at present, and beg to subscribe myself, gentlemen, very respectiully, yours. Ava.6.—The Water Witch not sailing yesterday, I open to say that have no news from the American Squadron, but it is thought here that it will soon appear. It is said that the troops now on the road to Texas, amount to 10,000 men. Yours, &e. From Vena Cruz—By private letters reccived yes- terday morning, we learned the arrival at Pensacola on the 1ith inst. of the French brig of war Le Mercure, from Vera Cruz. She sailed from the IREee pots on the 27th day of July—three days after the Relampago. She appears to have brought neither letters nor pa- pets, but we learn verbally that Mexico’ had neither leclared war against the United States nor adopted any nonintercourse measure in regard to Ame- rican commerce. It is not known in this city, however, whether any advices had been received at Vera Cruz e 19th ult., from the city of Mexico, to which date the Relampago brought us news. The A: in Vera Cruz were leaving, and preparing to lea fast as possible, and this is thought to account sati rily for the detention of the Water Witch, about which so much anxiety has been expressed. Residents in the interior of Mexico from the United States were all flock- ing to Vera Cruz, in orderto embark for home. ‘This is the only intelligence which we have been able to glean by the arrival of Le Mercure. ‘Tur Guiry Squapnon.—The U. 8. brig of war Porpoise d at Pensacola on the afternoon of the 11th instant, from Norfolk, and exchanged salutes with the commo- dore in command of the yard. ‘The steamship Princeton was hourly expected at the same port. ‘The Alabama arrived last evening from Pensacola, but could learn nothing from her as to the repairs re- We are only informed that she The brig Somers has not yet suiled from Pensacola, al- ¢ following | though apparently all ready.—N. 0.

The following appears in the Union ot Thursday evening :— tauveston, Aug, 9, 1845, To the Editor of the Union :—We have no late intelli- ence from the convention. Rumor says that the Presi- dent has left Washington for Austin, having been invited todo so by the convention, who wish to get his con- sent to change our form of government immediately. — The manner in which it is proposed to do this, is not known. Ido not believe, myself, that President Jones will consent to any such measure. His friends here, generally, are of the same opinion. 1 have every Feason to’ believe that, Major Donelson, s0 far as he is concerned, would decidedly disapprove of such a move. 1 do not believe, however, that anything can, by possibility, be done'to defeat annexation. The people are determined upon it, and it is to be hoped that ‘no precipitate action on the part of those delegated to act for them, will throw difficulties in its way, and | am satisfied, in my own mind, that President Jones will do all in his power to carry out the expressed wishes of the people. He will do it in proper season, and in a proper way; and I have no doubt but he will, in all matters, show himself worthy of the high confidence of the peo- Major Donelson arrived here on the day before from Aransas bay, where he had been to visit @ United States troops stationed at b from exposure in s here to-day in Miurrany.—For the information of the numerous g: lant citizens who will wish to avail selves of a ointments in the army, in expectation ot Mexico, we deem it proper to state, what w: from the War Departn ent, itablishment oan in no event be previous legislation of Congre will be no such appointments to thorised by law. ‘The militia only can be called out, in aid of the regular army, as now by law established.

From the Anti-Rent Region. Devut, August 20, 1845. More Arrests—Committals—Both Sides of the Ques- tion—The Government Nowhere—Military Ardor --The Weather. Yesterday, no less than seven prisoners were marched into jail here, five in one gang, and two in another. At first, such arrivals were the signal of a strong display of outraged feelings on the part of the people of this town, but custom has brought them now to look on them as on ordinary events. I have it from one of those who know, that the outburst of violence, and very naughty language that took place here against the first prisoners, was not creditable to the discretion and forbearance of the citizens. This Tdo not mention for the purpose ot lowering them or their fair fame, but it is a ffaci, and as such must be told. But as an offset let it be recollected that their provocation was unprecedented, and calcula- ted to arouse the ire of a stoic, and it will not bea matter of surprise that therewere breathings of threat- ning and slaughter, hard names and all that, poured out in profusion against the unfortunate captives. All this is put upon record, that such an occurrence may not beppen again. ‘ A posse of fifty or sixty mounted riflemen went out yesterday, but where to is kept strictly secret. As they trotted up street they became altogether in- visible in a few moments in an immense cloud of dust, too dense itappeared to admit of respiration; how the rear files get along is a wonder to me fer two or three days of such riding together. Vast exertion is made to arrest a man namedScudder,who is believed to be the person who acted as chief of the drama,and who gave command to shoot both man and horse. There is no question but that he is one of the prime movers in it, but there is little likelihood of his arrest; he is by this time out of the State, and peyand the reach of his pursu- ers, who are spurred on by the promise of a reward of 00. His old father has been in gaol fora week but was jiberated on Monday, nothing appearing against him in relation to this agitation. Aman named Squires has been upon his examination to-day. He is one of the marked men, and well known as a conspicuous personage in the anti-rent ranks, and is under recognizances to appear at the next'criminal term, for helping to tar and feathera man called Tim Corbin, a year ago, athis own house. It appears Tim went out to make a levy for arrears of rent due by Squires, and was detained ina pleasant conversation for about an hour, when behold, a band of Indians came skelping, rank and file, over the field—led poor Tim to a spot selected for the ceremeny—mounted him on something like an old soap box, and served him out with tar and feathers, until he was sure he was not himself at all, All this was done at Squires’ house and in his presence. A week ago there were ten Indian disguises, some tomahawks and guns, and a pistol taken from the man who was tarred a year ago, found in the house of Squires, who, from all this, is in an embarrassing situation. On his examination, he is, like most of them, prevaricating and reserved; it requires a question to be repeated three or four times before h answers, and when he does, it is often in the face of the sworn testimony of others. That man Brisbane, the Scotch lecturer, is fully committed for murder, but a full statement of the charges, and list of names, will be better than separate notices.

Many of that confederation declare that they felt all the buoyancy of men battling for a good cause—forthe weak against the strong—for the oppressed against a set of nsurpers. They deny with in- dignation that the acts of the reckless should be constru- ed to their injury, and that there was any premeditation to take life or do injury to man or beast on their part.— Personal enmity, they say, had more to do in the late outrage than anything else,but this is strenuouslydenied on the part of others ; but it is utterly useless to advert to these declarations in the present state of the c If ever the whole truth comes out, it will not be by the vo- luntary confessions of the accused. Hardly any topic engages people here but the taking of prisoners, the prospect of punishing them, and the conduct ofgovernment. Farmers have not a word to say about their crops, their farms, or their families. They are Wty Sag transformed into soldiers, and think of no- thing but marches, drills, guards and rations. People are beginning to forego all prospect of government doing any thing in the matter, and the best informed are ready to deprecate its policy, as dictated by selfish and mean motives. I heard several observe that there ought to have been at least a large reward offered for the appre- hension of the guilly fugitives, Seudder especially; and that it must be the fear of faction or party, that prevents the aspiring personages, now at the nelm of State affairs, from doing their duty. ‘Such a conviction in the minds of the people here, impels them to greater effort, and to rely on themselves, and after all this is the best way of reasoning.

Unrrep States Hore, Saratoca Srrines, August 21, 1845. Fashionables and Pretenders at Saratoga—Why are you Stared at—The absence of “Dress” —Mysteri- ous Stranger—Arrivals—Schenectady and Troy Railroad, ‘We had another hop last night, in the grand sa- loon of this house, which was well attended. The fashionables are just beginning to enjoy themselves —they have awoke, at last, from their torpid, frozen state—lain aside their dignified, reserved and ridi- culous airs, and now cry nothingj but vive la baga- telle! The parvenues, however, still hold up their heads—look pugnacious—rattle their gold—make impudent speeches—talk very loud—aflect a distrait | sort of air, and look with contempt on all who have not as much brass in their faces, or gold in their pockets, as themselves. As we have before repeat- edly remarked, we certainly have a very funny set here, and assoonas you thank heaven a certain disa- greeable person or coterie is gone away, you are met by more of the same sort,who have just arrived,enter- ing the door. There are two rather curious things which must strike the eye of an observing man in Saratoga. Firstly you are looked at, gazed at, stared at more than you ever were before in all your life— but then you in turn catch the infection,and practice it as much as those around you. Every new comer is carefully inspected—the expression of his face,the cut of his coat—they even look into his hat to see it it. was made by whom. Now what does this mean? There certainly is “something in it more than natural.” Our own idea is, that the strange mixture—and singular compound—the mot- ly crowd here assembled, has rendered the adoption of some such } Praction absolutely necessary. It is a | well known doctrinefthat;,“like seeks like.” The true gentleman, therefore, scans the faces of new comers, in order to judge whether it would be suita- ble to make their acquaintance—and the jroturier does the same for the purpose of knowing where to seek for sympathy. Secondly,you will find an absence of ‘dress”—an abandonof manner among our fashionables. The gentlemen come to breakfast and dinner—enter the parlors and promenade the piazza’s in “sack”, coats, badly cut pantaloons, and without gloves. The ladies oftimes come down i in morning gowns, and most charmingly cay they look. It is only at balls, hops, in the evening that any very great pains is bestowed on the toilette. If this custom should extend much fur- ther, woe untothe Parisian milliners, dress-makers and tailors. ‘There is a very mysterious stranger among us, with a foreign air, who sports a moustache ala Henri Quatre, and excites much attention. Rumor, that faulty old lady, with her thousand tongues, sets him down as a foreign Count incog. Having embraced the cause of the injured Poles, it is said his estates were confiscated, and he was forced to fly—leaving his wife and family to the merciless protection of his enemies. And here he is seeking the Lethean waters for atroubled mind, inthe bubbling fountains of Saratoga. Among the arrivals at this house, this morning, we may mention the names of J.

Much excitement has existed here for the last few days, arising from the fact of the suspension of the half-past eleven o'clock train of railroad cars for Schenectady and Albany. This train being expressly for the benefit of passengers destined for the East and West. Those for the West leaving the cars at Schenectady, where they met with the one o’clock train from Albany—and those for Boston having connected with the Eastern train at Albany without detention.

Notwithstand ing the many accidents there seems to be a desire to compel,the fashionable community to go to Troy, for the parpose of pratifying an idle curiosity, and for the bene- it of hotel keepers who wish to get a dinner out of them.

The Brothers in Unity, a secret society, held their usual annual meeting in the upper part of the Globe building, yesterday at 4 o’clock P. M.; the Rev. Dr. Smith officiated as chairman, and the Rev. R. Gurley as Secretary. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That we shall ever regard the Society of Brothers in Unity with interest and affection,undiminish- ed by time, change, or absence.

Resolved, That this society will henceforth hold an annual meeting on commencement week, when the old members are cordially invited to meet their younger brethren. After the passing of the resolutions, old Simeon Baldwin, who fle at Yale some fifty years ago, rose to address the society. Heexhibiteda catalogue of the society as it then existed, and in the course of his remarks, stated that the library then numbered only 160 volumes; it now contains 10,000.

ALoy Wivow.—A singular disclosure has taken place in relation to the case ot Mr. Henry Bragge, whose detention in jail, on acharge of abandoning his family, was alluded to yesterday. It will be recollected that ragge was complained of by his wife for threatening to desert her and her offspring, if she did net consent to his alliance with another female, who had become deeply enamored of him, and whose wealth and charms were speciously set forth as a justification of this most extra- ordinary and revolting proposition. It appears that the “fair ladye” B 8 youn widow residing in Boston, the daughter of a highly respectable gentleman of Portland, at whose house she was sojourning when she wrote to Mr. Bragge the subjoined letter. She does not disguise either her own or her father’s knowledge in relation to her lover’s being a married man, and seems to regard that as ah exceedingly slight obstacle to the accomplish- ment of her unhallowed{purposes. Although the com- munication does not bear any signature, Mrs. Bragge, (who is stated to be an amiable, exemplary and accom: | Pereedi woman,) has made oath as to the authorship, and has prevailed upon the Police Magistrate to address let- ters to the widow and her father, advising them of the severe measures that will be resorted to, in the event of any further atte pt being made to seduce a young and hitherto respectable man from his allegiance to his do- mestic altar, The document which we now publish, as an evidence of the strange infatuation alluded to, is di- rected to Henry Z. Taylor, Brooklyn, and is post marked “Portland, Maine, August 6th.” With the exception of some names, which for obvious purposes we omit, the following is'a verbatim copy vEspay, Sth August, 184. “Dean Henny—I am now in Portland, and trying to re- concile father. He seems much more reconciled than he was when I first came home, and I intend to stay until he gives me his consent. Margaret is going to take care of the house for me, and let me stay a shorttime. Iam determined to make him consent to our union; I told him he had better give up all his prejudices at once. J then read your letter to him, and said that we had loved too long to be separated. He laughed, and said, ‘ Young girls and boys often said that.’ He saidwe should soon get over that if we were separated. My reply was, Never, never,as long as life lasts.’ He is very pleasant, and says he wants me to gets husband that no other person has claim to, so that can be happy. Last Sunday, he saw an old friend of his, and told him I was in Portland, and the gentleman came to see me ; and father made him sto] to tea. Margaret and her fellow was going to walk, an: I went with them, and told father and the gentleman to excuse me, as I should soon be back ; but as soon as we got tired of walking, I went to my sister's, and stayed till 10 o’clock. When Icame home, be had gone, and father said I had slighted him, and he was very sorry | should treat him so.

I shall write you, however, as often as possible while Mrs. **#*** js well acquainted with your 1) dmires her ; but she does not like the name of Bragge. She has heard about that poison I told you of before. The devil has tried to set all the folks aga! in that part of the world. Susan ‘***** goes too far for him to be well spoken of.’ She is much thought of as a gentleman. “ My d lenry, if the old woman will go, and you tell mi one, I am determined to go to New York —nothing shall prevent me.

A cra- sade has been commenced against all keepers of tippling houses and taverns who have not licenses, and the ma- gistrate aforesaid has avowed his determination to gi Ho quarter to any who may thus offend against the laws. Several arrests have already been made, and “ many more there are te be.” A Dense Poruatiox.—In the neighborhood of the South Ferry is a block of buildings—fourteen houses— which contain 586 souls. ‘There are seven rooms in each house which would give five persons for each room. Fourteen of the rooms were empty at the time the cens! was taken, so that actually, on aii average, there are se- ven persons to each room. ' Twenty of the rooms, how- ever, have only two tenants, which leaves an average of about nixe persons to each of the remaining sixty-five rooms. The quarrels that daily take place among the inhabitants of this block keep the police magistrates pretty busy. Bovxn ror Trxas.—A company of about one hundred marines from the Navy Yard, in this city, crossed the Fulton Ferry on Thursday afternoon, with their bag- gage, blankets, &., for Norfolk, to take ship for Texas. TRALING.—Charies Barnes was tried on a charge of petit larceny, in stealing a purse from a boy n J McQuade, who was peddling some articles near the ton Ferry; and sentence suspended. Officer Powell, who arrested Barnes, ascertained where he had sold a silver fork. Ifany one has lost such an article they can avply to Mr. P., at the police.

Cononen’s Orrice, Aug. 22.—Fatal Accident—A child , a boy, about a year old, (whose parents reside at No. 94 Clinton street,) this morning fell down a flight of stairs, and was killed. Sudden Death.-The Coroner was called this morning to hold an inquest at No. 192 Cherry street, on the body of a French Canadian, named John De Conssé, aged 38 years ; who, after returning home last night froma par. ty of pleasure, was taken suddenly ill, and immediately expired. Verdict, “Death by disease of the heart” Another.—The Coroner also held an inquest at No. 388 Broome street, on the body of John Schenck, a native of Germany, aged 40 years, who died suddenly yesterday morning. Verdict, ‘‘ Death by consumption.” Death in the Hospitel.—A female named Elizabeth Hawksworth, a native of Long Island, aged 25 years, who has for some time past led an intemperate life, and in- dul ged in free potations of opium, was conveyed to the City Hospital on Monday last, in a critical situation, in comsequence of having taken a large dose of laudanum, from the effects of which she was apparently restored, by the remedies applied by the physicians of the institution. teases how-2ver, became very much debilitated and died last night. ‘ Another Sudden Death.—A person named Samuel Fom- ster, aged about 40 years, a native of Ireland, was taken with spasms about 2 o’clock this morning, and after suf- fering the most excruciating pains fora short time, ex- pired. Verdict, “ Death imodic cholic.” Police Intelligence, AvG. 22.—Robbery at the Five Points—Quite a Haul.— An important case was broneet to ent es evenig through the instrumentality of a female, who appeared to have indulged in free potations of the ‘‘dear cratur.” ‘The female referred to, whose name is Mary Wilson, went to the pawn shop at the corner of Duane and Cen- tre streets, kept by Mr. Goodman, to redeem a common tering the fruit in all directions, a great portion of which LA at shawl which she had there in pledge, and presented a $5 bill for the purpese of discharging ache upon the same. After receiving the change, she proposed to re- deem some other articles that she had in ple it the same time presenting another $5 bill, notwithstandit she had more small change than was necessary. This circumstance, created some suspicion in the mind of Mr. Goodman, who with a view of satisfying himself more thoroughly on this point, remarked to her that she ap- peared to be very careless with her money, and asked if she had not lost some of it, how much she ought to have, &c., when she took from her bosom a roll of bi bills, which on being examined by Mr. Goodman, was found to consist of a $1,000 bill, one $10 bill and four $5 bills, in addition to the change which he had given her out of the first $5 bill that she had handed him. Without further hesitation, Mr. Goodman transterred the woman to the custody of officer Rue, of the independent Police, No. 48 Centre street, who took her to the lower police, where he interrogated her as to the manner in which the money came into her ssion. She stated, that a woman, named Jane Brown, who occupied an upper room in the house No. 14] Anthony street, rep Sh the money to her; whereupon officer Rue, after obtaining the assistance of his associate officers Relyea and Fream, proceeded to 141 Anthony street, and there arrested Jane Brownend another female named Ann Brooks, sus- pected of being concerned in robbery of a man then in their company, who was alse taken to the polic fice, where he gave his name as John Carroll, and stated that he had been for some time a school master inthe Sixth Ward. He is about 45 years of age, and presented rather a singular appearance as he hobbled along by the side of the officer, with one boot on, and the other im his hand. He had carried his conviviality rather too far to understand the nature of the circumstance which had brought him before the magistrates. He was suitably ed of until morning, when the case will be fully stigated; in the meantime, the females were also ed for examination. Nice Young Men.”—Three steamboat runners, named George W. E! Edward Guitcher, and John Curry, af- te: ‘ing their “ conviviality” toa pretty h pitch within doors, proceeded to kick up a few of their shines in the streets. ‘Their chief amusement, however, consis- ted of taking the bungs out of some casks of molasses, which they fell in with at the corner of Robinson and West streets, and then rolling the casks along the side walk. By the time that about forty or fifty gallons of the molasses had been turned out, for the benefit of the hogs, one of the third ward star police arrived at the spot and arrested the before named trio, who were this morning held to answer for the offence. Grand Larceny.—According to the statement of Thomas Dolan, the keeper of a porter house at No.7 Walnut st., afellow named Thomas Fagan came to his establish- ment and helped himself to the sum of $108, for which liberty the latter was duly provided for at the Egyptian Mansion house. sirrest_of Counterfeiters—Two men named Horatio Dean and John Huested, were last night arrested by po- licemen Gicquil and W. C. Garwood of the fourth ward, charged with having passed to Nathan Clark of No. 212 Water street, a count two dollar bill, also a coun- terfeit Mexican dollar in payment for liquor.

Assauit with a Pistol.—Charles Welch was arrested yesterday by policeman Watts, on a charge of threaten- ing to ao ‘a female named Hannah Slocum,with a load- ed pistel. ‘Sireet Walkers Look Out. About a dozen females who are in the habit of blocking certain thoroughfares, and king use of improper language, were arrested last ni ws by the captain and some policemen of the Third ‘ard. Insulting Females.—It is gratifying to know that the policemen, by the directions of their efficient chief, are taking measures to protect such females as are compell- ed to pass through the streets at night from the insults of young rowdies, who congregate at the corners and re- tired streets for that purpose “Last night, a couple of these wort , named Joseph H. Palmer and John 8. Matthews, were brought up charged with annoying re- spectable females in Broadway. A few more examples will soon put a stop to these proceedings. Butter—Where’s the Qwner?—As policeman Johnson of the 1ith Ward, was taking his rounds in the vicinity of the pier foot of Third street, E. R., he observed a couple of suspicious looking characters land from a boat 6 kegs of butter, and then employ a cartman to convey it some. where for them. ‘The Star ofthe officer being discovered by the rogues, they sprang to the boat and made good their retreat, leaving the butter in p ion of the of- ficer.
