Pe: i ereal , rhearn ising ot bottles, aibhimaos nanan ae be manant at Vera Cruz, relative to several Mexican vessels sailing under the Yucatan flag, having been admitted into the port of Vera Cruz by the blockading hile iron, the vessels of other neutrals were no} itted to enter, is palpably absurd, ‘The blocksders ot ye mouth of the Alvurade would not permit a Mexican vageel to pass out unmolested, nor would the squadron at Vera Cruz show a partiality for the Yucatan flag. The only advantage gained by Yucatan in being nized as utral State, is that her ports xem pted ri blockade—her vessels are in the same category as of all other neutral powers. From the New Orleans Picayune, 29 We ee had @ conversation with Cr 4 since our last, and gathered from him the polit rumors cur rent in Tabasco when heleft. The Tite ived from the city of Mexico, are only to the 27th the seme which we have, received vie Havena. It generally believed in Tabasco that Paredes had act lett city cf Mexico at the head of a strong divi of treops and with a military chest of $200,000, but to the frontier—he was first to march to put down the insurrection there. ‘This vai in some details from the accounts before received, Tepre- sented that Gen. Arevalo at the head of « of the J in troops to act under Paredes, had mi stead of Tamaulipas. Another of the rumors current at Tabasco om the 13th inst., was one that Gens. Riquena and Am had nounced for ~anta Anne and Federation, and thet Gen. Arista was very likely to lend his influence tothe same interest. These were but rumors in Tabasco; atany rate we m no authentic statement of the facts in Mex- can papers. y A few words as to the origin of the difficulty the Spanish Commodore Com Conner itis and is peokepiy true, that a traarmetpemey yn of ican vessels are carrying on a v rofitable trade several Mexican ports which ona os hinge protected, in many cases, by the use of Yucatan and inothers by Prussian papers. Some ol these , under Prussian papers, are alleged to have been allowed,, on sume pretext or avother, even to eater ports ui blockade ‘Whe facts being notorious, and the trade very lucrative, the Spanish Commudore is said to have tested warmly against the distinction made in be! this illicit trattic, while every spanish vessel was rigidly held to answer for any attempt to infringe the blockade. ‘The difficulty is said to have led to pretty sharp discus- sions between the twu Commodores, but they were ter miuated by the decleratiun of Com. Conner, that the blockade should be rigidly enforced against all vessels, ef whatever nation and under whatever circumstances. We published some months ago a letter addressed by Gen. Santa Anna to Gen. Tornel, upon his lear: of the appointment of the latter to be Minister of War. ‘The letter attracted som: ition at the time, being re- garded as remarkably characteristic of the astute ex- President. By accident wehavecome across a second letter from the same distinguisned Mexican to the Sec- retary of War, copied from a Yucatan paper, where it appears first to have seen she light. To those who bear in mind recent events +n the career of Santa Anna—his disavowal ot acts of his Ministry, upon which he would throw the odium that led to his own overthrow— his sudden withdrawal from his troops when lying before Puebla—nis capture and subsequent imprisoament at Pe- rote—the letter will require no explanation. It is not unreasonable to suppose the letter has had some weight with Tornel, and even with Paredes, fur since it was written, Tornel has once at least thrown up his portfulio, although subsequently he resumed it; and Paredes him- self has professedly yielded his preterence for a monar- chical form of government, and declared for a republi- can representative system. ' The translation of the letter below hes been hasty made, and if not very correct, will afford a Slimpse of the workings of the of the tormer Dictator of Mexico :— “ Havana, April 9,1846. “My esteemed Friend—In reply to your communica- tion of the 29th ult. I re to state how great was the pleasure afforded to me by the news of the concentra- tion of our forces upon the frontier, and that the integ- rity of the Moxican territory would be defended wi honor; tor whatever may be my situation, and however remote from my country | may be, I shail not lay aside my feelings of loyalty towards it.’ I desire, then, that eur arms may prevail over these infamous invaders, apd that will be for me a day of glory on which you may communicate to m ‘ictory of the Mexicans. In regard to my return to the Republic, | assured you in my last communication that { bad taken no determina- ‘ivn or step in the matter; but that if the established go- vernment or the august voice of the nation should call upon me, it would not be disregaried by me; and that forgettiog my private wi (had always known wow to do—I would co-operate to save the country from he terribie crisis in which | this day consider it; be- cause, beyond a doubt, she is thisday surrounded by more difficulties he has ever before been plunged in, a8 every truly Mexican heart cannot fail to perceive. In my previous communication | c tulated your Excellency upon having received the important minis- try of war, and | did so rely, because knowing well your abilities, [ considered that they might contribute to extract the carriage from the —[@ sacar ef carro del atescadero]—and to ward off a thousand evils from the republic. To-day, with the same trankness, I ad- dress you, and I would advise that you shuld not sup- port the extravagant course of the F eghecond pwnd ment; nor indirectly countenance labors of those who droam of the establishment of a throne to be fillod with a foreign prince ; nor, in fine, oppose the well un- derstood wishes of the people. because the will of tho people is irresistible. You, yourself, have seen that | +e myself from a loyal and brav Saniye net be lieving it sufficient to contend the public will, just me; sn which justly or uniustly hed Sectenea Jodiging the, it would criminal if tae cities and the is should be fruitlessly watered with blood ; and | did this, nutwithstanding that my own ee depended upon my pursuing my ‘his event is very re- cent, aud should not be lost sight of by you. In'order that youmey fulfil your duty with loyalty to. Gen Paredes, it appears to me indis; ble that he -hould withdraw from the edge of the abyss upon which he has placed himself, and into which he may sink your- self also This system of persecution against the press and against individuals, in the manner in which it has deen adopted; this childish espionage, this striving against public opinion, is madness and wilful blindness.— Say to the general, with frankness and lo; a ee 80 much becomes'men of worth, that he n into & grave mistake in issuing his anti national call of a Con- gress, and also when he allows the people to regard him asthe supporter of monarchical designs. ey Tes him, and with truth, that his interests, and tuose of nation, demand of him to retire from a post which he cannot continue to fill without involv his country in great nd ex himself to rtunato results; say hi it he should make a sacrilice of his self-love, as { did in the plains of Puebla; and that he should depose his authority in the bands of that citizen who che greatest laslty, 208.ah the; come tak on, by other princi; other , save this most un- fortunate nation as prompuly as the extremity of its dis- tresses demands. This language, at this time, will appear to you violent, hecause when we occupy ‘bh poste, the truth flies from its accents no longer se. FI and adu- lation, in to those the most moderate in their wishes, become pleasing it is that we fall into errors which alterwarde we lament. Your talent knowledge of men will enable you to appreciate at their true value these stions of a man ol experience, who has given so y proofs that he is a good Mexican. The friendship which you manifest towarda me, and which I duly appreciate, makes me beg of you.in the name ofthis friondship that you will open yourears on this occasion ; that you will not compro- mise your reputation by measures of espionage any person, nor lend your countenance to jour. mali tarnish any name upon which you have lavished ere now athousand encomiums ; for however secretly these things may be foes, they always come to light; and it would be painful for me that a man to whom | am indebted for his generous offices whilst | was enduring suffering and tion at Perote, should com the advanteges he had obtained by conduct so faithfaily the General who this day reposes you, and even I myself advise that you should do so as far os honor and duty permit; but this should not hinder you from being consistent and grateful towards another General, who, since 1821, has showered upon you marks ot friendship and consideration ; nor is it a sufficient re- fecen from thoes obligations to plead that during the year 1844 that General separated from his ministers ; fer you | yourself will confess that there is no public functionary who is not lable to be surprised and even deceived. Be- the friendl; planations which you have since re- ceived should have led you to overlook an sct, purely the result of circumstances, and which | do not thin! you would aim to 0 by questionable measures. Finally, | ha ptenntied you that | am recon- ciled with Gen Paredes in consideration of the favors he is sjucice, if he seeks me asa friend, my arms are open ; but if joos not trus' ind is yet hostile to mo, although covertly, he should not be offended that in of the rights of my country and forhis «wn ad e, 1 should pursue the course [ deem the most eligible. | You yourself will recognize in there lines the languago of an old, well-tried friend, and 1 do uot doubt that we understand each other. But [ must close, as the packet is going, and I have not reom for more. From your most attached friend, &c., ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. To his Ex’cy dr. D. Jose Maria Tornel, Mexico.

The scenery was moat besutiful— the eye wandered over fair prospects of hill and Ast north .wind prevailed for two or three days ; ail of the men wore their over coats to keep warm, and women wrapped them- selves up in shawls, or walked on foot, to do the same. In our encai we had several Oregon fa- milies, con: twenty Wagons. Some little disturbance they concluded to withdraw from our part @o0n their own hook, form- ing a company of their own, mustering a torce of some twenty fighting men. ‘They went on ahead, and for several days en- jped within one or two miles of us. In their party there were many young ladies— ours, ‘mostly young men. ‘riendships attachments nm formed whi hard to break; for, ever since, company is nearly deserted, by the you: i every day riding out on horseback, Pretend to hunt, but instead of pursuing the b deeror fleet antelope, they are generally. found among the fair Oregon girls! Thus they go, every day, making love the road-side, in the midst of te wildest Rk toe beautiful scenery, now admiring the meanderings of some delightful stream, Or course of some noble river! This little party, one day before they reached the Plattey were surprised by a of 20 or 80 Pawnees, drawn up in bate array, eoming down full sweep to attack them; but they were no soon- et seen than the men formed in order of battle to meer them. The cunning Pawnees, seeing this little band drawn out, and fearing the deadly rifle, | immediately turned their war party into a visit— shaking hands, hugging men, and attempting to embrace the women. After receiving some pre- sents, they went away apparently as well pleased as if they had taken all of their scalps. Every one was‘anxious to reach the Plattey It was in ae body’s mouth “when shall we get to the Platte?” ‘e had now travelled four days up the Blue, and one day’s march would take us to that great river.

The bluffs suddenly fall down from 50 to 100 feet, when there is a gradual slope to the water’s edge.
