Smith, arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, having sailed thence on the 18th inst. She touched at Tampico on the 20th and Bragos Santiago on tho 2ist inst. Another express had arrived at Vera Crus from Jala- pa, which announces that all t the 16th inst. for Perote, under Childs was to leave the following day with all t! son. Gen. Shields will parties of any kin: Tho Spanish renegade named La Vega who lately ro- red to Vera Cruz in company with the veracious Col. fate, from this city, is represented to us as already in command of a strong | satya) party. this arrival we have received papers from the city lexioo of the 6th, 7th. 8th and 9th of June. Our pre- vious files came down to the 99th of May. It is represented that opinions were never more di- vided in the capital than at prese: seems have decided upon what cour: At one time the puros and the moderados appoar inclined to unite upon a dissolution of Congress, and leav. overyth ing in the ds of Santa Anna; and thon again the puros talk of reoalling the absent members of their party, and of having a working majority to carry their measures, In the meantime a querum of Congress cannot often be collected. If we tgwd poe no intelligible uecount of the derigns of parties and the government, it is because such confusion and anarchy never before existed in the city of Mexico, by the admission of all. n important fluancial measure of Anaya’s admini- stration has been summarily abrogated by Santa Anna, in deference, as he says, to public opinion. ‘This has led to the resignation of Senor Buranda, who was not consulted as to the repeal of the measure. Senor Lafra gua was then nominated in his place as head of the State Department, but this appointment gave dissatisfuction to the puros, who remonatrated against it. The result wee not known. ‘We find no mention made of the measures taken for the defence of the capital. The papers say that Gen. Scott pretended to his troops that they would march into Mexico on the 15th inst..but that this was a mere boast, in order to keep up the spirits of his men; that he was in no conditio » to move, lacking reinforcements. Letters from Puebla to the cupital represent Generals Scott and Worth assaying that if Santa Anna has charge of the defence of the city of Mexico, they will be able to take it with the loss of two or three hundred men only ; but that if Bravo or Valencia command, it will cost them ¢ Republicuno derides this gossip, though it sounds very natural to us. The Government is urged by letters from Puebla and its vicinity to fall upon Scott, now he ix weak, and crush him. They say he has really but a little over $000 men, though he nds to have 7000. They seem to dread lest Gen, Taylor should proceed to join Gen, Scott, The propositions which Mr. Trist is authorized to make, ave raid by the Moxicans to bo that each republic shall namo three commissioners to discuss tho claims of the United States; and that if Mexico will not consent. to this, then the war is to be prosecuted, Tho’ Mexiouns appear to have intercepted a number of private letters Several to Col. Childs are particularly referred to. One ie from Mrs. Childs, and contains much pleasant gossip as to the stato of parties in the United States. Other letters of an entirely pri- vate nature are commented upon. ‘The successes of some of the guorilla partios near Vera Cruz, are duly chronicled and commended in the Papers. The afternoon of the 6th inst. Santa Anna reviewed at Tealpam the troops from the South of Mexico, under Alvarez. This general's command had not all arrived, but it was expected to reach 8000 men in a few days. Senor Pedro del Castillo has been removed from the command of the regiment of Hidalgo, in the National Guard. ‘The act js atrongly censured, | Gen, J. Gomez do lu Cortina has resigned the command of the battalion of Victoria, ot which he was colonel. Three hundred troops from Morelia arrived in the | bye on the 7th inst. . iligences have been established between these two olties. One of them has already been robbed. The Vice Governor of Oajaca haa resigned his office, and his resignation has beon uecepted. Gen. Scott appears to preserve perfect discipline | among his troops at Puebla. The Mexicans admit this indirectiy, thoagh letters are published complaining of our exerrses in gencral terms, ‘The case of a New York volunteer is mentioned, who was tried by a court ‘mar- tial for assaulting a woman, with a view of robbing her of a silver crucifix. Tho casting of a piece of cannon at Toluca on the 2d inat. is formally mentioned ADDITIONAL (From the per rs before us, but will in, and should they contain any thing of {mportance, lay it before our readors, From Tampico we learn little news by this arri The only thing which gives animation to thy town ap- pears to be the fulaa alurme which frequently scour.

Lieut. De Groote, of the dragoons, who arrived n the Palmetto, has been ordered hither to recruit men to fill | up his company to the full complement. It consists now of only fifty-fourmen. This is the company with which it is intended to open the road from Tampico to San Luis Potosi.

All eyes were turned ever and anon to the tent of one upon whom all their hopes were placed, but nota light, not s movement could be discerned. The occasion made that. single tent an object of intense soli- eltude. Some wondered if he was alone; others would have given their earthly wealth to have known the thoughts, the hopes, the wishes, the intentions of the old ; but all was dark and silent asthetomb. Captain L., of the t phical engineers, had visited the battle yand it.

His remains were yesterday conveyed in solemn progession, with the usual ceremony and all the pomp of military and music, to th terminus of the Cashel railway, a distance of something less than two miles, to be forwarded for interment at the family mausoleum, Bessborough, County Kilkenny. During his short tenement of the Vice Regal authority, those best acquainted with his character, give him credit for the best and most benevolent inténtions; but the actual measure of deputed power in his hands was mall, and his abilities by no means equal to the situation and try- ing times in which he was called upon to act. His was the first case of an Irish Viceroy’s dying in office sin the death of the Duke of Rutland, 1787, whore intor- ment, if transmitted rumor speaks true, was conducted ina style of far greater magnificence than that of the lately deceased nobleman. Lord Morpeth was at first named as his probable successor, but the talents of the latter were probably considered of too popular, promi- nent, and individual a character. The Earl of Clarendon has finally been nominated, : nd accepted ofec. The se- veral parties in Irish politios seem to feel but little inter estin the new appointment; with all it is looked upon as ut best but a contiauance of the “ old regime,” and Lord John Russell speaks of the total abolition of the office at no distant period. Some of the organs of the Young Ire- land party catch up his falling words, andre-eché them; but with a different contemplation. Lord John purposes acloser amalgamation; they a severance of the Union, The Old Ireland section of repeslers held their usual weekly meeting on Tuesday. Mr. J.

[From the New Orleans Times, June 25.) ‘The: paper which our correspondent sends us is the Sol de Anahuac, of the 17th inst., from which we glean the following information relative to the communications with the interior :— The communications with the interior are entirely nd consequently the news received from the ond the line occupied by the American forces, ae those within the line which ought to be in con: stant connection with this piace, is extremely meagre. The cause of this insulated state, appears to be exclu- sively the great fears entertained cn account of the nu- morous guerilla parties which traverse the roads, and the same American bodies of tréops—the former, be- caure some scoundrels have degraded themselves to this character, in committing excessos of all kinds—and even those who are really defenders of their country, often finding themselves pressed by great wants in their long and fatiguing marches, cannot refrain from imposing Vexations upon the travellers; and the latter is apt to confound the peaceful travelier with the active guerilla, and to oarry bis uadue punishment to the extreme of death iteelf, ‘Still there is occasionally a man of nerve who envoun- ters these dangers, but it is to be regretted that this ix rarely the case Our latest news from Puebla was received about three days ago, from which we learn that Gen. worth had al- ready commenced opening ayreat wagon road from Pue- bla to Tuapan, which it is expected will be soon read: for use, the work being carried on with great vi This confirms the reported project of removing the gov- ernment depot and the United States army to ‘Tuspan,— The reports in circulation in Puebl concerning the guerillas, were more uncertain and exaggerated, than those which hava circulated in this place, Conogrning the last train which left with specie and provisions for the United States army, we can only say, that the guerillas still offer a strong resistance. it wwe said that they had destroyed the National Bridge, but sueh is not the case; they barricaded the bridge with heuvy trees to prevent the train from passing, but. no damage was done to it, are the only facts which we have learned, all other reports are inere rumors, without any foundation.

Howvver. frotn Skibbereen, one of the most remarkable scenes of the famine visitation, the accounts are more improved; the population ix still apparently undiminished, and this statement is accounted for, by the fact that Skibbereen is the centre of a large union, 90,000 souls, and that from the country around, and neighboring districts, conti- nual supplies were poured into the town, to ocoupy the place of those cut off. Mention is made’ of one house. near what is called the New Bridge, which had been de- populated and repeopleda dozen of timos.

You will be better able to form an exact estimate of the real truth, by the following extract from the return of the poor law commissioner, for the week ending 4th Aprik 46, compared with the return for similar week, ending 3d April. 47, In the former week, in the workhouses through Ireland, the deaths were 160; in 47 they were 2,706.

He was sworn in by the Lord Justices to established forms, and immediately entered upon the duties of vice-royal authority. Some estimate of their amount may,be formed by the fact of his again quitting Ireland for London, on the 28th, to be absent, as ox} ° ed, forabout « month. ‘The whig, power is not sufficient - ly strong to admit of the absence of a single member of ability at the present crisis from headquarters.
