VERY LATE FROM MEXICO. Our Tampico and Mexico Correspondence. We have received, by the arriva! of the steamship Texas, from Vera Croz,at New Orleans on 15th November, files of the Mexican journals up to the 5th November, and letter to the 7th. The news is of a secondary importance. The Trait d’ Union publishes the text of the con- | vention concluded the 30th June, 1853, betweea the French Minister at Mexico and the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the settlement of French out sanding claims agaiast Mexioo. In pursuance thereof, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs in-| and even more atrocious. Two boys having set a | vites al! citizens having such claims to register them either in his department or at the French Legation im Mexico. The Omnibus announces that the Grand Cross of Guadaloupe, an imperial order created by Iturbide, is about to be re established. The Universal announces that an expedition is being formed ia the United States for the purpo-e of serving on the peninsula of Yucatan, and thence di- yecting a new invasion against the island of Cuba. The French doctor, Hippolyte Villaret, formerly Santa Anna’s physician at Carthagena, died on the first November, after s short sickness. The execution of robbers was beconing a daily oc- ourrence in the various provinces. The ship Mariana, late the slaver Laiy Suffolk, had been declared a legal prize by the special Judge of the finances of the port of Vera Cruz and had been sold by auction for $17,500, aoe — rev aoe bad been maie, suspected o! ing engaged in a project for the re- establishment of the federation.

It is said that the Council of State contemplates conferring on Sita Anua the title of Captain- General, which he bed previously de:lined, though @ecreed ‘0 him by his predecessor Lombardini. Is has been decreed that all vessels ensering into Mexican ports for repairs or. for provisioning shail be exempt from tounage duties; and that those which shail convey coa! exclusively for the depos at Acapu'co, will only have to pay four reals (half a dollar) a ton duty, instead of twelve reals. OUR MEXICAN CORRESPONDENCE. Mexico, Nov. 7, 1853. Santa Anna’s Uneasiness—His Contract for War Steamers— Mexican Secret Commissioner to France, Spar and England. Bince I last bad the pieasure to write you from this city, there has been but little of import- ance to write you. actions of this goveru- ment are of so insiguii t account to you and your readers, that it is almost useless to waste paper on them. But knowing your desire to be kept posted with all that passes in this den of iniquity, I will try ard give you a few moments of my time. To begin— Santa Af@na has become quite uneasy in his dic- tatorship, and daily dreads the loss of his other leg, which he tries 10 prevent by daily making a number of expulsions of the most influential mea out of the country. He has of late made a large contract with Messrs. Simonsteld & Co. to build him to steam war propellers, of four hundred tous, armed and equipped; also, abons two bandred pieces of artil- Jery, she!l and shot. He also sends by the Texas Col. Parte Anraya, to bring up other fireartns, and other munitions of war. There also goes by her a oommissioner to Spain, France and Hnaiand, oa some secret exploit. At the sane time there are veveral curious circumstances to be looked isto. By the English steamer the Spanish minister lett for Spain, avd every day we see new appoiatments of Spanish officers ia the Mexican ranks. Also, we find large armaments of munitions of war daily introduced into the country from France and Spain; and this while the country is at peace. a8 there are expelled ont of the sonatry g Minister of Justice under , Capt. Maxie, one of 0, ther persons. Wken they ail meet in the United States, they, with Capt. Robies, in New Orleans, cau make op a good filubustering party. Yours, truiy, FL IbEs Tampico, Oct. 1853. The Avnoyance and Impos tion of the Passport System. As it may not be generally known to the people of the United Siates thet their countrymen in this republic are obliged to pay an aanial tribute to this government of two dollarsa tad, I enciose here- with a copy of the law woich compels them pay this tribute, though it is masked ani appears under another name, familiarly called carta de seguridad, (letter of security.) which is a ducument oa stamped paper, to be renewed in the mouth of January of every year, under the pena'ty of twenty dollars, or tem days imprisonment. Notwithstanding, the niuth article of our treaty stipniations with Mexico reads thus:—“The citizens of beth countries, respec- tively, shall be exempt from a!l compulsory ser- vice in the army and navy; vor shall they be sauject ed to any charge or contribution, or taxes, otherttha guch as ure paid by the citizens of the State ia which tbey res Let us then ask our government, through the of the colaumas of your Hee & imposition ins been borne ws were any other governme excepting Tripoli, oer count: lions for war, ut ove cent for “being strong in ber weaky men and diplomatiste will £ ug objections against ber impositions on our countrymen The charze of two dollurs for 4 pass tion to the Casta de Seguridad, cant t ‘to; but it is well te n it for the inf whom it may at for the ot who has & t g honor or blame? not the United States me- Mex amisbe states- Are ministers, wh» have presited over the legation at the City of Mexico, to he cen | sured for having omitted to give toeir atention aud guardian protection to this subject?

Our com consoles himeeif with the oonsiders that the loss of the crops cannot be general throug. out the country; aad, fortunately, this is quite tain, but not less so is it, that the imperfect etate of our means of communication renders it imp «sible to tronsport grain to the departments of Zacwiccas aad Durango—say, from Puebia, tor example.

The following letter from John Mitchel to his | fwmer editorial associate, Thomas Devin Reilly, nov | at Wasbington, has be¢h sent us for publication. It is a private letter, written on the eve of his taking | _ the bold step of escaping, im the face of the anthori- | ties, without violating bis parole ; but Mr. Reilly de- | sizes to have it pub ished, and we accordingly give | | it to our readers, comple! | Boruwe1, Van Drewen’s Come | April 26, 1853. | My Dean Rermty—I have now passed nearly five years in captivity to the English enemy—four , years, eleven months, and fourteen days; for my days have gone by heavily, and I had time to count | them. If I endure it any longer, I fear the iron will | enter into my soul and corrode—I fear the virtue, | thats to say, the pluck, will have gone out of me. Nothing could be easier than to escape without | | risk from this den of all the devils, if we could but | condescend to fly clandestinely, in violation of our word cf honor. It is enough to say, that to enter- tain this thought would make us as bad as the British gevernment. The parole is the only chain that binds us; we are | the prisoners ef our own word—not of Sir William | Denison and his abject cut-throat constab'es. Now, 1am going to explain to you why I have | come to the determination of formally withdrawing this parole, and surrendering myself into the hands | of my jailer, who must, thereafter, hold me as they | can, When the British government called me “ felon,” by act of their canting Parliament, I need not tell you, my friend, tow loudly they lied. [need not re- late how viciously they coursed me through their pretended courts of justice—under how fraudulent a pretence of law they procured what they falsely celled a “ eonviction” against me; with what wicked s; eed they chained me and carried me to the ends of the earth—any where out of the sight of man, (for I was the enemy, thank God, of their empire, their nume, and their nation) [ need not remind you with what barbarian joy their whole press screamed after me, “ convict!” “felon !”” “ traitor!” nor tow murderously they have been civilizing our poor country ever since. The pre-ent objec’ »! my writizg is merely to put you in pessession of some personal matters, which I wish to explain clearly to seme friend. It seems that we Irish exiles have been treated | with clemency by ourenemies! This the Queen’s j viceroy wflirms ; tor this the canting press of Eug. | land takes credit. We bave beea exempted, they | say, from convict labor in the gangs, (which oar | crimes bad deserved,) and have been indulged with | comparative liberty and ticket of leave! 1 mean first to give you a list of the Queen of Eng: | lara’s acts of clemency in my own case, and shall | begin at the begmuing— | First— On the very day my mock trial closed, I wos arrayed in gray convict garments, and had m: feet bolted into iron fetters. The clotbes, indeed, were removed immediately after, but not the chains, | | and I was carried to the place of wy embarkation | cbained, iu a police van, with # constaole’s pistol at | my ear. | Seconé—On the same day of my m:k trial, pol'ce | constables were sent to break into the office of my | ; revoke my parole formally, and offer myself to be Jaint, or statement of “ grievances”—God forbid! These things may be clemency ,or may be vengeauce —in either case I utterly despise and defy theca. But what I wish you most clearly to understand are the nature and requirements of our obligation by parole. Our promise is that we will not escape while we retain the “comparative liberty” of a tick- etofleave. It is a bargain revocable by either ty at any time—that is to say, the goveruor or police magistrate cau take away our comparative liberty at aby moment; and, on our side, we cau revoke our parole by surrendering ourselves formally into custo- @y; for the parole of a cannot co-exist with personal cus‘ody for a single instant. The meaning of our promise, then, is that we mast not ex , if at all, out of the personal custody of the regular convict authorities. ‘The convict authority with whom we have to deal is the police magistrate of the police district assigned to us for residence. He represents the government here, bas his police office in the township, aad his lice barrack full of armed constables, to enadle jim to enforce jail discipline in his division of the island—that is, in his ward of the jail; and two years ago an official circular was addressed to us, (Martin and myself.) acquainting us that if we went outside the bounds of our police district without leave, all police magistrates and chief constables had orders to arrest us, and deal with us as with other prisoners. ‘This magistrate is also the person to whom we must Teper ourselves once @ month; and when the le of any ofus has expired, and needs renew » it is to him the renewed parole must be given. If we re- voke our psrole, it is to him we are to surrender our- selves. When Mr. Meagher withdrew his parole he sent notice of the fact to the police magistrate of his district, who instantly sent constables to arrest him. On a former occasion, Mr. O’Donohoe Went perso- nally to the police magistrate, not at his office, but ath! pares house ia the country, and not within effice hours, but in the evening— w his parole on the spot, and was on the spot taken into custody. Moreover, op the 6th of January, 1851, (on some newspaper paragrapbs appearing with reference to us and our position,) Mr. Martin wrote both to Sir Wm. Denis. n and to Mr. Tarleton, police magis- trate of Bothwell, a letter containing these words— “J will uot revoke my parole without surrendering mysrelt to the police magistrate of my district.” mention these precedents to show you thatitia with the police magistrate of Bothwell we have to deal. At each police office the force cousists of,the police magistrate himself, the police clerk. the chief consta ble of the district and bis clerk, (also a coustable,) and about eight or ten other coustables, armed habi tualyy with batons only, but having muskets aod bayonets yn their office or barrack. Bothwell is near the centre of the island, and between it and any ac- cestible part of the coast lie two or three successive cordons of pelice stations. Now, I mean to walk in‘o the Bothwell police of- fice in the day-time, within business hours, there to token into custody, and immediately after to break away if I can, take to the woods and fly. Thegame, indeed, is neck-or-nothing. I may be killed in the attempt, or intercepted at the coast before I can get on board avy vessel. Every nerve will be strained in the pursuit, and if, unfortunately, I shall be taken alive, woe to my heart! Possibly I might, in general estination, satisfy the terms of my parcle somewhat more easily—for in- stance, by getting myself arrested by the convict au- thorities, no matter ander what pretext, or at what hour and place, most convenient to mysef—and then rescuing or purehasing myself out of their hands; tor custody and parcle are incompatible; aud I am sure we should be held justified in giving the nar- rowest and most literal construction to our promise, under such circumstances. But I choose the more formal method. Lam nota good casuist, and pre- fer making the scoundrels a present of something newspaper, who seized types aud pacers, broke frames, and took posscssicn of account books, so that | those who owed debts could not be called upon to | pay them ; and thus her sacred Majesty, the Queen | of England, robbed my wife aud children of a\ their | Ineans, nnder that fale pretence of a trial, and in open violation, therefore, of these laws whivh (they | say) is is her sacred office to guard. | ‘hird—I was kept ten months ia a solitary cell of | a hutk at Bermuda, and with much more rigor and less liberty than any of the real convicts at thas | piace, iusemuck that my heaith failed, and the wedi- | cal superin eudent informed me, and certified to the British government, that if detained there much longer I must die. Fourth—While I lay there between death and life, almoet the only news that penetrated to me from the outer worid, informed me of the indignation of | the British Parliyment, press, and public, agaiust the generous officers of their pirate ships, (gentle, men worthy of an honester service,) because they had spoken to me courteously ; because they had shaken haids with me; because they had sutfered me to sit in their cabins. Chains, a dungeon, and | eonvict’s rations, Sali the great British pudtic, were | gocd enough tor the fel So the outaved Admit | Taity bud to mu inguiries and give exviavations | sly Ue angry pul avd ‘hose worthy olfivers | varrowly missea the booer of beiog ca-hiered ‘rom the pirate service. Now, you may judce whether all | this ferment on arubject must oot have been more palling and ng to 4 chained mau than the actuul cha us, dur geop, and cony ct rations. | Fifth— After a two months’ delay, to cousider the | mecica! oflicer’s report, L «as at length put on board the Nepture experimental convies ssip, destined io run # contraband cargo of felony at ibe Cape Good Hove. the british Ministers, indeed, Knew that I shou'd mo: probably never Jand at th where, accordingly. [ never did iend ; bata five months’ voyage to the Cape, and five montbs’ de- | tention at the Cape, all in a close, unclean, aad un: | healthy cavicy wuder the poop deck of the Neptune, | her Majesty's clemency ordered me to Van Diemen’s | | Land. The voyage of the Neptune, from Bermuda to Van Diemen’s Land, had lasted jast one year, | minus thirteen days. | . Sixth—On wy arrival bere, quite disabled by lon, | illness, I found that allthe real criminals on” board | | the Neptune, “in consideration of the hard-hips of their long we yage and detention,” were to be landed | free; but that [ (though I also had nad the long wyuge ard detention, ad though these were a much | greater hardship to me than to them) was still to be kepta privover. This was more than three years | ago ; and a prisoner I am still. Seventh—Before being allowed even the ‘‘com- | parative hberty” of « ticket of-leave, a promise was | exacted from me that [ would no: use that compara- | tive liberty to make my escape. Now, this idea of the parole was contrived, no’ out of courtesy, God knows, to us, but a3 a security to them—the only se- | curity "hey could have that we would stay oue week in the island. About this there most be no mistake. If we bed been dealt with here as xoy of the classes of reai convicts ure—if we had got the ordinary tick- et-of-leave without parole, or had been hired out to settlers as ‘ pass-holders,” we would all iastantly | bave left the islard. Then if you sek, why give the romire at ali ?—why not demard to be put on the footing of the genuine convicts at once ?—she answer | is, we had no such alternative. Mr. O'Brien did at first refuse; but instead of dealing with him as with an ordinary prisoner, they confined him in a remote jail, under custody as rigorous as mine was at Bermu- | da, whereby be also was in danger of losing his life. Inshort, the enemy desired to have the parole for | their o#n security, not for our benefit; and they ex- acted i under the penalty of a lingering death ina dungeon. Eighth—The Governor of this colony, after first | remonstrating with his employers about the conaid- | eration they showed usintreating us as ‘‘gentiemen” —that is, as persons capable of giving parole of honor | at all—took care at least to make thay high privilege es valueless to us as possible. We are subjected | (notwithstanding the parole.) to strister police-sur- veijance than the true convicts. Weare not allowed to hive iu the same distiist, as common convicts are, nor to visit one another, a= common convicts may ; | we must seport ourselves to the police mayristrate of | ovr respective donyeon districts once a mouth, and that person £0 that our keepers may see us fice | to face and make vs feel once a month that our pa not altogether relied upon ; whilst the roa have oriyt) raport they jweives twice in the 4 got Within the last fortoizat, | Wwhil quiet y at my “ registered | residence’ here, @ gentlemen sravelling throuzh the country wes are-stedeignty miles off, for me, under a warract for wy apprehension as an © abso and ene kept theee day nights in watchh where be was barbarously used, all ia iny name. f Se CNS & gross OUrage Upon the gentleman; but I feel that it wasag rontrage by far upon me—the sole apology made to either of us ix, that tae thing was a mistake. You cau see, therefore, how our pa- role is respected on the enemy's side, and how much we get in retara for giving toem that security. This, | however, is not all: The colonia goverowent, (ia | | performance, no doubt, of its duty,) has used al ite social influence to prevent our being received into the | houses of reputable persons, sud to make intercourse | with os damaging and disreputable. « Tne Goversor | ' has even complained, ia published despatches, of our | being admitted to decent society. And therefore, | | some colonists, who are sycophants of Sir Win. Deni. | son, deem it their duty as loyal subjects to pretend , to regard us #8 felons, and expostulate with the ho- | nest peeple who refuse to make such preteuce, and | whose kind attentions have been the chief allevia- | tion of our misfortune. I do not pretend to jndge of the duties of juilers, nor to decide whether Sir Wm.

We have very little change to report in the stock mat- ket. At the first bcard to-day about tue usual quantity of stocks changed hands, and the transactions on time were to about the usual extent, but there seems to be a pause among speculators. Prices have been carried up to points ruling with a groat desl of foree and vigor on the part of the bulls; but there is evidently a want of | power to sustain the movement, without resting a time to gather strength, Itmay be that a little while will suftice | to give another impetus to the inflation; but the advance | has already been large, and out-iders do not take hold with the avidity which holdere anticipated. This must be a great disappointment, end may prove fatal to many speculators, who have purchased far beyond theie means. Some of the fancies in the list have ad vanced five, ten, and fifteen per cent, which is enough to ratisfy apy ordinary bull, and it probably would, if they could be realized. Thee is the difficulty. it is impossible to realize present prives except on small lets of stock, Outsiders holding twenty- five or Bfty sbare lots, can sell at current rates, but the large operator: in the street cannot do so. They sustain the market by holding on and by additional pur- chases, and it would be very eazy to predict the effect of any change in their movements. ‘The banks bave freely advanced facilities for buying and carrying stock securities, and speculators have availed themselvos of the favors so libera.ly dispensed. Bank presidents and cashiers profess @ holy horror of faney stock speculations, and of cource it would be the height of presumption to even hint that they were in any way connected with tae operations of the day. No one would fer ® moment believe that any bank officer ever directly bevght or sold a fancy stock, and it would not, therefore, be policy to say so, These institu.ions only loan on stocks securities. That is the term. It is nothing to the presi- dent or directors if such loans are calculated to promote speculation. It is their business to loan money 60 that it can be made at the shortest notice, the most available, and the brokers are therejore their beat customers, The recent acvance in the market value of the fancies is at- tributed entirely to the sbundance of money cilering in the street on call, So far as the stocks theuselves are concerned, there has not been the first fractiowof an improvement in actual value, aad we doubt if there kas not been, in scane of them, a depreciation. The advaues is en tirely of an artificial character, and must be sustained by artificial means, The banks are deeply involved in the ia- flation, having employed a Jarge amount of their assets in Iouns vpon the mort worthless fancies It may be “ i:nper- tient” in uato say 60, or to meddle in ary way with the internal affairs of these immacula:e isstitutions, but we have a weakness that wey, end canmot heip it, It may be “impertinent” to expose their defaleations, and it may be “ nobody’s buriness outside of the banks what their lorses have been,”’ but we cannot help feeling that those who have invested all their capital in tue stock of these institutions, and depend upon their dividends fur their daily bread, have aright to know something about the way these concerns are managed, or mismanaged; nnd we thall coptinne to expose every cefsleation, and every delinquency involving the capital of stockholders, ia sy of the ntation# Of ban’ presidents, here or elsewhere. ‘The virtuous indignation ex sibites by the banks impiteat. edand their organs, we must admit looks a goed deal ike i inecenes; but we are too well acquai wil ure of the parties concerned, to be sstoul y exbibition ile defalcations in the banks of the State of New York have been more developed than those of the other banks as they cannot be dieguised, they are par- An attempt was at first mace to de- ye oe on to the rebbery of bilis from the counter, aaLan pt was made to oversbadow the greater loos by the «mi one.

Thir, however, may be an imper- tinent inquiy, and nobody's business outside the bank; but we should really like to know who pocketed the loss of come ten dollars per share, As soon as these questions are ansvcred, we have two or three more to put, equally important.
