From ?lexico,
A special messenger from Vera Cruz, by
the way of Havana reports that our minister,
Mr. Slidell, had left the former place for Mex
ico, under an escort of Mexican troops. It was
, rumored that Gen. Paredes had pronounced
I against the existing government, on account of
I Textan affairs. Another general wts said to
have revolted in the province of Sonora. We
suspect that these are but the echoes of old
rumors.
Washington, Dec. 25, 1845,
The despatches received by the Gorernment;
from Mexico, are deemed to be of sufficient
importance lo render necessary some immedi
ate movements on the part es Congress. Mea
sures will next week be recommended by
the President with a view to the prosecution of
our just claims with Mexico to a speedy is
sue.
Commodore Stockton will reach the coast
cf California just in lime to carry out the
views of ihe United States in case of war
with Mexico- That he will have orders to
take possession of certain points in California,
there is no doubt The next question will be
whether Great Britain will tamely submit to
it- It is conjectured that Admiral Sir George
Seymour lias orders in regard to that matter,
and ho will not be slow to exueute them.
