Thirteen Days Later from tlie City of Mexico. New Orleans. Nov. 9. By tlie arrival of tho schooner Creole, Desache, master, from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 29lh ult., we linve lull files from the city uf Alexico to Hie 25lli October, thirteen days later titan wo received by tho Mississippi and Prince ton. Among tlie passengers by tho Creole, are lltn wife unci daughter of tlie uuforiuiiulo Gen. Mejia. It may he recollected tliui Gen. Al. wus shot near Pueblu, by order of Santa Anna. We lenrn verbally, that tlie general impression ul Vera Cruz, when the Creole sailed, was, that all difficulties between the United States and Mexico, were in u fuir way to no amicably settled. It may bo Hint Mexico may yet desire me interference of our Government to help her uni of her difficulties with France, and, perhaps, with England ; stran ger things have occurred. La Voz del Pueblo, fun opposition journal of tlie city of Mexico,) furnishes the Inundation of the report that negotiations were likely to he resumed between tlie United Slates und Mexico. It slates that in a secrete session uf tlie two Chambers uf | Congress, on the 141li ol October, tlie Minister of j Foreign Affairs communicated to them that tlie | Consul of the United Slates, resident at Mexico, hud transmitted lo him despatches from the Cubi- net at Washington, the tenor of which was us fol lows :—That, desiring to avoid hostilities between two Republics whicli ought to he firmly united by sympathy and a thousand tios of mutual interest, tlie Government at Washington was disposed to submit the uffuir of Texas to negotiation ; and that, in order lo arrive at a determination of the matter ul once reasonable und lionoruhle to both parlies, it would send un Envoy Extraordinary should the Mexican Government he disposed to re- ceive him. Tho Government of Mexico replied, llml the relations between the two countries being broken, it could not receive the Envoy iu a public character, hut would admit him us tlie simple pri vate hearer ol the message in question, upon the condition that, first of all, the U. S. Government should withdraw its squadron from the vvulors of VeraCruz. The Minister added, that without ' prejudice to these informal communictiouns, Alex- icuu Government would continue to tuke measures to protect the nution from a coup.de-mam on the part of tho U. Stales. Although these communications were declared rigorously secret, and to he kept perfectly invio- lute, tho editor of La Voz assures us that lie lias obtained the foregoing from an excellent source (I), and add.-: "Cun wo not discover in this a hypocrit ical conspiracy ? Mexicans! To vvliul point are you content to endure ?" or. as a schoolboy would suy—"Quosque tandem, ahutere,” &c. The master ol the Creole reperts that when ho sailed from Vera Cruz, llie U. S. squadron had tu- ken its eepurture. This may he deemed of sig nificance, if tho ubove report be correct. That re port, however, militate altogether with the repeat ed declarations made in the Union as lo the inten tions of our Government. It is not to be denied, however, that the general impression here sinco tlie Mississippi arrived (and in Vera Cruz at last ac. counts) lias been, llmi an informal tiiidersianding exists between Hie two Governments that diploma. lio relation** •aWnnlr] Iin ruunmod. El Siglo ol tlie 16tn confirms generally the re. port of its contemporary, und ieuves hardly u doubt that some one has obtained an expression of opin- ion from tho Mexican Cabinet as to re-opening nc. goliations, whether lie was authorized to do so by the Cubinet at Washington, or proceeded upon his own responsibility. The Zeinpoalleca of Jalapa announces tho ar- rival there, un the evening of the 15tli ult., of the Baron Alleye de Cyprey. the ex Minister of France, with his family, accompanied by a strong escort. His Excellency, according lo this authority, had been treated with the greatest respect, and without the slightest insult. We have no uccoonts of the arrival of the Baron ut Vera Cruz, (our papers hence not being so lute as from the capital,) hut as we learn verbally that the French vessels lying al VeraCruz had sailed before the Creole left, we presume that his Excellency bus taken ids final leave uf the republic ul Alexicu. D. San Juan Bautista, the Guvnrnor of Tuhuscu, in an address to tlie inhabitants, dated the 25lli of September, congratulates them upon the restora tion of the empire of the laws and constitutional or der, which had beoti suspended since the 14tli of June. This pacification was not effected without shedding a gun-1 dual uf hiuod, Gen. Bruno, in command of the garrison, resisted the Governor to the last ; but having received an uccessiou of volunteers, the forces of the Governor, under Gen. Polaez, attacked the insurgents, defeated lliem with some loss, und took Bruno and all Ins stuff prison ers. A letter lias been received in -Mexico from Hit- vana, which mentions that a young Spaniard nam ed Gomez, had been urrested by the pulice, who had just arrived there from .Mexico, commissioned by one whose name is purposely omitted, with Hie intention uf assassinating Gen. Suutu Anna. His cause had already been tried, and, according tu the letter, the criminal would ho sentenced to the fortress ofCenlu, in Africa. Gen. San’a Anna ha expressed his perfect satisfaction w ith the ac tivity, zeal and efficiency of Ihe police. There was a little ugo u great to-do in Vera Cruz and Mexico, because tlie commandant of Sail Joan de Ulna hud sold two pieces ol bronze nrliile ry from tlie fortress. Tlie oifuir underwent an investigation, and it turned out that tire command, ant having .found two guns mounted which were not servicahle mid were dangerous, and there be ing no national foundry wherein to make use ol the metal, lie disposed of them in ihe best wav he could, and applied the proceeds to mounting oilier guns.

Demetriu Monies de Oca, delegate irom Guanajuato. The Mexican Congress was engaged on the 21st nil. with a law proposed by the Government—that the enlistment of “the defenders ol independence ami the laws” should he enforced upon every citi zen, front the day ol attaining his majority until tlie age of fifty. The same day a proposition was in traduced by several deputies, that the prohibitory laws in regard lo tlie admission ofgoods whicli came in competition with any branch of nulionul indus try should not lie suspended before hearing the opinion of al least two-thirds of the Assemblies of tin- Departments.

There is now a probability tliui all our difficulties with Mexico will ho permanently and satisfactorily settled. The administration was wise in taking such prompt and efficient measures us they did, for tho occupation of tho Western lionlier oi 1 exits, and the protection of American commerce on the gulf coast. The policy prevent- cd war with .Mexico, und in all probability, pre vented a war with England, which might have been the consequence of it. Diplomatic relations with Mexico, are about lo he re established. The Cabinet have laid the sub. ject under consideration, for some duys, and it is believed that they are iu favor of compiling with the proposition* of Mexico—withdrawing our for. ces and restoring diplomatic relations, und settling the boundary und indemnity questions by treutv. It is, I have no doubt, the wish of the people of j the United States to treat Mexico generously and 1 -therally in this matter—more especially since she bus offered us the olive branch. We ought tube willing to grant her an ample equivalent for the boundary which we propose to toko, or rather have taken. This is the proper time also for purchas ing the California., of Afi-xico. Her hold is ex ceeding weak on that State, and she must relin quish it ;u England.

J We do not yet certainly know whether the April land July instalments ol Hie Mexican indemnity j were paid lo our agent, Air. Voss. I have seen a | copy of Air. Voss’ receipt dated in September, I which seems lo tie a full and absolute acquittance* The Union intimates that the Government is not yet notified that the money was absolutely paid. But I learn that Air.

Mi. Richard Rusk left this city last evening, af ter spendingsomo days here inclose consultation with Mr. Bucliunan and Mr. P„|k. Air.

[COBUESPONDKSCK OF THE CHARLESTON COURIER.| Washington, Nov. If. I ho intelligence by the Mississijypi, from Vera Cruz, is highly important and satisfactory.
