Mexico.—-\Ve have seen several,
statements in diflerent papers in re*
lalion to Mexico, which give errone
ous impressions of (lie condition of
ilia' country at the present, time, and
are likely to mislead (bore who wish
to form an Opinion of its prospects.
It has been said, that eight of the
States havo declared against the
measures of S r.ta Anna: and some
go so far as to assert that the revolu-,
lionary movement will soon bo con
fined to the city of Vet a Cruz.
The Mexican papers which were
received h ire by thd last arrival, give
a very diflerent idea of thinars. Three
of(he States have declared in favor
of Santa Anna, and there is reason to
believe that his steps will lie approv
ed and followed by the majority of
the people. He has already obtained
o considerable advantage, w, a {.
tack on a convoy of the r-.wenimenf
and was joined, it* consequence, bv

understood, \v c believe, to have dis
tinctly toVfiwed, that his obje -l is ex-
d'Vsively the deliverer e of the conn
for the occasion. The paper con
taining the false account was sent to
Mr. Latham, by some friend of .Re
ligion—and lie has written a letter
to the Editor, staling,, that he made
no such icmarks to any person in Bos
ton, and that the account, as lie gave
it at ihi»,abo\e mentioned meeting,
was correct. The following letter,
corroborating Mr. Lntliapi.'a account,
is from Rev. Allah Jinks,who is set
tled in Delaware, near the place
where the event occurred—written
in reply io inquiries upon the tub-
jeet.— Ob <$• Tel,
