TsS' following extracts, which we clip from the New 0rleaus Courier of the l4th inst, embraces all the news from Mexico.

 The Water Witch, so long and anxionsly expected, has arrived at last, and brings no lidings of war, but mighty big threats on the part of our Mexican friends.

 The Wafer Witch sailed from Vera Cruz on the 9th inst, and arrived here to-day.

 The Tropie has issued an extra, from which we gather the following items

 The election for President of the Mexican Republic commenced on the lst inst; there are four candidates, General Herrera, presl- dent ad intrim; General Almone, late min ister at Washington; Gomez Farlas, and one other, whose name IS not given.

 Almonte has offered his services to the government in the Texan war, in which ser vice he has some experience, having been aid de camp to Santa Anna in the memorable San Jacinto campaign But his offer of ser vice IS regard as a ruse to help him to the presidency.

 The British brig of war Persian arrived al Vera Cruz from Galveston July 27, bringing the news of the Texan Convention having ratified the Proposls for anneIation,. and a re- port that 4000 American troops were expect cd at Galveston in few days

 It was said Mexico would issue no deelar- alton of war against the United States, but as the Tropic says, t was the general opinion, she would merely attemptto reconquer Tex as without declaration of war v!

 The news brought by the Persian caused great excitement throughout the country. The executive laid before congress an act 10 declare war, and authorizing domestic or foreign loan of l5,000,000 dollars, which amount is thought necessary to carry on the war This scheme of the executive was un- der discussion in the two houses.

 The letter from which the foregoing par tjculars are extracted, concludes with saying We have no news from the American squad ron, but think it will soon appear.

 Most of this news is flmsy and incosistent one part with another.
