Very short Passage from Vera Cruz.


The fast sailing barque Eugenia, Captain James
Blscoe, arrived yesterday morning in Is days pas
sage from Vera Cruz. She sailed thence on the
18th ult


She brings very important intelligence.


Among the passengers nthe Eugenia is the Hon.
Caleb Gushing, who comes home with the treaty
he had negotiated with the Celestials. He left
Macao onthe 9th Of Augusta date twenty.three
days later than before received.


Mr.. Gushing was attacked and robbedby set OF
banditti, at FL Pina near Puebla. He lost many
private papers of great value.


They had received the account of the election OF
Mr. Polk in Mexico, but they were SO much en-
gagged with their own affairs that they paid no at
tention to the fact.


There were at the Island Of Sacrifice, the Bri-
tish frigae Spartan, just arrived from New Orleans;
British frgate Inconstant, and two French brigs OF
War, but no Americans.


The principal towns, and indeed, all the country
have pronounced against Santa Anna, who with
small force has fled to Queretaro.


The revolution passed off very quietly, no blood
having been shed. The former revolutions being
carried on by party OF military against another,
resulted in much bloodshed-but this movement
coming from the people, well as from the soldiers,
made it general and hence the little commotion OF
dsagreeablc nature.


Santa Anna had but little chance OF overcoming
this movement, and it was a matter OF conjecture
whether he would attempt to escape or deliver him.
self u he very probably will endeavor to gain
over the opposite General, by bribery or similar
MEANS but in this is thought he will not succeed.

probable demand bis execution, as they seem to
think his liberty will be dangerous to the Repub-
lie.


The markets were in a very bad state, with lit.
tie hope of improvement


The Departments OF Sonora, Sinalva, Jalisco,
Zacatecas, and Aquescaientes were in state of
revolution, and in the military possession of Gene
pf Paredes.


General Santa Anna with Cortazar,) had mill
tary possession Of the departments of Queretaro
and GuanaJuato.


Canalizo, Santa Annals President interim, and
his ministers, were prisoners in Mexico. Con-
gress had assembled, after its forcible dssolu
tion by Canalizo, and temporary constitutional
government was installed, composed Of


General Jose Joaquin de Herrera, President Of the
Council Of government, charged officially with the func
D. Luis Gonzaga Cucvas, Minister Of Exterior Rela
tions, Stete and Police.


D. Mariana Riva Palairos, Minister of JUSTICE Public
Instruction and Industry.

II was already known that the three depart
ments of Mexico, Puebla, and Vera Cruz, had de-
clared their adhesion to the provisional Govern
ment and there is no doubt that most of the
other departments will also support the Congress,
and new provisional Government.


The American squadron in the East Indies, con.
ssting of the Brandywine, st. Louis, and Perry,
had been particularly fortunate thus far, in having
