Of the 2lst, (which we had copied from this morn
ing's Baltimore SUM- we have seen letters from
Vera Cruz, which were received by this evening
southern mail. These relate 10 the two ilterl ST.
ing topics of Paredes' landing, and Major LaIIy's
detachment. ....s .. .... .. .... .4....,. -.
As to Paredes, we regret to slate that the captain
of the British steamer must have been acquainted
with his name and character, us Paredes did not
hesitate to speak freely on board the vessel. He
spoke freely of Santa Annals want Of energy,
ability and principles, and declared that unfortu-
nate Mexico would have to throw herself into the
arms OF America, or some European power
(This last allusion is suspicious: and confirms
what the President stated in his message to Con.
gress: .t.


{" In any event, it was certain that no change
whatever in the government Of Mexico which
would deprive Paroles Of power could be for the
worse, far as the United States were concerned,
while it was highly probable that any change
must be for the better" - ..-t - .#-f. -. .....


Paredes is a monarchist-a friend of a foreign
monarch, there is some reason to believe and his
presence in Mexico, if it looks TO any change
looks rather abroad than to America, for the
change Of her rulers. II will remain for the B t-
ish captain to explain how and why. he, as a neu-
ral.anlroduced so decided an enemy into our ports
at all, and without acquainting US with his char
acter au- ..t .....-.-..
;, II appears from the Vera Cruz letter, that when
Paroles entered that city, he was recognised by
two or three persons-an inspector at the gate,
and by Senor Atocha, who attempted justification
for his silence upon the lame excuse, that though
he was an American citizen, yet he was no spy
The fact is, that Paredes scarcely remained ten
minutes in the city, and went off without the
knowledge of Colonel Wilson, or any of the mill
tary officers. ......... ... Wash. Union. ID

Gen. Taylor. We beg to assure the North
Carolina Standard that in our remarks concern
ing this distinguished man, we have been in
auenced solely by the statements published in the
Generals letters, and which are public property
1t is true, as that paper remarks, from our posi-
ton and Connections we are supposed to know
something of the mind Of Gen. Taylor IN relation
to the Presidency" yet the course which he has
determined to pursue concerning his election has
been fully confirmed by the letters which have
been spread repeatedly before the eyes of his coun
trymen: He will. to a certainty, adhere 10 his
original purpose that if he is TO be called to the
chief magistracy, it must be by the spontaneous
voice of the people. ~ o. Souiherner.'
