Important from Mexico.—A mercantile letter received in this city from New-Orleans, dated May 10th, says, 'A friend of mine, who has just arrived from Tampico, informs, that just before he left that place, an express arrived from Gen. St. Anna, at Vera Cruz, with the news that Gen. Calderon, commander of the government troops before that place, finding himself, weakened by sickness and desertion, destitute of provisions and despairing of success in the siege, had held a council with his officers, the result of which was an agreement to join Santa Anna, and that the whole army had entered Vera Cruz. If this is true, adds the writer of the letter, of which I have no doubt, then it is all over with Bustamente and his government.—Jour. of Com.
