Staunton Spectator, And General Advertiser

FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN OF SATURDAY.
IN ADVANCE OF THE MAIL.

By our special overland Express we are in receipt of the New Orleans Picayune of the 19th instant, from which we extract the following items of late Mexican intelligence:

From the City of Mexico American Star of the 3d inst.

The Interior.—The Queretaro newspapers make no reference to a quorum or any revolutionary movement in that city.

We have the contents of a private letter, however, which states that a quorum had been formed, and nothing prevented the meeting of Congress but some religious pageant or procession. Jarauta was at San Luis, in the very best of spirits, and about leaving that city for Queretaro. Bustamente was employing himself in opening the mail from Dallas to the seat of Government. The prevailing opinion was that the new Congress would despatch business, and come to a decision in regard to the treaty in a very few days after coming together.

From the City of Mexico American Star of the 4th May.

FROM QUERETARO.—A private express came in yesterday at noon, and we learned that the Government at Queretaro was considerably embarrassed, because the question had been raised whether the Federal Government had the right to cede any State or portion of a State without the consent of such State. The States of Mexico, generally, go in tooth and nail for State rights, and it has been some time apprehended that such an objection would be urged by the opposition.

Our Commissioners.—We learn from Mexican authority that the Government of Queretaro has yielded several points of etiquette which they had previously held to, and one of them the admission into their capital of an American escort of sixty men with the Commissioners. We have been told, however, that the Commissioners do not go up until advised as to the time by the Government; in other words, when they are ready to receive them they will tell them to come.

Zacatecas.—Rosa, Minister of Relations, has sent a note to the Governor of Zacatecas, setting forth the urgency of an immediate assembling of Congress, and that the responsibility of the further continuance of the war rests with the Deputies who neglect to attend—that one man has it in his power to prevent the meeting. The Deputies from Zacatecas are, or have been among the recusants, but if they have a spark of patriotism left they will repair to their posts.

San Luis.—Paredes had left for Aguascalientes, as also D. Ignacio Flores, under a guard. This individual, it may be remembered, is the same who endeavored to create desertion among the troops of Gen. Romero. Padre Jarauta was in the city on the 26th, attending bull-fights.
