Late from Mexico. By the schooner Tepeyac, from Vera Cruz, we have received, says the New Orleans Bee, Oajaca and Mexican papers of the 7th, and Jalapa of the 12th inst. They contain nothing which can be very interesting to our readers.

Cadiz, the most resolute of the murdered rebels, as previously announced, has been taken prisoner. He is to be arraigned before a war council; this in other words, means that a short shrift and twenty musket balls will send him where many a tall fellow has gone before. The execution of Guerrero was precipitate in the extreme, and Cadiz, in point of courage and patriotism, bears the most resemblance to that unfortunate chieftain.

We had nearly forgotten that the pontifical mitre had been placed on the brow of cardinal Capellari, when the circumstance was recalled to our mind, by a decree ordering the illumination of the temples and cities in celebration of the joyful event.

A gentleman, very lately from Mexico, informs us that the vice president has of late evinced considerable partiality towards the clergy. He has associated priests to his counsel, entrusted them with public charges-which, to our view, looks very much like constituting a politico-theocratic government.

Papers from Oajaca, Mexico, and Jalapa report the capture of resolute rebel Cadiz, who will be tried by war council and executed, resembling Guerrero's fate in courage and patriotism. Cardinal Capellari elected Pope, celebrated by decree for illuminations of temples and cities. A recent visitor notes the vice president's partiality to clergy, associating priests in counsel and public roles, suggesting a politico-theocratic government.
