Virginia Antoinette, we have recei vod papers from the city of Mexico-to lb 28th. uIt. and from Vera Cruz to the 3c inst. The Hesperia of the 21st states tha President Sania Anna had. granted pet mission to Gen. Sentmanat's family to ex hume his remains and transport them t New Orleans. The papers. publish the particulars c the outrage committed on the petson c Tazieer, the French sailor. It appeare he was beaten cruelly and maltreated ii the most infamous manner. The Mexical papers are attempting to show that Taziee is a "naturalized Mexican." and canno therefore claim the protectiou of France. A British sloop of war lay in the barho waiting an arrival ofspecie, a number vessels were also lying outside the ha bound in, but owing to the prevalence o north winds, no communication had beei had with the shore for twenty days. Thi village of Tusban, about 60 miles South o Tampico, was nearly destroyed on the is instant by a severe gale. President Santa Anna hUs issued a cir cular stating the conditions upon whici foreigners are allowed to enter the Repub lie by way of the Frontiers. 1st. The] must enter the country by one of theplacei designated for the trade with the Unitet States. 2d. All passports are to be pre sented to the Custom House Collector a such a point. 3d. A formal acknowledge ment of submission to the laws and author iies of the nation, during his residence it the country. No passport can embrace more than on person, except such as are delivered tc fathers of families, which may includt their wives and sons under 16 years. The preceding articles apply to all for eigners travelling by the places indicted No passport will be delivered save foi one designated point, and can only serve for such place. The fifth article states the formalities tc be observed by the Custom House Col. lectors The sixth provides for the expnlsion o all foreigners who may obtain permissior into the territory by other means than those pointed out in the preceding articles. .Those fore ogns..wjongghave co1in into thecontry, prnor to the promulgatioi of this decree, are allowed to remain, pro. vided their conduct.has been irreproach ables and they have complied with the laws relating to residence of foreigners otherwise they are subject to expulsion within a delay not exceeding six monihs A deciee has been propised by the Min ister of Finance closin to foreigo vesselt all other ports 6f the epuiblic save thost of Vera Cruz, Santa de Tamaulipai (Tampico,) Campeachy and Acapulco Foreign commerce can be carried 6u it the other ports but exclusively by Mexicar vessels.

Noth ing new tochtng the war against Texas. Foreign.a-We have look through th< English papers, which come by the lat packet, but find very little of interest i them. The London spectator winds up a lanj article by saying, that "there are but thre chances rof-peace for any English Govern ment--tO bear.e the trouble patiently til O'Connell die ; to pension him off, whic eol only be done at all by doing it i every sense handsomely; ;or by beating him at his own trade,- and driving hiti at his own trade,. and driving him outc ihe ma*ket,.with grtifying the Irish pa pIe.

RathAr Courious.-Mr. C. F. Mills, of our city, on Saturday last exhibited to us some specimonts of Lemont taken from a tree in his garden. Then were evidently sir diutinct crops.

"'Where I to make a tour through the country, I should either be compelled to neglectjnyofficial, matters or to resign.

It is a question which pub lic opinion should pass upon, and their servants should obey that opiniov and will. Candor requires that I shoufd go a step further.
