A Mysterious.-We have received by the
steamship Fanny, a letter from our Vera
Cruz correspondent, dated the 13th inst.,
- in which he says that an extraordinary ex
press was despatched that morning at
4 o'clock by the English consul to overtake
Gen. Scott. Our correspondent presumes
e that something very important must have
- been despatched, for the. regular English
e courier, the best express-man in the world,
g was expecting to go up the following day
s upon the arrival, then expected, of the
a English steamer. Conjecture was busy
as to the nature of the despatch. One can
e hardly avoid connecting the purpose of the
s messenger with the anticipated arrival of
a Paredes. Having 'just learned that the
J army of Gen. Scott had comenced its
. march, it might have been the design of
3 the British consul to delay it by some
means to give time to Paredes to go up.
a This would show a more intimate connec
tion of the English government -with the
- returns of Paredes thou .we have a right
y to charge upon grounds at all equivocal.
e But what could have been the necessity
for despatching a special courier on the
I 13th (of which we have not doubt) when
i the regular courier was to leave the follow.
ing day ? Every thing indicating British
t complicity with the return of Paredes
I should be investigated.-N. 0. Picayune,
, 24th ult.
i The Pinon Pass, near the City of Mex
J ico.-We.glean the following description
of the Pinon Pass from the New York Sun.
f It is only sixteen miles from the Capital,
C and itis probable that if Scott met with any.
res;stance at all from Santwn Anna,.it was
a there offered him
1. 'The Pinon pass is on the principal road
from Mexico to.Puebla, sixtieen miles from
f Mexico acid sixty-nine miles from Puebla.
It is a narrow gorge between two volcanic
I mountains, about sixty rods wide, and the
fortifications, which ore built in the form.
I ofta half circle from mountain to mountain
r abot 80 rods in legih. The foriifications
are compose. of stone'andl-earih of great
strengtb, and are capable ofmounting forty
heasvwcionoii. Toward Puebla,-the for

nience,,.Santa :Asia has erecti an
b seriidafdsafe fibom ennon shot, rom
r which hb:intends watching' the expected
b attle. In ease of defeat he has secured
h isi retreat to the: Capitol by a private
path. - A battery ofcaant-has-also-been
placed-.oa a hill to the right of the roa:i
beyond the Pass towards Putebla. Some
.defences are alhso erected on the two moun-,
.tains-which form the Pass.. The spot is
admirably situated to 'defend thie-:Capitol
anud in the hands of anybody but Mexicans,
-would be. impassable. Santa Anna's
Observatory is nearly thirtyr feet higher
tihan the surrounding hills. Upwards of
30,000 nien were at work on the fortiftca
tiotns when nnr courier left. There is but
one other road at all practicable, by whc
the American force could advance, the
'Annunciation' io the South of the Puebla
road, and this is defended by still more
ditlicult passes. There is a road- still
South of this, but it is a mere mule path.
FTe probability is that Gent. Scott's delay
has forced another bloody battle upon our
troops, which would have -been avoided
had he marched directly from Cerro Gordo
upon the Capitol. Ere this, the battle has
s been prohably langlat, and we wait anx
iously to chronicle the history of Gent.
Scott's reception at Pinon Pass.'

LATER FROM2 VERA CRUZ.
The schr. Missisdifpi arrived from Vera
Cruz on Sunday, having sailed thence on
'the evening of the 21st inst. At- that time
the Fashion had not arrIved there, though
Sconstantly expected. She left here the
- evening of the 17th.
TIhe most important news by this arri
val concerns the rmovementsof Geo. Scott.
tThere had been -various rumors on the
-subject in Vera Cruz. many of which bur
r- correspondent kcnew- to be unfounded,.but
he writes us on the afternoon of Saturday,
r the 21st instant, on what he considers "the
best authority,", that the van, guard of
-Getn. Scott's army wvas at Ayotla on Fri
day, the 13-h. and up to that date had not
fired a gun. This news reached Vera
SCruz by a. gentleman who left Ayotia on
B the 13th, coming down by way of Orizaba.'
SAyotla is but twenty one'.miles from the:
city of M exicob being twe.nty miles beyond
the passof Rio Frio. We now tun for a

agent had exceeded his instructions, they
were dishonored.

that. power is exercised.

are nearly completed."
Lor'aos, Aug. 11.
The further failures in the corn trade ad
wvrted to, and known to be impending
yesterday, were publicly reported to-day.
The *amount of liabilities in the largest
case, of- Messrs. Coventry and Shepherd,
was stated at- ?300,000; that of Messrs.
King and .Mellville at 4180,000; and a
third case, ?120,000. The most extensive
of the three houses, as measured by the
sum of failure, was blown upon by rurnor
several days since; but was kept afloat in
hopes of weathering the storm by the assis

-a harvest of monre- than an average abun

havei/dibi'ited a considerable share of ac
tivity; and the maiin articles of general
consumption readily find buyers. .
-The failure in the corn markets of Lon
don, Liverpool, and Sligb, together with
very large artivals of foreign grain, have
produce-d a complete paralysis of business,
and the dealets only supply thiemselvos for
the immediate wants. It almost tends to
mislead our readers at a distance to quote
actual prices, since each successive mar-ket
day exhiblis the unsteadiness of trade. The
further reduction in prices recorded -in our
last number, of the- 4th inst., when wh-at
was still declining from~ about 90s. per
quiarter for the best description in the mar
ket, was checked by the fall of rain in most
