There were several arrivals from Vera Cruz Yesterday, the latest being the steam ship Virginia, Capt. Tucker, which left on the 4th inst., anil touched at Tam pico. The most important intelligence by this arrival consists of an indefinite, but very current rumor that secret negotiations are on foot, which promise peace It comes to us from several sources, and such as are usually well informed. We have noth ing very tangible to give color to it, but note below such circumstances as favor it. For ourselves, we can only vouch for the fact that such an impression was very strong and general at Tampico. It appears that despatches were received at Vera Cruz the night of the 31st ult., by a courier from Mr Doyle, the British Charge. They were at once despatched to this port by the brig of war Darin;;, which arrived here several days since. Though nothing is known as to these despatches, the opinion formed at Vera Cruz, from the fact that they were forwarded by a vessel of war, instead of awaiting a steamer, was that they were ofgreat consequence. They even jumped to the conclusion that secret negotiations were going on between Mr Trist and the Mexican commissioners un der English auspices. Nay. one of our correspondents is confident that the Sara toga brought over despatches from Mr Trist for the Government at Washington, asking to have h;s powers renewed. The evening of the 2d inst, a detach ment of about twenty-five dragoons, un der Captain Croghan Ker, arrived from Mexico, having left there the 27th of De cember. Mr Trist did not accompany the train. Capt. Ker brought down despatches for Washington. Col. Miles, with a force of from 1000 to 1500 troops, left Vera Cruz, on the 2d inst. for the city o( Mexico. Gen. Scott was anxious for its arrival, which it was supposed would not be later than two weeks. As soon as another column 1500 strong can be collected at Vera Cruz, it is expect ed to move thence for Orizaba, under command of Col Bankhead. In Vera Cruz this is expected to be a delightful excursion, from the beauty of the country, the fine roadsand the kindness of the people, who have repeatedly solicited that troops should be sent thither. " ;. A small command had been despatched from the city of Mexico, composed prin cipally of the 9th Infantry, under Colonel Withers, for the mining district of Ileal del Monte, on the road towards Tampico, for anl from t,e purpose of collecting the revenues from inrno runs: .i the minini companies. Another was ex Int received at Tec 1 H. ERAMBERT'S A VERY IMPORTANT COMMUNI CATION TO ALL PERSONS IN ALL PLACES, AT ALL TIMES, And under' all circumstances ! If you are sick, get cured ; if well, employ measures to continue so. Every individual in dulges in habits, which must, to a greator or lesser extent, disarrange the admirable and intricate combinations which form the system, and conse quently every individual should possess some mild, yet efficacious, simple and accredited agent for preserving A the functions of the body in good order. Dr. Woods Sarsaparilla and Cherry Jitters will achieve this result, and should be in every f.imilv, and in the hands of every person, who, by business, profession or general course of life, is predisposed to the very many little ailments that render life a curse, instead of a blessing, and finally result, in their aggregated condition, in the cause of Death. The Bitters here mentioned are compounded by a man of great skill and knowledge, from the simples Nature presents to those who care to tincl them, and which are the only reliable anti dotes to the poison of disease. The chief ingre dients are the universally-beloved Sarsaparilla and the Bark of the Wild Cherry Tree, with which the red m.in of the forest cures nearly every disease of the internal organs. These ma terials, though powerful in their action, are, as common sense teaches us. EJT1RELY HARMLESS ; and prepared as they are here, one of the greatest medical operatives in the inhabitable globe. By taking these Bitters, the scrofulous may be restor ed to beauty, and avoid the sharp knife cf the su rgcon ; for they not only eradicate pimples and rumors, but over come cjijvcer jiJK'n Aiders E VIL. .' Whoever is subjected to the horrors of Consti pation, vhould at once purchase this sure remedy. In the train of Costiveness follow dreadful locul congestions, oftentimes insanity, very frequently mania or hypochondria, violent headaches, palpi tations, and other aflections of the heart, and rhumitic swellings. Dr. Wood's Compound is one of the most eilicient medicines in routing these complaints, and their fountain head, that can possiblv be procured. From being confined in close rooms tati'iT n sin:ill mm lnim ot exercise, numerous i ,i :i- .i..i i ! the mining comn tite, painful headaches, weakness of the muscles, j pected to leave in a tew days lor ioluca, lanuruor, want of enertrv sufficient to permit them ! the capital ot the State OI Mexico. Gen. Marshall was still at Jalapa on the 29th ult., awaiting the arrival of Col Miles' train. Upon its arrival, his force would be 5500 men, according to the Free Ameri can. The President's message reached Mexico oriirthe 25th ult, having been despatched Irom Vera Cruz to the capital in 70 hours, for the American Star. It left Washington onthe 8th, and was consequently but 1 7 days in reaching Mexico. It was imme diately published by the Star at length. On "the 20th ult, John Reynolds, of com pany D, 8ih Infantry, was hung for mur dering a Mexican woman. Mr Webster's Worcester speech is pub lished in the American Star, in order to .counteract the perversions made of certain passages in it bv the Mexican papers. j Geriv Sinitli Governor -of the city, has j had a serious misunderstanding with the ayuntamiento or municipal council, " and i consequent ly dissolved it The documents are published at length, but would hardly interest our readers. A new council was promptly installed. There is a story in the Mexican papers that Santa Anna had embarked at Acapulco for the port of San IJIas. Upon tiiisEI Monitor exclaims : " If this should be so, as we hope not, may God protect the peace of Jalisco. '' The Monitor's correspondent states, says the American Star of 23d De cember, that the Government is much embarrassed for want of resources. The State of Jalisco had not paid the contingent voted by the recent council of Governors It had lost the tobacco rent, also, in giving unlimited freedom in planting. Geo. Scott's order of the loth had arrived, and a meeting of the Ministers was held in con sequence. There was considerable alarm lest the Americans would go to Queretaro tooccupv the city, and families were be- to seek recreation, ice. ic.- - I nese persons .say for years, that they iloivt. feel -very well." If they do not employ a method bywhieh they can feel quite well, they e vent uallyV sink, under a severe lit of illness, and are - v SAILED FROM THE r GRA VE - . only by a miracle and even then thelapeetjeejeli,' blister and calomel have left them mere Shatter ed hulks, full of aches and sorrows, -and not. oaly a jict to themselves, but a source of ; disgust and annoyance to all with whom they colhe in conr t.ict." All these " V-H ' FEARFtTL COJ"SEQUEj'CJSS ; maybe avoided by an early application of the virtue-, of tlte.se Bitters. For the truth of this, the proprietor pledges his word and honor, and in evidence can show files of undoubted certifi cates which he has received, unsolicited from all quarters. lie does not, however, ask the invalid to sw.-dlow his certificate but his Bitters, and is willing to stake ;-.ll he holds dear on earth in favor of their worth. THE DYSPEPSIA. in cither a modified or severe form, will disippcar before the qualities of Dr. Word's preparation, and the cure may be relied on as a permanent one. Did the Bitters possess no other recommendation, it would he one of the finest vegetable compounds medical science can invent ; but it is equal to the complete en-die. it ion of LIVER CO.MPIIIA'T, in every shaj-e. and of every afli ction. minor or gigantic, of the bilitary nparutus.

By neglecting the little inroads made upon the latter a vast portion of our fellew beings are ren dered extremely miserable so miserable, indeed, that thy wish to die. Every bottle of " Dr Wood's Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bitters" contains a modicum of joy and content for each of these anxious and imprudent sufferers. Re member that an injudicious use of mercury is inevitably productive of many evila which are put to flight by this glorious and unsurpassable compound; and that afflictions, which are HEREDITARY may speedily and safely be shuffled off through its acencv, As a medicine which must benefit EVERYBODY. from the simply delicate to the confined and des pairing invalid, no equal is to be found for it. It would be well to bear in mind that preventive is infinitely more desirable than cure, and that Dr. Wood's Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bitterf are both.

The Sniit-i A nnaicf s union, and were against antl Puros were doing all in their in full power the Government, and to bring about a revolution. Their utmost efforts were directed towards destroying the cred it ol the Government. We proceed to extract copiously from the files of papers we have received From the American Star of Dec. 21. Yesterday morning Col. Johnson arrived in the city in command ot the troops who went down with Col- Arney on the 1st ultimo. A very large number of recruits lor the different regiments came in also un der commaud, we believe, ol Maj Gray. The 9th and 12th, and several . other regi ments, received large accessions by this ar I A I . f f J rivai. large train oi wagons accom panied the troops. Brig. Geu. Lane, with his stan, reached the city on Saturday, and we have heard that Queretaro is his des- I .1 iinaiion. in consequence oi inese ar rivals for the last few days, the city pre sents quite an animated appearance. Many of the streets are blocked up with wagons and soldiers on their way to their quarters In most cases entire new barracks have to be taken. From the same paper of Dec. 2'J I he Monitor of yesterday has a letter from Queretaro which states that the Gov ernment is doing all in its power to get the new Congress together. It is believed it will assemble about the middle of January. The fate of the country is represented as being in its hands. The pronunciamcnlo had not taken place ? the chiefs and lea ders not being disposed to take part in the new disorder. The writer appears to think, that however great the difficulties which beset the Republic, they are noth ing in comparison with those which would follow a termination of the war. Parties, then, he adds, will have time to take breath before commencing with greater violence that fratricidal dissension which has re duced the country to the condition in which it is now placed. Me attributes whatever want of energy has been exhibited by the Government to the anarchical and disor ganizing course of some high functionaries, and principally of certain military chief tains, who have been harrassing the Gov verntnent while threatened with invasion. Gen. Cushing's brigade, comprising the 1st and 2d Pennsylvania Regiments, New York, South-Carolina and Massachusetts Volunteers, went to San Angel on Sunday last ('Dec. 19.) We presume they will have another place of destination shortly. From the American Star, Dec. 24. We alluded yesterday to the liberation, by order of the American commander-in-chief, of the Mexican soldiers who have been in confinement since they were taken prisoners of war in the battles before this capital. The number liberated, we are told, is not far from five hundred. They all bear with them a paper, signed by the Archbishop of Mexico and the President of the ayuntiamento, certifying that they have bound themselves by an oath not to take up arms in the existing war, until they have been duly exchanged. It will be seen, therefore, that the church has lent its sanc tion to this step, and that these soldiers go forth under its protection and authority. Of course no attempt will be made to im press them again into the Mexican service. They cannot themselves be too careful that they do nothing at vat iance with the obliga tions which they ami their spiritual father have contracted. We have noticed many of the liberated prisoners in the streets and shops asking alms, with their certifi cates in their hands. Whether worthy objects of charity or not, we are not ad vised. Being able-bodied men, however, who have fared well since their confine ment, those who arc industrious can no doubt find employment, aud thus support themselves and their families. Lower California Advices from Mazatlan have been received to the 30th ult. The guerrillas, under Mijarcs, made an attack upon the Cape (Lower California ) und were completely routed Mijares and many other Mexicans being killed. La Paz, further north in the Peninsula, was also the scene of a sanguinary conflict be tween the guerrillas, under Capt Pineda, antl the Americans. The place was re duced to ashes by the fire that took place between the combatants. The Mexicans were finally compelled to retire. There are rumors of other engagements, but noth ing to be relied on. v " . i rom American Star, Dec. 25. Quekktaro. Seventeen Deputies were at Queretaro, ready for the assembling of the new Congress. The Monitor publishes a list of those who were present at a pre liminary meeting. The revolutionists are brought to a stand, public opinion being too strong for them. Many of jhc chiefs had given in their adhesi) to the Govern ment, antl avowed their determination to aid it to the best of their ability. They think it the best and surest course to leave the Generai Government and State at lib erty to form their own opinions in regard to peace or war thus submitting to the exigencies of the time antl to the will of the majority. The Monitor's correspon dent thinks the members of the new Con gress will readily and efficiently work to gether, inasmuch as they will cast aside everything like the gratification of person al iuterest or unworthy prejudices. We really hope such may be the case. The new Congress will meet in a few weeks, and we shall watch its proceedings with a good deal of interest The Flag of Freedom is a paper publish ed at Puebla. From the number for the 25th of Dec. we make the following ex tracts: Expedition to Ciioi.cla On the night of the 21st inst., an expedition consisting of about 25 dragoons, 18 quartermaster men, and the Spy Company, the whole commanded by Lieut Waelder, acting as sisting adjutant general this Department, went to the town of Cholula for the pur pose of apprehending some Mexican offi cers who were said to be there. The party started about 6 o'clock and arrived in Cholula a little after 7; they entered the town without opposition, but when arrived on the plaza, a severe fire was opened upon them front one of the houses. One half of the command was ordered to dismount and take possession of the house ; this was promptly done, while the enemy kept up their tire. The house was then thorough ly searched, but most of the Mexicans had effected their escape; three, however, were killed, and three brought in as prisoners, with a loss on our side of three horses ana one man slightly wounded. The house in which the officers were supposed to be, was afterwards gone into, but they were not found as was expected, after alf the noise occasioned by the shooting and enter ing of the house" first spoken vf. The party remained in the town about three hours, when, not finding anything further to do, they returned to this city. Lt. Waelder speaks in the highest term of the conduct of the men under his com mand on this occasion; they carried oat every order promptly and gallantly. The American prisoners who have been taken by the Mexicans at various times and places, were yesterday sent here from" Zacatlan by Mr Isunza, the present Mex ican Governor ot the state ot Puebla; they were conducted by Col. INoreja and for mally delivered to Col. Childs, command ing this Department. Mr Isunza asked, in exchange for these prisoners, Col Pavon ; if this was not ad missible, an equal number of Mexican pris oners, or, if the latter could not be done; to accent them as voluntarily restored to the United States. This act of the Mexican Governor is cer tainly a humane and commendable one ; in addition, the prisoners state that they were kindly treated while confined. I lie answer ot Col. Childs, howevert was in the proper American spirit. He wrote to Mr Isunza, as we understand from good authority, that he could not accede to the first proposition, from the fact that the Republic of Mexico is largely indebted to the United States for returned and paroled! prisoners ami many set at liberty uncon ditionally, of the same grade ast'iosc receiv ed ; that within the last two months a much larger number of prisoners of wnr than now received, had been liberated, simply as an act of humanity, they being extremely anxious to return to their fami lies and friends ; that, in tact, the extent to which Mexican prisoners had been res tored to liberty, deprived him of the pleas ure ot complying with the second part of tne proposition. tie further thanked the Governor for kindness and attention to the prisoners just voluntarily restored, and as sures that he will take pleasure in emulat ing Mr I.'s humanity towards Mexicans' that may fall into his hands as prisoners of war. ".MUSTANG'S " LETTERS. City of Mexico, Dec. 23, 1847. Eds. Delta. I can only write you aline by this conveyance, both for the want of space aud time, before the courier leaves. All the new troops under Gen. Butler have arrived, in good health generally. I wrote to you in my last that there could not be any movement to San Luis, Quereta ro, etc. for some weeks, which turns out to" be true. If the expedition does move, of which there is some doubt, it will be un der the command of Maj. Gen Butler, and consist of about 4,000 troops. Col. Riley's brigade is now in Tacubaya, three miles from the City Gen Cushing's at San Angel, seven miles from the City, and is formed out of the South Carolina, New York and the Pennsylvania Volunteers War stock is down, and peace stock is up, but 1 must admit that the market, among the outsiders, is rather fluctuating) and speculation has taken a wide range. On the 1st of January next is the day fixed for the meeting of the Mexican Congress, with llerrera as President. Their pro ceedings, will be of a highly important character, and full of interest to the peopre of the United States.

Withers, consisting of the 9th Infantry, a section of Artillery under Lieut, aud a company of Dragoons under Capt Gaithery started for Pachuca, a town situated near the mines of Real del Monte. The object of the expedition I understand to be to pro tect the proprietors in working the ininesy aud at the same time to collect the revenues arising therefiom The prospects for negotiating a peade" immediately increase daily, and in fact we have every reason to believe the Mexicans will conclude it during the next month, it our Government will accede to the terms they offered during the armistice , An en tirely different opinion exists in the coun cils of the Mexican Government, and with' a lare majority of the people. My cor respondent at Queretaro writes me, under date of the 20th inst., that about thirty of the new deputies had already arrived, and that bv the 5th or 10th of January, there would not only be a quorum, but nearly, if not the whole of the Congress present that there is no opposition tu the negotia tion of a peace, except among the deputies from the States of San Luis de Potosi and
