The news from Mexico is contradictory and uncertain. The capital

was still besieged by the troops of SANTA ANNA. Don MANUEL PEDRAZA, the new President, who has been politically banished for the last 'four years, had arrived at Vera Cruz, and issued a proclamation, full of the usual professions of healing the wounds inflicted by the war, "stilling the 'noise of war, that the voice of peace may be heard," &c. This is in the most approved style of the Mexican and South American chiefs ; who forthwith usually proceed to cut one another's throats with redoubled ardour.
