The conducta Seizure in Mexico,&c. New Orleans, Nov. 28.--The schooner Melpomene, from Tampico on the 16th, reports that in the case of the seized conducta, the courts had decided upon a pro rata distribution, and the money had been recovered. Everybody was preparing for a change of ">government." Miramon, it was reported, had declared his inability to defend the capital. As last accounts say the Constitutionalists had captured Tacubaya and Guadalajara, there was little doubt that the capital would surrender.

ed as being hitherto unknown, which I most respectfully assert to be a mistake. I was attached to the United States Navy in the capacity of Engineer up to the June of last year, and during my stay in the service several times had the above-mentioned mode of warfare been in readiness for action. In 1808 whilst attached to the steamer Fillton, in Mexico, during a revolution in that country, we were busy in the protection of our merchantmen, two or three vessels then in the harbor of Tampico. To keep the river seven miles in length,) free and open to these vessels we make it trips each day buck and forth the men being at quarters, with the guns rain out, and the hot water on hand ready in case of an attack by boarding parties. In the same year, in the same vessel, and during our difficulties with the English in the Gulf of Mexico, our Commander had occasion to board the English steam-frigate Devastation, again were we at quarters with the indispensable hot water ready for

the laws of war regarding trade. The spirit of these laws is so essentially opposed to the spirit of commerce that we need not be surprised at this, nor at the various attempts which have been made of recent years by different commercial bodies, both in Europe and in America, to overturn the ancient doctrines upon this subject, and to introduce an entirely new maritime code. Whether or not the contemplated cotton traffic through Mexico is likely to succeed, we are not prepared to say. Tampico, we believe, is the nearest port to the American frontier, and the route from thence through Texas to the mouth of the Mississippi is long and difficult. But we know that in India, cotton is still brought from the interior of the country by the most primitive modes of conveyance; and in the event of a protracted struggle in America we have no doubt that a portion of the produce of the Southern States will find its way to Mexican ports, and from thence in neutral bottoms to Europe. It is a

aval squadrons of their different Governments to concentrate at that place and at some point on the Pacific side, when it is designed to seize all the Mexican custom-houses and appoint officers to conduct them for the different nations claiming debts from Mexico. Under the stipulation entered into between Captain Dunlop, of the British navy, and the constitutional Government of Vera Cruz, Great Britain is entitled to a certain per cent. of the revenue derived from customs at Vera Cruz and Tampico, and it is intended now to apply this arrangement to all the ports of Mexico. It is not intended that Mexico shall have more than thirty per cent., we believe, of revenues, which are to be collected and managed by European officers. Gen. Ortega, whom we noticed last week as being on the march after Marquez, is reported as having come up with his opponent near Cuernavaca, and to have beat him in a pitched battle. We doubt the truth of the report, however. Rumor says that 3,000 Fe

Withdrawal of the Foreign Ministers from Mexico. --Of the withdrawal of the French, English, and Spanish Ministers from the City of Mexico, the Fort Brown Flag says: "The retiring ministers left for Vera Cruz, and immediately gave orders to the naval squadrons of their different Governments to concentrate at that place, and at some point on the Pacific side, when it is designed to seize all the Mexican custom-houses and appoint officers to conduct them for the different nations claiming debts from Mexico.--Under the stipulation entered into between Capt. Dunlop, of the British Navy, and the Constitutional Government of Vera Cruz, Great Britain is entitled to a cert in percent. of the revenue derived from customs at Vera Cruz and Tampico, and it is intended now to apply this arrangement to all the ports of Mexico. It is not intended that Mexico shall have more than thirty per cent., we believe, of the revenues, which are to be collected and managed by European officers."

Our Commissioners to England and France. It is known that Hon. John Slidell, of Louisiana, has been appointed Commissioner of the Confederate States to France, and that Hon. James M. Mason, of Virginia, has been deputed as Commissioner to England. We learn that those gentlemen, with their Secretary of Legation, and their families, have some days ago sent forward their baggage and will soon set out themselves to the courts which they have been deputed. We hear that they will take the route by Tampico, and cross the ocean on one of the British steamers that mode of transit being the only one of absolute security for them open.

H. Toone, Pennington, is also taking in cargo for Tampico or Matamoras, of the same description, and will be ready for sea on Wednesday next, the 25th, and she will attempt to pass the block-ading squadron at or near Ship Island.--She will have as passengers Mr. Arnat, merchant of New Orleans, owner of the cargo, and others at present unknown. The British schooner Parliament, Gladding, master, is loading for Savannah — her cargo chiefly coffee; will take arms if they can be procured and put on board without passing through the Custom-House.
