Intelligence has been received from Mexico to the 24th of
February. The republic continues still in a very unsettled
state, which the President appears to have convinced himself
of, from having had several pieces of cannon planted on and
near the convent in which he resides, as a personal safe-
guard against the revolutionary movement, said by every one
to be at hand. The policy of the long-talked-of invasion of
the Texian shores by Mexico, is elucidated in one of our
letters thus :—" I am informed by a gentleman connected
with the seat of government, that Santa Anna's party have
been urging another attack on Texas, and recommended that
Bustamente should command the expedition. But the Pre-
sident has scented out their object, believed to be, that an
advantage of his absence would be taken for to seize upon
the capital."
The high road from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico is in-
fested more than ever with robbers, so much so, that there is
no possibility of passing without being robbed, unless with a
very strong escort. The merchants complain of commerce
being nearly at a stand still; the smaller establishments can
barely clear their expenses. Tampico is full of soldiers, and
with only provisions enough to last four days, and no money ;
giving rise to fears (at the packet's sailing) that they may
become desperate and pillage the town. The British con-
sul, Mr. Crawford. it is reported, will come to England per
next packet. From Havannah we find that the new gover-
nor, Valdez, had given great satisfaction. The Comus was
at Vera Cruz collecting government money for the West
