A friend has politely furnished our
NetuS Room with file of New
Orleans papers from 30th June TO lllh
August inclusive-they contain very
late and interesting Intelligence from
Mexico, for part OF which We can only
find in to days paper, Beacon. We
extract from the Mercantile Advert
ser ofthc 9Th inst. letter dated Balize,
Aug. ith, confirmatory Of the account
gwen in the letter from Havana OF 10Th
inst. published Ivy us on Saturday, of
the A ASSASSINATION of Ii UR-
BIDE, and Italian who accompanied
him in the character Of a General, on
the ooh July, at Padilla. This ac-
count is more circurnstantlal and seems
entitled to credit, coming direct from
the place where he landed, and being
given on the authority OF two gentle.
men known to the writer.
The Louisiana Advertiser of 10Th
inst. states that capt. Richie, Of the U
s. scI,r. F'oG arrived at the B4iize
7lh inst. had imnunicated the same
intelligence, having no doubt OF its
correctness
10 the Louisiana Advertiser of l1th
inst. we find very interesting letter
from General Santa Anna to the Sec
rotary of State in Mexico, copied from
the" Sun Of Yucatan" OF 18th July,
but being more than three columns In
length, we are compelled to lay it
yer until our next. The Advertiser
prefaces the letter with the following
re marks:
we republish TO day letter from
Gen. Santa Anna 10 the Secretary of
State in Mexico This officer was
sent nv the Gen Government OF the
Mexican States to queil the dislur

tan From the general character of
Santa Anna, the manner IN which he
has executed his commission, or rather
the total neg iect of the means OF exc
cutting il, s. the fimsy arguments made
use of by han 10 justify bus conduct,
we are induced to believe that he me-
ditates some project inimlcal 10 the fed
eral union. Whether 1t be success
sion from the union and the erection OF
an in dependent State under his auspi-
ces. or that he is acting 10 competition
with the partIzAns OF lturblde or those
of the Spanish monarchy, time will
decide - The resignation OF Taviaro,
and the election OF Santa Anna as go
vernon of Yucatan, shows that he is
acting 10 concert with the Legislature,
who, by their previous measures, have
manifesteda strong disposition to with
draw themselves tlom the dominion of
the General Government, which their
isolated position will enable them to
accomplish without much difficulty.
The commercial conneXion with Ha
vana is in the mean time continued"
