LATER FROM MExlco.-By the arrival OF the
| ship Tippecenoe Yesterday, says the New orleans
Picavune Of the 18th, we received files OF MeXcan
journals and our own private correspondence seven
teen davs later The most notable incident which
we find in them is a pretended attempt OF certain
Texans 10 assassinate Santa Ana. 1t was asserted
that he,. had come over from New Orleans with the
ostansible purpose Of digging for large amount OF
cold said to be buried on the estate oi Santa Ana,
but that their real purpose was to assassinate NM
| while taking his morning ride through his grounds.
Various arrests were made consequence: Dut that
| which most enruged the ceilings OF the Americans,
was the imprisonment of Captain Place by order OF
Santa Ana, for the purpose OF taking his declaration
concerning the money-Seekers, he being supposed 10
know them as he came passenger IN the same YES
sci with them. Upon learning of his incarceration,
! cur Consul offered security for the captain forth
coming but this was refused and he was detained IN
prison for eight or Ten days At last after undergo
ing slight examination he was set at liberty. The
| whole story OF the projected ASSASSINATION would
appear 10 be a hunlbug.
Nothing farther was known at Vera Cruz al the
end of last month"; in regard to the difficulties OF
Mexico with the English, but merchants were look
ing daily for the arrival of British fleet contract
is said 10 have been entered into by the Mexican
Government with u house at Vera Cruz for the con-
sruction III New-Iork of twelve Sun-boats OF fifty
tons each and orders it is asserted by the
Ann Louisa, for the immediate equipment of TWO OF
them. Is the money is forthcoming for the rest OF
them they, too, will doubt be at once built. 1t
is said that these boats are to be used for the defence
of Vera Cruz against the English in case they should
| follow the example of the French and attack San
| Juan d'J'l!oa Some folks in Vera Cruz fancy that
will be lucky for those by whom these gun-boats
will be manned, if the English should anticipate
| their arrival
A letter is published from the Commanding Gen
era OF Upper California, the redoubtable Manuel
| Micheltorena, of Monterey and Com. Jones memory,
dated October 20, IN which he announces the arrival
there OF the u. s. irigate Constellation, Com. kear-
ncv, of which we last heard at the Sandwich ISL
ands. The Commodore and his officers paid visit
of respect to the General, and most graciously
received by him. The General subsequently, visited
the ship upon invitation Of the Commodore. The
| Constellation sailed for the South the 29th OF
October, and now, we presume, has ended all the
III feeling growing out of Com Jones's rather sum-
mary seizure OF Monterey.
