the manifestation of stronger tone, and more in

TOO. that England has been advising and pushing
on in her designs upon Texas, or at least in OPP
position to our scheme Of annexation. We take
Tor granted, that John Bull has had his finger
in he recent correspondence between our Minis

with the departure OF the Woodbury., shows the
deep interest which her Minister has taken in the

LATER FROM MEXICO.
IMPORTANT lNrELLioEScs.-By the arrival at
tie Southwest Pass OF the English irigate Spar
tan, Hob. Cap. Elliot. commander, which vessel
, sailed from Vera Cruz on tie .1,h inst we have
intelligence lllecn Gays later from Mexico.
Cart. Elliot, with several OF his Officers, came
up from the Balizc yesterday, and Gas taken lodg-
l;.gs al the 81. Charles Hotel. We understand
thai The SPARTA. brought dispatches from the En-
gli>h Government, and in the present critical
state %. Mexican affairs they arc doubtless OF srca,
imroItance.
The civ was rife with rumors Yesterday morn
Ing Ia if effect that oGr minister To Mexico, the
Hon. Wilson Shannon, had demanded his pass
rorts ai.d was on lis way home and also that
serious revolution had broken out in Mexico
which hid resulted III the overthrow OF Santa
Anna. There certainly was some foundation
Tor this startling intelligence; bnt the news does
no, turn OIL as important as was at first reported,
although sill ola momentous nature
Toa commercial house Of this city we wero

ca I find room for.

correspondence as We nave seen in the Diario.
that on the :'.Sl :liino Coz. Shannon addressed a
letter 10 The Mexican Government, protesting
against the proposed invasion Of Texas by MeI-
co, and especially against The manner in which
tie invasion was 10 be made To this The Minis

cretarys letter as being grossly offensive, mas
much as il charges the United STATES, lis Govern
ment and people, with ialschood ,rickery intrigue
and designs Of the NOS, dishonorable CHARACTER
Gov. Shannon alleges that the note of the Secre
tary is so gross in It's character 50 offensive that
he can only demand that it I've al once withdrawn
The Mexican minister replies with the utmost
"a NJ
mons correspondence as being supcrciious and
offensive, jusli!ics all that he has himself written
protests that the Mexican Government, has done
and is doing ali that il can TO prevent rupture
with The United States, but that affairs have reach
cd such crisis that il is necessary for his Gov
crnment 10 speak ont plainly before the world
He therefore declines 10 withdraw the note.
From The tone OF this letter it is evident enough
that the Mexican Minister is Of The opinion that
Mr.. Shannon does not speak the sentiments Of
majority Of the people Of the United States in
relation 10 The Texas question. He considered,
too. that our recent Presidential contest must
have resulted in the election of Mr.. Clay, and
he speaks of that gentleman, Mr. Adams and
the L. States Senate in terms The most dainty,
while he holds Mr.. Tylcr'S administration alone
responsible for the present complication of al
fairs between tho two countries. What effect
the result OF Mr.. Folks election NAV have in
Mexico we are unable TO say
From the officers of the Spartan, We learn
that Gen. Duff Green had arrived al Vera Cruz
from the city Of Mexico with dispatches for our
Government, and embarked Immediately on
board the cutter Woodbury.. The w sailed for
Pensacola on the l7ili-the day oil sailing Of The
Spartan. The dispatches OF Gen. G.. are
thought 10 be Of the greatest importance.
So far as we can learn from 4 most hasty pc
rusal Of our files, disturbances have broken oat
in the State of Jalisco, The capital of which is
Guadalajara. Gen. Pcrcdcs appears 10 be al
the head of the movement, and The affair Is evil
