Our fetGia0n 3pllb lHeTlc0.-lt has
come TO our knowledge, and from source
on Wbichwe can rely, that our Minister lc
Mexico Gov Sbannon] has noticed the
Mexican government, some weeks since
that any attempt on their part 10 invade
Texas by land. or any offensive operations
by sea (having particular reference, no
doubt, to The movements of the Mexican
Steamers recently repaired at New Y ork)
would be considered by our government
as just cause for armed interference; that
force would, in that case, be used for the
protection OF Texas. II is further stated
thai Gov. Shannon was in expectation OF
The reception of his passports, as the con-
sequence of having made this communica-
tiun, but had not received them, or and
or any response 10 his Official note, at the
time our informant left. 1t is supposed
that the bearer of dispatches who recently
passed through The country on his way to
Washington was charged with matters in
relatiouto The subject.
Since the abnve was written, New Or
leans papers have been received. contain
ing accounts of The arrival of a British
frisate al that part, bringing advices COM

LATER FROM MEXICO.
Important intelligence. BY the arrival at
the Southwest Pass of The English lrigate
Spartan. the Hon. Capt. Elliot, comman-
der, which vessel sailed from Vera Cruz
on the Eth inst, we have intelligence Is
days Iaer from Mexico.
Capt Elliot, with several of his officers,
came up from the Balize yesterday, and
has taken lodgings CT the 81. Charles Flo.
tel. We understand Thai the Spartan
brought dispatches for The English Gov
ernment. aud in the present critical state
of Mexican affairs they are doubles of
great importance.
The city was ri!e with rumo.s yesterday
morning, 10 The effect Thai our Minister TO
Mexico the Hon. Wilson Shannon. had
demanded his passports aud was on his
way home and also serious revolution
had broken out in Mexico which had re-
sulled in the overthrow Of Santa Anna.
There certainly was some foundation for
this starting intelligence; but the news
does uol turn out as important as was at
first reported. although slill.of-a-momen:
iou, nature. afi
To commercial house OF this city we
were lasl evening indebted for full files of
the Daro del Gnbierno and FL Sigio
Dez Nlevo up 10 The l2lh inst. We
give as much uf the news as we can fnd
room for.
1t would appear. from such Of the pub
lisheh correspondence as we have seen in
the Diaro, that on the 'lsl ull. Governor
Shannon addressed letter 10 The Mexi-
can, Government, protesting against the
proposed invasion of Texas by Mexico.
and especially against The manner IN which
the invasion was to be made. To this
the Minister Of Foreign affairs replied
1--WE have moi seen his communcation)-
denying The right of the United States Of
any other foreign government to interfere
in The internal affairs Of The republic.
Gov. Shannon in answer, characterizes
the Secretary's letter as being grossly Of
fensive, inaslnuch as il charges the United
Slales, its government and people with
lalsehood, lrickery intrigue aud designs
of the must dishono.able character, Cover
nor Shannon alleges that the note OF. the
Secretary is so gross in lis character, so
offensive thai he eau only demand that it
be at once Withdrawn.
The Mexican Minister replies with the
utmos, warmth. He treats the earlier
part Of llr. Shannou's correspondence as
being supercilous and offensive jusrifies all
that be has himself written, protests that
the Mexican government has done, and is
doing all hat il can topreveDt rupture
with the United States, but that it is'neces-
sary for his government to speak out plain
ly before the world. He therefore de-
ciines to withdraw the note. z
From the tone o! his letter, it is evident
enough that the Mexican Minister is of
the opinion thai Mr.. Shannon does not
speak The sentimenlssofia majority Of the
people oflhe Unled .StaiesEiu relation 10
the Texas question:. He considered. too.
that our recent Presidential contest must
have resulted in The electian Of Mr.. Clay,

Adams, and The United States Senalen

Tyler's administration alone responsible
for The present complication Of affairs be.

result of Mr.. Folks election may have in
