| LATER FROM MENIco.--By the arrival of the
barquc Floyd, from Havana, at New York, the
Sun announces the receipt of Havana papers
to the 9TH of November, with adviccs from We
ra Cruz to the 1st These advccs were brought
by the British mail steam packet Tay, which
arrived at Havana on the 9th, having on board
IO2 passengers, an unusual number, supposed
TO indicate that many, either McXlcans or for
eign residents, are leaving Mexico to escape
the dangers of the war. One of the passen-
gers was Scnor Felix Rivas, bound for Eng
land on a mission for the Government of McXl-
CO, supposed to have for its object solicitation
of foreign aid.
We have before mentioned the resignation
of his Office by Scnor Rcjon, the Mexican For
cipn Minister ; it is now added that Scnor Pa
chcco the Minister of Justice, has also resign
cd. The two posts have been filled by the APP
pointmcnt Of Generals Lafragno and Ladron
dc Gcncvara.
The department Of San Luis Potosi is said
TO have declared against the provisional Prcsi-
dent, Gen Salas, demanding that Santa Anna
should be at once invested with supreme pow
or.
Meantime it appears that some real or pre-
tended attempts upon the life of Salas have
been made, in consequence of which he had
left the capital and taken. up his residence at
Tacubaya, with body guard of troops.
The story of the attempted assassination had
been sent post haste to Santa Anna, who made
use of it by publishing letter, translated as
follows -
