The Editor Of the New Orleans Picay.
uuc has obtained from Mr.. DIMoND, our
late Consul at Vera Cruz, who sailed from
thal city in the United States steamship
Mississippi on the 30th nlt.,) the following
intelligence IN relation to the public affairs
Of Mexico:
Mr.. DImond informs US that Santa An.
mas arrival was daily expected by ,mauy
persons in Vera Cruz, and that the country
vas ripe for his reception. A plan Of a
new revolution had been published, based
upon The constitution Of 1927, upon which
II was supposed the Federal and the Santa
Anna parties would unite. The Federal.
lists were unable to make head against the
Government by themselves; but when JOIN.
ed by Santa Annals adherents, the success
Of the two combined could be scarcely
doubted. In this plan the Texas question
was slurred over-nothing being said about
IT, Mr.. Dimond thought it quite probable
that Santa Anna and Almonte would arrive
at Vera Cruz by the next steamer from
llayana-this, however, was doubted by
some well Informed parties.
