FuRrHER.-The correspondent Of the Picaypne
gives the following account of attempt at nsurrec
ton in the city of Mexico.
TN Monday last the commnnder-in-chief was in
formed OF a movement designed here, TO attack the
quarters OF the officers OF the army and possible 10
take them prisoners or kill them. The plan was that
the population, so much OF Il could be induced
20 take part IN the conspiracy, should rise, and as
sisted by body OF guerras which were 10 enter the
city at certain hour, make the attack During the
day the COMMUNICATIVE chief informed all the chief Of
hcers OF the intended attack, designated rallying
points for the different regiments, and made every
disposition necessary 10 defeat the Instruction. Al
night scarcely Mexican 10 be seen in the street
showing that the whole population had u knowl-
edge OF what was 70 DO attempted. The precauton
adopted IL is supposed prevented attempt 10 exc
cute the plan. The projectors OF the instruction were
either blind TO the effects Of their plan or oreseeing
them, must have been utterly reckless the conse
quences which would result 10 their own countrymen
for II the attempt had been made, there is not Off
Ger in the army not excepting the commandments
HIMSELF who could have restrained the troops from
sacking the city. During the night Lieut.. Baker OF

in the southeastern part OF the city, one Of which
containing one hundred stand of arms which he cap
tured, the other he unable TO come up with before il
was placed in concealment. Whether Gen Scott has
the names of the parties who originated the plot or
not, do not know; but il Is pretty well understood
that the chief consprators among the soldiers of
the Mexican army who assumed citizens dress when
our army entered the city, and have remained here
since. A few days may reveal more in relation to the
matter.
