NEWS FROM MEXICO.
LErom che New Orleans Picayune, oct. %

commander. arrived at Ship Island early in the af-
ternoon of Friday, the 2oih INST; She left Tam,
pico on the 18th, and Vera Cruz the 10Th inst and
was at Ship Island one day ahead of her time.
Her passengers came up to town last night. A
hist OF them and statement OF specie brought are
gwen another column Our dates by this ar
rival are TO the 18th from the city of Mexico-a
week later than we received by the Tit.
We have accounts from an intelligent Mexican,
that the 9th of this month was fixed upon for
revolutionary outbreak In the city OF Mexico, OF
which the reputed leaders were Generals Basadre,
Tornel and Almonte.. The government called
out the National Guards from their quarters, and
stationed them IN the plaza and artillery was sta
toned to protect the square on which the palace
fronts The attempt was thus thwarted.
Senores ID. Augustln lturbde and ID. Manuel
Parteanoyo, and many other officers, have been
thrown into PRISON by the government. The OBJ
ject OF the conspirators was to bring back Santa
Anna. All the papers aude to the projects on foot
to enable Santa Anna to resume power, and men
still predict that not two months will elapse before
he is reinstated. Two OF his private Eretaries,
Senores Anillaga and Gener, are net A Mexico,
having proceeded thither on the ls@ : Jage OF the
Forth.
We have no new developeme in regard to
the Tampico movement. The papers treat all the
pretexts of Castillo shallow and contemplate,
regarding his operations part of the Sierra
Madre project, for which some of the papers would
hold General Urea responsible. General Busta
mente is to command the troops which are to at
tempt TO stay the threatened dlsmemberment.
They will amount, IN few days to 1000 men, it
IS said.
The news we gave Yesterday from Yucatan is
confirmed by further arrival at Vera Cruz. Great
fears are expressed lest the Indians should be-
siege and retake the towns of Sotuta and Tekax.
A new tariff has been reported IN the Chamber
OF Deputies OF Mexico, which it Is thought will
be adopted. We have a copy OF 1t, but no time
to examine it before going to press.
The Chamber, acting In Their capacity as grand
jurors, have thrown out charges preferred against
General Arista, the Secretary of War, by large
number of officers.
The war against the government monopoly of
tobacco is still waged with zeal and with pros
poets OF success.
There was a report in Vera Cruz, on the 18th,
that vessel was ashore near Santlagullo. Some
supposed it to be the bark EugenIa. The IT, S.
steamer lying at SACRIFICES went at once to her
assistance.
We find IN the Monitor letter from President
Polk to General Herrera, IN answer to one by the
latter announcing his election to the Presidency.
There Is nothing IN 1t requiring 1t to be trans
lated.
The government is pursuing n course of Sc
verify towards the press though by legal rather
than arbitrary measures. Senior Otero, the MIN
lister OF Relations, directs the prosecutions For
OF the most powerful advocates of its entire
freedom.
Senior Arrangoiz, formerly the Mexican Consul
at this port, has been appointed Secretary of the
Mexican Legation at Washington. This seems to
us judlclous selection on the part of the Mexi-
cans, and one which must be acceptable to Amen-
cans.
We have not yet met in the Mexican papers any
direct lmputation upon the good faith of the GO
vernment of the United States connection with
the Sierra Madre project. Mr.. Clifford, our minis
ter, has assured the Mexican government that
own will oppose the project to the extent of It's
powers. One paper says, God grant that these
repeated professions may be ma de in good faith"
We see occasional accounts IN the papers OF
atrocious crimes committed, but the number OF
crimes seem smaller than usual
The Mexican government mas sent a secret ex-
petition to Tabasco, under command OF the brave
70 nj To- cfpnxu iron
the notorious Miguel Bruno. Marin Is appointed
Commandane General of Tabasco, and sailedfrom
Vera Cruz with command of 200 men on the
steamer Neptune. The whole affair was kept
profound secret until the expedition sailed.
