New Orleans Delta. it would seem that the
elements of internal commotion are still at
work in the Republic of Mexico, and that
she is on the eve Of another change in her
government Rumors of rebellion, or in
tended rebellion, are continually arriving
at the capital, from the provinces, and even
IN the city Of Mexico the administration Ct
Herrera and the population are kept in con-
tinual alarm. by the evil disposed, who are
actively employed in preparing the down
fall Of the present rulers. 1t is stated that
all classes are thoroughly disguised with

Ell Arco Iris, of the 1lth inst, says that
Santa Anna had written to his friends by
the last steamer the Fourth, protesting that

morning Of the 10th, stating that pronun-

pendenee of the State, and its annexation to
the United States. Ell Arco Iris states that
it is a positive. Three hundred stands Of
arms were Immediately embarked on ves-
sci at Vera Cruz, and despatched to Tam
pico. This event, it adds, will prove un-
toward for the government, through the

sacrifices be made, and two or three vessels
armed, when communication being cut off
by sea, and vigorous attack by land,
fresh dismemberment of the Republic may
be prevent ed. 1t is believed at Vera Cruz
