From Mexico.
From the N. o, Picayane, 18th.


We received Yesterday files of papers from
Tampico to the 25th, and from the city OF Mexico
to the 18th ut being eighteen days later than our
previous advlces -,
The returns of the election for President, which
had lust been held, were beginning to come IN
pretty freely 1t was not known positively who
was elected though the chances appear to us TO
be in favor of Arsta, though the DefenS0r OF am
pico considers Almontes election certain. Arls-
Ia, though supported by the whole Government
influence, did not poll near strong vote as nad
been expected. Aguascalientes and some other
places voted for Santa Anna. Arsta carried the
State Of Tamaulipas, and probably San LUIS 70
tosi The State OF Mexico has probably voted Tor
Almonte Michoacan went for Gomez Pedraza
Gen. Bravo and Riva Palacio received strong
support in many places.
The returns so far look very confused, and 1t is
not possible to tell who is elected. The vote IS
given by States and the right OF suffrage is eX.
taemely limited. Should Almonte be elected, IL
will be a triumph of the extreme Federal or Dem
ocratic party, the pur0StTaHdd0S, as they are
called Arista and Rosa belong TO the M !I
Republican school of politics. W neither the cleo
tion will result in a revolution or Pronunctamehto
remains to be seen, though Judging from the past
history of Mexico. such an event woGld not Dc az
all improbable. 1t has been sand that Arlsta
would not abide by the election OF Almonte, Doe
would in such a case endeavor to secure the lnue-
pendence of the Northeastern States under tne
name of the Republic of the Sierra Madre. Arls-
IA "a very popular in all that section OF country,
but as those States, viz: Tamaullpas, Coahulla
and New Leon have always adhered to the red
eral party in order to make head against the great
influence of the capital and the Central Depart
ments, they would have great reason to com
plain Of the election of Almonte, identified as he
is with their principles.
The 10th of Sept the great Mexican anniversary,
was celebrated with great pomp,
The Mexican Government has taken the alarm
at the movements of the Indians on the North
eastern frontier AriSta, the Secretary OF w ar,
has issued kind of general order, in which he al
ludes to the treaty of Guadalupe as binding the
United States to keep the savages from making
incursions into the Mexican Territory. he then
says that tho United States is engaged IN driving
the Indians out OF all that Territory winch former
ly belonged to Mexico, and that the elected savaSes
will come within the Mexican limits, and, after
getting foothold under pretense of amiable in
tentions will vent their ferocity upon the defense
less inhabitants. On this account no Indians are
ON any account to be permitted to cross the from.
tier In another document Arista quotes the
words of the treaty, and calls the President to
bring II TO the notice tthe United States in order
that our Government may comply with its obliga.

The Monitor Repubiicaao, the official organ of
the Mexican Government, alludes to the state
ment that in April last an agent of the Southern
States visited that capital ncognito, in order to
propose plan of confederation between Mexico
and the Southern States The Monitor denies on
authority this statement, asserting that it is false
from beginning to end that the Government was
unaware even of the existence OF such an agent !;
that consequently the plan alluded to never was
proposed to the Mexican Cabinets was never dis,
oussed therein and that the British Minister new
er has addressed word to the Mexican Govern
ment on such a subject. Thus this wonderful
story falls to pieces.
The Governor of the State of Chihuahua sends
