LATER FROM MEXICO

The New Orleans papers of the 18th
instant announce the arrival of the steam
ship Delas, with papers from the city Of
Mexico to the 9Th Of March, and from
Vera Cruz to the 9th. s-sf 4
The Mexican papers afford abundant
evidence of the disaffected state of the
country, Notwithstanding the rigor with
which Santa Anna endeayors to sustain
himself,
In our last intelligence form Mexico we
announced that it was believed that the
Government was about to send down
troops to Acapulco, in order to provide
Tor its protection against an anticipated
attack by Count Rousset de Boulbon. 1t
appears that the I'd Battalion of Puebla
was ordered to proceed for that purpose,
and garrison the port, while the 18th
Regiment of the line was ordered to post
as reserve in the city of Braves.
The establishment of a dock-yard there
was also resolved on, and repairs to the
building at an expense of $72,00O were
to be undertaken. And ultimately a
force of 1000 men was to be posted for
the protection of the whole cost from
Lower California to Acapulco, with all
necessary provisions.
Reports from half dozen departments
report all quiet in them. Yucatan has at
length sent in her adhesion.
DEGREES pour out with overwhelming
continuity. Wecan only briefly refer to
some OF them. One prohibits the impor-
tatlon into any ports Of tbe Republic OF

All these fine propositions, however,
appear to have been nipped in the bud.
Don Juan Alvarez, who seems to be an
independent mountain chief, reigning SUI
preme within the empire of the illustrious
Santa Anna, has refused to allow the
troops destined for the protection of AGA
pulco to invade his territory-the noun.

purpose of reaching their destination
He has raised his standard, and led a
band of mountaineers against Santa
Annals troops, calling on them to pre-
vent their approach to Acapulco. The
reasons he is alleged to assign for this
course are that, in fact, the forces are
sent thither with the object of assassi.
mating him and all the patriots on their
route, for the purpose of reintroducing the
plan of lguala and the treaties of Cordoba.
But these reasons, it must be recollect-
ed, are given for him, not by himself
All that we may rely upon is, that he is
opposed to Santa Anna s Government:
and we may infer, with no little proba-
bility, that he is likely to aid others who
are so, possibly Walker or de Boulbon.
In the meantime it is announced that, for
the purpose of overcoming him, the Su-
prcme Government has sent 1000 men
to the city of Braves, and are prepared,
it is said, to send 10000 or IL 900 more,
and with all necessary provisions How
important the movement of Alvarez is
thought may be gathered from these few
facts. lsalfE -- -ae.L ez
