FROM MEXICO

The N. o. Picayune of the 18th has advic from
the city of Mexico to the 4th inst. The intelligence
affords abundant evidence of the disaffected state
of the country, notwithstanding the rigor with
which Santa Anna endeavors to sustain himself
In our last intelligence from Mexico we an.
nounced that it was believed that the Government
was about to send down troops to Acapulco in or.
der to provide for its protection against ancipa-
ted attack by Count Rousset de Boulbon. 1t ap-
pears that the I'd Battalion of Puebla was ordered
to proceed for that purpose and garrison the port,
while the 1lth Regiment of the line was ordered to
post as reserve in the city of Bravos
& The establishment OF dock yard there was also
resolved on, and repairs to the buildings at an ex-
pense OF ST., 600 were to be undertaken. And ul-
tmately aforce of 1000 men were to be posted for
the protection of the whole coast from Lower Cal.
ifornia to Acapulco, with all necessary provisions
All these fine propositions, however, appear to
have been nipped in the lbud Don Juan Alvarez,
who seems to be an independent mountain chief,
reigning supreme within the empire of the illus.
trious Santa Anna, has refused to allow the troops
destined for the protection of Acapul . to nva le
his territory-the mountainous region lround Aea-
puco-for the purpose of reaching their destina-
ton! He has raised his standard, andled band of
mountaineers against Santa Annals troops, calling
on them to prevent .heir approach to Acapulco :
The be is alleged to assign for this
that in fact the forces sent thither with the
object of assassinating him and all the patriots on
their route, for the purpose of reintroducing the
plan OF lgudIa anu lne treaties OF COTQODd. But
these reasons, must be recolected are given for
him, not by himself All that we may rely upon
is, that he is opposed to Santa Annals Govern
ment and we may infer, with no little probabili
ty, that he is likely to aid others who are so, pos.
sibly Walker or de Boulbon In ths meantime it
is announced that, for the purpose of overcoming
him. the Supreme Government has sent 1000 men
to the city Bravos, and prepared, it is said,
to send 10000 or 10000 more, and with all neces-
sary provisiensl How important the movement
of Alvarez is thought may be gathered from these
few facts.
Thus briefly noticed, that circumstance alone
would go some way towards illustrating the dis.
affection existing in this coutry but it is only one
of several afforded by the papers before u.s. The
port of Acapulco has been declared closed to COM
merce. -tfss-t
It has been proposed--but the Trait d Union pro-
nounces it ane idis bezarre-to call the country Ia
Republiea Hurbidta. Seeing the cock fighting ruler
at its head, Chckabiddya" would pc rhaps be an
appropriate epithet for it. at least for the present
A curious mistake has just happened to the in
habitants of Cuidad Victoria. They have as civil
and Military Governor, Gen. Wool. They lately
heard that Gen. Wool had been appointed to take
charge of the troops on the Pacific station, forth
with got up petition to Santa Anna, praying him
not to remove their beloved General to take com
mand of any troops anywhere out of the jurisdic-
ton in which they dwelt.
