MEXICO AND THE GULF.

WASHINGTON, Nov. &c.
Information has reached here in such a
form as to place the fact beyond question
that large number of Mezicans residing in
Sanora have entered into league to revolu-
tionize that State with view to its annexa-
ton to the United States.
A dispath from Mobile states that much
excitement still exists in that city, growing
out of the refusal to grant clearance to the
Alice Painter. The Secretary of State had
not as reported demanded an explanation of
the Spanish minister concerning the object of
that government in sending an armed force
against Mexico, although a private interview
was requested by Mr.. Cass, on it is supposed
that subject.
