MORE TROUBLES IN MExIco-There is CON-
siderable anxiety in Mexico, caused by the
confirmation Of Gen. Marques escape 10 Ha-
Nana, and the rumors that he proposes 70 set
on foot armed expeditions against Mexico Re-
ports OF trouble with the United States are also
IN circulation. These rumors have resulted in
the arrest Of twenty foreigners and Mexicans
Gen. German, an American, has been ordered
10 leave Mexico. He demanded the inter-
ference of Mr.. T.. W. Plumb American Charge
d. Afaires. In Guerrero matters are bad
enough. Gen. Arce has left the capital with a
serting his authority. The Mazatlan Herald
special correspondent writing under date of
February 20, states that a battle had taken
place on the 18th between the troops Of Gov.
Rubi and those of Gen. Martinez The troops
of Gov. Rubi amounted TO about y; they were
routed. Gen. Toledo, with 500 men, is moving
against Aragones, who has only 100 a OOPS.

pointment of Minister 20 the United states, IL

LIVELY TIMES In MEXICO.

The Late Conspiracy-Spanish Officers
lmPlicated-Santa Anna, Marquee and
others instigate it-Some OF the Leaders
to be Shot-A Plot to get Possession of
Vera Cruz, &c.
HAVANA, March F.-Several Spanish Of.
hcers In the Mexican service have been impli-
Gated In the late conspiracy. The plan was
connected with Santa Anna, Marquee, Zulo-
aga and others, and had for its object TO pro.
claim for Ortega. Some Of them will probably
be shot.
A forewarning has reached the Mexican
Government of the plot to blockade and get
possession of Vera Cruz. President Juarez
will probably send a commission to Gen. Ler.
sundi, asking MIN to observe the neutrality
laws.
The Mexican Congress has passed another
appropriation for the redemption of the Eng
llsh, Spanish and internal bonds Of the public
debt: the amount is S55,o00, and is to be put
up at two separate auctions.
