Important from Mexico.—The New Orleans Picayune says that the several large and influential parties in Mexico are plotting for a change in the government. One party wishes to join Mexico once more to Spain, and counts upon Spanish troops and authorities in Cuba for assistance. Another party, that of the manufacturing interests, is trying quietly and slowly to get up a feeling in favor of the return of Santa Anna to power. There is still another party, and but a feeble one, in favor of immediate annexation to the United States.
