Later from Mexico. The government organs after boldly denying the rebellion of General Alvarez, are now compelled to acknowledge the fact. These people are equally immoderate in flattery and in censure. I am inclined to think this revolt the commencement of a general pronunciamento. Discontent prevails universally; the people are crushed by taxation; commerce languishes; and the Indians, who are generally indifferent as to their masters, are exasperated at the forced levies made amongst them, and the burdens imposed on them. How patient soever a nation may be, when they perceive that their rulers are at once despotic, stupid and cowardly, they need but a slight impulse to drive them to resistance. The movement has begun, and it may end in a general revolution.

Political persecution continues on an extensive scale. Messrs. Luis de la Rosa, Munos, Ledo, Ortega, Buenrostro, and other influential members of the moderate party have been recently exiled. Luis de la Rosa, a sickly and quiet gentleman, is banished, with many friends, to Yucatan, the Cayenne of Mexico. Haro y Tamariz, minister of finance of H. S. H., was sent for at the National Palace yesterday, and it is rumored that he will be expelled from the republic. The cause of his disgrace is the defection of his friend and parasite Comonfort, governor of Acapulco, who has declared for Alvarez, and been appointed by that chief governor general of the southern coast.

It is said that if Alvarez should be hard pressed by Santa Anna, he will apply for aid to Walker's expedition. The loyalty of Mazatlan is suspected, and the merchants of that city are accused as secretly conniving at the movements of the filibusters. I am in expectation of soon hearing that Sinaloa and Sonora have revolted. Mr. Almonte will reach New Orleans by the Texas. It is said he has successfully fulfilled the mission entrusted to him, and removed all objections urged by the American cabinet to the Gadsden treaty. Only let your Senate remember that Santa Anna wants money, and that he is ready to make any sacrifice for the attainment of that grand desideratum. March 4.
