ANNA.

The mail from New Orleans arrived yesterday with papers
from that city of the 20th instant, in which we find news from
Mexico of the 13th inst.
If the reports that have reached New Orleans be true,
Santa Anna has been defeated, captured, and is now a pri-
soner, where he was lately almost a dictator.
The diplomatic corps, with the French Ambassador, Baron
Alley de Cypre, at their head, offered their congratulations to
General Herrera, on the 15th inst.
General Cortezar, who, it will be recollected, deserted from
Santa Anna at Celaya, the latter has at last entrapped by an
act of audacious treachery, and at last accounts held him
prisoner.
Mr. Shannon, the Minister, has been more at ease since the
Minister of Foreign. Affairs, Rejon, fled from Mexico. He
meets now more goodwill and a franker intercourse with the
new Government. So does the French Minister, too, and it
is supposed that many of the difficulties with foreign powers
will be settled to the satisfaction of all.
There is no news of importance from Canada.
(FURTHER EXTRACTS.)
It will surprise no one that Pennsylvania Fives have fallen
to-day 11/ per cent. The highest quotation is 70%. This
stock stood yesterday at 72.
Money is in considerable demand—and the banks are cau-
tious—yet while the legal rate of discounts is fully kept up,
it is difficult to put out money on good mortgages at six per
cent.
Exchange on England is somewhat lower, although some
bills still command 10i. The rate, however, may be quoted
from 94 to 10.
Of the Cotton market, the circulars we annex give full in-
formation.
We have dates of 21st from New Orleans, and 22d from
Mobile, which speak of more active business in both markets
for Cotton, at somewhat improved prices.
The question of establishing a Territorial Government in
Oregon is now occupying the House of Representatives.
On one point, all parties in this country are agreed, that
Oregon is ours, and we must have it. Now, then, the only
practical question is as to how and when. Whether the ne-
gotiation with Mr. Pakenham has led to anything in the way
of amicable arrangement, or is a failure, will soon be known,
as the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations in
the House of Representatives, announced some days ago that
a communication on that subject would be made by the
President before adjournment, which must take place on 4th
March.
We trust that moderation and a due respect to peace will
prevail on both sides. The best turn, probably, that could
be given to the subject at present, would be that Congress
should direct the President to give to the British Government
the twelve months' notice required by the Convention be-
tween the two countries, and then at the next session deter-
mine about a territorial government, limits, &c.
