papers TO the 18th. The Presidential election,

| Articles of accusation were preferred In the Le'
gslaurc of Vera Cruz against General Santa .Anna,
whereupon he was suspended from his government
by the act of the Legislature, and Ignacao de Mora

this measure, transmitting h:mselfo 81 Mora, by the
orders ofthe government, and only asking speedy
Inquiry.
In the preliminary elections in Oajaca, parties
were so exasperaed that they came to blows: the
military were called In, and several persons were
killed and wounded.
We do not find in the Vera Cruz papers any al
fusion to Santa Anna having taken up arms, though
the country seems in state of anarchy Pedraras
election is ascribed to the gold and nrigues OF the
old Spaniartls. The charges against Mr. Polnsett
of interfering in the elections, are, we venture to
t say, wholly groundless
