Santa Anna arrived at Vera Cruz on the
2Ist of Feb. where he was rather coolly re-
ceived and with no more honors than due
to common Mexican General. lie left

Anastaco Bustamente, 81 votes.
Manuel Gomez Pedrara,
Nicholas Bravo, 3
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
The government stands in contract for
loan of two million of dollars, payable half
in cash, half in paper.
Gen. Bustamente, we are informed by
private letters, had arrived at the Rio del
Norte, where the army is now stationed,
and takes the command in con- JUNCTION with
Bravo.
Santa Anna, on his arrival at Vera Cruz,
addressed the people, and assured them
that his liberation was not owing to bribery,
or to any thing derogatory to the Mexican
people, but purely to the goodness of Gen.
Houston.
The Globe after copying the above, has
the following remarks:
"All the news from Mexico takes a tinge
from the party feeling in the quarter whence
lit originates. The account which strips
Santa Anna of all influence, and which
so readily equips Bustamente 'forl an in
cursion into Texas, in all likelihood pro-
ceeds from some partisan press of the lat
ter. If it be true, however, the campaign
will result in putting down Bustamente and
putting up of Santa Anna.

COPY OF THE TREATY OF PEACE
TALLAHASSEE, March ii, 1887.

FROM the fIoridlan-EXtra.
TALLAHAssE, March ii, 1887.
The Government Express has Just ar
rived from the late seat of war, bringing the
welcome intelligence that peace has again
been restored to Florida. We hasten to
lay before the public the following official
copy of the treaty of captulation.
We are happy to learn that Governor
Call will not, in consequence Of this cheer
intelligence, relax his vigilance in protect
ing the frontier. 4 strong Gordon will be
maintained until the last Indian is beyond
our limits. Indeed, it is to be expected
that few desperadoes, and especially the
Micausky band, will still hold out, notwith-
standing the general capitulation of the ma
ton. 1t is hoped that the counties, hereto
fore so prompt in the discharge of their du-
ties, will forthwith furnish their quotas, ard
not leave a stain on their patriotism on the
eve OF a glorious termination of our difficult
ties

Santa Anna after his arrival, addressed
letter to the President ad interim of Mex
leo, in which he denies, in the most posi-
tive terms, ever having made any arrange
ment, or entered into any condition by
which the Independence of Texas was to
be acknowledged by Mexico, and utterly
disavowing any intention Of giving up Tex
as.
The Globe says Gen. JACKSON reached
Wheeling on the 18th inst. and was recei-
we'd with the greatest enthusiasm by the
people. He embarked on the 10th in a
steamboat, and will, we trust, reach his
beloved Hermitage safely, without being ex-
posed to further fatigue in travelling.
The New Orleans Courier contains n
long account of secret sitting in the Con-
gress of Mexico, in which, among other re-
solutions offered is one declaring that San
ia Anna can in no case resume the exercise
of any command, civil or military. On the
same day that this was offered there ap-
an official note from the Minister of the in
terror, announcing the liberation of His
Ercellency the President of the Republic.
General Santa Anna, and ordering this
happy event to be published with all due
solemnity! If We attend to the resolutions
Santa Anna is deprived of ali power, and
if to the official announcement, he was Pre-
dcnt Of the Republic.
Another expedition against Texas is said
to be preparing, with more caution and bet
ter organised than the last, and the acting
government appears determined to prose-
cute the war with vigor, aud not allow the
dismen,berment of the country.

inst. Mr. May introduced a series OF amend
ments TO the Constitution of the United States,
in substance to prohibit The abolition Of slave
ry in the District Of Columbia, except with the
consent and oil the conditions prescribed by
the legislatures of Maryland and Virginia !;
to prohibit the prohibition Of the domestic
slave trade aud to require Congress TO pass
laws making abolition societies and abolition
publications criminal, to prevent the circua-

to provide for the more speedily retaining Of

these amendments at length TO our readers,
