ana who gives as much interesting inlor-
NATION not 10 be obtained from the Mexi- |
can papers. He says that a proposition !
was actually made in Congress-, a few ,
days before be left, TO declare war AGAINST
the United States, on the ground of the
occupation Of Nacogdoches and assistance
rendered the Texans.
The proposition was under discussion
when he lett; the result Of course he does
not know, but the better opinion was that
it wodld be rejected by large majority,
all the reasonable members and officials
being opposed to it, such as Tornel, Ala
ty to the United States is among the priests
and their partizans.
Our informant was in the city of Mexi-
co when Bustanente arrived; no rejoic
ings took place, and his reception so far
from being enthusiastic, was not even cor
dial. The affections of the people, gen.
orally, in the capital and throughout the
country, are strongly fixed on Santa An
ma, and our informant says there is no
doubt the moment he appears. all party
strife will subside, and all voices will unite
in one glad shout Of welcome.
Bustamente has no chance of being
elected to the presidency. The elections
! of Ayuntamientos-similar to our charter
elections-were deferred in October or
November, by the Congress the object
was undoubtedly to give Santa Anna the
benefit of farther time, it being very doubt
full then whether he would be liberated {;
and our informant says if he Santa Anna)
does not arrive in season, the presidential
election itself will in all probability be
deferred SO unwilling are they to elect
Bustamente, even as an alternative.
Our informant thinks that Santa Anna
will set himself against the priests whenev-
or he can do so with safety, and that he is
sincerely DESTROYS 10 unite all conflicting
Interests and opinions, and establish gov
eminent that shall advance the welfare of
the country. Bot he had great Difficult
ties to contend with in Congress, which is
composed principally Of priests and their
partizans, and it is proba bIe that he will
be compelled to yield in many things to
. their influence against his own inclina
t lions.
Our informant says that the English in
f fuence is very powerful in Mexico, esPe
cialIy with the government, and that this
influence is exceedingly hostile to Texas
: and 10 its incorporation with the United
States.
