IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
new YORK, Feb. 1--WE have conversed witt
a Gentleman who arrived from Mexico, in the Ann
Eliza, Yesterday and who gives us much interesting
!, Cor,nation no, TO be Obtained from the MeS'ca"
toners. lie saws that proposition was actually
made in Congress, few days before he 'et' TO de-
clare war against the United States, on the ground
of the occupation of Nacogdoches and assistance
rendered the Texans.
The proposi,on was under discussion when he
left, the result of course he does not know' o". '"e
better opinion was that it would he reec'eo ny 1t
LARGE majority, all the reasonable members ana ON
cials being opposed to it. such as lo'"e ".a'"'",
coros,iza. and others. The hostility to the Onhed
S,a,es is among the priests and their parIzans'
Orr informant was in the city OF Mexico when
8ustamen,e arrived; no rejoicinss took place. ana
his reception so far from being enlhns'asUc' was
no, even cordial The affections OF The people, gen.
erallv. in the capital, and throughout The county,
arc s,ronolv fixed on Santa Ana, and Our informant
s,,s ,here Is no doubt that the moment he appears
all party strife will subslde, and all voices VIII unite
in one glad shout of welcome.
p,.,,re,.e has no chance Of being elected to the
presidency, The elections of Alun''m'en'os-s'n
;,o, IN our charter elections-were deferred III Vc-
,ober or November by the Congress; the ohJeci
was undoubtedly to give Santa Ana the dement, oil
farther time. it being very doubtful then whether he
would be liberated and cur informant says II lie

DENTAL election itself will in all probability be de-
ferred so unwilling they to elect bus'anieh'e'
even as matter Of necessity.
General Bravo had resigned the command OF the
army a third time, owing to disappointment by me

unite all conf citing ine,esis and opinions, and es-
,,b sh a Government that shall advance the welfare
of the country. But he had great difficulties to con-

principally Of priests and their parzans, ana 1t Is
probable thar he i'll be compelled TO yield IN ma
nv things TO their influence against his own ncI'na-
lions.
Our in 'ormant say, that the English lnilu.
cnce is very powerful in Mexico especially
with the Cove, rnmcnt, and that ibis influence
is exceedingly hostile TO Texas and to It's H.

Mr.. Ellis did not come away w,hout his
passports, but they were given 10 him very
ungraciously. After waiting for them ten

fixed for his departure, when all his prepare
tions were made, but our informant thinks
this delay was not owing to their unwlling>
mes S that he should come away, but rather
TO disposition to treat him with ncvIllty.
