the 10Th utimo.
The Censor Of the 2lst contains letter from Mate-
moras of the OH, which announces that the texan
schooner, Santa Anna had arrived there, having on
board Mr. Goan n Mexican officer, who had carried
dispatches from Santa Anna The President OF Texas,
and returned with the answer The writer OF the let
ter SAYS he is very busy translang this answer
and that he has time only say, that 1t 10 very salts

ers will be at Laredo the 25th Of September, From
tier own where the conditions and duration OF the ar
mistce will be arranged.

and in all the departments heard from, except vera
Cruz the Santa Anna party had lost the day So says
the New Orleans Bee; but the Courier, on the other
hand, says there is nothing positive on the SUBJECT
and that it is difficult TO torn an opinion from THIS
first essay, as the elections have three grades
