Sentinel of the valley. [volume] (Woodstock, Va) 1841-1848, 1844-12-26

edes has very powerful support in the
revolted provinces as well as great in
huenee in ongress. We have heard
it rumored that Santa Anna had execu-
ted several officers known to be lea
gued against him; but this we can hard
y credit. In the mean time, we give
a short abstract Of them important
items wesee in our papers.
Santa Anna set out for Gaudaloupe
with the army on the 21st ult from Quer-
etaro. A large division of the troop
had gone in advance Of him, which
was to be reinforced by the garrison
stationed at the city of Mexico. Can
alizo, the provisional president, has re-
moved, it is said, from the capital to
Tacubaya. A second manifesto made
by Gen Paroles has been sent to con,
gress, land ordered TO be printed by that
body. This may be considered an ev-
idence Of the sympathy of congress
with the revolutionary chieftain. Eff
forts Were being made to reconcile the
differences between the executive and
! Legislative powers, by means of friend
| ly conferences.
Gen. Rayes having accompanied
Santa Anna to Queretaro, Gen. Bassa-
dore, it was remored, would take the
portfolio Of the War Department.
Canalizo, on the 10th of November,
laid before the congress, with a view
to its immediate action upon it, mes
sage urging the necessity of taking
measures to quell disturbances and in
sure public tranquility; to consider
the state Of the public treasury with
view to It's Improvements; and to pro-
vide for the strengthening Of the bonds
of amity between Mexico and friendly
powers.
! The PROPOSITIONS imply to our mind
a concession on the part of the Gov
eminent. But it appears that congress
adopted resolution on the 18th ult.,
at the instance under the profered pro-
( lection of Paroles, holding the proyi-
sional government to its responsibility
to the Legislature and the country, &C
cording to the 9th article Of the plan Of
Tacubaya. Senior Reioin, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, the next day protested,
in the name of the government, agains,
the action of Congress, & demonstrated
against the recognition ola right in any
citizens, in open rebellion against the
government, to memorabilia the legis-
lature upon matters of this nature
The protest is followed by an address
to the people of Mexico, issued by
Santa Anna on the 2lst, (the day up
on which he left with the army for
Guadalupe.
This address, which occupies near
ly nine columns in ET Censor Of Yero
Cruz, displays great tact, IS written
with much apparent candor, and
a5ounds in professions of patriotism
and self denial. He reviews the his
tory of Mexico from 1921 to the pres
ent time, and takes for himself sufi-
cient credit for his military and civil
services during that period. He disa-
vows having made any attempt to as
sumo power, dissolve Congress or u
surp the functions ofany of the depart
ments. He even affects to complain
of the load of responsibilities that had
been thrown upon him by the plan of
/ Tacubaya, which left him for time
with the weight of absolute authority
upon his shoulders. He protests that
he has no desire to overthrow the ba-
sis Of Tacubaya. He reiterats his
determination to reconquer Texas-a
subject which is to him, according to
his own expression, exceedingly dolo-
rous doLoroso. He disavows any
misapplication of the public funds, and
ends BY declaring his belief that Prov
idence, seeing the justice Of his cause,
will help him through his trouble and
enable him to achieve the peace and
prosperity Of the country-his own in
Guided. This is about the substance of
what is said in the immense document
before us, when Invested Of the egotism
and pretensions in which it is smother
ed
We see no mention Of the amount
of force under Paroles, the papers be-
ing entirely silent upon that point
