New ORLEANS, Dec. 81, 1874.
SrR,- Since my last communicate to you, we
have had an arrival from Vera Cruz, bringing
the important intelligence, ola general revoIu-
ton throughout Mexico, the final overthrow Of
Santa Anna, and the appointment by Congress
on the 7th inst, Of General Heneva as provision
al Of the Republic, with an entire change ofCa"i'
met Ministers. Among the general items of in
formation is the disgust with which the late die
tator Santa Anna is treated. The populace in
the City Of Mexico, took all portraits Of him
from the various public places, and tore them in
to Fragments, then proceeded to the monument
which contained his Leg, which he lost in the
attack Of the French on Vera Cruz, broke the
monument TO pieces and then dragged the poor
embalmed Limb through the streets and high.
ways and committed all indignities, on it. Brave
and magnanimOus people, to glut their vengeance
on mutlated Limb, when they could by lit
tie courage, have obtained the whole Body and
given the head Tyrant's fate. For further in.
formation on the state of affairs refer yon to
papers forwarded by this conveyance.
Our Minister to China, Mr. Gushing, had ar
rived al Vera Cruz via the land route from
Matzalan, on his return from China, he embark
ed at Vera Cruz about the 5th inst for New
York on bis route from Mexico he was robbed
of all his private papers.
The mail of yesterday brought dat9s from
Washington to 2lst inst, Another Bill for the
annexation of Texas was introduced in the
House by Mr.. Weller Of Ohio; and passed at
once through two readings, and referred to the
Committee of the whole by vote OF 1903 to GU. |
This looks as though Bill will pass the House;
il not the Senate.
You will find in the JeRersonian of yesterday |
some very spirited and appropriate remarks on
the factious and vacilatins course, Of Senator
Benton. If the democratic party have not all
vet dropped and abandoned Mr.. Benton, it is
about time it was done; his conduct and action
on the Texas question is sufficient TO consign
him TO contempt and obscurity. ltmay not be
amisS to say that General jackson during hIs
administration, never placed any oD6dence in
Mr.. Bentun ss politician.
Our dates from Washington are to the 2lst
Saturday.; the Sub-Treasury Bill had passed
the House by vote Of 1913 to 81; it is time the
public money was taken from the vaults of bam-
boozlng Banks. The Bill Of course will be de
leated By wing Senate.
The National Inteligencer, ever true in it's op
position to America and American interests,
and one Of whose Editors is Native Of England,
takes the part with Mexico against our Govern
ment, re.echoes the assertions Of the Mexican
Secretary ofState, and applauds his late cores
pondence with Minister Shannon. The INTEL
gencer as a matter of course abuses Mr.. Tyler
for the animated tone Of his late message on
McAiUo, ca oUPy Of which forwarded you } !
1t also ridcues him for not recommending war
and denounces him also under the fiction or be.
lief that he has done SOFT was asserted last
summer that the Inteligencer was the recipient
of good GOuceur ofSanta Anna Siluer. That
Stream is now stopped and British Gald will
now take it's place.
By an arrival from Texas yesterday we have
a few days later news. The only items of in.
telligence is Of some murders and rObberies being
committed by the Indians.
A Fire broke out in Salem, Massachusetts, on
the 10Th inst, destroying property to the value
OF 100000 among which was two thousand
Barrels Flour. Are all your friends insured in
your City. Insurance agencies are plenty and
