MExoo.--The New Orleans Pcayune Of Tho ~.
inst IN giving synopsis Of the latest news from
Mexico, says:
We have again to say that Mexico has M,
yet declared war against the United States =,
though rumors were rife in town vestnrds'.
that she had done 80. The subject was a ve,,.
general topic of conversation yesterday but ny
one, we presume, seriously believed the rnmos
At any rate, it was treated with derision
Verbal communications from some of The no,
sengers by the Creole, represent that the cen
eral feeling at Vera Cruz is in favor of ,yo,
and that the prevailing impression there i
that the Government will declare il as soon =,
II finds itself in situation TO do so with eGec,
The four American vessels Of war were sill
lying al SACRIFICES. Should Capt. Stock,on1',
squadron Join them, as is anticipated the aeo,
will consist OF eight vessels Of war, mounting
in all / 81 guns.
BY this arrival we hear not a word more ol
Mr. Shannon, the American Minister.
The most interesting intelligence which tue
find, relates To the fate of Santa Anna and
those involved in his overthrow. A pronosi'
ton has been introduced in the Chamber q,
Deputies, that Santa Anna, Canalizo and ,b'
four ex-Ministers who took part in issuing The
decree OF the 28th of November, CLOSING bS
the condition Of expatrialng themselves for ,ba
term Of ten years. At the same time anotba,
proposition was submitted TO the effect thai an
absolute amnesty should be granted TO all tbosa
generals and other officers comprehended in ,Ls
circular OF the 9th Of January, depriyinp tbam
Of their Commands, &C., even though thew had
been already sentenced.
We do not find that the Chambers bavo
acted upon these propositions, but that thew are
LII. al
terrain no doubt. II cannot be doubted tho,
il is the policy Of the Mexican Government in
view Of her difference with the United States
thus TO heal all internal wounds, and concen'
trate the feelings Of all classes and parties unon
resistance to annexation.
