The election of new President commenced on the
lst nst for which there are four candidatcssay Gen.
Herrera, President dd interim, Gen. Amone, ex-Me x

ef whom it is supposed, will be the successful candi
date.
Almonte has offered his services to the government in
the approaching campaign against Texas but rather
think is more de gueTe to he him to the Presi
dency than any great desire he has got to have brush
with the Texans-or as ought rather to say now the

means for transporting the the bay and in
