instant, (the latest date received from Mexico) an
extract from the Diaio del Go5isrno Of May B. Of
which the following is translation;
"Afer three days of heated discussion, the
Chamber of Deputies this day approved, by vote
Of Al to 10, the report of the select committee ON
Texas, relative 10 the approval of the initiative prop
oson on this important subject, which was laid be-
fore the Chamber by his Excelcncy the Minister of
Foreign Affairs
The communication of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs which is referred to, is that of Mr. Cuevas,
of the 2lst of April last, Of which previous intei-
gence has been received. The initiative proposition
is in the following words;
"The government is authorized to receive the
propositions which have been made TO il with re-
spec to Texas, and to proceed to ad just conclude
such treaty as Il may deem expedent and honorable
for the republic reporting the same 10 the Congress
for Its examination and approval"
The letter of MIR. Cuevas, addressed to the Cham
Der of Deputies, gave intimation whatever of an
intention, on the part of the government Of Mexico
to recognise the independence Of Texas. The Sig
10 XIX, in its comments the initiative proposition
recommending ii to the favorable consideration Of
the people, speaks of the Texas question as a
ogrand, immense" and "transcendental" prob
lem says that one solution of 1.-THE annexation
of Texas to the United Staes-was not to be spo-
ken of but that "all other solutions, whether based
on the independence or the reineorporaiion of
Texas" necessarily required treaty; and that,
therefore, nothing yielded by the mere fact Ct
expressing a willingness to treat.
The Monitor Constitutional of Mexico, of the 18th
April, gravely states that IT is fact demonstrated
beyond all doubt that there is in Texas opinion
favorable to submission to Mexico" Perhaps an
impression of this sort may have had some inau-
ence in inducing the Chamber of Deputies to press
the vote approving the initiative proposition of Mr..
Cuevas.
1t is, perhaps, we'll enough that Mexico has so
far recognised the independence of Texas as formal
ly to express willingness to treat; but between
that step and harmonious adjustment of bounda-
ries, and other matters, there may be wide inter
val.

SAD NEWS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA

SAD NEWS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.
Translated from the Vera Cruz Daro Of April soh, for
the New York ESpress.l
BY the packet Of Guatemala, from Honduras
yesterday have received papers and dates to the
middle of March.
Leon the capital Of Nicaragua, which had been in
state Of siege by General Malespin, was taken by
force of arms, after bloody contest; and acts OF
cruelty were perpetrated by the conquerors equaled
only in the wars Of Buenos Ayres. The Guatema-
la Gazette states that more than thousand persons
were assassinated or burnt by General Maespn,
without distinction Of the aged, women, children,
and priests.
While the besiegers abandoned themselves in
these excuses General Cabanas and the other de-
tenders Of Leon retired, with few arms and the
military chest; and on reaching the province of Sal
yador. Of which Maespin is governor, the man who
had the command in his absence, and the people,
rose against Malespin. The chambers have de-
cared his election NULL as the result of military vi
olence and instituted proceedings against him, or
dered his property be seized and that, in case of
his refusing appear on trial. he shall be held and
treated as traitor. He was afterwards excommu-
nicated by Bishop Yterey, with all the ceremonies
of the church. for the assassination Of the priests Of
Leon.
Maespin, on his part, was marching for San Sal
vador at the head of his troops; and his position is
exactly like that in which General Santa Anna late
ly placed himself in Mexico.

his conservation in Guatemala, stopped within the
limits of his diocese, and told the people not to pro-
coed while General Malespin had arms in his
hands. IN.
The government of Guatemala had prohibited
the admission of the Jesuit fathers, who were in the
city, on their way to that State, and did not permit
them to land in the port Of Izaba. Il appears that
this was done because the President General Carse-
ra, had received information that they were going
TO exert themselves to secure his overthrow We
are assured, however, that he has paid their pas
sage. although he does not admit them.
HAyANA, April 26-The Independent Monitor Of
vesterdav states that the administrator of the
Tom house, OF the port of Metamoras, informs the
government that they ought to take measures to
save the archives Of his Office, in case the fifteen
hundred Texans, who were approaching that city,
should enter it, as il was abandoned.
This is the first intimation we have had Of the
movement of troops towards Mexico, and the re-
port may be but rumor We doubt its correct
ness
The Mexican House Of Deputies have passed a
bill TO exempt from all taxes the property Of the
Sisters Of Charity, of all kinds in whatever towns
Of the republic they may found their establishments,
during ten years from their dates.

day, by land, to Mount Vernon, which he had never
before visited along with the venerable Mrs. Madi-
son (who had not been for twenty years to the tomb
Of Washington) and with some Of his cabinet and
their families. They received with cordial hospi
tality and heartfelt welcome by the present pro-
prietors of Mount Vernon; and we shall not repeat
the description which they give of the deep impress
sions of reverence with which they viewed the tomb
of the great man who was "frst in war, first in

was the first day that the President has been any

would most respectfully say, "Bewsre You know
your danger. Tempt not the people by going coun-
ter TO their wishes. We cannot, will not suspect
you of any sinister influences. But beware even of
the suspicion Of such connection Let not this
British agent tamper with you. Put down all

Thus only you be restored TO the confidence of

To her people we would say, "Avoid all violence.

your own destiny by the energy of your wills, and
by the power of the ballot-box; and give not

that we have excited you to violence; that you have
put down your own regular government by force;
but that you come to us, an excited mob, not
as violent faction, but as an enlightened people.
Prove yourselves worthy of the high destiny which

PoRT OF MONTEREY, California
March %. 1S45.

In addition to what wrote you in my last, am
now enabled to inform you that the Cafornans
have succeeded in their efforts against the govern
ment Of the regular governor and commandment gen.
erol Don Manuel Micheltoreno The Californans
to the number of one hundred and fifty, after re-
naming in this vicinity for few days, went to
the town Of Angels one hundred miles north of
this port, and stormed it in the night with the loss
of but two men. They were soon joined by the
Cnlifornans of that place. On the 10th or 18th of
January, Governor General Micheltorena left this
town with his officers, hundred and fifty Mexi-
can soldiers some citizens Of Old Mexico, sixty or
eighty wild Indians, trained to arms by Capt SUIT
ter Ia Swiss settler on the river Sacrament,) and
one hundred foreigners; part of whom are settled
on the same river. He had also ox-oarts, cannon,
and baggage; and had TO make road as he pro-
ceeded over q difficult mountainous route. Some
times he went league day, and then again would
halt four or five days at place without any appa-
rent object During all this time the Caifornans
insurgents) travelled throughout the country from
ten to twenty leagues go to go mies) day. They
returned at times 10 the vicinity OF the governor gene
rails forces, from a long distance of, and would
then disappear.
After the encouragement had been on the road
a month, the foreigners and his soldiers began to
leave him by fves and tens at time; the former be-
ing Disguised with the slowness of his progress, and
the latter left him with the hope of getting free from
the service; while many Of those remaining were IN
hopes that the Californians would be victorious and
would ship them back to San Bias, where they had
families relations they having been forced
into the ranks and brought into California against
their will. Gen. Mchetorena, after having been
forty days in reaching the vicinity Of the town Of
Angels, for the third time came near the insurgents,
who then offered him battle. They (the insurgents)
were three or four hundred strong, under Don Jose
Castro, who had persuaded many foreigners to join
his party.
On the Doth Of February, the two parties (con-
sisting Of about six hundred men all together, Mex
leans, Cafornians, foreigners, and Indans) got
into action Castro commenced the fight with cam
non, firing large shot; and the governor general, on
remained so far apart all that day not to lose
man. On the next day, (he 21st,) the battle again
commenced, and was continued in what il here con-
sidered a warm and desperate contest The gov
ernor general however, soon surrendered; for forty
or fifty foreigners having left him some time before
