[From New Orleans Picayune, July 24l
Verbally we learn that the Mexican Government was

tails The Committee on Military affairs in the House
have also reported plan for the complete organiza-
ton of the regular army b.t this too has not yet
ceived the sanction Of Congress. 1t is apparent never

had secreted himself. From his concealment he ad.
dressed communication to the Executive stating his
readiness to enter upon his du ties Senator and de-
string that day might be appointed for him to take the
necessary oaths The appropriate Minister transmitted
this to the Senate informing them that the Executive
Government had issued orders for the arrest Of Senior
