which left Vera Cruz On the 2 18th u,imo:
Gen. Bus,ainente. arrived at Vera Cruz
on the l7ih rliimo, and offered his services
to sustain the integrity of the Mexican ter
rifory and the dignity of the Republic. Il
was rather cody received by the Govern
ment, and it is reported that he refused the
military honors rendered him on his arrival.
Ii was believed that his return was not in
vited by any party, and that he had no de-
sire 10 NEEDLE npublic affairs.
The people were generally quiet, and not
at all alarmed, notwit hsanding the cries
made by the Federalists and the partsans
of Sahti Anna, who were loud in denoun-
cling the Government for want of energy.
The state of the public Treasury was pre-
sumed TO be pretty low, as the officers in
the employ of the Government found eat
difficulty in obtaining one fourth Of their
salaries.
The acting President, General Canal;so,
and Ex-Minis,er of War, Gen. Blsaore, mot
accepting the propositions made them by
Government,to be expairia.cd for ten years,
have been imprisoned for the same term,
the former in the castle Of Pero.e, and tn !,
latter in that Of San Juan de Ulloa.

TO the prejudice of Mexico, has been in in
s:dous preparation for long time; at the

was proclaimed, and that, on the part of
this Republic, the existing treaties between
it an those States were respected scru
pulolsly and legally.
That the said annexation of Texas TO the
United States tramples upon the conserva-
tive principles Of society, attacks all fle
rights that Mexico has to that territory, is
an insult to her dignity as sovereign nation,
and threatens her independence and polti-
cal existence.

reference to the annexation Of Texas to the
United States, does in no-wise destroy the
right that Mexico has, and VIII enforce, up
