Dates from Mexico to the 22d ult., and from Vera
sCruz to the SIst ult., have been received at New
Orleans. They have received the intelligence of the
passage of the Annexation Resolution IN both Houses
of Congress. On the 2lst of March the subject
formally introduced in the Chamber of Deputies, and
resolutions were presented declaring that the pro-
visions of the treaty of 1881 at end requiring
that the ports of Mexico should be closed against all
vessels of the United States prohibiting the intro
ductOn into the Republic of the manufactures of this
country, and stating in substance that proposition
for the restoration of friendly relations between the
two Governments would be entertained, except on
condition the United States would abandon altogether
the project of annexation
Senior Cuevas took occasion to express the views of
the administration of Gen. Herrera. He said that
the Government would at once address an energetic
protest to all friendly nations well to the United
States, against annexation that diplomatic relations
with this country would thereupon terminate He
said the Government felt itself strong enough for the
emergency, without the grant Of additional powers
and trusted that, instead Of grievous calamity
annexation might really prove blessing to Mexico
by uniting all her people in determined effort tc
maintain their rights and preserve the integrity Of
the Republic. The Presidents of the two Chambers
responded IN much the same strain
Both parties TO the recent revolution have direc
interest IN seeming to be favorable to declaration
war; whilst Congress has been in nowise behinC
either IN manlfesting proneness in that way. Th'
absurdIty of such an issue does not appear to hav
struck the Mexican Cabinet, Congress or people
The interests Of contending factions keep the popua
ton In ferment, and war might result from
altogether irrelevant to the matter In dispute.
The - Ef Monitor Constitutional" a paper which
supports the existing Government, INDUCES in
violent philippe, and is sadly at loss to know nov
miserable majority of two votes in the Unite
States Senate should be allowed plunge the natio
into war with so redoubtable country as Mexico
Nothing, it declares, prevent hostillties, and
exhorts all Mexicans to die together, rather tina
suffer degradation and loss of honor.
At Vera Cruz, the intelligence of the passage c
the annexation resolutions by the U. S. Congress wa
received with great deal of Indifference by larg
majority of the inhabitants; and it was anticipate
that the loudy-expressed ire of the small minorit
would soon subside.
An English frigate, the Eurydice, had left Yer
Cruz for Galveston, with offer, 1t believed
for the Mexican Government to recognize the ind
Pendencs Of Isras, provided she refused to anne
AsrseT to the United States.
Of Santa Anna the papers say good deal, bl
nothing definite He had not been tried at the la:
accounts-t that Is, no absolute Judgment had bee
pronounced upon him. His written defence had bee
sent before the Grand Jury and is freely commente
upon by the journals. 1t is spoken of insolent
Its tone, and bold and hardy in its defiance.
