American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-09-26


the revolution had not caused drop of bloot
to be shed. Only one prisoner was made, Pa
redes, whom 1t was necessary to secure, to pre-.
vent torcibe reactonary movement. His frs
act, after being invested with supreme power
was TO dispatch to Monterey, New Mexico anc
California all the dsposabe military force o.
the Republic. He only waited the arrival o
Santa Anna at the city of Mexico to deposit
IN his hands the Executive power.
Santa Anna makes a long reply TO this, in
Which IN his usual style, he Vaunts his purity
OF purpose, the sacrifices he had made for Mex
leo, and declares that his mission will be ended
when he has restored order to his distracted
country. MY authority shall cease, when
snail have re.estabshed the nation in their
rights; when shall see her disposing of her
destlnes through her representatives; and when
II Heaven grant me strength, shall have de
posted at their feet the laures gathered on the
banks of the Sabne!" He declines coming to
the capitol, assigning the irritation still felt in
his mutiated leg, caused bv his anxietes, and
the fatigue he has undergone coming from Ha-
vana
The people in the city Of Mexico were quite
delighted at the decree issued by Salas regard
ing the re-establishment of the Constitution of
1924, and the plenory powers with which the
ensuing Congress are to be invested. 1t is sup
posed that the Congress must BIO called together
at an earlier period than the 9th Of December,
to which it stands convoked.
The deputation, with Senior Pacheco, left
Santa Anna at Bucerro, where still he remain
ed at latest dates.
The utmost activity seems TO have been dis
played by the government of Salas, during the
interregnum between the pronunCiamento and
Santa Annals arrival at Vera Cruz Wealthy
individuals had been particularly addressed BY
the Minister of Finance, ad Turing them to come
forward to the relief Of the government ana the
country by donations of money, beasts of
draught and burthen, &c, to convey stores for
the army, engaged in defending the country
from the invaders, who were provided 18th a.
bundance of everything, and with nexhausi-
bic resources at their back.
Nothing appears in any Of the papers we
have seen relative to the receipt by the gov
eminent of Mexico ofany proposition from Pre-
sident Polk, for the cessation ofthe war The
Locomoter of Vera Cruz says that the reports
of reactions in favor of Paredes, or others,
against the lately expressed will of the nation,
are wholly unfounded; they are mere alarms
invented and circulated from wanton or ma
levolent feeling.
Accounts had been received at Vera Cruz on
the I'd August, that a detachment Of 5000
American troops were on their march from
Camargo to Monterey The editor of the Ell
Indicator earnestly urges the necessity Of op-
posing their advance. Robbery and ruin, he
alleges will follow their steps, which he asserts
are the main objects Of the invasion.
Strong hopes were entertained in Vera Cruz,
about the 28th August, that Campeachy wou i'd
pronounce in favor of Santa Anna, and as
consequence, that Yucatan would again voun-
tarly join the confederation.
Ell Indicator states that it is very possible
that Gen. Paredes will be ordered to change
his prison Of Perote for that of San Juan dc
Ulua, and that he will leave the castle for some
foreign country. Sonora Paroles had been Sc
veral times permitted to visit her husband at
his prison, and the papers from the capital sta c
that he is much pleased with the treatment he
has received.
Gen SaIas, who exercised supreme command
from the It'll to the 20th of August, processes
to have done as little as possible Of his own
will, and only what was urgently demanded by
the necessity Of the case. He boasts, however,
that he had done what he could ''to aid the
brare men ,chO in Monterey haze determined 10

On the 10Th of August he issued a proca-
nation, in which he announced to his country
men that new insult had been offered TO them;
that another act Of bascn, IS had been perpctra-
ted by the Americans. He alludes to the Cal
itornias, which, he says, the Americans have
now seized by the strong hand, after having
vlilainouslS robbed US of Texas. He announces
that the expedition which had been so long pre-
pairing would set fourth in two DAYS for The re-
covery ofthe country, and that meas ures Guild
be taken to arrange the differences which had
existed between the people of the CALIFORNIA;
and the various preceding Central administra-
tons. In conclusion he appeals eloquently to
the Caliiornans to second with their best exer-
tons the attempts which would be made to
drive out the Americans and to unite their rich
and fertile territories forever to the Ropnbc
The present revolution, he assures them, is not
like the former ones; we know your worth, and
we shall never give over our efforts till we save
you from your enemy.
