WASHINGTON. June Is. Isz6

The administration is looking every day for in.
telligence Of the arrival of Santa Anna at Vera
Crnz-a promunciamento Of his elevation to tho
supreme authority, and an overture fos peace.
Now, it is pretty certain that this enterprise is n
work. While Amonte, (and we have this intor-
nation from high au,horty,) was at Vera Cruz
in the month Of May, having been appointed
Minister TO France, the political leaders Of that
department had called meeting on the affairs Of
the republic. Every thing was ready to pro-
nounce; but from division in the assemblage,
some being in favor of Santa Anna, and others
Tor AlmonIe, the junta was dissolved without
having made a pr0ntnctamenfo. Alter which Al.
monte returned to Havana, resigning his COM
mission 10 France, but returning the $SO,OOO out
fit, which he promises TO refund the government
nj a more convenient season. Santa Anna was
expected at Vera Cruz on the ID h OF June, and
h IL friends were sanguine that las aIrlsal would
lead 10 immediate ps I1iu, ciuntnfo III his tie
vation. The uoops ialsig 10y Fai.d d-s In per-
son, ior the purpos: oil resisting Santa
Anna, and not General Taylor. And as
Santa Anna is understood 10 he favorable
to negotiation, as preferable TO war, as
soon rs Gen. Taylor hears of The epr0nunciinent0,
for the late exile, by The lunia al Vera Cruz, hs
should issue II cooperate pronancianento, and Pa
redes would be demolished III once. IL l. lhe PRO
nittciament0 which does the thing for The Mexi-
cans. Again, IL is ante pat,d, that PaJedes, Tin
order to defeat the designs oil santa Anna, unless
tne exile snOuiO dlTtduy nave aTrveu,) VIII
compelled to sue for peace, to save himself from
the retribution of Santa Anna, by Punishment
from the country. II appears, therefore, that
whether Santa Anna remains at Havana, or
returns to Vera Cruz at the call OF the junta, Pa;
redes is driven to the extremity Of one OF two al
ternatves-either 10 sue for peace, or to leave the
country open to Gen. Taylor, in order to a prompt
organization, TO resist The descent and the proVtun
cianenfo Of Santa Anna When the presence Of
a hostile army in the territory Of a nation, claim
ing to be independent, is insufficient to stop their
intestine brols, it would seem an act OF magnani-
nifty, as well as Of policy to "smash them up en-
treIy," to use the language OF Col. Johnson. II
would seem the only course left.
The report gains credence, If not credbty,
that there is to be general reorganization Of tho
Cabinet pretty soon, more especially for the bene-
way to Mr.. Mason, the Attorney General, whose
place in turn is to be flied by Gen. McAlister, OF
Georgia, late democratic candidate for governor.
Mr.. Bancroft TO 60 to Russia. The design, it is
further reported, to get Bancroft ont of the way
entirely, as decenuy as possible, for if nominated
to Russia, it is expected the Senate will reject
him. If the President, however, is bent upon
new Cabinet for n change, he will probably hold
over till the adjournment, send MIR. Bancroft of
to Russia in the interim, securing him an outfit
and return Of nn aggregate Of $500 besides in
the Senate next winter, which would not be 50
likely, after his departure, as in advance Of it,
The forbearance of the organ in regard to these
rumors Of change or changes, gives them an
cliqucs is actively at work to effect an sxplo-
sion.
The Richmond 1Vhig has left out State in its
calculations of the division Of the Senate upon
the tariff The correct division is as follows.-
There are twenty-five whigs, including Mr.. Cl-
ley, all of whom we will suppose as steadfast for
the law Of AZ. There thirty-one democrats.
including the two Senators from Texas, from
whom we take Messrs Cameron and Sturgeon,
of Pennsylvania, and place them in tho opposite
scale. This would give for reduction Of the
larlu -. 80. 80. ........... ~
For the law OF lo4Z ............. n
Majority for modification 80. ........
So that there will be no necessity for the casting
vote of the Vice President, as the Whtg has il.
Several Of the western members, however, are
supposed to be aversc to the 20 per cent. upon
tea and coffee, and upon this issue is the last soli-
tary hope OF the tariff Of ~, admitting that the
bill, with the tea and coffee per centage, viii
run the gauntlet of the House.
Should peace be effected with Mexico before
the bill is passed, tea and coffee may escape the
proposed taxation, and the scheme of General
M'Kay, with some slight notifications, may be
adopted.
The session Of A. enactng the tariff, adjourned
on the Both August, and we now predict that the
session Of its repeal will not be closed at an CARRIER
day. Respectfully, The DocroR.
