PARTIES IN MExiCo-sANrA ANNA CHARGED
WITH DUPLICITY-TUMULTs AND REMOVAL OF
REJoN-FURTHER INTERESTING lNTELLt
GENCE.
The following TRANSACTIONS from Mexican Jour.
nails recently received at the Navy Department,
may throw light upon the present condition OF
parties ia Mexico, and upon the causes of the late
changes in the administration Of the government
Senior Rejon, the late minister of foreign affairs il
will be recolleeted Of the few chosen friends
who accompanied Santa Anna on his return to Mex.
leo from Punishment He had been secretary Of
foreign affairs Immediately previous to the expulsion
Of Santa Anna, and received the same Offices after
his return. II would have been naturally supposed
therefore, that the most friendly relations existed
~ W.. Fbemj and, prev to his late dismissal
Rson exhibited letters written 10 him by Sants
Anna from San Luis Potosi of the most friendly
tenor, deprecating the idea of his (Reon's) removal
from his Office, and esnsuring the course Of Saas
the acting president. Yetit woad appear from one
Of the ARTICLES translated below that other letters
had been written by Santa Anna of different pur-
port.
The present division Of parties appears TO be into
tdsrGIisOs pUTOs, (puIe federalists modsradOs ant
nORgqustas. The fsdrali,is are the reverse Of the
party ofIhs same name in this country and are in
fact the dsmOeTas Of Mexico, the opponents Of
strong central government, and the advocates Of the
constitution Of 1924, which erected the former depart
mens Of Mexico into sovereign and independent States
governed by State legislatures like our own. This
radical change in the form Of government in Mexi-
co was effected by the liberal party-the admirers
Of our own form Of government and institutions
Santa Anna formerly one of the leaders Of that
party, but subsequently deserted it, and joined the
party Of the priesthood and friends Of strong CEN
trail government in union with whom he succeeded
in ovsrthrowing the constitution of 1924. On his
recent return from Punishment he found it necessa-
ry to renew hS declarations Of adhe.ion to the fed
eral constitution Of 1924; but the recollection Of his
former treachery is doubt still fresh in the minds
Of the old and consistent advocates Of that consttu-
ton, who are watching his present course with sus-
picion and anxiety.
The modsradOS are the conservatives Of the cOun-
try. Among the mOAarquisia, are no doubt COM
prised not only the declared advocates of a mon
archical government, but all the friends Of strong
central government and the church party generally
The recent dismissal Of Reon appears to have
been the result Of popular tumuts which took place
in the city Of Mexico on the l4th and 18th Of octo-
Der last. An account OF that Of the 18th Of October
is contained in the translation below from the Fede-
ralisto Puro, paper in the interest Of Rejon.
These lumults attributed by each party to the
secret Vaccinations Of the other-by the federaliss
10 the moderaies and monarchists, and vie. per-
sa. According to statements in the moderate
papers, ne tumults were occasioned by
an apprehension among the citizens Of Mexico that
the city would be sacked by the populace; and this
apprehension was excited by an editorial article
which appeared some time ago in the official paper,
the "Diauo," limiting to the wealthy citizens Of
Mexico that If they did not contribute freely towards
the expenses of the war, the people might find out
where their money was hid; seize upon it, and carry
it to the troops who were fighting for the country
From the extract given below from the Don Sim
plico, it appears that Rejon considered as the
author of this article.
Under present circumstances, Santa Anna can, Of
course, show no decided leaning in favor of any of
the parties into which Mexico is divided. So long,
however, as his friend Almonte makes one of the
administration particularly in the important post Of
Minister of War, land we see in the Mexican pa
pers before confirmation of the rumor recently
sent forth from this city, of his being sent as minis
ter to London,'l it may be presumed that the pro-
ceedings Of the government are in conformity with
Santa Annals wishes, and that he therefore APP
proved or assented to the dismissal of Rejon, not
withsandng the tenor of his letters to the latter In
fact Santa Annals policy, as well his inclination
in the existing state of things, must be to keep
good terms with the real governors of the country
the priesthood-though in his manifesto, issued i'm
medately after his landing at Vera Cruz, he de-
clared that time had undermined the power of the
directors Of conscences-a declaration made, no
doubt, to lu the suspicious, freshly excited, of
his enemies among the federasts. ... p

GUARANTEES OF THE FEpERATroN---REMovAL OF
GEN. SALAs FROM THE ExEcUTIvE.-This gentle
man having declared against the programme Of the
4th Of August, in order to perpetuate himself in
power, il is necessary that he should be removed
from his post, as he does not possess the national
| confidence. We advise Senior Salas, if he places
any value the welfare Of the Mexican republic,
voluntarily to the exercise of the execu-
tive power, and not by his caprice to cause the
shedding Of Mexican blood in intestine wars, for
| the evils of which he alone will be responsible.
.FonxieN DEBT THE REpURLIc.--The agree
ment entered into by Mr.. Murphy having been dis
approved on the ground Of his having exceeded the
instructions given to him, a new arrangement of
this business will yield a million and half or two
millions Of dollars to the agent who may be appoint
ed to make it, supposng that he restricts him
self TO the commissions which will accrue to him.
A profit so exorbitaut has excited the cupidity Of
Sefiors Trigueros Villam and the minister Of f.
nance, Don Antonio Haro y Tsmarz, who, in or
der TO it, have contributed to the dismissal of
the late minister Of foreign affairs Rejon in whom
they found an obstacle to the accomplishment of
their unworthy designs.
The newspaper called the Don Simplicio, having
been purchased with the funds of the first named,
he medo use of that journal to attack in every mode
Mr.. Rejon, in which he worked in concert with his
friend and ally, Don Jose Lazaro Villamil. As to
Sefior Haro he succeeded in placing in the depart.
