The Republican, OF the following day announ-

Immediately 10 his destination, accompanied BY
Senior Casanares, Collector OF Monterey. In IN
other paper we see announced The death OF the
Bishop OF California, and in The same paper u-
sion is made TO events in California, tat which
point our arms have suffered reverses."
During the administration OF Salas, various
proclamalons had been issued TO arouse the peo'
pie 10 take part in The war, by enstinS and b.
contributing their means. Efforts were made 10
organize The local militia, bu. with lille apparent
effect The Diario OF 18th announced that Gen.

Manuel Romero has been appointed TO the com
mand of Inc third brigade Of the same army. On
the Doth August il is mentioned that Slu ,UoU mao
been RENTED 10 Camargo, bul the purpose IS not
named. The Mexicans could hardly have snip
posed il would find any ofther ttoopsthere. ne
latest advices alluded to from Monterey were
contained in letter of the 3lsl OF July, announ-
cling thedisbandment the Louisiana volunteers,
and the departure Of 5000 OF them, whereby it
waxsaid that the proposed march OF Gen. lay

There are various addresses oil Governors oil The
Departments scattered through the papers IN
which The people are urged 10 repel The INVASION
and 10 troll back the tide across the Sabine" but
we DO not find definite measures offered, or any
thing lid b. which We can Judge OF the number
ol troops concentrated al Monterey or San LUIS
Potos Monterey is named as the point where
The struggle is 10 take place, but not in the letters
otSanta Anna.
There is an enumeration Of the States which
have declared for The revolution, but il would be
much easier 10 name those which have not. a
vast majority are with Santa Anna. Gen. Al
yarez in giving in his adhesion, boasts to have
been Inc first 10 declare against Paroles and his
tyranny. San Luis Potosi pronounced on the
Sth oil August and we find no mention Of the
counter declaration there, Of which we have had
reports. The Indicator ci the 9TH ul;. says that
Campeachy would declare on the 18th, and that
Gen. Basadre and ex-governor MenJez were
there Tor The purpose, and that The STATE Of Ynca-
tan ar9uid be rctneo, pgratcd into tae Repnbt'c.-
The news was expected daily at Vera Cruz rt0
Tabasco.
In his reply 10 Salas on the 20ih OF August,
Santa Anna accepts The trust which IS formally
,!eyolved upon him BY Saas, ami approves OF
the acts of the latter, especially in sending tor
ward all the troops 10 Monterey, New Mexico
and California, and in summonns Congress Tor
the 9Th Of December. These, ne says arc The
Two first wants Of the natlon-he formation oil

and the will oil the Mexican people.
To our view, Santa Anna appears TO have M
other limits TO his power for The present than his
own sovereign will and pleasure.
The New Orleans Delta contains The following
Address OF Santa Anna 10 The army al Vera
Cruz:
The Address (says the New Orleans Bul'etin)
