1t is very probable that the project of sell

therefore, in our judgment, important that
he attention Of the people should be directs
I'd 10 the subject in time. We know al
teady enough Of the character of the mex,
Legislature to feel apprehensve Of its ac.

FROM TuE ARMY.
WASHINGTON, Thursday evening

WASHINGTON, Thursday evening, Oct. i.
The steamship Ann Mcklm arrived at New-Or-
leans on the DIST inst from Texas. a letter to the
New Orleans Picayune from Mr.. Kendall, dated at
Seralvo, Sept. Sd, says Gen. Taylor will probably
be within cannon shot of Monterey, on the 18th or
oO,h of September. Ampudia is at Monterey with
the entire control. Mr.. Kendall learns that 2OC0
Mexican troops of the line arrived there on the 3lst
of August, with pieces of field artillery. Canales
is at Marine with COCO Rancheros to dispute Gen
Tayors march upon Monterey. These people are
determined to fight somewhere. Arlsta is in the
city of Mexico, it is said charged with cowardlcc
and treacherous designs.
BALTIMORE, Thursday evening, Oct ].
SANTA FE TAKEN BY GEN. KEARNEY --RFTREAT
OF Gov ARMIJo TO CHIHuAHuA.-By advlces per
Western Mail we learn that on the 18th Of August
Gen. Kearncy entered Santa Fe, and having hoist
ed the United States flag from the National Palace,
proclaimed New Mexico in possession of the Uni
ted States Army, which was greeted with shouts OF
applause by the Mexican people. lie administered
the oath of allegiance to the Alcades of the small
towns and officers of Santa Fe. He proclaimed
himself Governor of New Mexico and took quar-
tiers at the Palace. ArmJo, with 1000 troops, fed
to Chihuahua, where report says strong resistance
would be made by large army. Gen. Kearney
was preparing 10 march to chihuahua.
The steamers news has caused flour to advance
in Baltimore to five dollars and half per barrel.
ANNEXATION OF NEW MEXICO TO TIE
UNITED STATES BY BROADER GEN
ERAL!
The rumor of the capture of Santa Fe by Gen.
Kearney, without firing gun, is confirmed. On
the 18th of August after march of 900 miles, he
entered Santa Fe, the Mexican General Armljo
having retreated. Gen. Kearney took up his quar-
tiers in the Governors palace, and assumed all the
functions of Governor, publicly procalming thai
he "claimed The Uhoie Of Nei0 Merico for the United
lSiaiesr On the 10Th he addressed the People, re-
peaung this claim, and absolved them from the
allegiance to Mexico and required them to swear
allegiance to the United States. Such is the news
If this is not a short mode of annexation, we arr
mistaken. Texas went through at least the decen
forms of ga fair business Transaction" but Gen
Kearney seems to have saved all trouble of tina
