auioulnals recently received al The Navy

the present condition OF parties in Mexico,
and upon the causes Of the late changes in
the administration of the government
Scnor Rejon, The late Minister of Foreign
Affairs, il WILL be- recollecled was one OF
the few chosen friends who accompanied
San,a Anna on his return 10 Mexico from
banishnieit He had been Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs Immediately previous TO
,he, expulsion OF: Santa Anna, a,nndreceivetlv
the same office after his return. Ii would
have been naturally supposed. there FORE.
that the moil friendly relations existed be-
tween them; and, previous to his late dis
missal Rejon exhibited letters written TO
him by Santa Anna from San Luis Polosi
Of The most friendly tenor, deprecatlng the
idea of his tRejon'si removal from his Of
fee, and censuring The course OF Salas,
III, acting President, Yet it would aP:
pear from one of the articles translated
below, that other letters had been written
by Santa Anna Of a different purporl.

lion Of 1924, which erecled the former de-
partments OF Mexico into sovereign and
iudspendeni States governed by State Le-
glslalures like our own. This radical
change in the form Of government in Mex
leo was effected by the liberal parIy--lhe
admirers Of our own form of government
and institutions. SANTA Anna was for
merly one Of leaders of that party, but
subsequently, deserted il, and joined the
party of the priesthood and friends OF
strong central government, in unoa with
whom he succeeded in overlhrowing the
Constitution of 1924. On his recent return
from banishmeGt. he found it necessary
10 renew his declarations Of adhesion 10
the federal constitution Of 1924; but The
recollection Of his former treachely is no
doubt sill fresh in The minds Of the old and
consisicn, advocates Of thst constitution,
who are walching his present course with
suspicion and anxiety. ., rata..

rTnerecent dismissal of Rejon appears
20 have been the result Of popular lumults
which took place in the city Of Mexico on
the l4ths aud l9lh Of October last An
account of that OF. the 18th Of October. is
contained in the}iranslation below from
,ne Fe,leralisto Puro, paper in the inter-
es, of Rejon. These tumults were atrib-
uted by each party to the secret machna-
,ions OF the olher-----by the tederalIsls TO the
moderates and monarchisls, and ,race uersa.
According 10 statements made, in tie mod.
crate papers, the tumul,s were, ,occasloned
by an np,prehensionsam The ci!izsnssof
Mexico ,ha, the city would he sacked by
the popuiaco; and this apprehension was
excited by an editorial article which ap-
peared some time ago in The otficia! pa
per, the .Diario," hin,ing 10 the wealthy
citizens of Mexico that if they did not
contribute freely 10 the expenses Of the
war, the people might find out where their
money was hid seize upon it aud carry
tito the troops who were fighting for the
country. From, the extract given below
from the Don Simplicio, it appears that
Reion was considered as the aulher OF The
article.
Under present circumstances, Santa An
ma can, Of course, show no decided leaning
in Eavcr Of any of the parties iI'o which
Mexico was devided. So long, however,
as his friend Almone makes one oil the
administration. particularly in Tho impor.
,aut nos, Of Minister of War, (and we see
in The Mexican papers before US no con-
firmaton of tho runor recently sent torth
from this city, of his being sent as Minis
ter 10 Londuns) it may he presumed that
the proceedings of The government are IN
conformity NTH Santa Annals Wishes
and that he therefore approved or assent
ed to The dismissal Of Rejon, noIwlths1and-
ing the tenor of his letters TO hc.laIter.--
In fact Santa Anna's policy, as well as
his inclina.ion, in the existing stale ol
,hings, must be to keep on good terms with
the real governors Of the countryside
pries,hood-,hough in his manifesto, is
sued Immediately after his landing at
Vera Cruz, he declared that tine had un-
dermined the power Of the directors of
consciences-ad declaration made, no doubt
to lull the suspicious, now freshly excl
ted, Of his enemies amongst The tcderalIsls.
SIN fact it appear, from the las, Mexican
papers, ,a, none OF the foreign legations had
been filed.
