FURTnER NEWS FROM MEXICO.


Dress OF SANTA ANNA--AMPUDiA IN
THE FIELD.
Ne learn from the Union, that files of Next
papers to the 28th Of August have been re-
bed at the Navy Department. They contain
e of interest except the address or manifesto
Santa Anna to the people of Mexico,
ed the 10th of August, the day of his land
at Vera Cruz. 1t is ably and carefully
s med, and temperate in language and senti-
nts, and would fill more than four columns
the Union, which paper gives the following
ef abstract of its leading points;
HE commences with a sort of apology for the
TT which he played, subsequent to 1914, in
cling a strong central government upon the
lntry, which he admits did not result in its
! let or prosperity; and he attributes to the dis
atept of the people, the failure to preserve
province of Texas. He then briefly reviews
3 conduct of those who have successfully ad-
nistered to the government since his exile.
le aggressons of the United States were en-
dragged, he says, by the perfidy ofthe cabinet
Gen. Herrera. Parades, he says, had al
ys been an obstinate enemy of any popular
preventative government; when he heard OF
{ projected revolution at San Luis Potosi he
ped that his opinions had changed; but when
saw Paredes' manifesto of adhesion to the
/. n of St. Luis Potosi, he found it to be rather
iatribe against the independence of the ma
n, than The patriotic address of Mexican
neral seeking in good faith remedy for the
dresses of his country; and his sinister designs
bre fully developed by his act convoking
pngress, aad by the attempts to reconcile the
ople to the idea of monarchy and foreign
ince.
He denounces and discusses at length the
oposal for a monarchial form Of govern
lent, which he considers absurd and impracti-
[ble. He accuses those in favor of mon
chy of having, almost in direct manner,
ovoked the United States to take possession
Texas, and advance an army into the inte-
or of Mexico, IN order that the nation might
reduced to the alternative Of submitting to
nglo- American domination, or adopting a
Ponarchial form of government. 1t was with
lis view, he says, that in 1914 and lS45, when
hey had the control in Congress, they refused
|e aid which the existing administration asked
r the purpose Of defending the integrity of the
htional territory.
He makes no direct or earnest profession OF
intention to prosecute the war against the
States, and does not speak ofthis country in
lie usual terms Of vilification.
He concludes by dlsclaiming any desire or
tention TO exercise dictatorial power, and
(erefore proposes that the Congress about to
assembled shall be empowered to regulate all
ranches of the administration of the govern
bent, and that the provisional executive be en-
rely under its control. He also recommends
hat, until new constitution be proclaimed,
be constitution of 1924 be adopted for the i'll
krnal administration of the departments.
Santa Anna left Vera Cruz on the 18th oil
ugust for the city of Mexico. The papers
I've no account of his arrival there; but one OF

Faitng his arrival to forward reiniorcements to
