 Mexico.
 Of the contents of the Mexican papers by the Prineesoa, received at Washington, the Union gives the following synopsis. Additional Mexican papers have been fe- ceiyed al the Navy Deparsaien, from the city of Mexico so the 25ih of August, and from Vera Cruz Io ilse I'd of September, ir- elusive. They mention the arrival in the city of Mexico, on lhc 95d of Aug, of Gen Almonte, Cfsseencio Rejon, and Crescencio Boves, who accompanied Santa Anna from TIavanna. but say nothing of any eonaempla- ted appointments to the high offices ol go- vernment; the duties of which, subsequent to the overthrow of the late administration, had been discharged by the chief clerks of the respective departments.
 They published aa adlfess to Santa Anna from Gen. Salas, who was tn the exercise of the chief executive authority, dated the 18th of August, and delivered to Sanla Anna by three high officers commissioned for the purpose. ]. consists chiefly of compliments. He says: 'Beiag obliged, on the disconiinu, ance of the late government, to exercise the authority which was reserved by tl,e plan for your exceilency, ] have confined its exer- else to the execution of that plan, and to the most urgeut business of state, according ioI the e",nDoa existing laws, and respecting. as well tn accordance with the spirit of the plan, as with my character. the public guar- antees. The first measure has been to place all the troops of the republic ea route to Monterey, New Mexico and the Califarnias.' ;
 Sap's Annals reply to this address is dated the hacicada or farm of Encero, August 25.h, and also deals chiefly in generalites, comPli- ments and professions. He says: '.Y our ex- cellency is pleased to say that the nation re- collects some services which have had the good fortune to render it. l shall count them as nothing if have not tine glory of rendering il the greatest, the most lasting for its future generations, which Is to give it a deinitive constitution as sovereign nation m the full possession and exercise of it's rights, and on the road ,o its prosperity For this have been summoned. For this l come, and shall know how to accomplish it, And as the first measures necessary to this end are two, and consist in summoniig the nation to give itself constitution and repel its enemy, and as your excellency has taken the first steps in both, you have meri,ed we'll of the nation; and not only approve the acts of your government, but as chief bon- ored by ,he nations confidence, lcougralt- late you on your success, and thank you in the name of the natiou.''
 These are .he pnly allusions to the exist ing war. The newspapers seem to belle Gen. Saias' assertions that he had put troops in motion towards the theatre o war, and are assailmg the present administration upon the same ground which they took in opPosi- ,ioa to Herrera and Paredes.
