A correspondent OF Ell Monitor, writing from
Queretaro, says that the greater part OF the Gov
ernors OF the different States were present al the
seat OF government, and that with one exception
(the Governor of San Luis) they were unani-
nous in favor Of peace. The sessions were soon
to commence, and President Anaya proposes that
no line OF policy on the subject should be fol-
lowed, except such as The States suggest, IN or
der 10 get at once al The national will.
Gen Bustamente has been nominated BY the

eresling to-day. On the 18Th two Senators were
elected, The Deputies from each State casting

and three scattering For second Senator Ibaua
received all but three voles. Gen. Herrera had
been attacked by new disease, and it was
thought he would not survive. This is matter
of regret to all well-wishers OF Mexico. News
had been received al Queretaro by express that
the Americans had taken possession OF the port
OF M, zAtIan with four ships of war. 1t appears

continues 10 discharge the duties of Secretary OF
the Treasury, and there appears TO be some diff
flculty in fulfilling The vacancy. Gambia had
brought toward his charges of treason against
Santa Anna in new form, and Oero had also
impeached Romero on account OF his proceed
ings as Minister OF Justice towards the growers
OF tobacco. Santa Annals parlizans were busy
al the capital working against President hnaya,
and clamoring for the resIora ion of their chief 10

his late nominations are especially disas;eful 10

hatred.

they apprebend another invasion Of that State by
The Americans. The Governor writes that he is

armed with rifles and pixies.
Speculation has been rite here for two or three

may be examined.
