BY the AlaJama we have received papers from
the City Of Mexico up to the 9th March inclusive
The movements of Santa Anna first arrest our
attention. He took leave Of the Army at San ais
Potosi on the 18th March in the following brief and
happy Address

Headqudrters, San Luis POtOsi, March IA, 1871
We do not precisely understand bat infer that
the three brigades above mentioned are distinct
from the four Thousand picked veterans whom he
had previously detached from his army with or
ders 70 proceed TO the Capital under Gen. Vasquez.
From San Luis to the City OF Mexico Santa Annas
progress was triumphal He continually met del
egations from Congress sent out to propitate him.
Addresses from the different States were presented
to him on his route. He arrived in the immediate
vicinity OF the capital on the 20th On the 23d he
took the oath of Office as President of the Repub.
lie at the City Of Guadalupe de Hidalgo.
The afternoon OF the following day he entered
the City Of Mexico with great pomp and solemnty.
Te Deum was sung in the metropolitan church,
where he received the fluctuations OF the authori
ties aud corporations. We give his Inaugural Ad.
dress beow--we have not room to-day for Senior
Otero's reply
The Cabinet of Santa Anna is composed as fol-
lows d. Mariana Otero, Minister of Foreign Al
fairs d. Juan Rondero of the Treasury d. Fran
cisco Suarvey Triarte, of Justice, and d. Jose lg
nacio Gutierrez, OF War
From anything we find in the papers, it does not
appear that Santa Annas assumption of the reins
OF Government is a revolution. He OF course dis
possesses Gomez Farias Is chief Executive officer
but without driving the latter from bis station OF
Vice President.
FL Republican,, very pertinacious opponent OF
the Administration of Fsrias, claims the change as
equivalent to a Revolution all the measures OF
Farias are to be abandoned, it says but it will DO
proper to wait little till Santa Anna has time TO
look about him Our latest papers just bring him
into the full enjoyment ofpower
Before Santa Anna reached the capital he sent
order tbither for the release OF Gomez Pesra
"a, whom Farias had kept for a week or two
close prisoner Santa Anna has avowed his inten
tion of asking from Congress an amnesty for all po
litical offences committed since 1921.
We have neither room nor time for adequate use
Of our files. We find ia them many things which
we desire to publish. We can only give place 10
