The Courier des Etats Uns of Thursday last, makes
further explanation of the contents of the private
letters of Santa Anna and Amonte, which have been
communicated to that Journal and which noticed two
evenings ago in the sUnon."
The Courier says sOur silence in respect to the
OF the letter OF General Almonte, may be taken
cooboratng the opinion already generally dused, that
Amonte supporter of the at all hazards, and that
he is disposed to continue it, opposition the
will of the Mexican Congress We declare dis
ncty and positively, that this idea is wholly false and
unjust towards General Almonte, whose patriosm-ar-
dent it may be-by no excludes, to any such
extent either sound Judgment or humanity. His letter
which have seen-makes known in express terms his
entire respect for the decision of the Congress- ana his
purpose to make it the rule of his conduct sour Con-
gress," he says, Ensembles the 9th of the
suing month, and we shall see what course it wM
deem proper TO be pursued in relation to the note OF
Mr. Buchanan In word Almonte is in this
spect entirely of one mind with Santa Anna Both
are resolved to obey the will OF their countrymen
as manifested in due constitutional form. The friends of
peace have thus less of apprehension, if not
one additional reason OF hope and in this view have
made our explanation"
