RESIGNATION OF SANTA ANNA!-This
event took place on May 18th. On tina,
date, the Mexican General wrote TO the
Minister of War, that he heard with re-
greet that his approach to the capitol. at the
head of an armed force, gave dissatisfac.
ton to the citizens, from the apprehension
that he intended to defend the city ,oithin
the rails. In consequence Of this he had
suspended his march; but even before do
ing so he had resolved to submit the mode
of defending the capitol to general coun-
Gil. In the storm of dissatisfaction and
abuse which prevailed, he felt it due to
his honor and position to make known his
programme, particularly two points:
First, to carry en- the war on the basis before
indicated; and secondly, to consider the saliva
ton of the capitol as indispensable. Being de,
termined not TO admit any compromise on either
Of these points, communicate the same to your
Excelency that you impart the same 10 his Elk
cellency, the President, and should he decide
against me you will at once tender my resigna
ton as commander.in.chief and first magistrate
of the Republic, and forward my passports to
retire 10 wherever may be most convenient for
me.
The Minister of war wrote back tina,
he had submitted the terms to the Presi.
dent substitute, who was perfectly satisfied
that they were "al right" and that Santa
Anna might ego ahead" He has but a
short time to 60 on, however, for the cleo.
ton was determined so far as the States
could do it on the 18th ut. When the re.
turns are all made to the Council of Gov.
eminent, should any one of the candi-
dates have majority Of votes, the affair
is over-there is no room for manage
ment" or Influence" But in case no one
should have a clear majority of the votes
of the States, Congress will elect between
the two highest candidates. There is little
likelihood that Santa Anna will be one OF
these.
