from Tampco. whence she sailed on the Cd inst
She brought over twenty two discharged soldiers
Of the Baltimore Balaion the remainder had
sailed on the schooner Morris and other vessels
for his port.
The report OF Santa Annals resignation had
reached Tampico, but we are still uncertain il it
has been accepted by Congress. The feelings
OF the people ore manilestly much embitered
against him.
By the arrival Of the Oregon, we are placed in
possession OF papers from the city OF Mexico 10
the 22d Of May. The latest papers previously
received were to the 19th Although these pa

we have already given, they contain interesting
news. And first Of the Presidential election.
The election, be it borne in mind, occurred on
the 18th ult., and the returns are slowly coming
in. We now learn that the States of San Luis
Potosi and Guanajuato voted each for Angel Tri.

The State of Vera Cruz voted for Gen. Her.
rera. So, too, did Michoacan, he receiving
eight votes and Santa Anna two.
Thus, then, stands the result, so far as we
have any certain knowledge. Angel Trias has
received the votes Of the States Of Mexico, San
Luis Potosi and Guanauato. Gen. Herrera has
the votes Of Queretaro, Vera Cruz and Michoa.

Puebla. This we think looks favorable TO Gen.
Herrera, who is much better known at home and
abroad than Angel Tras. Gen. Santa Anna, so

The Legislature OF the great State Of Jalisco
declared by a vote Of ii TO IL that the decree Of
Congress ordering the election was unconstitu.

is regarded as step towards revolution and the
ultimate independence Of this State.
We have Santa Annas address published on
the 20th ult. One OF his first acts upon resum.

Gen. Alcorta, of War. The two other portfolios
were vacant on the 22d, the Ministers having ten

The proceedings against Gen. Arista for the
loss OF the battles OF the 9Th and 9th of May,
and the surrender Of Matamoras, have been re
defence Of the capitol.
Mexcans are OF course appraised, but as he NOV.

Durango. When they discovered or suspected
his true intent: they breathed so much more
freely, that it is ludcrous to read the letters they
despatched to the capitol.
The excuses Of Gen. Urea and his subordi
mates, committed towards Mexicans themselves
are loudly complained OF, while his services in
harrassing the Americans are cheerfully &C
knowedged. We have all along felt sure tha
the Mexicans would be the first 10 cry ont agains

The order OF Gen. Worth's entrance into Pu

BEAUTIFUL ANswER.-What wonderful
questions children often ask, and wha
equally wonderful answers do they some
times give! What can. be more touching
than the following incident, which we fine
in the New York Organ?
ga friend of ours, while dressing very youn
child, few days ago, said, in rather an impa.en
tone:-'You ara such lump OF q shape, it i
impossible TO maks anything fit you The lip
of the child quivered, and looking up, it said in
deprecated tone-sGod made me- Our frient
was rebuked; and the little lump was kissed
dozen times"
"God made mel" Had the wise men OF thu
world pondered on fitting answer to such care
less remark, for a century, they could not havt

that am what you thus seem not 10 like-sucl
a little lump God has made mel" Blessings OF
thy innocent heart, sweet child-"of such are tn
