~ Santa Anna, it is now certain, has
resigned the Presidency Of Mexico. In
his letter Of resignation he talks much q
bout the sacrifices which he alleges he
has made, and says he is impelled 10 his
present course by considerations Of pa
tr,otism alone. He speaks of projected
revolution in the city of Mexico, by his
enemies, which he thinks cyn be preven-
ted only by his resignation. The whole
document is characteristic Of the man
full of bonibast and self-adulation.

The friends Of Gov. Skunk say, he is
poor and assign that as reason why, in
their opinion, he ought 10 be reelected
&c such be the case, we should think he
ought 10 engage in some other business

fasien him TO it any longer. Rather lei
the man go free and engage in something
more profitable, lest he remain poor as

instant we learn that Col. Doniphan, with
a portion of his command, passed down
the Rio Grande on the 5lh instant. The
Flag thus speaks Of them;
1.-The unshorn boards and goat and
deer skin clothes of many of them re-
minded us Of descriptions we have read OF
the inhabitants Of some of the countries
Of the Russian empire. They stopped in
town a couple Of hours. Col. Doniphan
is a stout, rough-featured, good-natured-
looking sort of man. He brought along
with him Clark's battery, and ten pieces
Of cannon captured at Sacramento. The
sick, &C., forty or fifty wagons, with sew
eral hundred mules, were turned over to
the quartermaster.'
The volunteers are returning from
Gen. Taylor with great rapidity. Ere
this he is left without any of the volun-
teers who fought under him at Buena Wis
ia. The letter we give below from our
special correspondent contains the latest
information as to the probable movements
of Gen. Taylor.
Brig. Gen. Hopping has arrived in
Matamoras, and occupies Gen. Gushing
former quarters.
SALTILLo, MEXICO, May 21. l647.
There is no doubt that we shall march
upon San Luis at very early period
as soon as a sufficient number of troops
arrive from below-and from San Luis
10 The city Of .Merico. A communication
received from Gen. Scott by Gen. Taylor
a few days ago, giving brief account OF
the battle near Jalapa, directs Gen. L. to
move at once, or as early as possible from
San Luis, where he expected the letter
would reach him, TO the city of Mexico.
So that Gen. Taylor will not probably re-
main any, time at San Luis, unless he re-
ceives orders there. but, leaving garrison
for that place, will proceed with the resi-
due Of his command TO the city OF Mexl-
co. The command will probably never
reirace its steps this way, as there will be
no occasion for it. | have, therefore, a
fair prospect Of f"revelling in the halls OF
the Moniezumas" as well as some other
people, and if live through the campaign
and return ria Vera Cruz, | shall have
seen quite as much of the country as
care about.
Col. Doniphan with the residue of his
command. arrived at camp this morning
and reported TO Gen. WooL. 1t is thought
that the artillery companies under Capt
WEIGHTMAN, attached TO this command
will consent to remain during the war
but, hardly think such will be the case
The regiment is under orders TO march
on Sunday, the 23d. for the Brasos, there
to be discharged. The two Illinois regi-
ments will march from here on the 30th
or 3lst instant, and the Arkansas cavalry
on the lst of June. The two Indiana
regiments, I'd and Sd, will proceed on
Monday. The troops, then, of the ole

FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.

FROM THE n. O. PICAyUNE OF JUNE Ia.
We have received by the way of Tam
pico, our files from the capital as late as
the 29th of Nav. This is week later
than the papers received last week by the
Oregon.
Santa Annals letter Of resignation is
published in the papers of the 18th ulil-
mo, but we know nothing OF the action
taken by Congress on the subject.
In the city of Mexico every thing is
manifestly in state of confusion and al
most unlicensed anarchy. Gen. Bravo
has resigned not only his command oi
General-in-chiet, but also his commission
of General of Division. Gen. Rincon is
SAID to have done the same thing. More
of the causes in our next.
|; is true that Gen. Almonte IS under
arrest, though the causes OF his imprlson'
ment are not avowed.
Gen. Ampudia had been directed to a
wait further orders at Cuernavaca. Wha
suspicious tlling he has done or contem
plated we are not informed.
Gen. Valencia and Gen. Salas were or
dered to leave the city of Mexico on the
| 24lh uItimo for the city of San Luis Pc
tosi. to take command Of the army Of tn,

The inconvenience and cosiliness of the
Sub Treasury scheme. The Govern

New Orleans, while its money is in New

give drafts on the treasury at Washing

at one per cent. discount. This (says
the Journal,) is SO much lsss to the citi-
