NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
FROM VERA CRUZ.

Another steamer has arrived at New Orleans
with dates from Vera Cruz on the 22d utimo.
Quite The most important by this arrival (says the
Picayune) the attempt by Santa Anna the ens
of Governmentnot by force but by assumption of the
authority OF President from which he contends he has not yet
been legally separated long document has been addressed
by him from Tehuacan, dated November st the President
through the Secretary Of State in which, after reviewing the
history of his resignation he contends that the terms of such
resignation not sufficiently explicit and that can have
legal force until it has been accepted by Congress He
says that he did resign entirely the functions OF Pre-
sden that he only consented temporarily separation of
the civil from the military power of the Presidenhe crcum-
stances Of the country then requiring it, and that he took
mand Of the army his character Of President The reason
for the separation of the civil from the military authority of the
President having ceased he desires his full
legal position as President until Congress shall fit accept
his resignation.
The same day he addressed Exposition TO the Mexi
can Congress in somewhat the strain his letter 10 the
President which he tenders TO Congress his resignation
and them acceptt The reader will at once de-
the point which he aims for if Congress accept this
resignation, declaring the Office OF President now first vacant
Pena exercise of authority has been all along
usurpaon and his removal of Santa Anna from the command
of the army illegal and void.
