The Picayune has papers from the city of Mexi-
co up to the Oath March.
A Guadalajara paper publishes the terms offered
by our Government for peace through Senior ATo-

lions to be paid Mexico for the line of twenty-sir
degrees from the Gulf to the Pacific, and the uni
ted States to demand no expenses of the war;
These expenses are estimated at thirteen millions
making total Of twenty-eight millions for the ter
ritory north of twenty-six degrees.

SANTA Annals INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
SENoREs DEPUTIES have just taken the oath which the
law prescrbes and in doing ought accompany with
manifestation Of my sentiments and the motives of my
duct to this respectable committee of the legislative body
The events which have taken place in the capital
known, and are of such character bind to give
them speedy and pacific termination. Surrounded by diff
cues of all kinds, interested in what is the most important
and essential for the whole naton the sustaining of
strong and decided struggle with foreign Power in which
nothing less involved than the existence of the naton
would be the best of evils to enter into with those
who ought to unite in repelng the enemy These
discords ought to disappear the mperous voice of patriot
ISM which calls upon the of the country to have but
will and aim The moments have been urgent have
the forward steps of the enemy have rushed the field
repel him. and at the moment Of doing have been
forced to leave brave and victorious army and hhe
to assume power which have repeatedly said epug
nant to my feelings and which had decided
derake.
That which has been and ought object of aspra-
ton and desire, is for sacrifice. But
all for country, and shall without thinking
what may cost to do that which the nation desires
should do have entered upon the Supreme Magsacy be-
cause have that the sole legal of termna
ting the disturbances of this capital and because believe
shall thus be able to facilitate the prosecution OF the and
TO the independence and honor Of Mexico which wish
to present unsuled and brilliant the world whichis behold
ing have before the committee of the sovereign
Congress- of that august body whose decisions have
spected and shall constantly continue respect Its dec
slons will be my invaabe guide, and have firmly resolved
to preserve pure union with the legislative body, which union
will give US final victory and the reesabishment of internal
and external peace which the happiness Of country
depends and to which all aspire. The nation has pro-
claimed the political principles which ought be the basis Of
the administration which wish to establish. ,.
Thus understand that its strength will be secured for de-
Tending itself and its rights for which its have those
guarantees which belong to all men, and which civilization
claims and which has been my aim since my the
country This will not be Denied and the nation shall still
Peg opeoieht W WISHES, WITHOUT any
rule Of conduct than its decisions As Mexican and SOL
der shall always take the road the nations and
aspire to other title than that of good CITIZEN and in

self for its good.
The Cabinet of Santa Anna is composed as fol-
lows: ID. Mariana Otero, Minister Of Foreign At
fairs ID. Juan Rondero, of the Treasury ID. Fran
cisco Suarvey Triarte, Of Justice; and ID. Jose Ig-
nacio Gutierrez, Of War.
From any thing we find in the papers il does not
appear that Santa Annals assumption of the reins
of Government is revolution. He of course dspos-
sesses Gomez Farias as chief executive officer, but
without driving the latter from his station as Vice
President. Ell Republican,, very pertinacious

the change as equivalent to a revolution all the
measures of Farias are to be abandoned, it says
but it will be proper to wait little till Santa Anna
has time to look about him. Our latest papers Just
bring him into the full enjoyment Of power. He
has avowed his intention of asking from Congress
an amnesty for all political offences committed
since 1921.
The Times has a number of Ell Republican, Of
the 9th March, from which it appears that all diff

yBarragan, the leader Of the insurgents had issued
an order to his followers to disband and retire

done in obedience TO an injunction from Santa An
