LATER FROM THE CITY OF
MEXICO.

The schooner Oregon, Capt. Whitney, arrived
at an early hour this morning from 'Tampco.
whence she sailed on the Cd inst. She brought
over twenty-five discharged soldiers of the Bal
tlnore battalion; the remainder had sailed on
the schooner Morris and other vessels for this
port. The steamships Fanny and Mary Lings-
land had gone on TO Tampico.
The report Of Santa Annals resignation had
reached Tampico, but we are still uncertain if it
has been accepted by Congress. The feelings
of the people are manifestly much embittered
against him.
From Tampico we have no local news of any
interest.
BY the arrival of the Oregon we are placed in
possession OF papers from the city Of Mexico TO
the gid OF May. The latest papers previously
received were to the 18TH Although these pa
pers are not so late as some extracts from let
ter we have already given, they contain interest
ing 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

rotosl and GuanaJuato voted each for Angel
Tras the former Governor of chihuahua.
The State of Vera Cruz voted for Gen. Her

Pueba. This we think looks favorable for Gen.

abroad than Angel Tras. Gen. Santa Anna, so

The Legislature of the great State of Jalisco

was TO annul the law restricting The freedom OF
the press. His administration aims to consult
the public sentiment-so says the Minister'S new
rescrpt-which can only be known through an
untrammelled press.
Senores Rosa and Rondero have left the min
lstry. Barenda was still Secretary of State, and
Gen. Acorta OF War. The two other portfolios
were vacant on the 22d, the Ministers having
rendered their designations.

loss of the battles of the 9Th and 9th of May

South they were vastly alarmed for the fate OF
Durango When they discovered or suspected
his true intent, they breathed SO much more free

despatched 10 the capital.
The excuses of Gen. Urea and his subordin.
ties, committed towards the Mexicans themselves
are loudly complained of, while his services in
harasslng the Americans are cheerlully acknowi-
edged. We have all along felt sure that the
Mexlcans would be first to cry out against que.
