The Baltimore Sun Of Wednesday has
the following telegraphic despatch from
Washington!
Highly Important from Mexico.
SANTA ANNA REPORTED TO BE SnoT!
The New Orleans Picayune, extra, Of
the I'd inst, dated at l o'clock, P. NJ,
brings dates from Antonio Lizardo up to
the 10th ult. One letter states that the
Mexican Congress, on the 9th ult. after
stormy an exciting session, approved the
first section of "bill authorizing the govern
ment Of Mexico to raise fifteen millions by
the hypothecation or sale of certain property
and goods of the church. Santa Anna
opposed the bill, and his opposition so
exasperated the. soldiers that they had shot
him. The correspondent, however, ex-
presses the opinion that the report needs
confirmation, but many circumstances
render it not improbable. Such has been
the fate of many of his predecessors -
Santa Annals army was in great distress.
The passage ofthe above law certainly
produced great excitement in Mexico
The churches were closed, and every
indication of mourning and of resistance
has been eyinced by those who suppor
religious establishments. The Mexicar
Congress and Mexican press was every
where thoroughly aroused in favor of ar
active and vigorous prosecution of the war
