"STAND FROM UNDER."-The cores
pendent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, writ
ing from New York on Thursday evening,
says
BY the arrival of the steamship Cambria
at Boston this morning, we are in receipt OF
two weeks later news from England, and
sorry news it is to our New York specula-
tors, many of whom will be ruined by the
great reduction in bread-stuffs on the other
side of the Atlantic. As might be expected,
the -four and grain quotations have created
a tremendous futering in this market, and
made, om2aratively speaking, paupers of
men who counted themselves worth thou
sands yesterday.

SANTA Annals RECEPTION IN MEXICO
Effect Of Gen. SCOTS Proclamation upon
the Czergy.-The Baltimore Sun of Tues
day last, says: The letters from the city of
Mexico, in the Spanish paper at N. Orleans,
La Patria, are written by an intelligent
and seemingly impartial and well-informed
correspondent. In that paper we find an
other communication dated the 22d May,
parts of which are extremely interesting.
We have at length an account of the cir
cumstances attending the return of Santa
Anna to the Capital. Itappears that on the
18th, the Repubzicano published complete
and triumphant vindication of Gen. llinon,
in which Santa Annals conduct was exhibit
ed in most odious light.
The populace were furious against their
lately idolized General, and when two days
after, Santa Anna entered the City, he was
received by the rabble with indignant cries
of ssdeath to Santa Anna," che sells US to
the Yankees" and volleys of stones in all
directions. The General-in-chief made his
way to the National Palace with all conve-
nient speed, and the guards were doubled to
prevent more dangerous outbreaks. Thus
far, observes the writer, the press has been
prevented from making public these out
RACES. .-
With respect to the clergy, they have
wonderfully modified their views since the
PRONUNCIATION of Gen. SCOTS proclamation.
Now that they do not fear being molested,
the clergy keep their purse strings tightly
drawn.

The FORCES UNDER GEN. TAYLOR
The Union of Thursday night contradicts
the statements which have been made in va
rous papers in regard TO the smalness of
the force allotted to that portion of our ar
my in Mexico which is under the command
of General Taylor. 1t gives certain statis-
tics from the War Office, which it sums up
as follows: 'It will be thus seen that, in
stead Of his being reduced to $500 troops,
he will have at least 10,00O-perhaps TO-
500-almost twice the number which they
allow him. Nothing but some extraordina-
ny casualty-troops cast away by sea, or
cIoven down by pestience-can defeat the
calculations of the War Office"
To dispute the apprehensions created by
the fact that the larger portion of the troops
now en- route for Mexico are designed for
the army under Gen. Scott, it says: "lf
fewer troops are now sent to Gen. Taylor
than to Gen. Scott, it is because the theatre
of operations is different because Scott is
marching to the capital-in the heart of a
more populous country-in the midst of a
more numerous enemy-and striking at OBJ
iects which seem better calculated to termi-
nate an honorable war by an honorable
peace"

The Leonardtown Beacon says: "It al
fords US pleasure to state that we have not
heard of a single case of actual suffering
from want of food in St. Mary's. This, we
expect, however, is attributable in great
measure to the liberality of our citizens,
who are ever prompt to avail themselves q
the gracious privilege Of extending relief to
the needy."

DEsTITUTIoN IN PRIRCE GEoRGE's.-A
meeting was called at Upper Marlboro to
devise means to relieve the suffering poor.
The Gazette says:
In some sections of the country the a
mount of suffering is very great, and calls
for immediate relief. The wealthy citizens
of these sections have given liberally-but
we understand that the scarcity of corn
renders it almost impossible to supply those
in want.

The Washington Union disturbances
the statement that General Taylor is about
to advance upon San Luis Potos. 1t says:

when the war broke out, for fear of the vo-
mto. Nor could we very we'll advance to
San Luis Potosi until the rainy season COM
mences. Gen. Taylor's correspondence
shows that he is aware Of all this, much
better than those who assail us''

A NEW SPEcULATIoN.-The English
have discovered new object for importa-
lion. The natives of Australia have mag
nifcent teeth which they are willing to part
with for mere triaes, as handkerchiefs,
knives, or other things of like value. An
English merchant in Australia has entered
largely into this speculation, having sent sew
eral boxes Of human teeth to London whe
they have been eagerly bought up by the
Dentists.

SANTA Annals LETTER OF RESIGNATION.
The Union of Thursday night contains a
translation of this document, which, it says,
comes to it through source in which all
confidence may be reposed. The letter of
resignation opens with display of the au-
thor's sacrifices for his country, sc. This
part of it our readers can imagine: tits USE
less to copy it. We give only that part of
it in which he declares the reasons for his
resignation
"The enemies of my country are des-
patching in every direction their artful emf
saries; they propagate distrust and calum-
ny; and although their efforts should con-
vince every Mexican that / am regarded as
an obstacle to their acquiring sway over the
country, they nevertheless succeed in mis-
leading the judgments of many, and ensnare
and deceive them by faltering their inclina-
tons or their interests. Those who shrink
from the defence of the country, and whose
aspirations are for peace, see that they can
not obtain their object while | am at the
head of the Government, because they are
aware that my determination has been to
combat unto death. The various factions
into which the country is split, forgetting
now the common danger, give play to their
desires, and hope through change to OBJ
tain possession of that power, which is now
on the eve Of departing from the hands of
the nation, unless decisive and powerful
effort is made to defend it. The views of
the external enemy, and the conflicting in
terests of parties in the interior, are directed
to me individually, as common target for
all and find myself placed in position
i will not say dangerous, for ! do not
fear dangers-but extremely difficult and in
which can render no service. The at
tempts at revolution are public, and the
Government holds in its hands the thread
of them; and it is also publicly known
that the enemy dare not advance from Pue-
bla upon Mexico, as he loudly threatens to
do, unless he is aided by revolutionary
movement by single word and it is my
duty to utter it, as the last and most eff
cient service which is left me to render
That word is the formal resignation, which
tender in this note, of the provisional pre-
sidency of the republic, with which the ma
ton honored me. So earnest is my convic-
ton, that have no hesitation in asserting
that ought not to continue in the post, nor
even bear the title of President of the re-
public; and therefore pray the sovereign
Congress to be pleased Immediately to ac
cept my resignation, and declare itself in

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

The Picayune Of the l lth inst announces
the arrival at New Orleans, on the day pre-
vious of the schooner Zenobia, with later
advices from Mexico, she having left Vera
Cruz on the 3d. This arrival brought a
copy ofthe American Eagle containing Santa
Annals letter of resignation, and few new
items of interest. For a notice of Santa
Annals letter, see below.
The Eagle says that Santa Annals resig-
nation was followed up by that of General
Bravo, as Vice President. There is proba-
bly, some confusion in this, (says the Plea
vune) As we understand it the Vice Pre-
sdency was abolished to get rid of Gomez
Farias, and has not been e-established.-
General Bravo was recently in command at
Puebla, and yet more recently at the head
of what is called the "Army of the Centre.''
He may have resigned this post.
The Eagle says that the election for Pre-
sident will take place on the 18th inst. By
this we presume is meant that the votes will
then be officially counted and the result de-
clared. We have no further returns by the
arrival, but the Eagle thinks Gen. Herrera
will be the President.
Gen. Scott reached Puebla on the 2Sth,
the day before Gen. Twiggs arrived there
Every thing was quiet in the city, our sol
diers and the inhabitants being apparently
on the best terms.
small accommodating party of our troops
had been met some twenty miles beyond
Puebla. They had encountered no enemy
so far. The Mexicans are erecting works a
short distance this side Of the capital bu
the Eagle treats them as unimportant and
not likely to be completed.
The Eagle gives it as report that Gen
Almonte is prisoner, on an accusation o.
holding correspondence with Gen. Scott
Benjamin Thomas, Sergeant Major of the
1st infantry, died on Sunday, the 30th ult.
in Vera Cruz, and was buried on Monday
morning with military honors. The Ser
geant was a valuable officer, says the Eagle
and his demise was regretted by all who knew
him.
1t has been ascertained that onl y one mar
was killed with Col. Sewers. The impru
dence of the Colonel in venturing ahead o.
his party cost these two lives.
A naval expedition against Tabasco, un'
der the Commodore in person was talked
of at Vera Cruz as about to start at once
The following vessels were mentioned a.
likely to compose it: The frigate Raritan
sloop of war John Adams, ship German
town, the Etna,, (now at Frontera,) thu
Spitfre, (di,to,) the Scorpion and the gun
boats Bonita and Mahonese. Should th'
sloop of war Albany arrive in time sh'
would probably join in the expedition.
