There has been a rumor in town for several
days past, that The parlsans Of Santa Anna had
Withdrawn from Congress, in compliance with
The instructions OF their Chief for The purpose OF
forcing that body to dissolve, not having quorum.
Their ostensible reason is that they were enragec
at the non.succeSs OF Cumplido in reaching The
Presidency. This rumor has been gaining
strength, and The Monitor OF this morning refers
10 il as being true, and threatens 10 publish the
names OF the secedeTs, some OF whom 1t says,
are now actually in this city. | hear also, from
a private source, that as soon as Anaya found
out their object he expressed his determination
to arrest the delinquent members and compel
Them to attend 10 their duties, in consequence oil
which some of them left Queretaro in hurry
These parisans of Santa Anna all belong to The
Puro party, and are Tor war 10 the knife. All
the Puros, however, are not Santa Anna men,
and there are some persons here who assert mat
the reason they oppose the peace propositions is
that they desire 10 keep the American army in
the country until they can establish the Govern
menl upon finn basis. In fact, | have beer
told that many Of the Puro Deputies have writ
ten 10 their friends here, stating That this was their
only reason for opposing treaty OF peace.
FL Moreiano Of the 18Th publishes an extract
of letler from New Mexico, which states that
the Americans had received reinforcement oil
600 men, making their entire force 100. They
had large amount OF ratonS and munitions oil
war and were drilling the recruits. The letter
also slales that 5000 Americans were on their
march to occupy Chihuahua.
On The 18Th ult. a corvette and frisale OF The
u. S. navy entered the port ofGuaymas, demand
ing surrender OF The place. The commando!
of the forces writes to The Governor OF Sonora that
in order 10 prevent the horrible consequences OF
bombardment, he had concluded 10 remove his
forces TO Bocachibampo, GU, OF reach OF The guns,
and there make a stand, although he does not
seem 10 think it would be successful one
Doubtless, long ere this, the "staTs and stripes"
are waving over Guaymas. -

Anna in severe terms for his conduct in declaring
himself determined 10 oppose negotiations Tor
peace. Ell Progresso, Of Guam; iaIo is absolute
ly savage in It's denunciations, an declares that
he should be made TO answer wi h his head for
his treason. A few short months ago, these same
editors were fawning upon the "hero Of San Ja-

Advices we're received to-day from Queretaro
10 the 23d inst. The Puros were making grea.

the private deliberations and secrets OF The Coun'

whose finger is plainly to be seen in this. Inc So
