! The mostimportant news is the confirmation
of Santa Anna as President and Gomez Farias
as Vice President Of Mexico. The vote, it APP
| pears, was very close-Santa Anna having OBJ
tanned majority Of ten votes in the Congress,
the delegates voting by States. Gomez Faras
ran still closer, and was in a considerable mi
nority of the votes Of the deputies; his oppo-
nent. Ocampo, having majority of nine votes,
but he barely obtained a majority of the States
1t is said the election created considerable dis
| affection. Gomez Faras was sworn in as A CT
/ ing President during Santa Annals absence
| from the CAPITOL, which the Mexican papers
say will be until the Yankees are driven out of
the counfry-rather long exile, we think, his
Excelency win find this.

tisfaction and embarrassment would result
therefrom.
