The steamship Palmetto, Capt. Smith
arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, hav.
ing sailed thence on the Slh ins;. She
touched at Tampico on The 2Olh aud Btazos
Santiago on the LIST inst.
Although we are no, in possession Of let
iers from Mr.. Kendall, We have advices
upon which we place every reliance as TO
the movements Of Gen. Scott. An express
! from Puebla, by the route Of Cordoys, had
arrived al Vera Cruz, announcing that
Gen. Scot, commenced his march upon the
I city Of Mexico on The l6,h inst.
| We hear not word more 10 regard 10
The oveuutes for peace said to have been
made to Gen. Scott. That he marched on
the l6h we have no doubt.
Another express he'd arrived at Vera
Cruz from Jalapa, which announces that all
the sick had left there on the 18th inst. for
Perote under small escof.. Col. Chllds
vas TO leave the follow Ing day with all the
garrison. Gen. Shields would accompany
him. The road between Jaapa and Pue.
ba is represented as free from guerilla par.
Ties Of any kind.
Abou, one thousand troops left Vera
Of Moi. Gen. Pillow, to join the army Of
Gen. Scott.
The Spanish renegade named La Vega,
Who lately repaired 10 Vera Cruz in com
/ pany with the verscous Col. Ms,a from
this city, IL represented 10 US as already in
command Of q strong guerilla party,
By the express from Jala?a we have no
Intelligence Of Gen. CadwaIader, as the
rider came b. circutous route to avoid
the predatory parties on the road.
By this arrival We have received papers
from the city Of Mexico of the 9th, I'll,
sIh and oh of June. Our previous files
came down to the och of May. The 10.
termediate dates We have not yet received
and presume they have been forwarded by
some sailing vessel. We have only had
time TO glance hastily at the papers before
US, from which We CLEAN the following
Santa Anna still remains in power lis
resignation we presume vas withdrawn; for
il is intimated that majority Of Congress
was anxious to accept it. HIS admnis,fa
ton, in consequence of this feeling 10 Con.
gress, has entirely changed It's policy and
thrown itself into the arms of the puros
One great section Of the paros, however, is
not conclaied by this movement; the I'D.
herenis Of Gomez FsrIas and Gen. Almonle
still continue their opposition 10 The Admin.
slraton. Senior Rejon, the former friend
Of Farms, is said to be the main support Of
Santa Auna's administration, although he
holds 10 public office. He is denounced as
man without principle, a trucker, &c.
4 1t is represented that opinions were nsv
er more divided in the capital than al pre-.
sent. No party seems te have decided
upon y hat course TO take, A one time the
puros and the moderados appear inclined TO
unite upon a dissolution OF Congress, and
leave every thing in the hands Of Santa An.
ma and then again the puros talk of re.
calling the absent members of their party,
and Of having a working majority 10 carry
their measures. In the mean time a quo.
rum Of Congress cannot be collected. II
we can give no ineligible account Of the
designs of parties and the Government, ii
is because such confusion and anarchy new.
er before existed in the city OF Mexico, by
the admission Of all.
! An important financial measure Of An
aya's administration has been summarlly
abrogated by Santa Anna, in Difference, as
he says, to public opinion, This has led to
the resignation of Senior Baranda, who was
not consulted as to the repeal Of the mea.
sure. Senior Lsfragua was then nominated
IN his place as head Of the State Depart.
nent, but this appointment gave dlssatislac
ton 10 the puros, who demonstrated against
It. The result was moi known.
General Almonte was still in prison, nor
are we able TO learn any thing more dein.
lie as to the nature Of his offence, his trial
not having yet come on.
The State of Chihuahua voted unanm.
/ ously for Gen. Santa Anus for President.
, This is the only additional State the vote
, of which is given in the papers before US.
] The o,es were to be opened on the 18th Of
the present month. Our impression is that
Congress will have to make choice between
d the Two highest candidates, as 90 one vii
d probably receive majority Of al! the votes
!. o. various occasions Congress has dis
e pl.yed respect for Gen. Herrera. which
e ssds to the opinion tina, he will be chosen
. We find no mention made of the inca
n suTss taken for the defence OF Inc capital
