By his arrival We have received papers from

had time 10 glance hastily al The papers before u.s.
from which we CLEAN The following:
Santa Anna still remains in power. his re-
sicna,ion we presume was Withdrawn; Tor II IS
minated that majority OF Congress was anS-

pie, a trucker, &c.
Ii is represented that opinions were never more
divided in the capital than al present, NO parry

| At one time the pnros and the 10de1adoS appear
inclined 10 unite upon dissolution OF Congress,
and leave every thing in the hands OF Santa anna;
and then again The pros talk OF recalling The ao-
sent members OF their party, and oil having

the mean time, quorum of Congress cannot
often be collected. II we can give no Ineligible
account of The designs OF parties and the Govern
neni, il is because such confusion and anarchy
never before existed in The city al Mexico by The
| admission OF all.
An important financial measure Of Anaya 5

opinion. This has led 10 the resignation OF Sc

nature Of his offence, his lria! no! having yet
come on.
The State OF Chihuahua voted unanimously
for General Santa Anna Tor President. This is
the only additional State, the vote Of which is
given in the papers before US. The votes were
10 be opened on The 18th OF the presen, month.
Our impression is, that Congress will have 10
make choice between the Two highest candidates.
as no one will probably receive majority oil all
The woes On various occasions Congress has
dsnIsyei erea, respect for General Herrera,

taken Tor The defence OF The capital. The papers
say. ,ha, General Scott pretended 10 MS troors

O, Mexico, they will he abe 10 take il with the
loss Of Two or three hundred men only; bul thai
il Bravo or Valencia command, il will cost them
more dear. The Republican, der:des This gossip,
though il sounds very naln!a!o us.
The Governmea, is urged By letters from Puc-

him tina, by the end OF June The President sup
lor ten thousand men under their respective COM
mand. 1, asks for the views Of Gen. Scott on va
rious questions suggested, and gives him dilec-
lions how 10 operate with disaflccied Mexican
States. The Republican, regards This LATER por-
ticn az very important, but pronounces the Sccre-
JARVIS representations as to The number OF troops
to lie in the field utterly false. How this leller
was intercepted We ale not informed.

good number Of private letters. Several 10 Col.
