In the Arco Iris of the lst inst. we find a
despatch Of Pena y Pena to the administer Of
Foreign Affairs, Pacheco, the chef purpose Of
which d to show on what ground he assumes
executive power for himself alone. We need.
not enter into this, for his authority rs acquies-
ced IN; but he claims power, not under Santa
Annals resignation and assignment of his
Office, but by virtue of the constitution which
provides for the case OF a vacancy in the Presi-
dental office. He therefore refuses to recog.
nize the authority of the associates whom
Santa gave him, Gen, Herrera and Sr. A~Icorta)
though he mentions them with all courtesy.
LATRR,-After the above was written the
ship Orphan, Capt. Williams, has arrived from
Vera Cruz, having sailed on the 4th inst.
MericO.-The Genius Of Liberty, Of Sd No.
vember, published in the city of Mexico, con-
tains the following, relative to the movements
Of Santa Anna. H
From a gentleman. an old resident Of this
country, who arrived here from Puebla on
Monday last by way Of Orizaba Cordova, we.
have received the following particulars:
According to the accounts current in the
city Of Puebla prior to the departure Of our
informant, Santa Anna, accompanied BY about
200 men and 1870 officers, had gone to Tehua-
can. Upon their arrival there the entire force
mutinied, and clamorously demanded from
Santa Anna their arroarages Of pay. To a
very limited extent the claims Of the officers
were complied with, but the poor privates re-
ceived scarcely anything. After this the force
kept dispensing, till only 40 men and a few
officers remained. The lady of Santa Anna
had left for Orizaba. Our informant says that
she had with her a considerable sized box, in
which he had positive information that the trea-
sure Of Santa Anna was contained. 1t was
borne along on the shoulders Of four attend
ants.
His carriage, a very splendid affair Of its
kind, the manufacture of Selkitk & Parks, Of
Mexico, was bought by a Mexican gentleman
OF Puebla 1t originally cost $4,000, but was
sold for $500. The reason assigned for Santasbl
disposing of his carriage was, that the peeps.
might thereby be induced to believe that he
was entirely destitute Of pecuDiary resources.
Our informant says, that he was leaving Oriza-
ba; Santa Anna and his escort were but a few
leagues from the town,

We stated in a former paper that Capt. Wal
ker was killed by the lance Of a Mexican
chief. From what we heard yesterday, such
appears not to have been the mode by which
this gallant American was slain. In one Of.
the streets Of Huamantla he was struck, almost
at the same time, by two balls-one hit him in
the forehead, and the other pierced his breast.
Al he fell he exclaimed, "boys, forward, and
don't finch a foot, Iknow I'm dying, but
don't give way" 4g 5a
Upon the arrival Of Gen. Lane all excuses
on the part of the guerrillas ceased, and Rea
speedily retreated, whether to Paroles at Tu-
lancingo, or the Government at Queretaro, it
is uncertain. .H ta. .Ma
The General is said to be acting with the
greatest energy and %promptness in REFRESHING
all outrages committed by either party.
