b Later from Vera Cruz.
The steamship New Orleans, Capt. Aud,
arrived on Sunday from Vera Cruz via Tia pie
CO. She left the former port on Sunday, the
2lst Of November, with about seventy passen-
gers and $50 discharged q~uartermaster's men;
reached TamPicO the next day, and remaining
there twenty-four hours left for this port the
aGternoon Of Tuesday the 23d.
Quttasthe most important news by this arri-
val is the attempt by Santa Anna to resume
the reins oE Goyernment-nOt by force, but
by a new assumption of the authority Of Pre-
sident, from which he contends he has not yet
been legally separated. A long document has
been addressed by him from Tehuacan, dated
November LIST, to the President through the
Secretary Of State, in which, after reviewing
the history Of his resignation, he contends that
the terms Of such resignation were not suti-
GENTLY explicit, and that it can have no legal
force until it has been accepted by Congress
Again he contends that he never did resign
entirely the functions Of President; that he
only consented temporarily to a separation OF
the civil fro THE military power Of the Presi-
dent-the circumstances of the country then
requiring it-and that he took command of the
army in his character Of President. The rea-
son for the separation of the civil from the
military authority Of the President having
ceased, he now desires to resume his full legaI
position as President, until Congress shall see
fit TO accept his resignation.
The same day he addressed an ''ExPosition'
to the Mexican Congress, in somewhat the
same strain as his letter to the President, in
which he tenders to Congress his resignation
and entreats them to accept it., The reade
will at once detect the point at which be aims
for if CONGRESS accept this resignation, declar
ing the office Of President now first vacant
then Pena y Pena's exercise Of authority ha
been all along usurpalion, and his remoya
Of Santa Anna from the command OF the arm.
illegal and void.
