MANIFESTO OF SANTA ANNA.

Since my return to the country | have upon
various occasions addressed you, giving an ac-
count of my operations as chief of the army and
as First Executive Magistrate; but holding no
longer those positions | now address you with
the most profound grief, to complain to you of
the cruel ingratitude of some, and of the per
fidy of others, who not content to have acted
with the most criminal indifference during the
period of the great conflict, are now striving to
throw upon me alone the responsibility for
those great public calamities to which they
have so much contributed.
Such conduct does not surprise me, for a

audacity reached the pitch of holding me up
as a TRAITOR before community which had
been witnesses of my repeated services in the

sacrifices | had made to save them from the
yoke with which they were threatened.

SUFFERING IN ENGLAND.-Late accounts from
England predict much distress in England and
Ireland, owing to the immense failures which
have taken place, which will necessarily throw
a large body of operatives out of employment,
and The famine, which it is said has already
commenced, must bring disease and death to
thousands-nor can entire relief be expected
from the United States, as the graneries of this
country were empted of their surplus produce
during the past year. The arrangement of the
money market of England, will also tend to
stint the measure of reliefto the poor, and the
pressure will extend through all classes of so

"When shall we have peace?' is
r A We n N A, O II lO:

"When shall we have peace?' is
question in the mouth of nearly every one
opposed to their own country in the war
with Mexico. They appear to be exceed
ingly anxious for peace, yet, by encourag-
ing the enemy, they prevent the termna-
ton Of the war, and q settlement of the dill
ficulties between this country and Mexico.
This is no bare assertion of the democrats,
but the opinion Of those connected with our
army in Mexico who have had the best op-
portunities for observing the effect of the
federal speeches and newspaper articles,
upon the Mexican people and government.
This opinion was expressed by Col. Dono-
phan, in his speech at ST. Louis, in which
he says:-"FeIlo,o Citizens, The speeches
'ohich are made in opposition to this ,rar,
are said to emanate from hepeacs part 9;
but ] say they are made by those WHO
ARE POSTPONING THE VAR
ETERNALLY." And Col. Doniphan
is Whig.
1t is said that Col. Curtis, ofthe Sd Ohio
Regiment, has written letter to some of
his federal friends in Putnam county, in
which he tells them that sTHE RESPON-
SIBILITY OF PROLONGING THE
WAR BELONGS TO THE WHIG
PARTY" Col. Curtis is Whig.
Such was unquestionably the opinion of
Gen. Taylor, which led him to declare that
those who are opposing their country in
this war CARE WORSE THAN MEX
lCANS." And these federalists will have
it that Gen. Taylor belongs to their party.
The Wayne County Democrat of the
22d ult., says:-"During the past week
wo have had the pleasure of conyersing
with quite number of the returned volun.
teers, and find the opinion universal among
them, that the war would have been over
before this time, had it not been for the
reasonable and infamous course of the
whig party. The whig papers and
speeches are circulated among the Mexi-
cans, and they believe that our government
will be unable to prosecute the war much
longer owing to the distracted condition Of
the people of the U. S., and really contend
against our arms with the foolish belief
hat the President will be compelled to with
draw our forces and yield them their own
terms.''
If the wings are SO exceedingly anxious
for peace let them adopt that coures which
is best calculated to bring it about.
