I The steamship New Orleans, Caplair
1s Wright, has arrived. from Vera Cruz, hav,
Ing leftihere on the lst inst. She touched
on The 4lh at the Brazos. Contrary TO the
zfumors7 and lhe,general aprrehensions, the
N. o. has made a prosperous voyage.
Gen. Shields is doing well; we are mos
ghappyio hear, and was shortly expected
alsYera Cruz.
The news from the city Of Mexico by
this arrival is most important. Our intel
sligent correspondent from Vera Cruz has
furnished us with the annexed extracts
gfromtle,ters written at Mexico, and from
sthe best sources Of information. The reslg-
ssnation Of Santa Anna is an important
eYentin the history of the war:
Extract from letter dated
IS s'i:e. CRY OF MEXICO, May %, 1S47:
= & u From here have nothing
worthy of notice 10 communicate except
sthai Santa Anna yesterday resigned the
snreesiidency, bur it is not known yet whe!h-
- IN eress will admit Of il. He was in.
4 duced 10 lake that course from the opposl-
ss,it,ns he meets in his views OF carrying on
Ss1he defence of the city, and from some de-
fama,oty writings which appeared IN me 10
public papers against his past conduct. 1t
is generally expected that the Americans
will be here about the 10th OF next month;
and considering The stale Of things in the
capital, Imay say that they will meet with
but slight resistance on the part OF this 60
yernment.
Through the same channel we have re-
eeiyed the following brief efexract from ano'
s,heriietter of the same date:
$50 Last week Santa Anna commenced Tor
Z 6k.,ifyiug Guadalupe. Perion, and MDlcazln-
2 3 on, near the suburbs Of the city; but unu-
4 sual ,disapprobalion was the result anu
hence his reason for offering his reslsna'
hon. II is supposed it will be accepted,
and ,ha, Herrera will receive the nomlna-
siiiii lion. onn There are only about 5000 troops in
the city.
ta We have an exciting rumor from Pue-
* bIa., mentioned 10 letters from Vera Cruz,
Sf,bat the cilzens Of Puebla had risen upon
5ep. Worth, and cut off six or seven hun
dredi of his men. The rumor was in every
mans mouth at Vera Cruz and much ere.
dencei given to il. We are happy TO say
that our correspondent 10 Vera Cruz puts
/. little faith in the rumors.
GlA We regrerto say that Major T.: Ham

III is nearly time to hear something OF
the fate of the new over,ures for peace
Y. ~ made 10 Mexico, through Mr.. Trist and
'' General Scott. There is no doubt that
4 these oyertures are very favorable 10 Mex
z ico, and liberal on our part. Though, as
~ MIR. Buchapan has recently declared, no
Zone. out oft secret diplomatic bureau,
-F,a knows wha, are The instructions given'lo
"a Mr.. Trist and General Scott, yet it is
j, conjectured that the terms proposed require
Z only a cesslon OF odii'ot"'o d"u t'o"
Mexico, 10 the United States, without
decentralization for spolialions upon our
SIS 3 citizens, or for the expense Of the war;
s and provide for the payment Of conside-
3. rabe sum 10 Mexico, in compensation for
S. The territory ceded. We thus pu. very
bighsvalue on The proposed acquisition of
&c alifornia aud New Mexico-at least
.J aiohtv millions of dollars.
The Mexican Government in 1886,
offered TO sell TO an individual 10000
square. miles in Upper California, embra.
B cling Monterey aud The bay Of ST. Francis
& IS CO, with exclusive right Of navigation and
fishing, for two hundred thousand dollars,
v and release from debt,of one million.
California is Of no value TO Mexico, for

q. her dominion.
