he can keep The government moving though

Tie Dictdiorsfip-El Monitor Repub.
Iieauor, Of the 18Th ult. contains lengthy
article on the subject Of the Dictatorship.
Up TO that date Santa Anna was not pro.
claimed, nor had he proclaimed himself
Dictator. Indeed The MoLaot rdlculed
the idea that be Designed 10 become one.
The rumor to that effect which prevailed
IN the Capital, is alleged TO have originated
WITH and been propaga;cd by his enemies
and he enemies oil the country.
The Change Of Pohcy.-The Monitor
asserts that Tho new Cabinet IS not 10 be en-.
urely formed Of Pa~os Democrats as sta.
led IN some Of the Journals, aud that the
new Ministers viii carry out the policy Of
their predecessors. Santa Anna thinks
that without a full Ministry the Min.
Isters Of War and Finance, together with
he Clerk. in the Bureau OF Foreign Rela
tons, he will be abe. for the time belng 10
carry on the government.

convinced that It is impossible 10 euter into
any arrangement for peace; were il to be
concluded, i. would prove fatal 10 the ma.
uonaluy Of Mexico. The defenders Of the
nation are, therefore, encouraged with bril-.
liant hopes Of final success, as it is IN.

lug eur former disasters. All Of us who
sincerely wish the continuation Of the war,
look upon an equlvoc.l policy as dangerous,
and all ovetlures 81 peace perllous means
10 secure It; for this reason We a;e opposed
to any change IN the politics which may
give II pacific appearance"
Congress - Congress met al the Capital
al last on the 10Th, and the proposition Of
declaring recsss, was lost by one vote.
f. Republican,, of the 18Th, IN leader
Of great length, recommends that the forces
winch are intended to defend the Capital,
should be we'll aud properly Instructed and
drilled, as they have plenty If tine before
lbe American army arrives there. Being
chiefly recruits, the Generals commanding
them, he ssys, should take great pnins 10
their drll. The editor says that the chief.
talns should bear IN mind that that s to be
their last effort, aud consequently no exer.
ton TO have II successful should be spared
The Peace Pdrty.-El Razouador, the
peace paper, says that It has recommended
peace only because il is convinced tbgt the
government would not or could not carry
on the war: but at the same time il ap-
proves Santa Annals withdrawal Of his re.
sgnailon, and praises him very much, say.
lug that he is the only man IN the country
who can keep alive the war spirit.
The Presidency. The Legislature Of
AguascaIlon'es had given lis vote to Gen.
Almonte. 4 letter from Oaiaca says that
Santa Anna has been unanimously nomna
ted President by The Legislature Of that
State.
/ Gen. BaneneIi died on the evening Of the
llth.
Gen. Tdlencid-Gen. Valencia had re-
ported having arrived at San Luis Potosi
on the 5'h June, where he took immediate
commsnd Of the army. General Salas had
also arrived there and taken charge Of his
post.
Gen. BuSidmente. Busiamente
was at lrapuaIo on the 9th, where be was
TO begin Immediately 10 raise forces from
the Stare Of Guanjuslo. II was thought
that Gen. Alcorla nad issued an order by
which Bustsmente would be obliged to 20
as far as Slnaloa, in order to take command
of the forces there-whlch, according 10
EI Monitor, are NONE.
Cdnaliso Pqrdoaed. 1t seems, from
what we see 10 the Montor OF the lin, that
Santa Anna and Canalzo had "made
friends once more, ard, consequently, the
examination Of the latter for his conduct al
Cerro Gordo was dropped. Although II
vas reported that he had been appointed
Governor OF the State Of Vera Cruz, he
was to be employed IN defence of the Cap.
