know nothing of the action taken by Con-
gress on The subject. We also find along
manifesto addressed to the ration by him
a few days earlier. which W. give below.
In the city Of Mexico everything is
manisestly in a state of confusion and al.
most unlicensed anarchy. Gen. Bravo
has resigned not only his command OF
renersl.in.chieG but also his commission
as general Of division. Gel. Rincon is
said TO have done the same thing.
1t is true that Gen. Almonte is under
arrest, though the causes Of his i'm
prisonmeut are not avowed. He is con-
6nedin Santiago Tl%altelolco.
Gen. Ampudia has been directed to
await further orders at Cuernnvaca.--
What suspicious thing he has done OF
contemplated we are not informed.
The accounts we find in the Mexican
papers Of the disaFsciion in Zacatecas
confirm those we published a few days
since. The official paper Of the State
publishes every represe ntation made a
gainst Santa Anna and in faryor OF the
Americans-Gen. SCOTS manifesto a.
mong the latter. This latter document
is also given in all the papers OF tho cap
iial.
The Legislature Of Durango voted for
Senior D. Francisco Elloriuga for Presi-
dent. Upon the first ballot ElloriOga re-
ceived Z votes, Santa Anna a. Herrera l,
Pedraza /, and Angel Trias /. Upon
the second ballot. Elloriuga received 8
votes and Santa Anna G. Elloriaga was
the former Governor of the State, and il
will be recollected ran Santa Anna hard
for the Provisional Presidency in the last
election by Congress.
The State of TamauIipas has voted fol
Gen. Almonte for the Presidency. and
Zacatecas rorSenor Jose Maria Lafragua
The Legislature Of Oajaca (Which has
been denounced by the Revolutionary
party in that State) voted for Gen. Her.
era. The new legislature voted for
Gen. Santa Anna for President.
II this last vote be- allowed 10 General
Herrera, the result of the election so far
will stand thus Gen. Herrera A votes,
Angel Trias 3 votes, Senior Ocampe l vote
Senior Elloriaga | vote. Gen. Almonte
vote, and Senior Lafragua | vote. Give
the yoie Of Oajaca to Gen. Santa Anna
and you have the seventh candidate fol
the unenviablo station Of President Of
Mexico.
We have seen a lette from one Of the
American officers now a prisoner in Mex
leo. Il was dated May %. He had been
promised hisliberty again and again. but
expected to DO released on tho Both be-.
You'd q doubt. He writes that General
Scott was expected to enter the capital
within eight days, and he did not antici.
pate ,hatany formidable opposition would
be made to him.
Whilst exercising supreme power,
Santa Anna on the 22d ult., directed that
every prosecution against military per
sons should DO discontinued, and all &C
cused Of offences he ut once set at large
The services Of such men are thought to
be Of suficient importance to the Govern
ment to justify this clemency. 1t looks
10 ua like an attempt Of Santa Anna TO
strengthen himself with the soldiery.
Senior Pacheco was named Minister Of
Justice on the 9th ult.
In FL Republican, of the 2sth ult,,
there is an article upon the defence Of the
capital and the propriety Of removing the
neat Of Government into the INTERIOR
The editor urges upon tho authorities Il
defend The capital To extremites, and says
that the work of erecting Notifications Il
going on actively. But this part Of the
article is not IN ita usualbold strain. From
the tone Of il, and from private letters
from the capital which we have seen, we
feel persuaded thai little opposition tc
Gen. Scouts entrance into the city will be
made. El Republican, urges strenu.
ously that the seat Of Government should
at once be transferred, Then, should
the capital fall, it urges, the Government
will still exist and form n centre Of union
and a rallying point. The editor urges
the point with such force that we are
persuaded lbs anticipated no formidable
opposition 10 Gen, SCOTS advance.
In an early article upon the subject Of
the defence Of the capital, Ell Republica.
no sets down the troops available for the
purpose as follows: Tho garrison then in
the capital (the Goth of May was not far
from 10000 men. while there were to ar.
rive, says tho editor. from the State Of
Guanajuato 5000, from the South Of
Mexico 5000 from Michoncan 1900, and
from Rueretaro !, 1000. We infer from al.
fusion made toths article in Ell Razonador
that the latter paper ridicules the idea Of
making any defence of the city.
We SEQ nothing in the papers about the
formidable works said to be going on al
Rio Frio. VIZ are inclined to tho opin,
ion that the resistance anticipated at this
point has been much exaggerated. The
Mexican papers which we have seen shy
nothing about it, and speak only Of the
forii6cotions in tho immediate vicinity Of
the capital. To the same effect is the
letter from Mr.. Kendall which we give
to-day. It is mentioned in the papers oil
the capital that All advance party Of Gen
Worth had r~econnoitered the road as fal
as Rio Fro.
The designations Of Cons. Bravo and
Rincon were induced by an order Of the
Government bestowing their command
upon Gen, Lombardini during their in,
