The U. s. steamship New Orleans.
Capt. Edward Aud, arrived yesterday
forenoon from Vera Cruz, whence she
sailed on the evening Of lie 9th instant.
She arrived at Vera Cruz from this port
on Thursday, the 6lh inst, and landed
her distinguished passengers, General
Kearny and the Hon. Mi. Sewer, amid
salvos Of artillery from the. castle, the
frigate, and the forts in the city,
Gen. Kearny was installed as Gov.
ernor OF Vera Cruz, on Saturday, the
9Th inst. He was 10 receive the troops
in and around the city on Monday last.
Mr.. Sewer left Vera Cruz on the 9Th
inst. for the city Of Mexico, under tho
escort Of Capt. Tilghmsn's company,
about sixty strong. Captain Tllghman
escorted Santa Anna from Jalapa to
Antigua. We learn from Capt. Aud
that Santa Anna did not sail till We'd
nesday, the 5lh inst. From the Arco
Iris we learn that he took his passage
on the Spanish brig Martino.. 20
Capt Milton arrived at Vera Cruz
on the 5lh instant, from the city Of
Mexico, with dispatches for Wishing

tested with small hands of armed men,
masked, who comuh, depredations dai.

During the week ending the ist inst,
there were Sc deputies and 8 senators
present at Quere,aro. The Monitor
says it required only IS more deputies
and 8 senator's TO form a quorum to
proceed TO business; but we regret TO
say tha. some members Of Congress
had lett Queretaro under the pretext
Of reluctance to vote for the ratifica-
ton Of the treaty. From the very
earnest and lndigna nj manner in which
the Star mentions this subject, we infer
that the gravest apprehensions are en-
lertained lest a sufficient number Of
faclious deputies should withdraw, and
prevent a quorum from assembling
Opinions are various as to the probable
ratification Of the treaty. The Star is
urging upon the Mexicans the absolute
necessity Of giving it their sanction, IL
they would preserve their nationality.
Upon the whole, we cannot but regard
the ratification as at least problematical,
although we hope for the best. The
news Of the action Of our Senate upon
the treaty reached Mexico at the end
of last month, and was despatched at
once to Queretaro. The Star an
nounced it on the Cd inst, and gave
full particulars on the Sd. 'H." ""
Ex-President Gen. Bustamente ar
rived at San Luis Potosi on the 9Th of
March, with a division of troops from
Guanajuato. He repaired thilher by
order Of the gene,al government, as is
to suppress any symptoms Of
rebellion which Paredes may attempt.
The election in the city Of Mexico
took place on Sunday. the Cd instant
Everything went of quietly. The A.
merican troops, agrceabIy to orders,
marched out at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing by the Penon gate, leaving only
'he proper guard. They remained tilI
after the pulls were closed at 8 o'clock
In Vera Cruz they had n report that
the Mexicans took advantage Of the
Of our troops, and rose and
pronounced. II was "a weak inven.
tien." .sllI 90
The Progreso Of Queretaro publishes
communications from Durango, which
state that Governor Angel TTrias, Of
with some Of his officers,
was taken prisoner on the eIhi6th Of
March at San Cruz de Rosaies BY a.
body Of Americans proceeding from
the camp at Buena Vista. The action
Al Rosales began at nine in the morn
ing, and lasted until night, when the
Americans carried the plaza by assault.
Eight pieces Of artillery, six esnieriss;
"a smaller kind of ordinances, and more
than a thousand muske,s, fell into the
hands Of the Americans. On the I7th,I
according to this Mexican account, the
American troops sacked the place.L
Whatever they found in the houses'of
my value, they Ioudsd into their wag.r
ms; every thing else they Destroyed
The Progrese is at a loss what TO make
,f this affair. No less so arc we thia
account being the first We
