Sincerely animated by these we have the
honor of nlacinR our crede ntials In YOUR handa

Sincerely animated by these sentiments, have the
honor Of placing our credentials in your hands
REPLY OF HIS ExCELIENcY THE PRESIDENT.
GESrLEMEN-With the greatest satisfact ton have
received from your hands the Credentials which you
have for the exchanges Of rathcatons the
treaty signed in the city Of Guadalupe Hidalgo with
the notifications made in Washington by the Senate
which treaty has just received the approval of the
Mexican Congress-
owe you the most expressive thanks for the sent
ments of friendship and good will which you have
manifested towards the Mexican Republic. In its
name you that these sentiments are complete
y recproc ated and that Chief Magistrate Of the
Republic. desire nothing ardently then that our
treaty may become the immutable basis OF that con-
slant harmony and good understanding which should
cordially prevail between two republics in order that
they be prosperous powerful and respected in the
general society of nations.
We learn from Senior Carena, that II is the uni
versa expectation and belief of the Mexicans, that
Santa Anna will return to Mexico, as soon as our
army leaves the country Those who have incur
red the hostility of this powerful chief, looking
to a division of the country into independent re-
publics, as the only thing that save them from
the evils OF continuation OF his oppressive and
corrupt rule. Hence their eagerness to forward
the Sierra Madre movement, which 1t IS expected
will include nearly all the prominent chiefs OF the
liberal or Federal party in the North OF Mexico
ALMoNTE.
This distinguished Mexican is about to visit the
United States with his family and will probably
take up his permanent residence in the city of New
Orleans, where he spent much of his youth, and
acquired much of the valuable information he
possesses. He has lost all his popularity in Mexi-
CO, and is thoroughly disguised with the country.
Almonte is considerably ahead Of his countrymen
in light and information, and will, no doubt, feel
much more at home in New Orleans at his old
trade of selling hardware, than IN dealing with the
impractlcable races of Mexico. ~. o. Delta

AFFAIRS IN YUCATAN.
Advices have reached Havana from Merida to
the 9th ut. They were much more encouraging
to the friends of humanity in the peninsula. The
Yucatecos had attacked the Indians on several de-
Gillian, the latter had been driven from their en-
trenchments, and pursued league and half into
the interior. At Laguna the endemic fever, pecu-
liar TO that spot, was making great ravages. The
city of Merida Is crowded with fugtives from the
country, of whom there are three times more wo-
men than men, and more than halt are in state
of poverty and nfrm health. 1t is stated that 1000
men, of the Indian race, living In the environs Of
Campeachy, have offered their services to the 60
vernment to fight against the insurrectlOnlsts.
THE REPUBLIC OF SIERRA MADRE.
The New Orleans Delta says, that Don Jose F..
G.. Carena had arrived In that city tor the purpose
OF procuring printing press and the necessary
materials, to commence at Tampco the publica-
ton of journal devoted to the establishment of a
republic of Sierra Madre.
The Delta learns from Senior Carena, that the
plan which has been concocted and agreed upon
at Tampico, embraces the States of Tamaullpas,
NueVO Leon, ana parts OF the states OF vera CTuZ
and Puebla with inv ltation to- the adjacent
States TO Join in the movement.
The Delta thinks that many of the Mexicans are
ripe for the movement, and that all they will need
insure will be the aid of some of gal
liant volunteers and a supply of ammunition, and
suggest that there will be a force Of at least 4O0O
American soldiers in the new republic, as soon as
it is proclaimed, ready to take part in its defence
| and organization.

ford, sailed from Vera Cruz the 4th inst, for
