the present incumbent of the presidential CHAIR is APP
parenuy pure man, and really anxious to regenefae
Mexico, and restore her 10 position OF respect ana I'm
portance among the nations OF the earth Nevertheless
he cannot be segarded as statesman OF high ORDER OF

over surrounded by the ambitious and the protgae,
while the satellites OF Santa Anna are evidently defer
mined to avail themselves OF the hrst opportunity TO re-
their patron to power. Again. there is party IN

point to several OF the New Orleans papers state IN the
most positive manner that the Mexicans were fully pre-
pared 10 cut loose from the general government We
have before documents issued by Montaya the
general in command Of the State Of IamauPas and the
