| Observation-Disclosures of the Senate
AS We stated would undoubtedly be the case, the
| Senate was organized at haIf-past O'Clock or
| Sunday evening.
| The Committee presented their report of nomina-
tons for President and Secretaries, which was ap-
| proved, the oath was administered, and formal
| announcement was made that the Chamber OF
Senators was constitutionaly and legitimately in
| stalled. The two branches of the National Con-
gress then Immediately commenced their sessions.
The Senators and Deputies met at the Academia
and President Pena Pena made his appearance,
accompanied by all the members of the cabinet
He then delivered address, occupying three
quarters OF an hour--a copy of which has not been
received, 1t still being in press when the diligence
left. The President of the Chamber of Deputies
replied in general terms to the Presidents discourse
The Monitor here publishes the proceedings of
the preliminary meetings of the Chamber of Sena-
tors, but they possess nothing of interest to our
readers. We observe that at the first meeting one
Senator only was wanting to complete a quorum
1t was determined to call upon Rosa, Minister of
Relations, to fill the vacancy. He, however, re-
fused to attend as Senator, because he was in
doubt whether he could discharge the duties of that
office while he held his place in the Cabinet.
We understand that the members have all re-
ceived their pay; and as a quorum in both houses
is at last in attendance, we shall look for speedy
action upon the treaty. The indications are en-
ratTf fcoti ho iaJ b,
both branches, and become the law of the land
Unless the dlsorganlZers persist in their violent
opposition, we see no reason why the treaty, as
modified, may not receive the warm approval of
Congress. 1t is certain, that if violent measures
attempted by any of the radical Puros, their
orgnators and abettors will receive severe punish
ment from the hands of the Supreme Government.
7amaulipas.-The Governor of Tamaulipas has
issued a circular summoning meeting of the Le-
gisature of that State, to vote for President of
the Republic, and Senators and Deputies of the
General Congress. The 2Sth instant, is named as

State of Jalisco, has taken strong grounds in favor
of peace. A popular movement in support of it
having been set on foot.
San Luis.-The election of a Governor and
Vice-Governor was about taking place at our last
advices at San Luis, and much excitement was
the consequence The Puros are striving to place
another Adame in the Chair of State, that is ano-
Their instrument of disorder The Conservative
party in the Legislature, were likely to lose two
of theirsnumbers in consequence of Samano, one
of the Deputies aspiring to be Governor.
The Special Con,msission.-The evidence in the

airy meeting of the members of the Senate, on the

The health of the troops at Pachuca, has much
improved of late. About ninety recruits for the 9th
who reached this city by the last train from Orzi
ba, will repair to Pachuca with the return train.
From Pachuca-A train under the command of
Major Taliaferro, came in from Pdchnca, on the
It'll 1t consisted often Wagons-tWo OF them laden
with about sixty bars of silver, valued at $500
each. 1t was accompanied by an escort of twenty
Dragons, and some forty the 9th Infantry. The
officers who accompanied the train were Capt.

Commssary, Of the 9th Infantry Lieuts. Bradford,
of the 18th Artillery; Schonoever. Sd Dragon, and
Dr. Stevens LIST Surgeon of the 9th. The train will

We know not what credit to attach to the safe
nent contained in the following article which we
find in the Free American of the It'll. If true, it
betrays condition of affairs not very favorable to
he longer continuance of the domination of the
white race in Mexico If even in the rich and
Dopuous state of Vera Cruz they are unable to pro-
ect themselves it cannot be expected that they will
De able to do in the more thny settled portions
IF the country. This Indian movement is even
more general than we had expected.
Indian Disturbances seems that the whites in
he interior of the State of Vera Cruz, have asked
our government for arms to defend themselves |
against the Indians, who have commenced reVo- |
ution against them.
What course our government will pursue we are |
hardly able to guess but we think that II 1t could
lot give aid to Yucatan, it can hardly aid Mexico
We cannot let this occasion pass, without making |
ome reflections the future position OF Mexico,
should the American troops leave the country.
The existing war between Mexico and the United |
States has taught the Indians that those who have
10 long oppressed them, are weak and can easily be
expelled MANY of these Indians have been en-
,loyed by our army and have had dealings with it
hey have had chance to compare the treatment
eceived by them from their present conquerors and
hat received from their former masters They have
cen the position of soldiers and their own. On
me side they saw liberty; on the other slavery.
While their officers were flying from the battle
ield, they have seen the Indian remain there, and
lie Should the white population of Mexico be
xpelled by the unfortunate slaves who have so
ong been oppressed by them, they can only blame
themselves for it. 1t is almost certain that the
whole country will be overrun by the Indians after
he departure of our troops, and the scenes of Yu-
atan will be renewed in all the States of the Re-
ublic of Mexico

ave entered the town Of Tamiagua, and committed
excesses
