A detachment Of American soldiers was

O'clock some Of iliem started for I bslt in

1.-THE d. bate upon Senior Otero's propo-s
sitienao restraint the Pretident from alien
atIrg any territory save Texas, is said to
hSss been very p,qnsnt. TIE exact vote
upon j, was % in favor 81 it, and 46 against
it. Congress By aneqnally decisive vo,e,
had refused TO publisi, the debate upon il.
sH Razennd0y says tliat the large vote
sgains.it was brought abou; BY combin-
ntiin Of those who oppose peace on any
terms, evenihcugh The United Stateswere
IL limit themselves 10 Texas alone, with
those who think eur props ais should be
listened to. evrn II we propose tntreat OF
other territory besides Texas. 1t will be
reeollected that O:ero declared some time
since that negotiations should be limited
To- lhe single question Of Texas. Some
think this was c,nceding too much, and
athers toe little; the union ofihe two ex-
iremee defeated the proposition.
We have the reply Of the late President,
Pena j Pena, ITO Sa';a Anna's dema.-d up
no lin tojiurn over TO the latter Govern
n,ent. 1t is brief and digniGed. II reie-
sstes that his authority as President has
been acknowledged by every State and
by Congress as strictly constitutional, and
then announces to him Anaya's election.
Itaes.s with conte mpt Santa Anna's com
plants against The Government, and bids
him apply to Con grsss 10 hold the Secre-
saty ct War resi- onsible lur the act Of re-
moxing Sai.ta Anna from the command of
the army. The reply is made thro' Rosa,
the former Secretary OF State.
Aresolntion was submitted by Garcia
Vasgss that the Government should show
cause why Santa Anna wa. ordered 10 be
tried withouta previous order from Con-
eress. Thi. resolution was rejected BY a
rs4sAt ed6 II k II Presented propo i,ions 70
tlefollowing effect: That the Government
submit 70 Congress an answer in writing
tothe following questions. l. In what
state were tie negotiations with the Uni
ted States upon The termination OF Santa
Anna. Administration. 2. Has the pre-.
rent Administration C. ntirued them OF MT;
snd, 81. Has the Ministry received com
Innnieation frum the United States Envoy,
Mr.. Trist, ard What are the Contents. =
The question was taken separately, and
the frat proposition was as>enied to and
the rest Is itlidraWn. Tie first proposi.
ton was accompanied ty an order 10 sub
nit al the papers 10 Congress connected
With Santa Anna's negotiations. THIS
was rejected.
On The 9th, Sr. Pertligon in secret scs.
sion accused Mora V,lIanil, the Secre-
,sry Of War, Of high treason. Party !, To-
lenee and The regard OF Secretary for the
Utied States are assigned as the causes Of
this accusation. Il is limited that the Sec
rets.y was born at Pensacola.
The Indians have madean incursion in.
to the State Of San Luis Potosi and ap-
preached very near the capital.
The story of Santa Anna s cling at the
head Of $4,000 men, and threatenng an
over awning Congress, and the de spa oh Of
Gen. Worth 10 Queretaro to protect Con
gress--alI turns out 10 be mere mcon.hine.
Aeenlleman thoroughly conversan, with
Mexican affairs, assures Us that in place
of being in command Of eighteen thousand
men, San d Anna has not eighteen hun.

The following letter contains political
news Of interest and importance, though
one sentene is confused auc: We fear some
thing is emitted. 1t appears altogether
probable that the Mexican Congress has
been Dissolved by tie Withdrawal Of the
Fwos, so that no quorum can be obtained.
So M!xIco, Nov. "a, lS47.
