SANTA ANNA's FAREWELL ADDRESs.-Santl
Anna when on the point of embarking from
Mexico, published long farewell address Il
his countrymen. We give the opening and
the closing paragraphs:
dntonio Lopez dc Santa AanG, General o.
Division, and lrell deserving OF his Country
TO his tcLLOW citizens:
MExICANs! On the point of leaving my be.
loved native country, in order 10 seek in for
eign land the quiet of private life, ! must adj
dress you for the last time, TO explain TO you
the true causes which have constrained me to
condemn myself TO a voluntary ostracism. In
debted 10 the Republic for thousand sponta-
neous acts of honor, which have inscribed my
name for ever in her annals, am bound TO give
her satisfaction at the time OF parting from her,
in the most disastrous moments in which ever
nation was seen, and when foreign hands are
tearing the ensigns of our sovereiSnty from the
immense territory which cowardice, egotism,
and perfidy have placed in their power.
Those who can look into futurity know that
those fears which have haunted my mind will
be realized, for when the limits of the neighbcr-
ing Republics are once extended TO the heart
of our dominion, we lose forever the equili-
brium; and through an error in political calcu-
lation the war has been terminated, and with
it all hopes for our children. The MN of re-
Election sees with dread that this unfortunate
people is prescribed from the catalogue of ma
lions, and that the generation which saw the
struggle of its independence will assist at its
funeral. have therefore desired and sustain
ed the wal as the only means of eristence.-
More has already been granted than the enemy
demanded, and our children can from this
moment say that they have no future and no
country.
The lovers of humanity and of justice have
raised their voice. even III the American CAPT
toll, TO warn us of the immense danger we run.
Fatality and the rancor of party, egotism, and
,reachery have prevented our listening 10 those
echoes of truth, and an extemporaneous treaty
has deprived US of the advantages which we
could derive by suffering little longer the
evils of the war, and by showing more firm
ness 10 meet emergencies.
The state at which matters have arrived rem
lers my person no longer of any use TO my
country. A peace to be forever execrated has
been granted, and two-thirds of the national
territory has been sold for dish of Ientils. A
shameful and absurd armisice has been sanc-
toned to consummate the iniquity. What
course, therefore, remains, citizens, for him
who only returned 10 his country TO satisfy the
public wishes and to fightin support of the no.
bic cause against the foreign enemy? What is
he to dowho is pursued in every direction?-
Retire to distant land to bewail immense
mislortunes of the Republic, since political
passions and paltry interests have succeeded in
exalting themselves over the holy cause of the
country.

Yucatan Proc ession,

Among the novelties of Saturday night we no.
ticed procession of volunteers, who, we were
told, had pledged themselves TO obey the mandates
issued forth by the imaginary Adiutant-G General of
of Maj. Gen. George Washington Dixon, the Com
mander-in- Chief of the martial division that is
march for the reduction of the warlike Indians who
are now spreading terror in that beautiful but help
less country Yucatan. A little after O'Clock band
of music, composed of two men and one small boy,
assembled in front of the St Charles Hotel, and
footed . in martial strain to their hearts CON
tent the spirit-stirring martial tunes of our country
All the efforts of the band cheered to the tops
of the three-sory houses and the echoes then came
down as flat as so many pancakes. Presently a
shrill voice called out" Three cheers for Gen.
Taylor - Hip! hip, hurrah vociferated the
multitude. Three cheers for Gen. Butler .
High-yie! high-yie!" cried every one. 90 Three
cheers for the wives and sweethears Of the returned
volunteers" This was responded to by shout,
the reverberations of which spread themselves from
the st. Louis Hotel to the boundary-line between
New Orleans and Lafayette. Three cheers for
our country and her soldiers" !" High-yie y
three times three. Three cheers for the Star
spanged Banner" The procession then adjourned
to the other side Of the street, when a gentleman
clothed in serni-military uniform appeared in a
window in the second story. The gentleman in
question looked like very badly executed picture,
in still worse frame. He announced, however,
to the tumultuous multitude that Gen. Dixon would
address the vast concourse there assembled With
the spring of hungry leopard upon fresh beef
steak the General placed his martial boot upon the
window-silI and commenced harranguing the
assemblage. In strain of glowing eloquence, and
white hat in his hand, he told them that Yucatan
was destined to be Free and that those who joined
his banner would be the first to reap the reward of
their labor. He had been sadly ignobly prosecuted,
but still he was bent upon accomplishing the
objects for which, two years ago. he came to New
Orleans. He only wanted a brave band to go
ahead. and he would follow them to accomplish the
glorious scheme that he had in view The lovely
land of Yucatan once in the hands of Americans
there was but little improbability but that Cuba
would next be caught in the net Of liberty; and
Who knows " exclaimed the orator, " but thai
from Cuba we may go Bermuda and relieve the
Irish Patriot John Mitchell, of his chains " These
remarks drew down torrents Of applause aftei
which a gentleman dressedi in light blue military
suit, such as is worn by private Of the infantry
addressed the meeting in words that were so sweet
fast and 50 appropriate to the subject that eacf
Of the vast audience went into the different bar

ne plaintiffs counsel in all things except ms con.
eI,lsion. The question Is purely one Of right, ana
we feel satisfied that the most rigid constrcpenlsl
after mature reflection, arrive at no other con-
clusion than, that the right of the Government %
speedily convey the army Of Mexico to the most con-
venient points of the United States for payment
and discharge is as fully contained IN contract OF
enlistment as the obligation to pay the soldier up

the same) to abandon the control Of Government al
his pleasure, on the signing Of treaty Of peace by
the Government Commissioners, the whole army
might have disbanded in the cities and fortresses OF
Mexico Power of this description is unlimited,
and if ii exist at ALL it may be exercised to the vast
est limit of human ingenuity Again, it cannot
with any shadow of reason be commended, if the
mere signing of the treaty eonfers on the soldier
the right to consider his contract at end, that the
same signing would not confer the same right on
the Government, to wit: to annul its contract with
the soldier, and to abandon him in the very centre
of the late enemy's country.
And what frightfui conclusion such state of
things would give TO the most brilliant war, COM
paratively, ever waged in modern times But we
are saved from such humiliating finale. Our
stout-hearted soldiers have returned from an enc
my's home, where, to engage in battle, was to add
fresh wreath of laurel to our thrice glorious flag
For bravery, discipline and that which is more
than either-manhood- have elevated them
selves to the highest pinnacle of nations admira
ton and it remains for them but to finish the clos
ing scene of the great drama in which they have
so conspcuously appeared-with the constancy
and moderation that has hitherto added lustre to
their brilliant passages at arms, to complete their
triumph in the hearts Of their countrymen.

b
The citizens Of our city, with commendable
spirit Of lberaity, have testified their appreciation
Of the services of a part Of the Louisiana Volun-
teers by giving them upon their return public re-
ception. And truly the Infantry have deserved
well of their fellowctzens yet, while rendering
justice to them, we should not overlook the equal
claims Of others to our gratitude The Mounted
Men have equally upheld the honor Of our State
they have performed services equally arduous, and
their meritis in all respects as great Should we
then neglect them, and perform but half our duty
by making inyidious distinctions We are proud
of all our volunteers, and we think it no more than
right that some public testimonial of appreciation
should now be given to The Mounted Men. We
hope that our city viii not pass this matter over in

suggestion, and take prompt measures to carry it
