Mexican Tarif--vera Cruz Correspondence &c.
By the brig Mary Ann Jones, Capt A. Collins,
which arrived at this port yesterday from Vera
Cruz, whence she sailed on the 7th, we have
ceived our full files of Mexican papers
ELECTION OF PREsIDENT.-The Monitor of the
1st thus announces the election of President.
"Latest-The Chamber of Deputies has declared
ST.. General D. Jose Joaquin de Herrera Constitu-
tional President of the Republic
The notifications of the Treaty of Peace have
been exchanged with all due formaity.
The Queretaro Progreso, the greatest war paper
of Mexico, utters some very lugubrious lamenta-
tons over the consummation of peace. In the
number of the 9th May we find an article entitled
the Funeral of the Republic, which we translate:
"The zen flies from our hands, while we comply
with the sad duty of announcing to readers that
the day before Yesterday the rum OF the Repubnc
was consummated our Senate giving the finishing
touch to the work of ST. Pena Pena and his MIN
lister Rosa More than half of the Mexican Repub-
lic that is to say, eighty-two thousand square
leagues of rich and fertile lands, comprising part
of our beautiful Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Sonora,
chihuahua New Mexico, and the CALIFORNIA;, have
been sold for a small amount of money to the gov
eminent at Washington, the impacable enemy OF
orr friends, Our compatriots have been transfer
red like beasts of burden to the dominion of new
master This is the most bitter joke, the greatest
sarcasm on republican institutions. The Gods
abandon us exclaimed the Roman orator under SIM
liar circumstances
"To give the finishing touch to the picture of our
degradation, Yesterday, in the midst of strong
escort of Rif1emen, the American Commissioners
entered this city to recelue the final deed Of sale OF
country This infamous document will be before
long, for good Mexicans, the bloody cloak which
Mare Antony presented to the Roman people.
1t is said, also, that Sr. Rosas wished to place
In the residence of the Commissioners the vllltied
arms of the Republic. We leave to the considera-
ton of our readers to reflect upon the sad bargain
which the poor bird of the AZtecs, stationed silent
and languid, on his nopal will see entered into
For Sr. Rosas alone it is reserved to render the
national emblem an object OF scorn and contempt
to the invader. God grant that this Eagle, now so
depressed, may not day do with the authors of
its misfortunes as he now does with the serpent
which writhes in his beak."
QUERETARo.-Now that the Treaty has beer
approved by all the branches of the Mexican Gov
eminent, but little interest attaches to the proceed
ngs at Queretaro The Monitors correspondent
furnishes long letter. but do not find in it much
that is interesting to Americans. The American
Commissioners were received and entertained with
much hospitality. Mr.. Sewer, however, being ill
Mr.. Clifford took charge of the negotiations. The
writer does not like the present position of Santa
Anna believing that he is in secret correspondence
with his friends in the republic.-iStar, 3Oh.
On the Both ult the last number of the Ameri-
can Star was issued. Mr. Peoples thus expresses
his farewell:
With this number ends the American Star.
Peace is made and ratified, and with its coming
ends our mission here. The deed is done. The
Star, which has risen In every city occupied by
our arms on this line, has set for the last time in
the capital of those, who, but few days since,
ranked on our list enemies. May there never be
another cause for rupture between us. The Star
has advocated an honorable peace-it has been
brought about-we are satisfied-our country is
satisfed-Mexico is satisfed-may peace rest con-
tinually with all.
There remains naught more, but to say farewell
to the gallant soldiers with whom we have so long
communed, and whom we have seen bear aloft
their country banner in so many victorious ghts.
1t is short word, but on the present occasion,
hard to syllable. If, when you return to your homes
and receiving that reward from friends and
countrymen to which your glorious career here en-
title you, you will but cast thought on him who
followed you from battle to battle and raised his
Star to chronicle your deeds of glory, it will be
consolation enough to us. May you all prosper
FAREWELL JOHN III. PEOPLES.
From the same paperwe take the following items :
OFF THIS MoRNING.-Gen. Patterson with his
Division, will leave this morning for Vera Cruz

The, Epoca of San Luis Potosi, in speaking of
the pronuaciamento of Paroles, in Aguascalientes,
says: General Santa Anna, for example, has
pronounced for the federal system, and against the
federal system; he has pronounced against the
nomination of President, and afterwards endeavor-
ed to make the same man President whom he had
