NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
IMPORTANT FROM NEW MEXICO.

A Telegraph despatch from St. Louis commu-
nicates the following intelligence from Santa Fe,
the date from that place being the 25th May
a Convention Of Delegates has been called and
held, which formed and promulgated Consti-
tuition for the government of DE Sss of New
Mexico. The Convention assembled at Santa Fe
on the 18th May, and the session lasted eight or
nine days, in which time the Constitution was
formed, which will 60 into operation about
July. The boundaries of the State are defined
and slavery prohibited. In fifteen days from the
time the Constitution was adopted an election is
to take place for members of the Legislature.
Two Senators and Representative in Congress
will soon be elected, and efforts made to take
their seats Mr.. ST. VRAIN, Judge OTERo, and
HENRY Connolly are among the most prominent
candidates for Governor, and Capt. A. w. REY-
NoLDs and Major R. H. WEIGHTMAN for Senator'S.
II is supposed that HUGH N. SMITH, the present
Delegate in Congress, will be elected to the House
8 Of Representatives"
Another despatch says that the boundaries OF
the proposed State are left open for future ADJUST
ment, which is not improbable.
Late Texas papers furnish the subjoined copy OF
the Proclamation of Col. MUNRoE, under which the
aforementioned Convention assembled lbs

that the Supreme Court rather the Judiciary OF the UNI
