The New Orleans papers bring u account
Of the entry Of Santa Annainto The city Of Mex
leo. the goth olt.. and his immediate installa'
ton in Office. The events were accompanied
by the usual amount of giorifcstion and funk
eyism. We learn from the Picayune that an
immense concourse filled the streets & squares.
A triumphal arch had been erected across tho
street of San,o Domingo. the houses were de-
corated with flags and draparies, and the BAL
comics were filed with ladies along The whole
line Of the procession. Military sslutes were
fred. and bands OF music played national and
martial airs at several points. When the cortege
came in sight of the crowd, The populace. not
withdrawing the resistance of the escort. took
the horses from the carriage Of The General
and dragged it by hand to the palace. The
principal officers of The government sccompa-
MED Santa Anna from the village of Guada'
lupe.
The cortege proceeded first to the palace
and thence TO the Chamber of Deputies, W here
the supreme court of justice, the authorities,
fhe corporation and military and clergy had
assembled for the occasion. There the follow
ing oath was administered TO the Presdent by
the President of the Court
I, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna swear to
God that will defend the independence and
integrity of the Mexican territory, and pro.
mote the welfare and prosperity of the nation,
in conformity with the basis adopted by the
plan of Jalisco. and tho agreement made on
G,b Ill o.fu hu
united forces.
When Santa Anna had taken his oath, Gen
Lombardni rose and announced that the Pres
ident had taken possession of the Government
An inaugural address was then read.
The cortege then proceed to the cathedral,
where the re Deum was sung, and the Pres
ident returned to the palace. There he re-
ceived the diplomatic corps, and was address
cd by The Minister of Guatemala. to whom he
replied, reiterating The sentiments ofhis address.
Several addresses have been presented to
the President asking for the adjustment of the
federal sytem, which they state is the cause Of
he Reorganization of the country.
The title Of captain general had again been
pressed upon Santa Anna by the governor OF
he federal district of Mexico.
In publishing intelligence respecting the
measures adopted by Santa Anna on his Access
sion to power, the Washington Republic re,
marks:
From all the recent information relating 10
Mexico we may, with some confidence, CON
,lude, firstly. that Santa Anna, in making
desperate effort to organize permanent gov
of which he is to be the essential ele
ment, is willing that that country should re-
turn 10 the protection of Spain secondly, that
he is jealous of The United States, and deeply
embittered against them thirdly, that the
government of Spain approves his views. and
is willing TO enter into his plan; and, fourhly,
that the notion of annexation to the United
States occupies the minds Of at least portion
oil the Mexican people.
The future of Mexico is now the problem.
That is annexation tothis Republic would nee
essarily be of fatal tendency to us we are not
prepared 10 assert; but that it is an event des-
irable for our own sakes isfar from our thoughts
And yet, in it's self sustaining power. as we
have elsewhere said we have not the shadow
OF hope; nor do we believe Ia the practica
bity of it's returning to Spain, nor in the pos
sibility of SPANS retaining 1t in peaceful sub
lection, were it to do so,
