AFFAIRS In MEXICO.


Proclamation to the Army
The files of the Universal and ario oheal, from which
we extracted the items of Mexican published yes
terday's HERALD contain nothing but the simple pro-
gramme of the national fete- celebrated the 10th,
9th and 2sth of September The Trait dUnion, how
ever which we received yesterday supplies the French
translation of proclamation issued to the army by Gen.
Santa Anna which We consider sufficiently important to
retranslate.
The Trait d'Union says On the 18th the city celebra-
te the anniversary of the 18th September lssthat is
of the victory gained by Gen. Santa Anna the Span
sh invasion at Tamrco-salvos of artillery were dis
charged at 4. NJ, at noon and at p NJ. The church
bells also rung at the hours. At A. NJ all
the troops of the garrison paraded La Pedad where
they reviewed by President Santa Anna accompa-
MED by his ministers and a brilliant staff
field had been pitched in the centre of Ia Pedad
NJ Juan Suarez Navarro chief officer of the ministry of
war pronounced there discourse which was much ap
plauded.
The President afterwards received each of the
who had taken part in the battle of Tampico and
scented them with gift according to their rank. The
President at the moment of the review addressed the
troops as follows -
SANTA Annals SPEECH TO MS Army.
Comrades in arms AT the moment which ends the
twenty fourth year since the triumph that contaminated
the independence OF our dear country heart is moved
at the recollection of the epoch when glorious
covered in all its integrity the territory inherited from
fathers. Then the soldiers with the courage and intrep
dty of heroes acquired aurels which time DESTROY
and honorable titles to the gratitude of their fellow c
They cooperated with unanimity, and without
sparng their sacrifices tolls in the consolidation
Of the work which has illustrated the memory of
the Hidalgos and of the Iturbides. The common en-
thusasm, the perfect development of the public
mind, the unity Of views, and the conformity of
the most generous sentiments, which strengthen a
people, pesaged that the Mexican nation free by its own
efforts should always energetcally maintain rank and
its rights before the civilized world. 1.-The witness of

mount all the risks and the peri Of the field of battle

But to-day, when misfortune has afflicted us-when vic
tory has shown herself averse in our ranks-when a
foreign enemy has proaned soil-when the radiant
sun of Tampco would appear ecipsedI retire with my
thoughts to deplore the continued civil dis
cords which have almost parayzed the cund elements of
strength and power Nevertheless glory your
selves, soldiers for having fought in hundred fights
and for having than forced the enemy to re-

that their wish has been lower the merit of the Mexi
