An official recall of SANTA ANNA has been issued
by Gen. URAGA. In the letter to this effect from
Gen. Uraga to Santa Anna, the former says that
party spirit and personal jealousy have tainted with
their poison both men and things in Mexico, and
that his excellency SANTA ANNA has been the vic
tim Of the fury of passions; that men, actuated by
spirit of greedy speculation, have trafcked in his
name; have first dshonored, then abandoned him
in misfortune and have afterwards sought to restore
him to power by means Of force. He then informs
Santa Anna that now the nation invites him to re-
turn to his country and home as soon as he may
find it convenient, and expresses the hope that he
may come and prove bond of union between the
citizens Of Mexico; that he may his country as
he has done, and exert the prestige conferred
upon him by his wellknown services to his country

Among the on dts of the past week was one that
President FILLMORE had RENTED the sentence Of
suspension passed by Naval Court-martial about
two years ago on Commodore THOMAS AP G. JONES,
of the Navy. To that sentence Commodore Jones
took exceptions-frst, upon the ground of INSULT
cheney of testimony to establish the charges pre-
ferred against him. or of any violation of law, his
own or his countrys honor; and, secondly, to GER
tain specified illegal proceedings by the court; and
upon these points he appealed to the President Of
the United States, and claimed new trial, or an
utter abrogation of the courts finding and SEN
tence. The PRESIDENT, doubling his appellate
power the case, except for the exercise of the
pardoning prerogative, which Commodore Jones and
his friends firmly declined the legal points except
ed to and the general issue have remained ever
since sub judici. On the 22d Of February ultimo
the President, upon the earnest recommendation of
the Hon. j. 2. KENNEDY, Secretary of the Navy,
RENTED the unexpired portion of the sentence,
which remission soon followed by an order from
Mr.. KENNEDY appointing Commodore JONES to the
command of the San Francisco Navy Yard and
Station, just authorized by an act making ample
appropriation for its commencement As this order
sends Commodore Jones back to California, from
whence he was recalled for trial. it may be consi-
dered as a mark of unimpaired Executive conf
dence in that veteran commander.

honor upon President FILLMORE and the members
Of his Administration. 1t has, we presume rarely
happened that so great degree Of harmony has
existed between President and every member of
his Cabinet. 1t may be supposed by some that the

to this remark We have, however, the best rea-
