IMPoRTANT EROM MExIco.-B Baltimore, May
3.-Santa Anna arrived in the City Of Mexico on
the I7th, and was received with Nominations, firing
Of and great rejoicing. His reception all along
the route was most Enthusiastic.
In his address TO the Mexcans Santa Anna saws
that Gov Lane has taken up ground that the north
ern boundary of Chihuahua was formerly further
north than present; that the treaty of Guadalupe
Hida go had removed it much further south, and
that, II the territory claimed was disputed ter
riory, it has has always been in undspued posses
sion Of Mexico that the argument that the respec-
tive governments not bound hy The proceedings Of
the boundary commission, is iaIacuus lie con-
cudes by asking Lane If he has the power lie de-
clare war.
The Mexican papers state that Judge Conkng
gave assurances that the U. s. government wouli
diSclam Lanes acts.
The SigIo states that fifteen States and three ter
ritoles are in favor of federal system, anl uuy
states appear disposed to adopt any other form
Of government.

RELIGIOUS ExCITEMENTIN CINcINNALL-Re-
ligious troubles appear to be rife in Cincinnati,
Lately they had a most exciting contest for
school Directors, in wich the Catholic candidates
were all defeated. A few days ago We mentioned
that the Mayor of the city had forbidden protes-
tant street preacher from holding forth on the
Sabbath on the plea that his sermon against the
Catholics had the tendency of melting to riot
1t appears by the Cincinnati Atlas of Monday,
the 25th inst, that on the very Sunday on which
he was forbidden to speak, the preacher in questi"
on did, as usual, mount upon the head Of barrel
in the midst of the market space, and speak
ing to a crowd of about a hundred orderly and
espectabepersons, when the Mayor, attended by
the regular police and large body of special Off
GERS, appeared upon the ground and selling him,
obliged him to desist. This was in the morning.
In the afternoon of the same day. under the drec-
ton and auspices of Archbishop Purcell, great
Catholic procession numbering from five to ten
thousand men, with badges, flags, banners, and
number of bands OF music, marched through the
streets to lay the corner stone of Catholic Church
The Catholic church bells were rung during the
whole time, the brass bands, compromising near
ly all in the city, were playing and the procession
marched through half the town, blocking up the
streets, making very Ostentations parade, which
created great deal Of excitement sufficient to
render some of the streets impossible to church
gong people, and to disturb the stiffness of the
Sabbath. The Mayor had out large police force
to protect the procession. These circumstances
will explain the telegraphic statement we publish
ed, relative to public call upon the Mayor to re-
sign. That officer appears to have been deter
mined at all hazards to prevent riot on the oc-
casion of this professions; but, in doing so, has
thoroughly aroused the Protestant population
and added fuel to a religious excitement which
was already very deep and bitter. The Mayor re-
fused to resign, and an indignation meeting was
advertised to be held
