SIGNIFICANT Nsws FROM MExico.-San-
ia Anna is determined to submit the pro
blem OF Mexican nationality to an abrupt
tolution. Animated by hostility to the
United States, he has revoked the amnes-
ty towards those Mexican citizens who
rendered any service to the American ar
my. or submitted to the forces before
which he himself was compelled to fly.
The organization of the army and OF
the national guard. together with the ad-
vance of Governor Trias upon the Mesil-
la Valley. are very significant. especially
IN view of the reported disclaimer of our
Minister. and in disregard of that clause
Of the treaty which provides that formal
efforts at Cancellation shall preeede HOSTILE
ties.
Santa Anna is adopting severe mea-
sures against all persons holding what he
considers perniclous opinions. He has
ordered the arrest of all who served as
guerillas to the American army. during
the late war. and directed them to be
tried by a court martial. A list of Mex
lean officers who surrendered as prisoners
of war TO General Scott when lac took the
capitol was taken. has been published,
and decree issued degrading them in
rank. and dismissing all such from civil
employment.
TIE army is being organized and in

His first official measure was an attack on
the liberty of the press. BY an srbitra-
ry decree he interdicts the discus
sion of political affairs. subjects the press
to the censorship of government, and en-
acts the severest penalties against the vi
"lation of these restrictions. This IS a Ia
4h!EoLeon. 1t is very evident that Santa
Anna intends to overthrow the free insti-
buttons of Mexico, and to rear on the ru-

REvoIr AMONG THE NATIONAL GUARDS
OF MExIco.--The steamship Texas
brought the following highly important
news to New Orleans on The 95 h OF MAY.
On the morning of the arrival of the
steamship Texas. at Vera Cruz. on the
18th May. revolution broke out in the
city amongst the National Guards. caus
ed by an order from the city of Mexico
to Incorporate the National Guards into
troops OF the line. The revolution lasted
three days, during which time most Of
the business of the city was suspended
The regular troops had possession of the
Forts Conception and Santiago. and the
National Guards had possession of the
streets and gates of the city. A brisk
firing was kept up during the three days,
and was only ended by the entrance of
regular troops from the city of JaIapa,
who took prisoners about fifty of the Ma
tionals. after which. friday all became
quiet and business was resumed. About
fifty of the Nationals were killed. and
many wounded during Encouragement.

fact which only renders annexation to
this Government the more probable.
There are but few spots of Earth more

years they have decreased nearly seven
