New YORK, June l4.-Santa Anna has
issued stirring address to his countrymen
from Elizabethtown, New Jersey. The
general defines his position in reference to
the present aspect Of Mexican politics, and
the reports of his trucking to Macmillan.
He did not in any manner compromise
himself with the Empire. He belonged
entirely to the Mexican Republic. He ex-
poets all Mcxicans to unite and drive the
usurpers from their soil, and offers his own
services to the cause. A monarchy in
Mexico he declares to be an impossibility.
The restoration of the Republic is the
height of his ambition. No other purpose,
he says, could draw him from retirement,
and this accomplished, he will return to
private life. In conclusion, he says he
will not close his life with falsehood, but
seek for his tomb new laurel tree, whose
shadow shall cover 1t in the midst of peace.

COLLECTION OF TAXES IN GEoRGIA.-A
message from the President was to-day laid
before Congress, transmitting the rcsolu-
tons of the Legislature of Georgia, asking
for suspension of the collections of inter
nal revenue under the act of Congress OF
August 9th, 1861, which provided for the
raising, by direct assessment upon the
State of Georgia, of five hundred and
eighty-four thousand three hundred and
sixty-sevcn dollars. The preamble asserts
that no opportunity has been afforded that
State to assume the collection and payment
OF the money.
That the Secretary of the Treasury de-
clines, without express legislation of Con-
grcss, to permit this assumption, until the
question Shall be submitted to Congress,
which is respectfully requested TO consider
the Joint claims of the people of Georgia,
who, on account of their present exhausted
condition, should be relieved from the pay
ment of Federal tax, by direct tax upon
the people at this time, and that the State
should be permitted to assume its collec-
ton and payment.
