The Mexican government had taken in con-
sideration the tender of Gen. Santa Anna'5
services made 20 President Juarez, and con-
cluded not 10 accept them, assigning the
following reasons; Because Santa Anna
being one Of the originators and promoters
Of foreign Intervention to Mexico, his SIN
cause the american people have lost all con-
fdence in him, and cannot therefore place
any reliance in him, his presence in Mex
ico would only excite Gistrust and fears, and
would only be an element of discord and
weakness"
