Possibly Santa Anna’s partizans have ere this dissolved

convey more than 2,000 troops. Santa Anna had retired
to his hasienda near Vera Cruz, and had concluded not
to take command of the army operating against Yucatan.
It is stated that be has retired on account of ill health;,
but the Federalists assett that he has retired to avoid sign- ;
ing a republican form of government. Gen. Bravo has !
taken upon himself the responsibilities of the Executive
office. The amendment proposed to the Constitution by
Santa Anna’s party, was rejected in Congress in the ses-
sion of October 15th, and by a slip from the office of the ’

Alluding to the restrictive policy first adopted by Eng-

“Where this new mode of making war and inflicting
mutual injury by legislation is to end we cannot foresee;
but we can inform the people of both hemispheres that they
must strangle the restrictive system, or it will soon stran-

The dictatorsbip may be said to have been the first of
our misfortunes The Dictator, acting in contradiction to
the spirit of the revolution, did not take advantage, of that
enthusiasm with which the revolution commenced and by
which prodigies might have been achieved. But not on-
ly did he neglect to make use of4 that enthusiasm, ot to
foster it, he even took measures which had a tendency to
repress it. The first fault with which he was reproached
by the Patriotic Club, was his having given permission
to the Grand Duke to leave the kingdom with his corps,
taking with them their arms and accoutrements, which
were equally Polish property The retaining of the
Grand Duke would have been of the greatest importance
* to us. No historian could have blamed such an act; for
if the justice of our revolution be once acknowledged, ev-
ery energetic and decisive act which would favor its hap-
py result mutt also be justified in the view of history —
Tim Russians indeed have regarded our conduct on this
point as an indication of weakness and timidity rather than
as an act of delicacy and magnanimity, in which light
Chlopicki intended that it should be considered. The
same corps, attached to the Grand Duke, and consisting,
as we have said, of 7,000 men and 24 cannon, with the
Grand Duke himself, did not regard itia this light, for

bills. He considers probably that if the law is violated
by this means, the fault rests with the Secretary of the
Treasury, under whose order he acts. It is said that a
quantity of these drafts have been sent to New Orleans
and exposed in market there.. We understand that they
have been sold in that city at from forty to fifty cents on
the dollar. At Galveston they are rated at sixty cents on
the dollar. Exchequer bills have lately been sold in
New Orleans at twenty-six cents on the dollar, and at
Galveston they are valued at fifty cents, but as a quantity

from Yucatan is far more favorable to the cause of the
patriots than we expected. The New Orleans Picayune
mentions that on the 21st ult, 1,200 Federal troops were
to march from Campeachy for Champoton, six leagues
from Campeachy, where 1,200 Centralists were encamp-
ed and fortifying themselves. The Federalists are com-
manded by Col. Largo, the Centralists by Gen. Morales.
“Daily deserters from the Central camp were arriving-
in Campeachy, who report their troops in great distress
for want of provisions, and worn out by diseases of every
kind. "
"Gen. Heemos, commander in chief, was on the march
from Merida with 500 men to join Col. Largo, and an-
other division of 1,200 men from the eastern part of the
state were shortly expected. They are said to be excel-
lent marksmen.
