Tha Star, of the 12th, atatei tbat Santa Anna
had asked for a paasport, professing to be dell rout
of leaving the Republic, and had recommended
hit friends to yield quietly in favor of peace.
On the other band, a letter it published, which

the impriaonment of Santa Anna, in order to re
move tha only obatacle to the conclution of

and the general belief was that peace would loon

There were only twenty five members of the
new Congress at Queretaro on the 21st. ft
seems impossible to get a quorum of members
there, some stating that they were tick, and
others declaring their inability to defray the
cxpensea of their journey. There was a pre
limiuary meeting held on that day, at which
one of tlitf mnmbers present moved that the sub
lie put if be called in till the regulars should ar
rive, and another that the custom bouses should
furnish them funds for their expen-sea. In Vera
Cruz there had been no election, and the one
which had been held in Oajaco waa declared
null and a new one ordered.
The clergy of Guanajuato have published an
infiimnwtory appeal to the people, calling upon
them to arrest the progress of the invaders and
avenge the insults offered to their country.
They attribute all the evila they have hitherto
auflered lo the tupineneas and cowardice of the
people themselves; but exhort them to buckle
on their armor, and aeo if Providence won't aa
siat them this time. Now, Ibis it all very fine
and patriotic, but when wc consider that tbe in
suits and suffering they apeak of have never
been felt by them, and that they are not called
upon to take pirt in the conflict, we may detect
little selfUhnese in the exhortation.
Gen. Cadwalader addressed t letter to the
Governor of the State of Mexico, asking for tbe
State's portion of the revenue assessed upon it
by the American authorities. The Governor
replied that be would never lend bia co opera

have expressed a wish to the Governor that some
action might be bsd upon the subject.

There is some prospect of a quorum being ob
tained at Queretaro by the flth Inat. On the
24th ult. there were thirty-four Deputise and
twelve Senators there, and some fifteen more
left here yeatcrdey. The President had sent
out circulars to the members, begging them to
come on, and the goneraf impression is that the
preliminaries of a treaty of peace will be the
first thills' presented lo them for consideration.
The Governor and Vice Governor of San Lu

Specisl Correspondence of the Picayune.
Vxa Cruz, Feb. 13. 1R49.
Since writing ymi yesterday I have had an
opportunity to look into a few city of Mexico
papers from the 1st to the 0th intt , and although
I cannot gather much of importance, I can pnr
haps relect a few items of interest.
The Sisr makes the following extracts from
other papers from the different parts of Mexico,
Fiom La Dandera del Pueblo.
Aot'AM.'ALifcNTKN. The Government of Pens
y Pens in order to show the people the ntcestd
ty of making peace, has made an arrangement
with Scott that the American tniopa hall occu
py all the principal capitals with the exception
of Queretaro,
The Modrnte party have limited themselves

The same paper nya this State (Aguascali
entes) haa pronounced against tt.e Government
of Queretaro according to the plan issued by the
National Guard, which we have before us in
which Ihey declare Ihey will suetsin asirf reso
lutions with arms in their hands. Chiapas has
done likewise.
La Bandera concludes. -"Tbe Ireseon of the
Government at Qui retaru is every where per
ceptible, and public opinion begins to express
itself. The towns will soon rise in mi against
the odious invader, and the Republic, from the
etruggle, will rise triumphant, if not regenera

Padre Jarauta has been hovering about Pa

Santa Anna. Both lha Stale and capital of
Oajaca, whither Santa Anna sought an asylum
when so holly pureued by Gen. Ijob, have re
fused to extend any aid to the fugitive ex Presi

hia ambition for command, ssys the writer, hive
destroyed the confidence of the people in him,

which bad there fallen, likea thunderbolt from

and of Lafayette, on either hand of the chair,
were covered over with thin crap, casting a
melancholy dimneaa over the features, without
entirely concealing them, the frames being co
vered with a deeper black. Th effect of this,
