We find in the New Orleans Picayune of Angus


18th the following additional items of intelligenc
from Mexico, by the royal mail steamer recently ar


rived at Havana:


From the New Orleans Picayune, August Is.
The Dee brought the long-expected news of pro
| nuneidmento by Vera Cruz in behalf of Santa Ana
The city and the garrison of the castle have bot
| declared for the exPresdent. Immediately upol
| the reception of the news at Havana, Santa Am
| made his preparations for departure and was to sal
the evening Of the 9Th inst. for Vera Cruz in tn


steamer Montezuma, under English colors. S,
says Captain Delvae-the papers Of Havana no
| having word on the subject.


We have account as to the individuals whit


were to accompany Santa Ana. The Montezums


had been for some days preparing for sea, but, al
was alleged, with the intention of proceeding h
England. In this connexion it may not be amis
| to recall statement published by us on the 3ls


ut, to the effect that the Monezuma as well as tn,
Guadalupe belonged to Santa Ana, having beer


purchased by him through an English house. Sucl


was the firm belief of our informaDt.l


Early in July Se6or Becerra, the Minister of Jus


ce resigned his post; and after General Bravo was
installed IN power the other ministers likewise re-
signed. Letters from the city of Mexico dated the
29th July, give the following the most probabl,
composition OF the new ministry: d. Antonio Ga.
ray, Minister of Finance; ID. Ignacio Mora Villa
mil, of War; DR.. d. Luis Gordoa, or d. Luis G
Cuevas, OF Foreign Relations; and D. Fernando
Ramirez, OF Justice, &c. A letter of the Both July
from the city of Mexico, speaks Of the new minis.
try as being already formed, but without giving the
Names IL adds, moreover, that the new ministers
were, without exception, disposed to make peace
with the United States.


There had been pronuncinmento in Jalapa ms
well as Guadalajara and neither of them had been
put down; but General Bravo did not appear to be
much concerned in regard to either Of them. How
the movement at Vera Cruz may affect him, it is
too soon to learn.


The Secretary Of War announced to Congress on
the 23d July that all the troops of chihuahua and
Zacatecas had marched to the aid Of General Armi-
10; so that General Kearney may yet find an enemy
to dispute the conquest of Santa Fe or New Mex
ico.


In paper of the city of Mexico of july eatb !,
is announced that the detachment Of engineers ,phich
ioiu accompany the provisional President will march
under the orders Of Colonel Cano, and General ID.
lsdro Reyes, of the Typographical engineers as we
should call them, would accompany him A later
paper states that Paredes would not move to the
north until the city of GuadaIajara should be re.
duced TO submission.


The bills before Congress, which we published
some weeks slnce-one conierring on the govern.
ment the control over the revenues for the pnrnoses
of the war, and the other declaring the existence nj
war and that Mexico will repe t-were passed bv
Congress in nearly the same form in which they
were OFlglHuHy TepOTteu. congress had passed an
other law TO which great importance was attached
comforting upon General Paredes the unlimited pow
er to appoint officers and procure the necessary ma
teras for the war, giving the preference to those NJ
Mexico. We have not seen the law ITSELF but have
a secondhand notice Of it, which is not very def
mite.


Paredea had determined to release all prisoners
confined for political offences


The news received in the city of Mexico from the
frontier was such as to drive the the government n,
most to despair. On the 9th July courier arrived
announcing the departure Of eight thousand Amer,
can troops from Camargo for Monterey. General
Armijo, about the same time, sent word thai 81
thousand Americans had come down upon New
Mexico. And to crown the whole, despatch was
received from the British minister AT Wasbinoton
which quenched every hope of receiving aid from
England


General Mejia, who had taken the command NJ
The army which followed Arsta to Linares. had ss
lablished his headquarters at Monterey. General
Paredes was to direct his march thtber, for which
purpose he was to leave the city Of Mexico on the
