It is stated, with certainty, in the New Orleans
papers, that the Mexican Congress has passed a
law authorizing the government TO raise, fifteen
millions OF dollars TO carry on the war with the
United States, giving mortgages on the property
of the clergy, or selling the same, if necessary TO
raise this sum. This looks like war to the
knife on the part of Mexico but on the contra
ry, it is stated in some of the papers, that evidence
exists to the effect that Mexico is disposed to make
peace, and that she will soon submit proposal to
the United States to send Minister to negotiate.
In relation to the rumored assassination of Santa
Anna, and the contemplated attack on Vera Cruz,
a correspondent of the n. Orleans Picayune says:


"There is report at Vera Cruz, that the oppo-
rsition of Santa Anna the recent decree OF Con-
gress, for the sale of church property has proqok-
ed the vengeance of his soldiers, and that he has
been shot. have heard none of the circumstances
attending this outbreak which of course requires
confirmation to be implicitly relied on. There are
manv circumstances, however, which render ii
quite likely that such has been the fate of Santa
Anna.psc. #ts.'-.=.. -- .-- -


SIT is now generally believed in Vera Cruz that
an attack will soon be made upon that place. but
no reinforcements have been recently introduced.
There are about 1000 men in the castle, and 1900
regular soldiers in the town, besides the militia or
national guard, who may be set down at 1000 more.
see by an official statement that there now in
the whole state of Vera Cruz 5000 regulars The
national guard in progress of anizaton will
amount 10 1000 men of all arms. These last,
however, are yet to be provided with arms, and
now scattered over so large space :hat, even if
they were properly organized, they could not be
collected in Vera Cruz in many weeks. The cas-
tie has supply of only few days. provisions, and

are often in actual want, as the communication
with the shore is then intercepted"
