The most important information by iis arrival is the pronouncement of the city and garrison at Vera Cruz, on the 31st ult. in favor of Santa Anna, who, as soon as the nets reached him at Havana, einhark ed on board 'he steamer Montezumna (now under British colors), and sailed on the night of the Silt inst. fIr Vera Cruz A correspondent apprizes us ofthe event as follows: -VEntA Cituz.

St., thus city pronounced in favor of Santa Auna andi Federation. and by this couvyanlce two (;mm issioners are despatched to His Excellency, to .invite him to come oro nure and rule the destinies of Mexico. The most general belief is titat he will sat tie the pending diilicultfes between the U. Stites and this ceuttry. In .\ltxico, the Ministry had resigned in consequence of General Bravo having been -worn as President ad interim. Our letters from the capital, dated the 30th uit., say, that the netn Mlinisiers will, without exception. be disposed to make peace with the Americans. Nothing new from Commodore Connor's sqa.idrou, nor from the other Coast in re ladooi to the Calif rnias. Yours, &c.

The editor of El Indicadir, in which journal the foregoing important appears, informs us that the garrison of Sain Juan ,llrUlba imnmediately adheren to that adop red by the troops in Vera Cruz. lie states. in commenting on what had just taken place, that the declatatiun of the garrison carried it with an irresistible forre of ur ency, of reason, and of truth. The pub lic evils which it denounces have their ,rigin in the illegality of the measures of the government, and hence the necessity -of having recourse to the legitimate funda mental institutions of the country, and its public functionaries. The present laws of Mexico, fundamental and secondary, all the authorities. were the work of factions, and not of the free expression of the public will, and hence arose the fattal divisions of political parties, their eternal war, and al t.rn.ato triunphs, continually repeated, and the contsequenlt inertness, almost death, of public spirit. LeLt the country vindicate her acred rights; let her dictate the form of the institutiotns under which she desires to be governed; elevate to the supreme Mgistracy, and the principal posts,. those citiens mfost worthy, by their previous career. atnd there will then be no motive for rivalry. Union will revive, liberty in all her freshness will sway our destinies, attd peace wtll dispense her copious fruits, her abundant blessings on our unfortunate couttry, so long the victitm of intestine sirife. Free, uniteJI and happy at home, we shall be respected abroad; and shall cease to be the objectf-sinister designus, a bich have for their object to impose again on us thnse chains, which, without any fo reign aid, we broke in 1821. In line, the natiotn will nto more be insulted as is has been, in the odious decree of convokihtg the present Congress, which set out with a preliminary that advocated umonarchy For this will be substituted the salutary principle of the sovereignty of the people This undertaking is supremely grantd; atd to- secure its fruition, it requires leader endowed .with high qualities. Al concur to point jout Gee. Santa Anne al the mant. He has learned wisdom, hat discovered his. political errors in the schon of misfortune; lhe will now hold ideas more patriotict more salutiary, since the pur e patriots have become reconciled to him and gise himr their confidence. Let hitm then, return to his country, now in he hour of peril; the pat shall be a lesson tu him; lot him fulfil his destiny; let hitt hasten hither with the utmnst expedition Then, if God grats., all true-hearted Mex icatns being united, we may celebrate th return of public felicity. To complete our summary of Mexica news, we append the following detail which we extract from- the Diario de I Habatna,,and stie Diario de Ia -Marina,'< te 5th instant. 4. .nants a that durin5 the firt few das of the sitting of the Mexican Congre convoked by Paredeq, much discussiot took place regarding the different systems; on which the basis of the new order of things was to be founded. One party, in consideration of the exceptional situation in which the country was found to be pla ced, were desirous of confining themeelfe. to the nominating the Chief dlegist'rate and defuiidi his functions, and then apply. ing themselves to more practical things the exigencies of the nation-others were for re-establishing the organic basis of the 4onstiiution, and then await for a more opportune moment for forning the funda mental laws, for which the Congress was called together. In the midst of the io litical divisions which agitated them, it fiWas found difficult to engage them to take into consideration the real necessities of the country. The Assembly of Zacatecas presented a petition called for the electo ral law, the establishment of the organic basis, etc., etc. This petition was not te ecived with tuch grace. .t is, however, said that the ,Congress will te-eatah1ish in all their vigor the organic basis, returning precisely !o the state of things which ex isted during the administration of Herrera, yet without annuling the resolutions'adop ted, as a remedy in the critical circumstan ces in which the country at present stands. This step has for its object to unite, for the moment, the mnderato foderalists and cen tralists who are not inimical to the present administration, in order that all pretext may be destroyed for popular intirference, and to stifle any pronunciumentos which might possibly embarrass the action of the Government. The President has, in order to carry out these ideas, decreed a full amnesty to all,who may be under ban ishment for polical offences. Amongst the privileges bestowed on the President Parades, is that of nominating superior anfd other officers ; it will be exer cised in favor'of'those from Mexico, (de part nent and city.) Gen. Arevalo, who commanded one of the brigades, ordered to put down the in surrection at Gaudalaxara.has been woun ded, and is since dead. This .news was communicated in a letier received from that place. fie died'in the c6nfeht of St. Maria de Gracia, where he had been ob liged to take refuge. So the report of his successes was premature. In one of the diligencies rannin'g be= tween Vera Cruz and Meied;ibhe'e Was a passenger named Don F'rancisco de Fan la Girico, the name of one of Ddn Car lo]s sons. It was supposed this individual' was really his royal highness, but turned out to be merely air accidental analogy in hee name, ie is a Colonel to the Mexican army. The following intelligence, 'embracing items dated fron'the city .bf Mexico. the 20th. and from Vera Cruz to the 3lst ult. will be pertsed with interest. The Congress and Government have issued several decrees bearing upon the necessities of the country, in the state of war existing between Mexico and the U. States. 1. For 'providing for the necessi ties of the treasury, the administration, duringthe space of six months from date, is empowered to levy contributioffs ih a tanner the most convenient and effica cious, without, however, seizing the plop erty belonging to individuals or corpora tints distributing the same in a propor tional and equitable' order. 2d. The na tional revenues- are to be used, for the saune period, according to exigency- pru dence guiding the appropriation 3. That the national debt be provided for, accord ing to law. 4. The finance department is directed to organize the collection of the ordinary revenues, and the contributions, without increasing the number of its offi cers. The Government declares that it wvill repel by force the invasion of the national territory. For this purpose, the Yarious corps are to be increased,aird every effort made to strengthen the army. The Gov: ernment will make known t'o foreign poer and altbte citizens of the Repub lic, as a mteans of justification, the causes of the war, and the necessity a hich exls& of rep~elling the aggiessictns made on Mex ic" by the United States. In consequence of the blockade of the principal ports, the rollowing are open to neutral and national vessels, when they find they cannot enter th'e places to whjich they are consigned, viz: the ports of Al: varado, Tuspad,Goatxacoales, Soto do Ia Miariua, and Feoluta, on the Golf, and M anzanillo 0on the Pacific.
