stnt. Gen. Tornel was chosen President, and
Gen. Almonte and another. Secretaries. Gen.
Piredesas then chosen President f the Re.
pMic. His election and his acceptance wpre
communicated through a committee. A com
mittee of three wag appointed to draw up he
oajh to be administered to the President. Tjivo
of them reported in favor ot an oath in the us.
ua form, to observe the existihglaws, !&c. ; but
Gen. Bustamente was in fiifor! of compelling
ihej President to swear to repel thefi invasion
of the United States.' After a Jong discussion
the. Assembly assented to thei report of the ma.
jority, and, upon this ground, thai the
manded by (Jen. Bustamente woiild
mount to a declaration of war, aiid that it was
beyond the competency of the Assembly to de
clare war. . - I' ' i
0u the 4th inst'v the oath was administered in
great state. The Piesident made a Nrief dis.
course, to which Gen. Tornel replied, and all
hands pnieeeded to the cathedral, whpte a Te
Dtpm was celebrated. The President's dis
coiirse is patriotic and commonplace, a'njl makes
no allusion to the f ueign aflairsof the republic.
'I he Assembly adjourned the same day. The
torn of the oath which thePrestdent finally took
is as fjllows : j '; .
"You swear to God to sustain the independ
ence and integrity of the national territory : a
gatnst any fireign aggression whatever ; and
the, Republican, popular, representative system ;
and the plan of administration of the Republic,
Agreed to by the Act of the Army on the 2d of
January.
The Gen. Bustamente, who took prjrt in this
Assembly, was not the ex-President jof that
name. Both he and Gen. ilerrera wjere inyi-
led to take part in the proceedings, but indig
nantly refused. j

, The latest dates from this city' which the Ve
ra-Cruz editors had receivedwere ihej29th No
vember. They infer from I them somewhat
strangely that the: Cabinet of Washington was
somewhat alarmed at the menacing jaspect o
our relations with England, and inclined to re
cejde from its extreme pretentions in regard to
Texas so far even as to restore the hew State
to Mexico, ' flattering unction ! ' i
Gravo complaints are made in a communica

there are numerous Mexicans regulafly engag
ed in furnishing the American troops at Corpus

Of the $30,000 in the National Treasury the

appears doubtful. i j

I have little a bright haired boy, j
With eyes of blue-bell hue, j
And cheeks as velve ty and fresh ;
As roses bathed with dew.
His lips as fragrant seem to mine,
As strawberries in May ; j '
And with n Hsping voice he sings1,
Hurra ! hurra! for Clay ! j

'Three summers only hath he seen,
And when I hear his voice, '
So full of melody and glee,
It makes my heart rejoice. j
