MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

We have read Mexican. Gazettes as late
as the 18th of Dec. which gives a differ

quarter, than those that reach U. by way
OF Havana. These papers notice The de-.
lection of Santa Ana, az a matter OF very
little importance, and attribute his oppo-
sition 10 motives of revenge. and moi pa
triotism and state that he was formerly

We perceive also, that in dissolving the

Mexican government endeavors to palliate

represent the situation Of affairs there as
very deplorable; n disposition 10 rebuild
the place. Many persons who had money
refused 10 pay their debts, making the fire
an excuse. The government was about
rebuilding the Custom house on the former
site. Lumber would not bring cost and
charges, all the lumber vessels in the out
ports having proceeded With their cargoes
to that port. Dry goods were unstable,
and provisions could only be disposed Of
at retail. Flour was scarce. but the sup
