MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The editor of the Washington Gazette
has read Mexican papers as late as the
l1th OF December, which give differcn
account OF the affairs passing in that qua,
ter, frc:i those that reach us by way o.
Havana. These papers notice the de
lection of Santa Ana, as a matter of yer,
little importance, and attribute his oppo
si,ion to motives of revenge, and not pat.
rotism ; and state that his was formerly
one OF the greatest parasites near the per
son ct lturbide. So says the Court Ga
zette. In the case of the difference be.
tween the Columbian minister, Santa
Maria, which has hitherto been repre-
senied in very unIavorabie light on The
part ofthe Mexican government, it would
seem from the official correspondence
that passed on the occasion betweeo the
accused and Herrera, secretary of state.
that the former was implicated in an ex-
tensive conspiracy against The govern.
ment near which he resided.
The finances of Mexico, though no,
in hourishing state, are said to be ade
quate to meet the demands for the pre-
| sent year.
