Gen. SANTA ANNA is said to be highly
pleased with the respectful and courteous
manner in which he has been received by
the President. From what has been here
,ufore said since his arrival in this country,
he was rather inclined to "keep dark ;" but,
latterly, he has been much encoura ged to
come out and show himself. Many 10 WASH
ington are so anXious to take advantage of this
desire to see and he seen, that they make ga
lion' of him. There are always people e.
nough iling, as has been already remarked,
10 he "bobs 10 any great mans kile"-and,
we presume, Santa Ann's kite can fy as
high and carry as many hobs as any other
kite now at the metropolis. IN o,hing has as
yet transpired as 10 The nature or results of
the interviews which the Mexican President
has had with Gen. jackson. Possibly the
news just received from Mexico, may make
difference in the anticipated arrangements.
Can Mexico he, in reality, foolish enough TO
desire WAR with the United States We
can hardly think so. And yet it is certain
she is very much ihcensed, and that affairs
look quite belIigerent. A war with 6fexico
is not desirable on any account-but a evil

certain that il she does declare war she will
