New OaLEANs, 3lst January, 1887.
The schooner Lucy arrived yesterday
from Tampico, but having sailed on the
18th instant with the Bonita, and not on the
l9th, as enormously stated in the shipping
list, we have no later accounts from that
quarter than those brought by the latter
vessel, and Consequently the rumors spread
abroad of the movements of Bravo, or the
total desersion of his army are totally un-
founded. Among the passengers on board
the Lucy is Mr.. Robertson, American Con-
sui at Tampico, TO which gentleman was
yesterday introduced by friend. Mr.. Rob
ertson could not give me any information in
addition to that | am in possession OF, on the
state of organized anarchy and confusion
prevailing in that unhappy country, further
Than that the partizans of the present ad.
rninstration, and the Mexcans in general,
entertained great fears Of the projects of the
traitor Santa Anna, Gas he is styled by
many,) on his return to the Republic.
These fears arise no doubt--as | have
formerly stated-from the various instruc.
tons sent by this General to most Of his
adhercnts, to be ready to support new
pronunciamiento in favour of the federal
system, but which orders, according to the
best information, did not emanate from
Santa Anna.
IMPORTANT! GOOD FOR TEXAS!!
BY the schooner Atrcrido, 8 days from
Campeachy, have received the Con,eta of
the 4th and 9th inst, in which find the re-
lease Of Santa Anna officially announced to
the Governor of Yucatan, Brigadier Toro,
in letter written by Santa Ana from Velasco
Texas, and another from Colonel Nunez,
dated from New Orleans.
The announcement Of this intelligence is
preceded by the customary salutations OF
Tiya Santa Ana Viva our worthy PreSi-
dent Vira Ia Pairia BY an order of The
Governor salute of so guns was fired, the
bells of the churches were rung, and gen.
eral illumination took place, and it is to be
remarked that both Santanites and fedora
lists joined heartily in the public rejoicings.. :.
In addition to this information, | have
been informed that Gov. 1oro, brothcr-in
law TO Santa Ana, has actually refused 10
give up his command to the officer sent by
the Government of Mexico, declaring that
he was determined not to listen TO any
orders which should not emanate from the
President of the Republic, General Santa
Ana, by whom he had been entrusted with
tie Government Of that province. Toro has
under his command about 500 regular
troops, and owing to the geographical stua-
ton of Yucatan, he will, no doubt, be able
to keep his ground until the return Of Santa
Ana, unless the government Of Mexico sue
coed in causing detection among his troops
as they did at Vera Cruz, for the purpose OF
depriving Governor Vazquez Of his COM
rnand, who was another strong adherent OF
Santa Ana.
Independent Of this state of affairs Of
Yucatan, Criaco Vazquez, former Cover.
nor at Vera Cruz, and many other patriots
are recruiting all the amateurs of prOnun-
ciamentos they can-.-and there are not a
f:w---in order to prepare favorable rccep-
ton to Santa Ana. In one word, from the
information | have in my possession,
cannot otherwise than conclude that should
the gates of Vera Cruz be shut to the
Vencedor del Alamo, he will meet with the
best reception at Campeachy, IL perhaps al
Tampico. That his return to Mexico must
bring into coalition the Santanites and Bus
anentions appears to me evident, as like
wise that the present administration mus
appeal to the forces under Bravo and Am
ador, TO oppose the Santanites.
The revolution of California, and tho
separation Of tina: country from the Mex
can Republic is fully confirmed. Wher
Mr.. Robertson left Tampco, it was said
and the rumor was credited by the Mexi
cans, that Commodore Kennedy, comman
der ofthe American station on the Pacific
a,had landed part ofhis forces at California
to support the CalGornans; but this is no
probable. The Lucy left at Tampico th'
schooners Cora and ID. H. Miller, waitin,
for the arrival of "a convoy of specie of from
100000 to 100000, which was expected
from the interior.
