Santa Ana again President of Merico.-The
French ship Bordelais Packet No. 8, from
Vera Cruz, whence she sailed 9th January,
brings the above news. II was received at
the port of her departure, on the evening of
the 10Th by express, consequently the effects
of this unexpected appointment, for it can
hardly be believed that he was elected by
the people, could not have been received al
Vera Cruz when the Bordelais sailed.
Bustamente is said to have been appointed
to the command Of division of the army,
consisting of 600 men, and ordered to march
against Urea at Tampico. The decree ex-
was to have been rigidly enforced on the 9th
of the present month, (February.)N
The English and French squadrons were
lying in the harbor of Vera Cruz, together
with about 90 sail, of various descriptions,
nothing having transpired to interrupt the
good feelings which. apparently, have exist
cd between them since their arrival '''

Wholesale Abduction placard has made
its appearance in the streets of our city,
signed by Robert Deyell, offering $50 re-
ward for the recovery of sleigh and pair
of horses, supposed to have been stolen by
one William Smith, at Lisbon, ST. Lawrence
The circumstances of the case, (says the
hand-bilD are somewhat aggravated by, the
following circumstances, viz: Mrs. Deyell,
with her SOD, 8 years old, the wife of the
owner of the sleigh and horses, was on her
way to her residence late in the evening, and
was met by the said Smith, who took the
lines from Mrs. Deyell. and drove off with
considerable speed. Neither of the individ.
uals have since been heard from. The above
reward and all reasonable charges will be
paid for the horses and thief or fifty dollars
for the thief soosnan and child, DC. s5
We understand that Mrs. Deyell had been
on visit 10 neighbours, with her child, hav
ing $50 in money about her person, and was
returning home in her sleigh at IL o'clock at
night, when Smith met her and sprapg into
| the sleigh, and drove off at a rapid rate. A
man who was on the road saw the sleigh 90
past him and heard the woman scream
Thus much, therefore, would seem to prove
that the flight was involuntary on the part of
the lady. But it is said that Smith and Mrs,
Deyell have since been heard of at Tripe's
Hill, Montgomery Co, from which it is fair
to infer that the lady has become reconciled
