From Merico.-By the U. States cutter
Woodbury., dvices had been received
from Tampico to the 18Th inst, and from
Mexico and Vera Cruz to the 18th. The
Cen,ralist Army under Gen Arista, had
approached within Is leagues of Tampico,
which would submit, il was thought,
out resistance. In the port were lying an
American. a French, and an English brig
of war, on board Of whom, tho resident for
eieners had embarked their most valuable
effects. Nothing was doing at Tampico,
and many of the inhabitants had hed.-
From Vera Cruz the only information of
interest relates to the insolent treatment
received by the Texian minister. He was
forbidden TO land. under the threat of. i'm
prisonment, and the nation whom he re-
presented was styled brigands. robbers,
land thieves. &c. The news from the
capital confirms the capture Of General
Urea, who was conducted 10 Mexico,
there to await the decision Of court mar
tial on his case. which will, no doubr, be
sentence Of death. Santa Anua had be-
come exceeding ly popular-was once more
a great man, and will soon recover his lost
title 6f the Mexican Napoleon. Ifhe has
any regard for his reputation, he should
never again cross The Rio Grande. The
atmosphere of Texas will blast his Mexi-
can laurel<. The tyrant was making
great efforts to recruit the army. 1t is now
estimated at about fourteen lhousand.-
We cannot believe, however, that he has
any serious intention of attempting the
conquest Of Texas All accounts from
the interior indicate pacific state of
things. The liberal party are effcctualIy
put down for the present, aud the iron
sway Of despolism is now firmly re-estab-
lished.

Correspondence Of The Louisianian.
NEyIcu. Nav llih, 1889


Mexico, May lllh, 1880
The recent defeat OF The federalists in
The vicinity of Peubla, is mortal blow to
the liberal party. Thencctorward, that
party exists ouIy by name. In fact j, is
annihilatcd or al least reduced su low that
il will he long before it will be able to do
any thing for the restoration of the country.
Saua Anna has become the idol Of the
day. His name is tine common word in
The mouths OF The people, and such is the
frenzy of these black guards, who are in
majority, that if his eScellcncy chooses
TO make himself king, emperor, dictator,
in one day the central government would
disappear and be replaced by tyrant and
troop of slaves. l should not be surpris-
ed if such were the plan of Santa Anna.
All the men m power are sold to him the
arisocracy are for him, hody and SOUL
Against him are The clergy and the mill
tarv, who are devoted 10 BusIamente.-
Ir i, was not for the fear entertained by
Santa Anna from these two bodies, he
would ere now have proclaimed the ab,li-
cation of the ,tular President, and raised
himself bv decree of Congress to the
,lictaterial throne. But what he dare not
do openly,he plols in silence and darkness;
lie has prepared the ground on which he
means to contend. If Bustamentc does not
return soon. his election from the Pres
iency is not very uncertain, and if he re-
turns al all it will be to salute his sovc-
reign master. il he wishes 10 escape the
fate of the unfortunate Mcxia.
To overthrow Bustamenle. however re
quires. an effort of genius in his anlago.
nisr, Of which do not think him capable.
Bustamente is very popular throughout
The country. Besides the support of the
priests aud the army, he is the idolized
chief of a party Which is not spoken of,
but which exists, nevertheless, and may
take an imposing attitude should the OPP
portlnity ever present itself. You will
perceive that alude TO the Scotch ma

tamente, and are ready TO raise his STAN
dard whenever he gives the signal.
Bravo, who commands in the south, and
who, after Bustamente, is the most popu-
lar man in the army, also belongs to the
Scotch party. The union of these TWO,
will suffice amy time to destroy all the plans
of Santa Anna. The last, however, is
active in pushing his schemes, and sooner
or later there will be an open rupture
We expect it every moment, and we arc
in hopes that from the struggle will arise
a new order of 'hiuss, in which correct
principles Of government will flourish
Such is my opinion, at least-I hope ii
may be better founded than my opirior
respecting the unfortunate Mexia!
