the attempt on the part of the papers generally, in

the ports of the British islands, yet from one port,
Liverpool three-fourhs of those who take pas

LATE FROM MEXI CO.

BY the arrival of the fast sailing schooner Gu
manche, we have received our regular files from
Vera Cruz to the 9Th, and from the city of Mex
leo to the 4ih inst. inclusive. The return of
Bustamente to power has been signalized by two
acts which, in our opinion, are bitter satire on
the policy of Santa Anna The first of these
acts restores to the press all the rights and priv
l!eges which il formerly possessed. The second
annuls the celebrated contract for loan concu-
ded by the hero of Tamaulipas, which would
have been extremely burdensome to Mexico.
Correspondence Of the Lousianian.
Extract Of letter from Vera Cruz, dated Au-
gust 9Th, 1899.
The political position Of this country has taken
turn little discouragng, on account of the
measures taken by Busamente since his resump-
ton TO the presidency, which are in opposition
to every thing done by Santa Anna, whilst he
held the reins of government He commenced
by changing his ministry-he first stroke Of his
poilcy-he aftern ards re-establiahed the liberty
OF the press, which had been muZZled by Santa
Anna, and he has since caused congress to annul
the last loan made by Benemerto which disclo-
SEES the most scanaalous act ever perpetraed, and
which will annihate the little credit yet preserved
by the republic in Europe. But he has had great
satisfaction and the fate of his country is the least
OF his cares. Still there are people perfdous
enough to laud in the newspapers the services
rendered to the republic during his reign. All
these occurrences, as you may suppose, are no,
of nature to restore tranquility Vera Cruz is
commanded by the brother-n-aw Of Santa Anna
General CoIo) who, when he learned General
Gaona had been appointed governor Of the Castle
of Ulloa, declared that he would not allow him 10
take possession Of that part, and that he had 5000
men, including the convicls under his command TO
oppose him qe,e tale Can we be otherwise than

Extract Of another letter from Vera Cruz dated
9Th August.
They speak of project Of a pronunc ianien-
70, which will shortly take place here 1t is ex-
pected to take place as General Gaona ar
rlves, who has been appointed commander of
Uoa by Bustamente. Santa Ana manages this
thing underhandly. This wretch who has covered
himselfwilh ignominy BY the acts of his admins
traion, wants TO make an nsurrection against
Bustamente, because the latter blamed certain
shameful contracts which he had entered into.
The chamber has just annulled the contract for
loan, which Santa Anna had concluded with an
English company for 100000 sterling. This
contract would have loaded the nation with a
debt Of several millions without giving it a cent.
Saata Anna has received large present for his
part. There has also been a contract for 1900
muskets, which are to arrive at Vera Cruz, at
$64 each, by which means Santa Anna would
have gained 100000 and his ministry much

THE YELLOW FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS.

From the lst to the 18th of August, there
were one hundred and forty nine deaths by yell
low fever in the city of New Orleans. The Lou
isianan of the 10Th says:
The disease is spreading over the whole city
1t has gone on increasing, and the poor sran-
gers who were the subject of discussion are fall
ling victims to their imprudent security. There
is no longer any safety but in fight. There is no
glory TO be acquired in bavng such an enemy ;
there is no profitable business for most persons
in these dreary times, and there is great risk to
be encountered. Strangers, therefore, will do
well to seek safety in the neighborhood of the

Haleck's Fanny.-Harper 81 Brothers have
at length prevailed on the author Of Fanny" to
let them publish new edition Of that and several
other poems. The TACT is conclusive as to their
powers of persuasion, for il is notorious that other
publishers have exerted their eloquence upon him
in vain. Fanny was published eighteen gears
ago it was bought up rapidly, and for the last
dozen years and more, has been utterly unpur-
chaseable, although in great demand. The de-
sire to possess it has even gone SO far that man
uscript copies have been taken and we ourselves
have been offered its weight in gold for copy in
our possession.
Among the " other poems" now re-published
are The : familiar epstle to Mr.. Recorder Riker,"
which appeared in the Evening Post the last of
The Croakers-in 1928; and another to Walter

their day.

short-h horned or Durham cattle, until you are pre-

succession, and plenty Of food and good shelters
in the winter. Thus provided for, they are val

they are little better than native cattle.
