Important from Electromagnetic Loan to
Santa Anna---Invasion OF Texas Certain.
BY the British mail steamer, Midway, which ar
rived here from Havana Friday last, and sailed
for Halifax on Saturday, to connect with the Bri-
fanns, on her way to Liverpool, we have received
highly important intelligence from Mexico by pr-
vate correspondence from that capital and of the
most authentic character.
Santa Anna has, at length positively procured
loan In London, to the amount of f3 600 900 sterling
-or$l5O0 ,0O0-for period of fourteen years with
out the payment of any annual interest, until the pc
nod OF reimbursement, when the holders of the
stock Will receive $40 for 800, out and out. The
agents for this loan in London are James Morrison
~ Co. of London The British government be-
comes the guarantee for It's repayment 10 the Eng
lsh stockholders, and in consideration thereof all
English manufactures are to be admitted into Vera
Cruz and the oherports of Mexico, at nominal du-
ty, for the same period at which the loan is taken.
We have also learned some particulars of the hsto-
ny OF this loan, which we now give, and shall add
more hereafter
AT the close of last year, or the beginning of the
present, an agent from Santa Anna proceeded to
London, for the purpose of efecting loan, on any
terms or conditions After great deal of negotia-
ton IN London agent of the great banking house
OF Morrison Il Co., of London, proceeded to Mex
co, by one of the West India steamers On reaching
Mexico, after some negotiation, the terms of the
loan were arranged, according to the statement we
have given. On this being effected. Santa Anna,
being almost like to burst wrote and published the
recent letters to General Houston, President Of
Texas, and TO General Hamilton, the Texan envoy
IN Europe. 1t was the union of the English abeli-
ton and Mexican influence in London. that proven
ted the success of the Texian loan attempted by
General Hamilton-and the same union that was
successful in the Mexican, aided by the Mexica-
mines and trade. In the mean time, about six or
eight weeks ago, the agent of the Morrisons, accom-
panied by an aid dc camp of Santa Ana, whose name
we believe Is VI. Escandon, lefdVera Cruz; reached
Havana in time TO take the steamer Midway, which
touched al this port on Friday last. The names of
both are IN the list of passengers. They
companed by NJ. A Calderon del Barca the Spa
nish minister at Mexico, on his return to Spain BY
these persons, the intelligence brought to this
city, and several commercial letters were also re-
ceved here, stating positively the facts as we have
related them.
We further learn that ii is the intention of the
Mexican government, as soon as they shall have re-
ceived steamships, muskets, and oher munitions of
from England, and brought to them under the
English flag, the proceeds of their loan, that ter
ribe invasion of Texas will be made both by sea
and land, and that number of British navy and ar
my officers win be engaged to lead their troops to
battle. The loan will take money from England,
but simply ships, steamers, and munitions of war.
In Mexico they have men, provisions, every thing
except good officers and munitions of war. Santa
Anna is furious for the invasion of Texas-and if
\. Or -, H., Il.
United States, he intends to invade Louisiana and
Arkansas-5esides threatening the whole valley of
the Mississippi with his vengeance.
OF the general accuracy of the important
facts we have detailed, there can be no mistake
The idea published in New Orleans, that to England
had been coded the CALIFORNIA; is without founda
ton No doubt England would like TO get that
country, but the vigilance and jealousy of Russia in
the north west interposes insuperabe obstacles to
such purpose. The British policy is TO bring Mex
co and the United States into conflict through Texas
and by keeping both in state of war; so weaken
them, 10 be able to govern and control the poll
cy and interests of both 1t is very evident that the
hrS step towards the invasion of Texas by Mexico,
"tumultuous army" will rush from the valley of
the Mississippi across the Sabine. This fact will
furnish TO Santa Ana in the event of victory, pre-
text 10 invade the United States, and to refuse TO
hquidate the indemnity agreed upon by his commits
sioners at Washington. 1t s,'however, not so very
certain that the Texans, assisted by the whole An
go Saxon race of this continent, will not carry the
war into Mexico, and plant the standard of the
lone star" in the palace of the Montezumas.
At all events, awar-icrce and bloody-between
Mexico ana Texas, is now certain. Let US pre-
pare ioI such events.
