ENGLISH LOAN TO SANTA ANNA

by the British mail, Midway, which ar

erpool, we have received highly important
intelligence from Mexico by private cor.
respondence from that capital, and of The
most authentic character.
Santa Anna, at length, positively procur.
ed loan IN London, TO the amount of G3,.
O00,000 sterling-or $4,000, 000-for a
period OF fourteen years without the pay.
ment OF any annual interest, until the peri.
Cd OF reimbursement, when the holders OF
the stock will receive $40 for 500, on,
and out. The agents Of this loan in Lon
don are James Morrison d Co., Of London.

stockholders, and in consideration thereof.
all English manufactures were TO be admit.
ted into Vera Cruz and other ports Of Mex.
leo, at nominal duty for the same period
OF which the loan is taken.
We have also learned some particulars
OF the history Of this loan, which We now
give, and shall add more hereafter.
AT the close Of the last year, or the be-
ginning Of the present, an agent from Santa
Anna proceeded to London, for the purpose
OF efiecting loan, Oh any terms or condi-
lions. After great deal of negotiation
IN London, an agent Of the great banking
house of Morrison d Co., in London, pro.
ceedod to Mexico, by one of the West In.
dia steamers. On reaching Mexico, after
some negotiation, the terms of the loan
were arranged, according to the statemen,
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
10 General Hamilton, the Texan envoy in
Europe. II was the union of English abo.
lltion, aud Mexican influence in London.
| that prevented the success Of the Texan
loan attempted by General Hamiton-and
the same union that was successful 10 the
Mexican, aided by the Mexican mines and
trade. In The mean time, about six or
eight weeks ago, the agent Of the Morri-
sons, accompanied by an aid de camp of
Santa Anna, whose name we believe is NJ.
Escandon, left Vera Cruz, reached Ha.
yana in time to take the steamer Midway.
which touched at this port on FRIDAY last.
The names Of both are in the list OF pas.
sengers. They were also accompanied
by NJ. 4. Cal,leron &c la Barca. the Span
lsh minister at Mexico, on his return to
Spain. BY these persons, the intelligence
was brought 10 this city, and several com.
mercial letters were also received here.
stating positively the facts as we have re.
lated them.
We further learn that it is the intention
ofthe Mexican government, as soon as they
shall have received steamships, muskets,
and other munitions of war from England,
and brought to them under the English
flag, the proceeds Of their loan, that a ter.
ribie invasion of Texas will be made both
by sea aud land, and that a number of
British navy and army officers will be en-.
gnged TO lead their troops to battle. The
loan will take no money from England, but
SIMPLY ships, steamers, and munitions of
war. In Mexico, they have men, provi.
sions, every thing except good officers and
munitions of war. Santa Anna is furious
for the invasion of Texas and if he should
succeed in driving the Texans into the
United States, he intends TO invade Lou.
isiana and Arkansas-besides threatening
the whole valley Of the Mississippi with
his vengeance.
OF the general accuracy of the import
ant facts we have detailed, there can be no ,
mistake. The idea Published in New-Or-
leans, that 10 England had been ceded the .
CALIFORNIA;, is without foundation. No
doubt England would like 10 get that eoun-
try, but the vigilance and jealousy of Rus.
STA in the north west nterposes insupera-
Bile obstacles 10 such purpose. The Bri-
fish policy is 10 bring Mexico and the
United States into conflict, through Texas.

II IS very evident that at the first step to.
wards the invasion Of Texas by Mexico,
" lumutuous army" will rush from the
valley Of the Mississippi across the Sabine.
This fact will furnish to Santa Anna, in
the event of victory, pretext TO invade
the United States, and TO refuse to liquid.
