MKxIco-FuRrngR PARrIcuLARs-S Since our
last publication, we have seen several letters and
papers that were not in our possession when we
made our resume Of the intelligence brought by
the Lanrens. These threw dark shade over the
fortunes OF Santa Anna, and give more impos-
| ing front 10 the revolution headed by Paredes-
| Some OF the statements in the letters We have
| since seen, are, OF course, coDJecrural, and made
by parties who are not OF the Dctator's faction
yet they come 10 US IN shape that entie the m to
all The credit that can be gwen 10 the representa-
tions oil persons who speak what they think OF
cause that they do not esp0use.
A letter from Vera Cruz, dated on the 30th No
vember, states that the revolution in Jalsco pre-
senIs each day an aspect more formidable. Gen.
Paredes is SAID to be at the head OF Sor 10 600 men,
and the South IS uniting with the disc fiected Ia
catecas, Aguas Callentes, and a part of San Luis
Potosi have seconded or approved of the pyoNw~-
cidniento oi Paredes while II is asserted that Ca
Jaca has also declared against Santa Anna. The
latter has positively declared against the Congress,
while that body is daily publishing every document
received, both for and against the revolution-a
circumstance which would indicate that the men,
bers determined 10 act independently, and have
little fear of the Dictator That majority OF them
in favor OF a change OF government, and hear
tlly sick of the tyranncal and oppressive measures
Of Santa Anna, we see no reason 10 doubt, and
they also in favor of his being called to strict
account for his actions previous TO the convening
ol the Congress.
The same letter likewise states that Santa Anna
has, or will have, on reaching Queretaro, body
Of 10000 men, and also that he has obtained $780,
600 from the brokers Of the city TO carry his
operations with activity. Whether this money
Th %er
TO verify the rumor given yesterday that Santa
Anna had executed several officers who were
leagued against him. We translate the following
extract: "Various officers of the army of Santa
Anna, who had deserted, have been shot, and this
act has excited much indignation against the Die
| tator."
Department OF Puebla, have declared in favor of
the movement of Jalisco, SO it is said. II this be
true, Santa Anna seems to be surrounded on all
sides by enemies.
One letter was received by the Laurens, which
we have been permitted 10 read. which states that
it was momenlariy expected that General Pedro
CoraZdT, residing at Ceaya IN the State Ot GUIANA
jua,o, would come out in favor Of the plan OF Pa
redes. A letter from him had been intercepted, in
which he expressed himself in strong terms, against
Santa Anna, declaring tAft he is not for HIM, and
other resource than TO openly embrace the cause OF
the revoutioniss. Should this prove true, Santa
Anna has popular and powerful officer arrayed
against him. AT the time the Santa Fe prisoners
were marched through Guanajuato, Cortazar was
Governor OF the State. He was spoken of az a
brave and mertorlous officer by the Mexicans-he
certainly treated the unfortunate Texans with every
leniency. allowing them days rest at Celaya and
the liberty Of the place, sending all the sick and In
firm to the hospitals, and providing those no
well with comfortable quarters in a convent and an
abundance OF the beat provisions
Above we have gwen such items from the letters
before US as we have deemed Of interest TO our
readers-such as may asset the n In fOrmiDg bet
ter opinion cf the present state OF parties in Mexico
owing to the tyranny Of the government towards
the press, and the surveillance exercised the
channels OF public intelligence, il is difficult to OBJ
tain exact information from the theatre OF events
that particularly interesting TO the people othis
country, from the unfnendly dispositions evinced
by the government of M xico towards that OF the
United Stetes. We will endeavor, from time to
time, to keep our readers advised Of the precise
posture Of Mexican affairs, in 20 far that term
may be applicable 10 information derived through
such precarous and scaniy means are allowed 10
the circulation Of news IN that distracted Republic
