schooner Sarah Ann likewise arrived here yesterday
from Tampco, which port she left on the 2lst ulI by
these arrivals we have intelligence wnat later and
more full than Lad previously reached us.
That the outbreaks which have occurred in different
states OF Mexico Of the most serious character there
is no room 10 doubt. 1t was reported al Vera Cruz
when the Woodbury. left, that nearly half Of the
Mexican army had evo'ed and declared against Santa

stated in the Galveston papers--io which we are liz

OF the contribution of the four millions of doais granted
by Congress Tor the war against Texas, had been real

II was currently -cporied in Galveston, when The
New York les. that Gen AriSa had taken part with
fHfed.s, and was marching at the head Of large force
upon San Louis Pots. This tim,oi reached Galveston
through many different sources, as to leave little
doubt That atsa will act IN concert with Paredes, how
ever mict his orcts may have been exaggerated and
his movements misepresenled. II is certain that he
has been superseded in the command Of the "Army Of
the North, and his friendly relations with Paedes are
no secret.
Santa Anna reached Perole on the night Of the l4lh
ut, on his way 10 The city Of Mexico; about 5000 troops
were On the road in advance Of him. There grca,

him the mefchsnts It his Government that in they

II Is also stated that proposition has been made 10

this proposition, which. if carried out wonld give hin

To oppose him, Santa Anna has almost all the North
eTn and Western States of MeXi leo, where dssat,slac
ton is wide spread. General Paroles has placed him
self at The head OF the revolt, and ustfes himself in
long proclamation which appears in the Mexican pa
pers. denooncing the conduct Of Santa Anna.
The citizens of Vera Cruz are somew hat alarmed TO
the safety Of their fleet lying at New York. The,
are afraid The Cnied States may lay her heavy hant
upon them.
