lille nsorementS
BY the fast sailing bark Rapid, Captain Ward, in
twelve days from Havana, the New York Sun has
received full flies OF papers.
A steamer had arrived from Vera Cruz shortly
before the RAPID sailed, bringing few days later
news of interest, which we have translated. The
most important is that Congress had ordered the
manestoes Of the revolutionary general TO De PRINT
ed The Supreme Government had Issued orders
TO General Santa Anna, then at his place al Mango
de Claya, forthwith to unite IN his command The
troops IN the district OF Jalapa which amounted 10
upwards of ten thousand men, aud to proceed
against Paroles and his comrades Accordingly, as
We already know, Santa Anna issued bis proclama
ton, put himself at the head OF seven thousand M
fntry, 1900 cavalry and 20 ield-pieces. and on The
Odd be lett Mexico and marched towards aueretaro
with Gen Reyes, to which point tho troops followed
him About this time, the Mexican Congress passed
a resolution censurng the Minister at War Tor having
issued orders TO Santa Anna 10 take command oil The
.4rmy ofHs Republic, when the Constitution prohoit-
ed the Supreme Executive from acting in that capa
city. The reply OF the Secretary not having b en
deemed satisfactory they decided that General Santa
Anna had been assigned TO command the roops OF
district and not placed at the head OF the army IL
was therefore deemed necessary that The Minister
shou forth nth suspend the command OF Santa Anna
Meanwhile General Bsssadre had been appointed to
take his place. How Sania Anna will re,ish an or
der Which places him under the command OF Junior
officer remains to be- seen. We should not be sur
prised ii this course was 10 drive Santa Anna back
10 his farm. The Havana papers speak IN the most
dscourt cling OF the STATE Of affairs Ia Next
co. The Indians continue to pour IN upon the Mex
cans from every direction II Is said that the Ameri-
can Minister had made another communication to
the Government and the French had sent an agent to
demand explanations relative TO ourages offered Il
French citizens Great confusion and disorder pre-
vailed in every section of that devoted country.

We are happy 10 be able TO state, from a
source entitled to the highest respect, that in
the late disturbances in The Island of Cuba,
which occasioned at first much CONSERVATION
from the supposed extent aud seriousness of the
plot, but which, thanks to the wisdom and firm
ness OF the Governor General, are now most
happily allayed, the whole course of His Ex-
cellency, General O'Donnell, in this disagreed
bic affair has been marked by impartiality and
clemency, as well as by courtesy and good will
towards the United States. The mode in which
the proceedings against such Americans
as had been imprisoned on the occa-
sion, were conducted, and which led 10
their prompt liberation from arrest was
such as justified the high confidence
reposed in his Excellency by our Government.
and received, as it merited, its unqualified APP
probation. The zeal Gen. O'Donnell has al
ways evinced TO cultivate and TO advance the
relations of amity, and Of mutual and common
interests, which subsist between Cuba and thu
country is duly appreciated, and furnishes album
dant and irrefragable proof of error and mis-
representation on the part Of the journals which
have so often and so harshly a.sailed him.

The DEMocRATIc REVIEW for December (the
receipt of which, from Mr.. Franck Taylor, Of
this city, is hereby acknowledged contains, as
we conceive, all article of unblushng mlsrepre-
sensations. Ii represents the decision OF the
People at the late election, to be in favor OF the
views of Messrs. Van Buren,, Wright and Ben
ion. against the immediate annexation" OF
Texas, and in decided condemnation of the
measure as recommended by President Tyler!
The article is short and weak, written, we sup
pose, at the instigalion of enc Of the abomna-
BILE ciques of the day, and is altogether unwor-
thy of serious notice. We may say, however, in
this connection, that the Democracy, in contra
distinction 10 dynaslc clique, no doubt have it
in contemplation to establish work which will
reflect the sentiments of the party.
From the tenor of the article in the Review,
one might suppose that the design l., first TO
foist upon the party mere modest locum fe-
mems, and finally TO force forward Messrs. Van
Buren, and Clay, as the opposing candidates in
ls48. Surely the two great parties and The
Government do not belong 10 the two distln-
guished individuals named above! We should
think that the People in this Republic would AT
length grow weary of being eterndily marshal
led under the banners of two particular men |!
Novelty, alone, would be sufficient TO induce as
to prefer new men-but such, also, we deem TO
be the demand OF the Democratic principle Of
rotation"
Parties do not belong to the leaders-lhe lead
ers are rather the servants of the parties; and
we have recently had one glorious example of a
party thrusing aside old leaders, and appointing
new ones. And so far there has been nothing
to repent in that movement We do no, think
there will be any relreatins-any retrograde
m0tiOu-uu ~.
