Owing to the lateness of the hour which the papers came to hand, they have not had time to examine the files minuely
 The most important news by this arriva is the confirmation of Ihe account previously given, of the capture of Santa Anna. The Minister of Exterior Relations announced to the Mexican Congress on the l7th uIt the fact of Sanna Anna's capture, and read the following official conveying the intelligence.

 The minister further informed congress that Santa Anna would be condemned to the Fortress of Peroie, to await the decision of Government.
 proclamation dated January l4lh, announced the re.estabshment of peace in Mexico, and invited the citizens 10 return 10 their homes. The members forming the Provisional Government of lS41. have been requested to form part of the Assembly under the same charter. The commanding officers at Vera Cruz and Tamaulpas have addressed thanks 10 the soldiers under their commands.
 We learn bally that Santa Anna, prey,ous to his defeat, entered Puebla, p,laged and burnt the town and bulchered the inhabitants. IIis army of 10 to l2OOO men turned against him, and he now mains without friend to his cause. Gen. Ampudia had beea recalled, and replaced by Martinez. Am pudia declared that all he had done was by order of Santa Anna. Ii is sad to be the opinion of wei in- formed people in Mexico, that Santa Anna will be shot, but that he will be kept for time to try to get him 10 disclose where his is, before they | execute him.
