MEXICAN REVOLUTION.

The intelligence which we lald before
our readers yesterday, of the overthrow of
Santa Anna, Of his capture aud con6ne.
ment, puts period 10 the stirring interest
of news from Mexico. The revolution
having been completely established, it
oaly remains for US TO gather such items
of news connected with recent events, as
were unavoidabiy overlooked yesterday,
in consequence of the late hour al which
we received our letters and papers.
The capture Of the ex-President was
effected by detachment Of the volun.
teers Of Jico, under command Of D. ANA
do Rodrinez, on The evening Of the 18th of
January. According to the official report,
he surrendered himself with alacrily aud
ye, with dignity. lie demanded 10 be es-
corted 10 his hacienda at Encero, there TO
avail, passports which he alleged hc eX
pecled. 10 enable him to leave the country.
Our files from Mexico and Vera Cruz say
nothing Of the manner OF his capture, save
wtIa, we have jHst stated; the account wa
gave Yesterday that he was discovered by
Indians through the saSacity of their dogs,
was on verbal authority; we fluid no men
tien of it in the papers-lhe omission is
not, however, proof Of lis inaccuracy.-
Immediately upon his capture he address
ed a letter 10 Gen. Rincon, through Gen.
Guzmau, requesting that his person might
be respected aud himself spared from the
insults OF his enemies. His demands were
complied with, and under an escort offive
hundred men he entered Jalapa in the
evening, thai hour being selected to avoid
any demonstration Unpopular feeling which
his presence might have provoked. He
was subsequently, transferred 10 Peroie,
and the orders were positive tha, he should
be strictly guarded, but al the same time
treated with the consideration due TO a
distinguished soldier in misfortune. and al
lowed every indulgence compatible with
his personal safety.
On the l7lh Of January, the two Cham
bcrs Of Congress were assembled in their
capacity Of " Grand Jurors" and the cap
ture of Santa Anna announced 10 them by
Senor Cuevas, the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, in an address marked by great
temperance and dignity. The reply Of
Seuor Rosa, who presided over the Cham-
hers, was iu the same spirit. There is
nothing said of vengeance by either of
them; they recommend that the passions
which were naturally excited by the resis-
tance of general at the head OF numerous
forces, should be allowed to sutside now
that the same general is prisoner al their
mercy. The editors, too, Of the capital
write in the same strain; they manifest no
cacerucss for the condemnation off the rris
ener, and depreeaec auy haste in his trial
or any violence unworthy Tho justice aud
masuanimhy Of the Mexican naliea. The
papers of Vera Cruz show disposition
widely differeul from this, and call vio-
lentIy for the blood Of the tyrant. The
latest dates from the capital 10 not indicate
distinctly whether he has yet been ordered
,Ii,her 10 take his trial. We might fur
nish further details of the gallant resistance
made by Gen. Iuclan 10 the repeated as
saul,s Of Santa Auna upon PueIla, but now
tha, the issue is known they would be de-
void Of interest.
Santa Anna. prior to his capture, had
renounced the Presidency aud thrown up
his command Of the army, which he de-
voaved upon Senor Sierray Rosso. Gen.
Bravo had received The orders of the Presi-
dent 10 remove from ,heir commands a
number of the officers who had adhered 10
Santa Auna, and to fill their places. These
were to undergo trials. The soldiers COM
posing his army were daily arriving at the
capital in small parties.
Gen. Alvarez left Mexico on the Goth OF
January for the Southern Departments,
fully empowered by the Government to
take measures for their entire and perma-
uens paci6ca.ion.
General Valencia, having vacated bis
command Of The troops of the capital, has
been ordered by Gen. Herrera, from the
three names presented to him by the Coun,
cil of Government, as the President Of the
Council.
Now tina, the contest with Santa Anna
r. over, the Government is turning its at,
