From MEXIco-The DowntaH Of Santa .fnaa
Confirmed the New Orleans papers receiv-
ed last night contain dates from Vera Cruz to
the 18th ult., confirming the news brought by
MIR. Gushing at New York, concerning the re-
volution in Mexico, and the overthrow of Sam
ia Anna, We cxtIact the following from the
Picayune.
On the evening of the 9th and during the
whole of the 18th of December the greatest re-
loicings took place in the city of Mexico, ac'
companied by many acts which show the deep
detostation in which Santa Anna was held 4
number Of his portraits in the public places
were dragged through the streets, torn into
fragments; and every lepero preserved u piece
as a memcnto Of their opprcssor'S DOWNFALL
The statue Of Santa Anna in the plaza was
tumbled down, broken in pieces, and the head
borne in triumph through the city. 1t is also
stated that the crowd, into sicated with Joy and
frantic with revenge, afterwards proceeded TO
the monument where tie leg of their Dictator
had been buried with so much pomp year
or two since, broke it into atoms, and then
kicked and dragged the embalmed limb trough
the plazas ana fincipal thoroughtares.
While all th is was being enacted by the mob,
the moro Prominent citizens were rejoicing
heartily IN the change of Government. Messa-
yes OF co ngratulation between the triumphant
Sena' g and House were interchanged and the
new President, Herrera, was waited upon by
crowds, who appeared most joyous in obtaining
relief from the despotic rule under which they
have groaned since the downfall of Bustamente.
Such were the scenes enacted in Mexico
great were the rejoicngs all over the couatry.
The revelation against Santa Anna appears
to be general, yet we hear of little bloodshed
except at Jalapa, where few persons were kill
ed At Puebla the inhabitants rose as with one
voice, tumbled down the statue of the obnoxi-
Gus tyrant, and tore his portrait into thou
sand tatters.
The revolution at Vera Cruz broke out on
the 9Th inst, and notwithstanding this may be
considered as one of Santa Annas strongholds,
the popular feeling against him appears to have
been almost unanimous. The critic, or cry
was first raised few miles from the city by
Col. Senobio, who, with few hundred follow,
ers, declared IN favor of Congress. Soon af
tie, Don Bento Quiiano, Governor Of Vera
:. Cruz, pronounced against Santa Anna and in
favor of the Congress, and Immediately all
was excitement and rejoicing.
The populace first tore the por raft of the
Dictator in tatters, and then burnt it in the
plaza, after which they proceeded in crowds to.
wards the houses of several citizens who were
obnoxious from their known friendship for San.
ia Anna, thirsting for vengeance and threaten.
ing to take their lives. Owing to the efforts
of the Commandante General their lives were
spared, he promising the pcpulace that al
those who had made themselves inmica tc
the best interests of the people should be ban,
shed the city.
On the following day order was completely
restored, the citizens in the meantime forming
