SANTA ANNA.-Thc New Orleans Plea.
yunc, considering the probable fate of Santa
Anna, arrives at the conclusion that he will
be cNpairiatcd for a time, and that death will
rot be the decision arrived at BY those who
are to sit in Judgment upon him. The two
following Paragraphs from the Picayune, may
