 SANTA ANNA POLITICALLY DEAD.
 We are indebted to friend for late New Orleans papers, of the 10th inst. The most important information is that from Mexico, which our readers will find below. The die tator Santa Anna seems to be at last cornered and IS now tpolitically dead," fl indeed he should have escaped with his head. The revolution seems now complete, and is so lar effected with little or no bloodshed. - We congratulate our readers upon the down. fall ot this tyrant, and hope that Mexico, the loyeiest spot on the Globe, may, under the influence of good laws fairly administered, enjoy that domestic peace and happiness to which Il has hitherto been stranger.
 MEXICO.
 By the ship Hermann, which arrived at this Port the night before last, from Vera Cruz, we received files of Mexican papers in time to make extracts of the news they contained for the day before yesterdays pub lcation. The letter from our correspondent did not reach us till yesterday. We make the following synopsis of its highly interes- ting contents:
 Since the last advices from our correspond ent, he informs us that the resolution has been seconded by every State throughout the Republic. On the 22d ut, Santa Anna was encamped about D leagues from the capital, With some 5000 men, while Government troops to the amount of three times that number were marching up and closing in up- on him. Up to the 27th, he had been en- deavoring, at times to threaten, and at times to persuade the Government into mild meas ures towards him; but all in vain. Finally, finding himself unable to obtain anything from the Government but an unconditional surrender, he thought 1t best to fly. On or about that time, he separated himself from the main body of his army, and at the last accounts, had taken position at place called San Martin, between Mexico and Puebla, with body of LOGO cavalry There can be no doubt that his intention is, with his body of horses either to make break for the coast at Tuspan, and thus effect his es- cape; or, to rush on Vera Cruz, and attempt to take 1t by surprise. This latter seems to be the general opinion, and on the 1st inst. several expresses arrived at that place from the seat of Government, advising the Gov ernor to be on his guard. The citizens oi Vera Cruz are, to man, in favor of the revolutionary movement and bear arms ill its defence Great preparations were being made for vigorous resistance, should Santa Anna make his appearance. It is supposed that the Government had despatched troops after him, as they appeared to be early apprised of his movements. Gen. Paredes arrived in the vicinity of Mexico on the 26th ult., with 1000 men, thus making with those the Gov ernment had already in the Capital, 18,000 men, besides the militia, and it is said that he was immediately sent upon the track of the fugitive, with about 1900 of the best caval- " in the country. Santa Anna is politically dead Still we are informed that almost all ill Mexico are desirous that he should not effect his escape from the country-that with his head he should pay for the innumerable evils he has brought upon the nation. The enthusiasm at Mexico, Pueba, Vera Cruz, and all the important cities of the Republic, Is very high, and no where can there be found defender of the ialeu tyrant The reyo- lution is complete. Effected as 1t has been, without the shedding of blood, may be- ginning so suspicious be followed by conse- quences equally gratifying.-JeDersoaian.
