fused TO do, but gave the alarm and he was
taken prisoner.
When he was captured he had taken of
his cork,leg on account of the inflammation
produced by walking upon it, and was car
ried by his servants.
On The Goth of January he was put in the
prison at Perote, where he now is.
Col. Boardman met Parades on the road
between Mexico and Puebla, marching at
the head of the Government forces, to give
Santa Ana battle; but the fortunes of the
despot became so desperate that he desert
ed the army and was captured before Paredcs
came up to him.
Owing TO the lateness ofthe night we have
not been able to read our files, which are

ticulars of his movements since the last
dates.
From the Bulletin.
In letter from the captive ex-Presdent
TO the Governor of the Department of Vera
Cruz, dated Jalapa, 18th ult., he complains
most bitterly of his treatment by his guards
and the populace. He says his habitalion
presents the appearance of Il guardroom,
with a sentinel constantly by his bed-he
cannot sleep--the officials will permit none
of his friends to have any intercourse will
him,--and in fact, his condition is vastly
more rude and degrading than whilst he re-
NAMED prisoner in the hands of the Tex
ans. His entry into Jalapa resembled tri-
umphal procession, conducting him as a con-
quered foe 10 his country "Indeed," be
continues, " would prefer death TO such in
sults-whch are neither noble nor decent"
Sonora Santa Ana paid her husband Vi
sit in camp, accompanied by her brother a
few days before his fight. She alone is faith
full to the tyrant.
Gen. Arsta, the instrument Of Santa Ana
in the murders at Tobasco, has published a
manifesto against his fallen leader, and de-
clares that, although they now all unite
against him, they mi st not lose sight of Tex
as.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO
SANTA ANA CAPTURED!-The schooner Wa,
ter Witch arrived last ight from Vera Cruz,
which place she left on the 26,h ult.
Col. VIM Boardman came passenger in
her, with despltches from Mr.. Shannon to
the U. s. Government.
BY this arrival, we are in possession Of the
facts of Santa Ana's capture. Since our
last advices, he had made several attempts
upon the city of'Pueba; attacking it at the
head of four thousand troops, one half of
which were cavalry. In these endeavors he
was rcpulsed with considerable loss.
Soon afterwards he left the army, about
four leagues below Puebla, with an escort of
several hundred men and proceeded towards
Jalapa. Before arriving at that city he part
ed with his escort, and attempted to make
his escape TO the mountains OH foot, and in
the disguise Of a friar.
On the 18th of January he was discovered
in baranca (ravine, near little Indian vii

cided by the Convention, are merely
questions Of expediency, s. not of prin-
cpie' they may probably succeed in
getting majority of their own political
brethren into tina, body: otherwise their
chances will be bad, as a majority of the
district are most decidedly democratic.
But let us test their professions by their
acts-Let Us see ifthey are willing TO
vote for democrats in these districts in
which they have a decided majority
Nc, we viii find them preparing to e.
lect Wings in every district in which
they think tina; they havea chance for
success. And if a majority of the dis
tricts were wing, we would certainly
never get q majority of democrats into
that Convention; for we should hear a
very different song set to music by the
wing press. But the secondary object
hiHted al by the Era; and since, boldly
proclaimed by the wings cf Lincoln, is
TO produce the impression, that the NEE
ling was gotten up for the especial ben
eft ofMr. Monkey; aye, that it was Ia
city agreed upon ~ the leaders ofthe
party, that the vote Ct the delegation
should be cast for that gentleman. Now
so far from that being the fact, it wal
generally understood among hi, friends
at tho time of III. meeting, that he could
not be prevailed upon 10 accep, a nom
nation. In consequence of tina, under
standing, he took the chair BY the unan-
imous consent Of the party and the
Powes was sisin hsa to nominate the
delegates for the Flint Hill Convention;
Now II the other aspirauts for the nom.
~ination had suspected fora moment that
he wished Il nomination, would they
have silently consented that he should
nominate the delegates TO decide be-
tween ,hemp No, for by giving him
the power to elect the delegates TO
choose between them, they in eficc,
gave him the power to nominate himself.
Who would call such a farcea nomina-
,ionT Ii might suit the purposes of the
wings; but it would be all insul, to the
honest democracy of the county. The
democrats OF Lincoln, have too high an
opinion Of Mr.. Moxley, to bslisve for a
moment that he could be guilty of such
an indelicacy, as 10 accept a nomination
at the hands of the delegates named by
himself. If he had intended o place his
name before the Flint Hill convention,
every one who is acquainted with the
man, must know that he would have
declined nominating the delegates to
tina, convention. Now we will say that
he democrats intend to manage their
own concerns, in their own way; and
that though they hold the talents, and the
services Of Mr.. Monkey in the highest
estimation, they hope to find some other
democrat who can lead OH their united
forces, to victory in the approaching con-
test.
