York, IN twelve DAYS from the Havana
brings intelligence from Mexico. few
days la.cr, received by steamer from
Vera Cruz. we find translation Of
the paper in the New York Sun. bv
which it seems that Santa Ana has been
superseded in the command ofthe army.
"fhe most important news is that
Congress had ordered the manifestoes
OF the Revolutionary General to be
] printed. The Supreme Government
had issued orders to Gen. Santa Ana.
then at his place at Mango de Claya.
forthwith to unite in his command the
troops in the District of .Ialapa. which
amounted to upwards of 10000 men.
and to proceed against Paroles and his
comrades. Accordingly, as we already
know, Santa Ana issued his proclama-
ton, put himself at the head of 1000
infantry, 1900 cavalry and 30 field pic.
c.s, and on the 23d he left Mexico and
marched towards Quaretaro, with Gcn'l
Reyes, to which point tic troops fol-
lowed him. About this time, the Mex.
lean Congress passed resolution sem
surfing the Minister at War for having
issued orders to Santa Ana 10 take con.
mand Of the .7,my Of the Republic.
when the Constitution prohibited the
Supreme Executive from acting in that
capacity. The reply of the Secretary
not having, been deemed satisfactory,
they decided that General Santa Ana
had been assigned 10 command the
tcoofs Of a district, and was not placed
at Il C head of the army. 1t was there
fore deemed nect ssary that the Minis
t r should 70 thwith suspend the com
mand of Santa Ana. Meanwhile Gen
cral Bassadro has been appointed to
take his place. How Sana Ana will
relish an order which places him under
the command Of a junior officer, r,mains
to b., seen. We should not be sur
prisCd If this course was to drive Santa
Ana back to his farm. The Havana
papers speak in the most Encouraging
maner Of the state Of affairs in Mexico.
The Indians continue TO pour in upon
the Mcxicans from every direction
II is s,id that the American Minister
had made another communication TO
the Government, and the French had
scnt an Agent TO demand explanations
relative to o1tragcs offered her citizens.
Great confusion and disorder prevailed
in every section of that dcyo.cd country.
