sir:--sicre writing you on 9Th, inwhch des-
cribed the rjcicings here on account of Santa Anna
having put down the Congress- we have had alolal
change in the appearance Of things Only three days
after The guns had been fred nhonor of the above dis
graceful proceeding news arrived that Mexico, and
nearly all the country had pronouncedCagsinst Santa
Anna. This information was received at Vera Cruz
when morher was blowing, consequently there was
no communication with the castle of ST. Jual d Ulloa
and when the rejoicings commenced for the downfall
ofihe Great Chief which consisted Of fireworks and
in reng salues from the forts The castle understood
this totbe rer declaration in favor Of Santa Anna
and they Immediately proceeded to elect him Sapreme
Dictator; but guess their astonishment when the storm
cleared away and they found the great man no longer
existed in themnds Of the good people of Vera Cruz
Well, whatdoyou suppose theyddl Why, immediate
y afer receiving the intelligence they pronounced a
gainst The very man for whom but day before they
had voted the Dictatorship Beautiful consistency
certainly The feeling against Santa Anna is univer
sal, and think it would be difficult to find person
who would speak in favor Of him His portrait which
was once 50 much respected has been hlewn from the
balcony Of the palace and the mob tore it Immediately
into pieces The individual who threw it exclaimed
at the same me here goes the son Of a w Even
the famous leg, once belonging to Santa Anna, and
which was buried in the city Of Mexico with so much
pomp, has again been restored to the atmosphere and
nsulted in every way imaginable His bust, which
had conspicuous place in the new and beautiful
Theatre Of Santa Anna lei Teatio de Santa Anna
was broken into thousand pieces. Another large
statute OF his at Puebla was demolished in rather
curious nnannerfrst they hung him BY the neck then
they cat of his head and afterwards spatn his face
and at last left poor Santa Anna in the hands Of char
liable Mexican mob. am very much surprised that
this once great man shoad have attempted 10 put down
the present feeling against him, by the sword but what
shows his confidence in his fanced power, is in mar
ching 10 'Queretaro' leaving Mexico, Puebia, Vera
Cruz and so many othertowns in his rear-ths he must
nov regret, as they have all unanimously pronounced
against him What will be the end Of this movement,
cannot positively say, although ana inclined to be-
lieve thai he cannot brbe over some Of the other gen
erals and their soldiers that he will endeavor 10 escape
and think, in the event Of his being taken prisoner
that he win most assnedy suffer death. The immense
property ha; he has will cer,ainy be econscated which
il escapes will not affect him much as be must have
considerable funds in Europe. ...e
The character Of Santa Anna both political and NOR
all is black that bis present situation is lost to view
when his crimes are considered. His friend, General
Canalizo, late Vice President is now prisoner in own
palace. Mr.. Tuquenos, formerly Minister Of France
still canno, leave the bounds Of The city, when his trial
comes on he undoubtedly will be very severely punish
3D. as he and his friends have pundered the people to
very great extent and which plumber will have 10 be
restored All the acts of this person forsome time pas
aree be enqured into, and suspect that m a"y nego
ta,ions that be has had with particular merchants
will be declared null and void The house ofMr. Tu-
quenos just now alluded TO- was pulled to the ground
by The mob The late Minister OF War has been SEN
tencedto some fifteen yeare Imprisonment for his par
iiay TO Santa Anna, particularly for creating him the
