LATEST FROM VERA CRUZ.

The brig Naade arrived a, Charleston on
Saturday from Vera Cruz, having lett there on
The 9Th OF January, and has communicated the
following intelligence TO the Charleston Patriot.
II will be seen that Santa Anna was still in
the field though his doom appeared 10 be incvila-
bic:
"We learn from Capt. PETERSON, of,he brig
Naade, from Vera Cruz, that Santa Anna had
attacked al the head Of 1000 men, 800 Of which
were cavalry, the town Of Puebla-but he was
drived back by the revolutionsts. Santa Anna,
il is said wonld endeayor TO make his escape
either by The way OF Vera Cruz or Tuspan. The
day previous to the sailing OF The Naiade, about
$50 volunteers arrived from Alrardo and 800
were expected from Campeachy in the steamer
Mon,ezuma which with those already in Vera
Cruz would present a formidable front against
any force the Dictator might march against that
city The revolulionists were in hot pursuit Of
Santa Anna, and certain death awaited him
should he fall into their hands. A National
Guard, similar to the French national Guard
had been established by the revolutonisls
throughout Mexico, and all Foreign citizens
we're called upon to defend themselves. Notwilh
standing the revolution was spreading with IA
pidity throughout the republic, Santa Anna wa.
still surrounded with a number OF Influential
friends"

We recprocate the good feelings and re-
specrs OF our friend O'Sullivan, OF the New York
Morning News. We will not now handy argu-
men,s with il upon The best means Of acquiring
Texas Blu, we can assure him, that he is going
more strongly against the measure than he is
aware of, BY claiming 4 Compromise, which
cannot succeed. Texas has decided enemies, or
doubtful friends enough TO induce every friend OF
the cause TO encourage no opposition upon i'm
practicable Terms. Would it not, therefore, be-
come him, as a wise statesman TO refrain from
throwing any more Stumbling blocks in the way?
We are most happy, therefore, after all the scru-
Piles which he expresses, 10 find him concluding
in the following decided and philosophical strain:
"And in making the concession which we do,
(namciv, tidf Of p1Ssng The measure as IL stands II
nee cannot snrccci ~ amounting H,) we are BY no
means quite certain on which side we are of the
dividing line where that forbearance ceases 10 be
4 virtue Nor should any ohcr indncement have
led us into that concession -afler all the crcum-
stances Of the history of the annexation ques-
ton-than the fear Of the irreparable evil threat
ening The main measure itself from the intercr
ence of England"
The Morning News may rest satisfied, that ifit
does not pass as it is, il will scarcely pass at ALL
during the present session, and then the storm is
up. We hail with nnaoyed pleasure the senti-
menis with which he opens his last article, as fol-
lows:
"The Courier and Enquirer speaks, doubtless,
from the assurances Of some OF its political
friends in the Senate. Ours, on the other hand
from the other side of the House, are of dille-
rent tenor, and such as 10 create a strong conf
dence that the measure nW pass the Senate. =
The constitutional objection aivertcd TO is alb
surd. What language can be palmer, than The
authority &c Congress TO admit new States not
only without restriction TO States formed out
Of territory already belonging 10 the U. States
but after such restriction, as proposed III The
Convention, had bee, expressly stricken QUIZ
Constitutional scruples in the teeth Of such cX-
press and positive authority as this, are certainly
amusing enough on tie lips Of a party which
can find abundant justification in the Consti-
tuition for National Bank, alter The power 10
establish corporations was expressly refused BY
the Convention for fear that il might some day
be used to establish Bank. We expect an al
verse report from the Senate Committee on Fo
reign Relations, but their opposition rested on
the Constitutional ground, cannot stand before
the fire Of debate, which will pour upon it from
such friends OF annexation as Walker, Renton,
Buchanan and others The other forms Of an
nexalion proposed at an earlier day, were indeed
nnsustained by the Constitution; and we are glad
10 see The ground from the outset taken BY tins
paper, justified as it has been BY the general con-
currence of.he Democracy in The House OF Re,
personalities Against the present form no valid
or rational objection Of that character can Dc
pretended"
