from a visit to General Jackson.
The venerable Hero believes that Texas will

the Missouri compromise--but he, knows and so does
Col Benton that any additional concession to the

STILL IN PRISON


BY the arrival at New Orleans of the steamship
Alabama, from Havana, dates TO the 3lst ult. from
Vera Cruz have been received per the British steam.
ship Tay.
Santa Anna still remained prisoner at the Castle
of Peroie-the same cold, dreary, and dismal place
in which he so long held the unfortunate Texans in
captivity. II is stated that the Grand Jury appointed
TO try the fallen tyrant furious against him while
the present Executive of Mexico manifested feel.
ing of cemeDcy and at the same time of regret that
he did not escape out Of The country and thus save
the government further trouble. A letter dated We
IA Cruz January 31s, expresses the belief that the
life of the tyrant would not be taken. His Young
wife was in prison with him, also an old friend
of his, Senior Lazaro Vllaml. -
Among the passengers by the Tay was Senior An.
tonic Haro, Santa Annals former Minister of Finance
who had made out to reach the coast in safety from
Mexico. One of the editors of this paper, who came
passenger.in the Alabama, was informed at Havana
that Senior H. had escaped through the assistance OF
the English Consul at Vera Cruz and that he came
on board the Tay under assumed name. Reion
was still at large and his whereabouts not known.
Santa Anna has sent, from Perote, a new commu
nicaton TO the Chambers requesting that the pass
port for which he had already asked might be gra
him. in which case he would Danish himself perpetu-
ally from the country. He also stated that ne would
appoint an agent fully empowered and qualified IN
respond to any charges or claims made against him.
leaving his landed estates and property as guaranty
for the satisfaction OF and moreover speaks of the
responsibility of his ministers. This communicated
the Grand Jury we're acting upon in secret session on
the night If the 23i ult and the result of their deli
beratoDs was not known.
