Very LATE FROM MEXICO. We are

information which follows:

Santa Anna was at San Martin de SEES

The city of Mexico had been well for

vent or repeI an assault. The acque>
ducts had been opened and the mole
which surrounds the city filled with wa,

ed citizens prepared to defend it
A decree had been issued by the Mex
lean Congress declaring Santa Anna a
traitor and an outlaw, and authorising
any who may meet with him to take his
life. Measures have had also been ad..
opted to prevent his escape, by guarding
the different seaports and other outlets,

We had the pleasure Of hearing this
celebrated Temperance Lecturer few
nights ago, and indeed it was a perfect
treat. notwithstanding our high expecla-
lions and therefore preparations for his
appeal to the feelings OF his audience, we
cold not resist the gushing Ao@ Of tears
His eloquence is the natural result OF his
own deep feeling. Without the gr1ces Of
art and The accomplishment which educa-
ton gives, Mr. Hawkins, in the most slm~
pie expression of his thoughts, obtains a
perfect mastery over the feelings of his
hearers. Hard, indeed, must be the heart
that can listen to his experience, and his
truthful description Of the drunkard's
wretchedness, and then go away without
signing the pledge.
We trust Mr. Hawkins visit to Cincin'
natl will give new impulse to the Tenn
perance Reformation. Let all our mora
Citizens give their coSntenauce and aid
and we doubt not a great work might be
accomplished in a short time, and a per-
manent advantage 10 our City be Sc
cured.
