@
His Exccllency Don Antonio de Haro OF Ia
.mariz and Don Jose Maria Mendoza yesterday
took departure for the capital of Mexico. On
the same night they were followed by Gen. Don
Pedro Cortazar. These three officers are des-
patched 10 treat with the Supreme Government
for the settlement of all difficulties now existing
in the Republic, and for the prevention Of fur
Ither bloodshed.
], therefore, order all the forces that cover the
lines around this city, and now under my com
mand, to suspend all acts of hostilities: to aban-
don the positions they now occupy, and TO retire
to the town of Anzoc, there to await the result
of the negotiations of those officers.
In view of this commission, | doubt not that
seconding the philanthropy with which am ami
mated, you will order the forces under your
command 10 suspend, on their part, all hostilities,
and avoid the ~effusion of blood, which should be
carefully preserved, TO be shed only when neces-
sary, and against a foreign foe.

ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
To Gen. Don Egnaco De Ynctan.
1t may be that this is only a ruse on the part
of Santa Anna 10 gain time, in order to strike a
more decisive blow. He is TOO shrewd a tacti-
Clan not TO see "a check mate in a brief delay.
1t is very evident, however, that thus far he has
had The worst of the fight and has been driven
into diplomacy.
The Mexican steamer, Montezuma, arrived at
Vera Cruz with troops from Campeachey, as the
Roman came out. These troops were to OPP
pose Santa Anna, and Protect Vera Cruz.
l. Vera Cruz, Jan. Is, lS45.--General Santa
Anna after having made five different attacks on
the city Of Puebla, and being repulscd in each
attack with some considerable loss, has been
obliged to decamp, with all his troops, (some
1000 men,) and according 10 the latest news
from Jalapa, is on his way to this city, but must
first pass a defle about Is miles from Jalapa,
which is well fortified, and commanded Nv Gen.
Jose Rincon in person. If Santa Anna should
be successful here, he will again meet with OBJ
~stacles from the troops stationed in Perote Ma
tionals, after passing which place there will be
nothing TO prevent his coming within three miles
of this city. Here the Notifications, although
not complete, are sufficiently well attended to
prevent his taking the city; but, possibly, he
may be able TO effect his escape on board ali En-
glish frigate, stationed at Sacrafracois, with Or
ders, as report says, to receive him and protect
his person.
Should he, however, determine 10 besiege the
place, Generals Bravo and Parades, who left Pu-
ebla, on the 10th instant, with 10000 good SOL
diers, between cavalry and infantry, will soon be
on his rear, and his fate must be determined
and if taken prisoner, as he is immensely rich,
having, as is positively known, more than twelve
millions Of dollars in England, it is more than
probable that, by using this money in Il good
way, he will save his own and the lives of his
officers; although, by his more than brutal con-
duct in Puebla, he has forfeited all claims to the
indulgence of either Mexicans or foreigners.
The officers commanding the city are Gene
rails Nora and Honandes; the castle is under the
command of General Juan Soto, a most ster-
ling man, and an inyeterate enemy of Santa
Anna.
Vera Cruz Jan. Ia, 1S45.---In the course of
the night, we learn by an express from Jalapa,
that Santa Anna has commenced b~esieging Pc
rote, and that neither Bravo nor Paroles had left
Puebla on the 18th instant, and even among
the most sangnine friends of the movement
against Santa Anna, it is believed that there is an
intrigue going on to save him and his officers,
which will be the forerunner of a fresh outbreak
