at New Orleans on the 9th ult., from Vera
Cruz, whence she sailed on the 22d ult. From
the Bulletin, we learn the capture of Santa
near Jalapa, while he was endeavoring TO
reach the coast in disguise, accompanied by
four Of his officers. That paper says:--
He is confined at present in the same castle
of Perote, from which the Texan prisoners
have not long since been liberated and well
guarded by some 5000 soldiers. IL is proposed
to remove him TO the capital in few days,
where he will have to answer to the country,
and before the Chamber of Deputies, for his
past tyranny and cruelty and doubtless, from
The excited state Of public feeling against him,
he will expiate his conduct by an ignominious
death.
Santa Anna had written to the President,
General Harrera, on the 10th ult., from his
camp near Puebla, soliciting passports for Sen
or Harory Tamariz and Generals Cortzar and
Moudoza, late of his suite. He also bcgs
passports for himself, that he may leave the
country, and as he says, seek abroad home
where | might end my last days. He states
that he has already given up the command Of
his army to General Morales, who would pro-
claim the Constitutional Government.
At day-break on the morning Of the nth
ult., Santa Anna left his camp in COACH taxi
! ing the route for Vera Cruz, escorted by 500
cavalry, but soon changed his course for ORR
Java, intending to leave the Republic from
HuatZacualso, or some other port in Oajaca, as
the road TO Vera Cruz was strongly fortified at
almost every place through which he would
have to pass. Having dismissed his escort, he
proceeded as citizen, until he was arrested by
some Indians, by whom he was recognized,
from his ameness, and delivered up to the mil
itafy authorities.
In letter from the captive ex-President TO
the Governor of the department of Vera Cruz,
dated Jalapa, 18th ult., he complains most Bit
terly Of his treatment by his guards and the
popuace. He says his condition is vastly more
rude and degrading than whilst he remained
prisoner in the hands Of the Texans. His en-
try into Jalapa resembled triumphal process
ion, conducting him as conquered Toe TO his
country. Indeed he continues, Il would pre-
fer death to such insults--which are neither
noble nor decent
II is stated that Santa Anna had S400, 900
in gold at his residence, Ensero, which was TO
have been forwarded TO him, but il has fallen
into the hands of the Government of the de-
partment Of Vera Cruz, who propose 10 employ
it in remuneraiing the inhabitants of that
department for the losses sustained by them
during Santa Annals occupation.
Captain ID. Jose Santa Anna the eldest son
81 the fallen President, was arrested near Jala-
pa, the morning of the 10th.
Sonora Santa Anna had paid her husband a
visit in camp, accompanied by her brother, a
few days before his fight, She alone is faith
full to the tyrant.
General Arista, the instrument OF Santa Anna
in the murders at Tabasco, has published a
manifesto against his fallen leader, and declares
that although they now all unite against him,
they must not lose sight OF Texas.

on the other. He had reached his residence
