Dates from Vera Cruz have been received at N.
York to the Cd inst. The American squadron of
four vessels wa. still at Vera Cruz The U. S.

"The influence of Signor Almonte, the former
private Secretary of Santa Ana, and late Minis

favor ofthe fallen President The next arrival
may bring us acc cunts of Santa Ana's peaceable
restoration TO power In the meantime the
acting Government has sent to Texas an ultima
tum, offering independence guaranteed by France
and England, provided Texas rejects annexation,
which offer, being de facto recognition ofinde-
pcndence, will be rejected; and the present Co.
vcrnment of Mexico becoming unpopular at
home, add cates in favor of Santa Ana; Texas
then comes into the Union, and we pay a few
hundred thousand to Santa Ana, to heal the
wound inflicted upon Mexican honor by the
course OF the provisional administration. Such
appears to be the probable course of events and
the restoration of Santa Ana though acceptable
to Eng land and France may prove advantageous
TO all parties.
