SANTA ANA AND HIS DESIGNS, &c.

BY the arrival Of the revenue cutter MeLane
Captain Howard, we have received advices from
Havana to The I'd instant, and have gathered from
the officers OF the cutter some hints to the designs
Of Santa Ana upon Mexico, and other Information
Of interest from che island Of Cuba.
We are glad TO be Informed by Captain Howard
that there s not the least prospect that prvateers
will DO allowed 70 be fued out at Havana to depre-
termination of the Spanish admiral 10 allow no eva
SION OF the treaties between Spain and the United
States; This determination the officers of the Nc
Lane have no doubt he viii religiously adhere to,
and Castilian faith rs proverbial. .,
In regard to the two Mexican steamers living at
Havana, they are still protected by the English
colors which they carry. They have been offered
for sale 10 the authorities Of the island, and the
probability Is that the captain general will purchase
the iron vessel, the Guadalupe. The Montezums is
said to be "hogged,n and Of course not worth much
Neither Of them Will be allowed 10 leave Havana
with the intent to cruise against our commerce.
IL was the general belief in Havana that upon the
arrival Of the English Of the 9th instant for
Vera Cruz, General Santa Ana would leave at once,
with his friends Aimonte and Rejon, for Mexico.
This determination the part Of the ex-president
has been formed upon his receiving assurances that
the Castle OF San Juan de Ulua would upon his ARR
val declare in his favor. General Santa Ana
pressed himself freely in regard TO the with the
United States, and avowed his resolution Of doing
all IN his power to prosecute IL vigorously against
u.s. ms inc only course WHICH no Cdl
pursue under the circumstances in which Mexico 10
placed; for 10 niamed is the luminosity Of the Mex
leans at present against the United States, that
would be fatal for public man directly to attempt
to stem the current From all that can learn of
the tone Of feeling in Mexico, the two great de-
partments of Vera Cruz and Tamaulipas have for
some time been ripe for throwing of the yoke Of
Paredes, and placing Santa Ana again in power.
Intelligent gentlemen here, familiar with the poll
tics Of the country, anticipate confidently that the
next arrival will bring US news that Tamauipas had
already revolted under Gen. Parrodi, who is fast
friend of the ex-president. Our previous advices
from the departments the Pacific, and the latest
extensive is d. disafsction there We Took then
for the downfall Of Paroles at early day: In tha
words of the Courier dcs Etats Unis: alt will not
be Paroles, in our opinion, who will sign a treaty
Of peace with the United States; will be his sue
cessor, whether this successor be Alvarez, Amonts,
or Santa Ana" 49,. .
twas the general opinion in Havana, and cir
cunsances seemed to warrant the supposition, that
Santa Ana would sail for Vera Cruz in the English
brig of war Daring; but Captain Howard doubts if,
under the circumstances the commander Of that ves
sci would assume the responsibility Of taking him
to Mexico. Should he go on the steamer, another
question would arise, whether Commodore Conner
should allow him to land, his purposes being fully
declared Of taking active part in the prosecution
of the war. n.'a "'a.
