and with whom he exchanged salutations. BY
Gen. Almonte the lieutenant was conducted 70
Gen. Santa Anna, who was lyingin bis birth
Iquite i'll. Then short interview took place, and
when the Acknowledgements on deck, he gdue
the o,onerS permission 10 pass the blockade.
An account received by commercial house
represented that the suite Of Santa Anna evnced
much emotion and even alarm when boarded, but
that the General himself was perfectly calm, and
apparently expected the visit II is further added
that the General delivered letter to the officer
who boarded the boat which produced at once
the desired effect. .... ,,.t
Recurring again to Mr.. O'Neis communica.
ton 70 us-and here we beg to acknowledge his
extreme courtesy-we learn that when Santa
Anna landed, he ,Das received but By few
fri6nds--that the reception was not public one,
and that il was not marked by much enthusiasm.
Santa Anna himself was evidently disappointed
by the reception given to him. His health con-
tinued nfrm up to the time Of the departure Of
the Arab. He was able, however, after his arri.
val, 10 entertain at public dinner at the palace
in Vera Cruz large number of civil dgnitaries
and military officers. At the dinner moro
favorable disposition was manifested towards the
General, and there was some appearance Of
enthusiasm. Subsequently, on his way 10 the cap.
itol he stopped at his hacienda, El Ecerro, in the
vicinity Of Jalapa where he remained up to the
latest accounts received from him. He would
leave there for the city Of Mexico at the very
earliest moment his health would permit.
Thot his presence in the field may be urgently
required is manifest from another important fact
which we learn by this arrival. The army
stationed at San Luis Potos has declared again
in fauor of Parades! Parades, by the way, is
Prisoner in the Castle OF Perote as was rumored
when the Daring left Vera Cruz. Tho declar.
alton Of the army at San Luis in favor of Parades
was generally believed in the city OF Mexico
when Mr.. O'Neil left there, and we learn by
commercial letter from Vera Cruz that il was
also fully credited there. ~
Mr.. O'Neil represents that il is extremely
difficult 10 arrive at any conclusion as to the state
OF popular feeling in regard 10 the different aspi-
rants for power in Mexico. Among commercial
men, and in fact among all classes no: imme.
diaeIy connected with the military, the utmost
apathy and Indifference appear to reign.
The day the Arab left, flag Of truce was sent
ashore by Commodore Conner, and the same
} occurrence had taken place on two or three occa.
sons previously. We have, Of course, no clue
10 the nature Of the communications interchanged,
but as the Daring arrived from the mouth Of the
river The day prior to the Arabs departure, it was
conjocturcd that the Commodore might have recei.
we'd by her, communications which controlled his
conduct
Santa Anna has appointed the chief officers Of
the cabinet. The only appointments our infor.
mant remembers are, those Of Almonte, as Min.
lister Of War and Marine, Gomez Faras as Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs, and Rejon, Minister OF
The Interior. Herra, who was one Of Santa
Annals companions from Havana, it was under.
Stood, would be or was Minister Of Finance.

to another, until the whole, embracing sub
