MEXICO SANTA ANSA--ln the present
critical state of our relations with Mexico
every moment efIeciing her attitude or policy
ia imDortant. In the Baltimore Patriot oil
Saturday afternoon we find tie following;
"SASrAANxAroR MExIco.-Capt. Beard
Of the schr GaIena, who arrived here yesler-
day in seven DAYS from HaTana, states that
General Santa Anna had received orders Tor
hi, immediate return TO Mexico. letter oil
the slh, received at Washington, makes no
mention of the above but as Captain Beard
left Havana on the 9th, his adviccs are day
lster.
The Philadelphia United States Gazette Of
This morning has papers from Havana 10 ihe
10Th, which are silent on the subject 90 we III
fer it is mistake"
We might concur 10 this inference but for
the fact that in the Charleston Courier oil the
1tj h inst. we find letter ust received by that
paper from Havanah, also bearing date April
sih, which says:
The Mexican steamer arrived here last
evening, bringing advices that hr Slldell had
received his passports and left the country
General Almonte came passenger IN the
steamer, and Immediately on landing went 10
Santa Anna, with whom he was closeted Tor
several hours. | understand they are on the
eve of another revolution in Mexico in favor Of
Santa Anna, and that he will leave for Vera
Cruz in the steamer of This evening. Nows
hal been received at Vera Cruz OF the ad-
vance of General Taylor'G army to the Rio
Crande, anu it was generally expected that
they would be attacked by the Mexican army
Seven American vessels of war were lying al

Putting these two items together, we car
hardIey doubt that Santa Anna has been re-
called to Mexico, either 20 take part in some
meiilared revolution, or, what is more proba
bIe 10 lead her armies in the anticipated wal
with this country. Onr adyices from thu

ROBBERY.

The first robbery TO our knowledge which
ever occurred in the County of Addison, was
perpetrated in the afternoon of Tuesday last.
A boy about l5, accompanied by his sister
oil about 90, in ascending the mountain
from Hancock to RiptOn, in about the-centre
O' the woods were suddenly accosted bya
man VINO rushed upon them from the thicket
with his face painted red and disguised in
sort Of wrapper Of the same color: who.
pistol in hand, demanded their money. The
boy delivered up his wallet, containing six
dollars, TO the robber, who Instantly disap-
peared. Frightened and deprived of their
money, our young travellers concluded to
return to Rochester. But before getting
down the mountain, they were met BY Mr..
Flint of Hancock, who With anothe, man.
pursuaded them TO continue on their journ-
ey under their protection. The people
OF RiPton were Of course put upon thslwatch.
About dark two men issued from the woods
into the clearing on the top Of the mountain
They were followed by the sturdy Green
Mountaineers to Smiths in Ripton, whore
they were arrested, and searched, and found
equipped to the teeth fer the purposes of
robbery and murder. Beside the rod paint
and robe TO which we have already alluded.
they had about them two dirks and four pis-
tolls, one of which was double barreled all in
prime order and heavily loaded. The avails
Of their robbery, werefouud concealed in tho
stocking Of one OF the prisoners, and need
ful supply Of provisions in their knapsack.
The next day they were tried before George
Chapman, Esq. The evidence against them
was rendered perfectly conclusive by the con-
LESSONS Of the offenders themselves. Thew
are now confined in the old rickety Jail in
Middebury, and from the persevering and
constant vigilance Of the Sheriff, Church,
some hopes are entertained that they may
be kept for trial at the next session Of the
Court in June. Both OF the prisoners are
very evidently but recently from tie Ocean
One is judged to Oe all American about IS
years of age, and the other foreigner OF IS,
speaking several languages, OF a determined
character and savage appearance. The
young man calls himself Thomas Rice, the
| other John Eastwood.

INDIA.

DEFEAT OF THE SIKH ARMY. Loss OF
GEN. DICK & OTHER oFFIcERs.-By the
bimonhly express from Bombay, and also
the arrival of the Overland Mail from India,
VIC have the particulars of two severe battles
fought on the 2Sth OF January and the 10Th
of February, between the British and the
Skins. The former battle was fought at the
village OF Ullerwal Tor Aliwal) on the 26lh
Of JAN, between Sir. Harry Smiths division.
consisting of 1900 men and 30 guns, and
the Sikh force, under Sirdar Runjoor Singh.
mastering $4,000 strong. and supported by
park Of artillery of 68 guns. 1t was most
obstinately contested, and ended in the COM
plete routing of the Sikhs, who are stated TO
have lost between five and six thousand men,
numbers having been drowned in recrossing
the SuileJ. The number of guns captured
was sixty-6ve. The British loss is estimated
at absut 600 in killed and wounded, including
seventeen officers -four Of whom are amongst
the killed. Previous TO the battle of Uller-
wal,a smart action took place near Dhurrum-
kote on the 2lst of January, between Sir Har-
ry Smiths division and strong body of
SIkhS. who endeavored 10 cut off the commu-
uicalion between Dhurrunkote and Loodian-
alb. In this action. the loss Of the British
was about 200 killed and wounded.
ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE.-The Overland
Mail arrived in London on the 3Oth uli.,
bringing the particulars Of another severe bat
lie.
On the 10ih Of February the English army.
commanded by Sir Hugh Cough and the
Governor General, attacked The Sikhs at Sc
bras, and carried their position, after four
hours Of obstinate fighting. The Sikhs lost
10000 men and 65 pieces of artillery. The
English had 300 men killed, 13 Of whom
we're officers, and $500 wounded, of whom
lOl were officers. Her Majesiy's SO and 62d
regiments suffered enormously; General
Dick and Brisadier Taylor are among the
dead. This vi,tory was followed, it is said,
by an agreement, according TO which the
Sikhs have engaged to pay four annual in
stalmcnts to the Company, for the expenses
Of the war, 800, 00Ol sterling, the payment
to be guaranteed by tho military occu patton
of their country.

The two Oregon measures-the bill extern

amended resolutions-were sent to the Sen

one and the appearance of the other, made
them anything but welcome visiters to those

who wish that wise conclusions should char
acterize their actions.
The question was disposed Of soon after
the reading of the journal this morning, by a
