The British sloop of war Daring, Cap.

yesterday morning with dispatches from
Mexico and mail from Vera Cruz-aIl
which were forwarded by the mail of yes.

Cruz on the 18th instant, and brings very
important intelligence.
The government Of Paredes has been
entirely overhrown and he himself made
prisoner. The cities of Mexico aud Poe.
bla have both declared for Federation and
Santa Anna.
In regard to the latter we learn that
the Eng ish merchant steamer Arab. ar.
rived off Vera Cruz the morning of the
18th inst. having on board General Santa
Anna and his family, Gen. .Almonte, the
ex- Ministers RECON and Haroy Tamariz.
Sir u. Crescensis Boves, ex. Deputy from
Yucatan to the Mexican Congress, and
severalother individuals. Upon the ap.
pearance ofthe Arab off Vera Cruz Com
Conner repaired ON board the steamer
Princeton, and an attempt was made to
intercept the Arab; but the morning was
calm and she slipped into poit without
hindrance with her valuable freight. O..
Plnions differ as to the intentions of the
Commodore towards Santa Anna. some
believing thai he had no desire TO inter.

On this subject we learn by letters re.

the following effect. Col C. enquired if
the General was in favor of the war with
the United States. To which the Gene.
raj replied. "You know how it is; if the
people ofmy country are for war, then |
am with them; but would prefer peace"
Before leaving Havana, he requested and
received from Col. Campbell a letter of
introduction to Commodore Conner. He
also took with him valuable box ofci.

lairs IN Mexico, from their correspondents
IN that city. From this lettes it appears
that Gen. Salas and portion of the Gar.
rison Of Mexico pronounced on the 4th
inst. IN favor Of the Government OF Santa
Anna. Although Gen. Bravo, the Vice
President made some resistance, he was
compelled to yield early on the morning
OF the 9TH inst. Gen. Salas was invested
with the command until the arrival of San.
ia Anna, supported by Senior Gulnez Fa.
rIas as counsellor. The latter used his
influence with the Ministers of Paredes
to induce them them to continue in the
discharge of their functions.
The letter announcing the above in.

that while the revolution is going on in
Vera Cruz and Mexico, General TayIor
