-PRIVATEERs-sANT ANNA AND
THE WAR.
We mentioned briefly yesterday that the U.
S. Revenue Cutter McLane, Capt. Howard,
had arrived at New Orleans with advices from
Havana to the Cd inst, and that Santa Anna
and Amonte were about to embark for Vera
Cruz. The Picayune of the 18th inst. has the
following particulars;
We are glad to be informed by Capt. Howard
that there is not the least prospect that priva-
teers will be allowed to be fitted out at Havana
to depredate upon American commerce. 1t is
the firm determination of the Spanish Admiral
TO allow no evasion of the treaties between
Spain and the United States. This determine
ton the officers of the McLane have no doubt
he will religiously adhere to, and Castilian faith
is proverbial.
In regard to the two Mexican steamers lying
at Havana, they are still protected by English
colors which they carry. They have been Of
ieIed for sale to the authorities of the Island,
and the probability is that the Captain General
will purchase the iron vessel, the Guadalupe
The Monezuma is said to be "hogged," and of
course ont worth much. Neither of them will
be allowed to leave Havana with The intent 10

1t was the general beliefin Havana, that up
on the arrival of the English steamer of the 9th
inst. for Vera Cruz, Gen. Santa Anna would
leave at once, with his friends Almonte and
Reion, for Mexico This determination on the
part of the ex-President has been formed upon
his receiving assurances that the Castle of San
Juan de Ulua would, upon his arrival, declare
in his favor. Gen. Santa Anna expressed him
self freely in regard to the war with the United
States, and avowed his resolution of doing all
in his power TO prosecute vigorously against
us. This is in fact the only course which he
can pursue under the circumstances in which
Mexico is placed, for SO inhamed is the ami
mostly OF the Mexicans at present against the
United States, that it would be fatal for pub
lie man directly to attempt to stem the current.
From all that we can learn of the tone of feel
ing in Mexico, the two great Departments of
Vera Cruz and Tamaupas have for some time
been ripe for throwing off the yoke of Paroles,
and placing Santa Anna again in power. In
telligent gentlemen here, familiar with the po-
lltcs the country, anticipate confidently that
the next arrival will bring us news that Ia
pas has already revolted under Gen. Par
rodi, who is fast friend of the ex.President -
Our previous advices from the Departments on
the Pacific, and the latest message of Paroles
himself, have shown us how extensive is the
disahection there. We look, then, for the
downfall of Paredes at an early day. In the
words of the Courier des Etats Unis, at will
not be Paroles, in our opinion, who will sign
a treaty of peace with the United States; il
will be his successor, whether this successor be
Alverez, Amonte, or Santa Anna
1t was the general opinion in Havana, and
circumstances seemed to warrant the SUPPOSE
| ti0O that Santa AM t,,ot,lJ Il e. Uoro C,p
in the English brig of war Daring; but Captain
Howard doubts if, under the circumstances, the
commander Of that vessel would assume the
responsibility of taking him to Mexico. Should
he go on tho steamer, another question would
arise, whether Commodore Conner should al
low him to land, his purposes being fully de-
clared OF taking an active part in the prosecu-
ton of the war.
LATER FROM THE ARMY & TEXAS.
By the steamer Telegraph at New Orleans,
advices from Galveston to the It'll, and from
Brazos to the 5th inst. have been received
The N. o. Bee says:
We are glad to learn that all the river boats,
except the Potomac, which lately left Calves
ton for the Rio Grande, have safely arrived
Without them Gen Taylor would have been
unable to move his army and stores, and with
them he will probably send the supplies up the
river, and put the troops in motion without
loss of time.
The Galveston Nelos, of the 18th, says-"The
latest accounts represent Carrabajal, at San
Fernando, 80 miles above Matamoras, with 200
men and 500 horses; thence he is said to have
passed down to Camargo, overhauling and ex-
amining all he met,and concealing the archives
and public property everywhere. Canales is
said to have had interviews with the Alcaldes
of Reynoso and Camargo, who have agreed
upon declaration of independence. Generals
Torrejon and Juargue are in Monterey, Am
pudia in San Louis Potosi. Meija is with the
remnant of the army, in which sickness pre-
walls, and Arista is at his hacienda, declining
to obey the orders requiring him to 60 to the
city of Mexico"
The practicability of navigating the river
Trinity, in Texas, has been recently proved by
Capt. Tichnor, of the steamer Samuel M. Will
liams, who proceeded up the river to a dis
lance of400 miles from its mouth, Galveston
will become the market of the rich and fertile
region watered by that river.
