q to defy successful contradiction. that every
proposition stated by tbs Nes York Herald ms
having been made to our government, was ac-
tuaOy advanced. We have reason TO believe that
he received encouragement, was treated with the
greatest courtesy, admitted to the private circle of
the White House, and thad frequent interviews
with Messrs. Walker, Marcy, and Buchanan
that our government favored the views of this
messenger, expressed an anxious desire TO see
santa Anna restored TO power in Mexico, and
promised to do all that could consistently be done
10 bring about so desirable an event The mes
senger left the city about ten weeks sgo-we have
not the exact data-proceeded Immediately to
Havana, and communicated the facts to Santa
Anna, who caused publication to be.made in a
paper printed in Vera Cruz, which, in due time,
produced revolution of public feeling in his
behalf and resulted in his departure for that
city
Meanwhile, our government, having become
positively convinced that advantages would
accrue to this country by the restoration OF Santa
Anna, took immediate measures TO produce a
favorable impI esson TO that effect among the
representatives OF other nations in the city Of
patches to Commodore Conner. He was, how
ever detained, in consequence of the vessel on
which he had taken passage not having pro.
ceeded directly, but ordered back by Captain
Fatio, who had command of it, in apprehension
oil gale OF wind. The messenger was landed,
to make the best progress he could and he wss
thereby prevented from delivering the important
dispatches, which, If they had reached CosAmo-
dore Connor al tAs lima intended, would UNI
donbtedly. bsfoIs this. have facilitated aud CON
soidated Santa Anns's power
As proof how much our Government was ex-
asperatsd at the delay, Capt. Fatio, who COM
mandsS the revenue cutter, was, it is said inn
mediately dismissed from the service, and another
messenger despatched through different chan
mel
20 much for the veracy of the official organ!
During the sojourn, in Washington, of the gen.
teman first alluded to- it is well known he was in
constant intercourse with Santa Anna and that
every letter written by Santa Anna to him was
submitted to the President and members of the
Cabinet, and their policy dictated according
to the tenor of these letters.
The foregoing IS stated in the confident belief
that mere denial will not serve to dscredit it.
In this connection, it may be well to remark,
that when the intelligence reached this city that
Santa Anna was on the eve Of departure from
SavIna, the USion-not Mr.. Ritchie--ssd,
snouid the event 'lead to a change of govern
ment, which is not improbable, the party coming
into power will likely offer proposals of peace, as
we 1.-THE Gsvemmentl learn from a source de-
serving OF credit that such is the desire of many
ri the most influential men in Mexico Those
VINO effected tho revolution in favor of Santa
Anna were the most influential" To this there
can be no dissent
BY the accounts received yesterday afternoon
from the South, Santa Anna arrived off Vera Cruz
on the 10Th ultimo, and the commander of the
St Mary's, previously instructed by the Commo-
dore, permitted him TO pass.
This was carrying out part of the understand
ing between Santa Anna and our Government
And it must not be forgotten that before Santa
Hnna lefsVera Cruz.tor the city of Mexico, she
rent polite invitation TO our commodore TO meet
him board the English frigate Endymion, -
and zone Of the English frigates' boats came
down in violent rain squall with communica-
non for the commodore. The next day flag of
truce wa. returned but no rumor of the business
has transpired."
On Thursday night at the ST. Charles, dis
puts arose between two young bloods, which re-
suited in a challenge and acceptance. Bladens-
burg, the next day, was the ground of combat
The parties exchanged one shot. Neither got
hurt, but both badly frightened, and were glad
to declare themselves satisfied.
The Hon. S. Brsese, u. S. Senator from Illinois.
arrived in the city yesterday.
The Hon. and Rev. Mr.. Hilliard, a member of
the House of Representatives, preached in the
Wesley Chapel this morning. FELIX.
