ments were made with Santa Ana at Have !:
ma, and Paredes and others in Mexico. Al
ter Almonte 'leit' for Mexico, It was deemed
more safe, to communicate with SAINTS Anna
than the parties in Mexico, and a special
messenger was accordingly sent in charge OF
dispatches for the Havana, and paid one,
half of liberal sum for their safe deliver
ance, the other half to be- paid on his re-
turn with replies. This special messenger
