Correspondence Of the N. q. Pscavu,,e.
HAVANA, JAN. ae, 1916.
DEAR PIc-I have just time, per
Hope Howes, to drop you afew lines.
L learn from an unimpeachabe source
that Santa Anna is making preparations
to return to Mexico. He anticipates
leaving here on the 9th or 10th of next
month in the British for steamer Vera
Cruz. This will, however, depend
much upon his advices to arrive per
steamer on the 9th; but that he returns
there, and that very shortly too, YOU
may rely upon. There are other on dits
about him that give for what they are
worth. 1t is said that he is much exas-
perated at The design of few traitors to
sell the country to foreign powers, after
the wasting Of SO much blood and trea-
sure to achieve independence. His re-
turn to Mexico will be marked by an
entire change in his policy. The Uni
ted States, ifher Minister is Of the right
stamp, will become his .)sdus Achates
for money he will adjust the Texan
boundary and cede California, defending
himself to his countrymen upon the plea
that this was the only method left to pre-
serve the integrity ofthe Republic, 70 le-
sist the insidious attacks of Foreig gn Ca
binets upon her liberties,to preserve them
from return to the Spanish yoke which
they SO nobly threw off, and to retain
their position among the nations of the
earth as an independent power.
Paredes must either side with the 70.
reign powers or with Santa Ana. Ifhc
choose the latter. nothing can prevent
the tyrant from taking the reins-ii the
former, nothing can resist the grito that
Santa Ana will raise for liberty. No
one that is we'll informed on the subject
believes that the people Of Mexico will
be content that their country share the
. fate of Greece.
Every day we believe to e big with
events in this distracted country. preg-
nant with interest TO the United States
Yours truly, ARIEL.
FROM PENsacoLA.-7HeL Late Mcz;,
can News.-We yesterday received two
letters from Pensacola, from our atlcn-
tive correspondents at that place, dated
on the lst inst, which would 90 to con-
firm the reported revolution by Arista
One of the letters has it, that Arista has
aregular force of 1000 men at his COM
mand, which would probably be increa-
sed by volunteers, if he had any change
of success.
The United States brig Porpoise sal
led from Pensacola for Vera Cruz, on
the morning Of the ist inst, with de-
spatchcs for Mr.. S!idelI. All accounts
would have it, that, that gentleman was
quietly waiting at Jalap,, the result Of
the different movements in Mexico.
Our correspondent. Marinous" says
"No mention is made Of his having
demanded his passports, or otherwise
deported himself so as TO compromise
the suariter IN modo, for which he is Gel
ebrated, with the tortiter In re which
can, at any time, be resorted to when
every thing else has failed"
All the vessels Of war at Pensacola
are said to be preparing, and will soon
be off to sea.
One of our letters says that Arista is
represented to be more hostile than any
Mexican officer against the United
States, and that he is determined to at
tempt the re-subjugation of Texas
Arista knows too much for this. He
may make noise about it, and pretend
to have some such object in view, but he
is not so Quixotic rs to put his foot this
side the Rio Grande.
from our regular files of papers, it
would seem that it was known in the
city of Mexico, as early as the 9th of
January, that Gen. Arista had declared
against Paredes. He was in conse-
quence removed from the command of
the army Of the North, and ordered 10
devolve it upon Gen. D. Romuio Diaz
de la Vega, until the arrival of success
sor. The papers speak as if Gen. Am
pudia were likely to be his successor
the inhuman wretch who maltreated the
remains Of Gen. Sentmanat, and whose
broken faith to the unfortunate Mier pri-
soners is on record.-Pieayunc.
