taken with the other rumors Of which ih
age is prolific: 4a
4 Our intelligent Havana correspondent
IN one of his recent, letters, mentions tht
prevalence Of divers rumors in tina, city
and singles out tie following as worth, o
a place in print. He says the story is
that Isabella the Second Of Spain, the girl
ish queen whose eccentriciiies have been
ifrequeGtly noticed in the papers, is 10 rar.
ry prince of the house of SAKE Coburg
while her sister, the Infanto, is 10 be gives
10 the Duke Of Montpensier. one OF Louis
Philippe's sons A French feet ard ar
my, in conjunction with what force-lanc
and sea-that Spain can rinse, backed by
an English fleet to see that nothing wrong
is done, will escort the latter couple to A.
merica, and place them, nolens volens, on
the throne of Mexico. In The meantime,
continues our correspondent, the Baron
de Cyprey is to wait al Havana the march
of events, while three French frlgates are
stationed there perhaps to place him in
triumph once more at the head of the corps
diploma,ique ia Mexico. M
Our correspondent further states, that
Santa Anna is, all this while, a '.1uiel
| looker-on" in Havana, patiently waiting
the time when Almote shall have thrust
out Herrera, and burnt old Cat's-paw Pa
redes fingers so badly that he will let Fl re
alone, then to slip in for his country's good
put down all patriotism, and quietly gnaw
away at the meat of the nut for another few
years. The health Of the .yrant is good,
bul he seldom comes into Havana from his
country residence except whent the steam
err from Vera Cruz is in the oifing, hen
he comes in and waits with all a despoi's
Impotence at the British Consul's for his
desoatches, which. it is said, are neither
few nor small in bulk.
We have all along been of the opinion
that there would be some turn in the al,-
fairs Of Mexico which mi ght place Santa
Anna once more at the head, al least of an
army, and our letters from Havana go far
to strengthen us in this belief. He has
too many opponents, however, particularly
in the North aud West of Mexico, TO give
him length Of power and sway, even if he
once more succeeds in reganing the gov
eminent. Paredes is 10 extent pow
erful, and If we are not greatly mistaken
will fight TO the last before he allows San
ia Anna again TO get the upper hand of
him.
In regard to the runoor about Monfpen~
sier and the Mexican throne, it has come
to our knowledge that letters Of an official
character have been re, eived in this city
which more than hint that some such
that Great Britain would aid in raising one
Of Louis Phillippe's sons to an American
throne for nothing and hence it has been
inferred that she is to receive Cuba as
her portion of the spois, 1t is minated,
also, that the joint efforts of England and
France. to prevent The annexation Of Tex
as 10 the United States, were made after
much delberation and upon an understand
ing between those powersihat the acquisi-
ton ofterri,ory by the United States was
to cease with the absorption of Texas into
The Union. The events of the day are not
of q nature TO dissipate these rumors as
idle on dts. The marriage Of aprince of
France with the infan a, and his establish
ment upon throne in Mexico, seems a
ready way 10 prevent The alienation OF
California from Mexican sovereignty and
implica,e the Orleans dynasty in the sta
biltv of the new power, whilst the acqui-
s.ton of throne for the lnianta is COM
pensa,ion for the loss Of Cuba TO the Span
ish monarchy. These rumors. in ordina-
nv times. would scarcely attract much at
ten,ion; but as il seems TO be certain that
some movement OF decisive character is
in contemplation in Europe, in regard to
the future destiny of America, they arrest
inquiry and awaken suspicion at once
We app:ehend that the coming year will be
a memorable one Tor good OF evil to the
| liberties OF this continent. sfes..4
