Most Excellent Sir--On the eveniog ofths sth

my staff, aad esta6iihhed therein the headquarters
Of the Army Of The OPeratious, destined to &c.
pei the unjust invasion nsae upon the Republic

To the Secretary Of War.di .vqag9-sgsW rlf
One Of the first acts Of the willy generalissimc
was to supply himself with funds. This he did
very efTectually, by seizicg upon eonducfa ol
specie. thereby getting hold Of two millions Of
forward this large amount of money to the sea
coast in the present state OF Affairs. He gave
receipt for the money and his individual bonds
for its restoration. It must be confessed that
this mode Of supplying his Golfers is infinitely
more expeditions than advertising for loan, and
more acceptable to the people at large than a
forced loan from the clergy. a'HHid
The accounts we give Of this great financial
stroke we do not derive from Mexican papers,
but we have entire faith in the facts. We trust
they will be satisfactory to English merchants,
and be accepted as an earnest Of the security of
the money they loaned Mexico on the mortgage
Of the CALIFORNIA;. We fad Santa Annals letter
Of the 10th nit. in the latest psper before us.
We regret to say that the papers give Ne no clue
TO his plan Of operations.
But while Santa Aana was on his way to San
Luis he wrote back from Queretaro, on the ID
Of October, ~ follows: "Ths disaster which
we encountered at Monterey is not 50 great Al
I at first thought Our troops have left for Sal.
tilo, and have already occupied the principal
points Of the Sierra. So far from the troops ha.
wing become demoralized, I am assured that
great enthusiasm prevails among them. TheiI
success has cost the enemy, according to incon
t"stible evidence, more than hfteen hundred men
Our artillery was well managed. and il is sale
that the enemy believe it was served BY French
officers.
~ am now about to unfold all my character
with the energy which 10 habitual to me, and th'
Americans will very soon suceumb, or shall
cease to exist" Upon copying this efusion o
Santa Anna, the Diaro breaks forth "May hea
ven crown with the most brilliant results tn
patriotism Of the ilustrious child Of his eountry
whom We ardently desire to see return to tn
capital covered with glory"
We now for the first tune learn what fruit
the Mexicans derived from the seizure Of ou
