HAVANA, Aug B, 1886
We were all taken obaek here yesterday, with
the news from Vera Cruz. The pronuneiamento by
the troops of the fortress Of that city in favor of
Santa Ana, hourly expected, has taken place. and
Generals Santa Ana, AlmoDte, Rejon, and all those
expatuated for political differences, invited back by
Il TO their natl land. We the tip-toe of an
ticipation for the denouement. The celebrated Mex
lean Chiefs here, Of course all ready 10 TAX
advantage of the movement, to proceed TO Vera Cruz
with all possible speed. There can be no danger,
Vera Cruz being key TO the republic, and the Z r
tress defence against any and every opposition
that may be offered. But there will be no opposi-
ton TO the progress Of Santa Ana after his arrival at
Vera Cruz You will discover Paroles has deter
mined TO "lberate all persons confined for political
offences" This you are to understand 10 neither
more nor less than giving in his adhesion the pro-
| nunciamento Of Guadaaxara, which recalls Santa
Ana. As that pronunciamento cancels all political
offences since 1921 of those Of Parades him
self If he ever committed any, oblteraled by it,
The resolve of Paredes TO CELEBRATE adj persons con-
hned for political Offences indirectly offers the olive
branch to Santa Ana himseg that, taken in con-
nexion with the pronunciamento and Santa AnaS
declaration that he would not consider Paroles his
enemy, payes the way for prompt understanding
between the ex and present president Of Mexico.
They will forget and forgive and unite their forces
for the good of the nation.
General Bravo, president in the absence of Pa
redes, commences, you will perceive, his career in
that capacity, with new ministry, all Of whom are
said 10 be favorable TO settling differences with the
United States. As you were written on a former
occasion, peace, without doubt, has been always
and is now desired by Mexico; but, driven into a
corner by the legislative action and the forces OF
stronger power, peace without honor to the nation
has been hopeless expectation to accomplish.
Now, however, having shown her feeling by bout
with her enemy, it may be more creditsbly assent
ed to, provided liberaty and not oppressive coun-
sells channel the course OF the government at Wash
ington.
The expectation that force Of from 1000 to
$4,000 men will be ready to meet General Taylor at
Monterey arouses much anxiety for the issue: if a
conflict happen, and Paroles is successful his sue
cess will materially affect future operations Of the
two armies, and settlement Of the material difficult
ties. lfGeneral Taylor is successful, he will have
possession OF a strong position, which, IL peace do
not haPpen-and It is strongly fortifed-he will be
only removed from by the cutting off his supplies
via Camargo.
We are under a strong impression here that Pa
| redes will arrive in the neighborhood Of Monterey
too late TO prevent that strong hold being taken pos
session of by General Taylor. Accounts say his
detention in the capital to have his army well
well equipped for the expected struggle. He has
been successful, at least, in that particular The
last brigade, composing the division under the COM
mand of Paredes, left the capital Of Mexico 2Sth
July, 1000 strong and several pieces Of artillery.
The movements Of the armies Of countries in a
state Oh wal are always more or less exciting, The
object Of all war being however, to induce peace,
we are still to learn how peace is to be brought
about, and on what terms il will be established
when concluded. lfSanta Ana and Almonte make
start before this leaves the port in the brig p.
Soue, will note it at foot. We believe Santa Ana
and Almonte are for peace, if it can be negotiated
on honorable terms The idea OF those gentlemen,
then, coincide with that assumed to be the notion Of
the new ministry recently appointed under General
Bravo, President dd interim. So you will perceive
all things concur to bring peace about and it will
happen if the United States make overtures and are
not unreasonable in their demands. e.,
