The Daring left Vera Cruz on the l7th inst We
compile the following summary chiefly from the
Delta and the Pieayune.
The government Of Paroles has been entirely
oyerIhrown, and he himself made prisoner. The
cities OF Mexico and Puebla have both declared for
federation and Santa Ana
In regard TO the latter, we learn that the English
merchant steamer Arab arrived of Vera Cruz the
morning of the 10th instant, having ON board Gen
Santa Ana and his family, Gen. Almonte, the ex-
ministers Rejon and Haro y Tamarz, Senor ID.
Creseencio Boyes, ex-deputy from Iucatan TO the
Mexican Congress, and several other individuals.
Upon the appearance Of the Arab OFF Vera Cruz,
Commodore Conner repaired an board the steamer
Princeton, and an attempt was made TO intercept the
Arab but the morning calm, and she slipped
into port without hindrance with her valuable
freight. Opinions differ TO the intention Of the
commodore towards Santa Ana, some believing that
he hal no desire TO intercept him. On this subject
we learn by letters received by the United States
brig Perry, at Pensacola, from Havana, that before
Santa Ana left Havana, our consul, Colonel Camp
bell, had conversation with him TO the following
effect Col. c. inquired il the general In favor OF
the war with the United States. To which the gen
era replied, "You know how il is; if the people Of
my country are for war, then | am with them; but
would prefer peace" Before leaving Havana, he
requested and received from Col. Campbell letter
Of Introduction 10 Commodore Conner. He also
took with HIM valuable box Of cigars, intended as
present for tho commodore. Upon arriving off
Vera Cruz, he took good care TO waste time in
the presentation of his letter or cigars.
But 10 recur to the revolution in Mexico Our
adyces are somewhat meagre, but they Of the
most authentic character so far as they 90. We
have seen letter received by an eminent CONNER
cal house Intimately connected with affairs In Mexi
leo from their correspondent in that city. From this
letter tappears that Gen. Salas and portion OF the
garrison OF Mexico pronounced on the 4th inst. in
favor OF the government Of Santa Ana. Although
Gen. Bravo, the Vice President, made some resist
ance, he was compelled TO yield early on the morn
ing Of the 7th inst. Gen. Saas was invested with
the command until the arrival of Santa Ana. sup
ported by Senior Gomez Farias as counsellor. The
latter used his influence with the ministers of Pare
des TO induce them TO continue in the discharge of
their functions.
Theleuer announcing the above intelligence urges,
as seandalous shame, that while the revolution is
going on in Vera Cruz and Mexico, Gen TAYLOR is
advancing with his forces into the Interior opposed
by no force OF any consideration. This is denoun-
ced as the more dIsgucefu inasmuch as by the con-
summation OF the revolution, 5000 troops from
Guadaajara and 900 from the city Of Mexico are
now at liberty TO move at once to the frontier, and
these united TO the army Of the north would he aLe
TO make head against the invaders.
The same letter announces that some sdyenturers
from the United States, supported by the crew of
sloop-of-war, had taken possession Of the port Of
Monterey, IN California and the writer adds: God
knows what will be the result Of this movement, as
well as the invasion made by the way of New Mex
ico." In converslDg with Capt. Matson, we learn
that the ntelgence Of the success Of arms upon
the Pacific was by no means new at Vera Cruz, il
having been received many days before the Daring
sailed for this port.
Santa Ana was received at Vera Cruz with every
demonstration Of enthusiasm and Joy.
We learn that Paredes was taken prisoner and
confined, as II was his manifest intention to employ
the troops, equipped for the army Of the north 10
oppose the advance Of Santa Ana from Vera Cruz
instead of marching against General Taylor. The
revolution IN the city Of Mexico followed imme-
dately upon the announcement Of the declaration in
Vera Cruz on the 3lst ut Some accounts say that
General Paroles is confined in the castle of Perote
instead Of Mexico.
Although few Mexican papers were received by
the Daring, we were not fortunate as to obtain
the use Of them, and they were forwarded 10 Wash
ngton by yesterdays mail
We take the following from the Daily Delta.
Santa Ana.
We yesterday were incidentally informed that
one Of the British naval officers from the Daring,
who came up to the city, said in private conversa-
ton that Santa Ana had arrived Immediately off
Vera Cruz before the Daring sailed, and that Com.
Conner had made him prisoner. This statement
may not be correct but when Santa Ana should
have reached there-as reached there he has before
this-we cannot see how Com. Conner can recon
cile 1t to his duty to let him pass into Vera Cruz,
unless, indeed, Capt Mackenzie had a purpose for
visiting Havana, besides making inquiry in refer
ence to the fitting out of prvateers--unless in other
and palmer language, the government has the
rance OF Santa Ana, that on assuming power, he
will negotiate an honorable peace and on equitable
terms IL there be not such understanding, it
would be an act of magnanmity without precedent
to let Santa Ana pass the blockade. Com. Conner
Is Oft Vera Cruz for the purpose Of preventing the
enemy from receiving succor or assistance, whether
m nf Of
&C. Santa Ana goes there ostensibly to render them
that assstance and unless he has given our govern
ment satisfactory guaranty that he goes not to
prolong the war, but to effect peace, il would be
madness to permit him to land at Vera Cruz. As
wel-so far as the principle involved is concerned
might an army of ten thousand men from Yucca
tan or elsewhere be permitted to make peaceful
entry.
The Delta had received by the schooner F. A
elusive. 1t says
Ell Diario de la Marina states that on the evening
OF the 9Th, the British merchant steamer Arab left
that port for Sisal, Yucatan carrying board Gen.
Santa Ana, with his lady and family, together with
General Almonte, the ex-ministers Rejon and Haro
y Tamoriz, and Don Crescencio Boves, ex-deputy
for fucatan to the Mexican Congress, and several
other persons.
La prensa states that General Santa Ana had
chartered the Arab for the sum of 1900 dollars, in
order that it should take him and his family to Vera
Cruz and that General Almonte, with the ex-minis-
ters Rejon and Haro Tamoriz, would leave on
board the British mail steamer, in order to make
preparations for his reception in Vera Cruz.
We do not believe that General Santa Ana would
land at Slsal in order to proceed to Vera Cruz by
land, as 1t would take him about one month to reach
the latter city through very bad roads Still, the
Arab was reported cleared and departed for Sisal
We also see it stated in the Dinio de la Marina
that the commander-in-chief of the Cuba navy had
purchased the Mexican steamers Guadalupe
and Montezuma, and, as that paper adds, they have
been obtained under the most advantageous circum-
stances. :....o
The news relating to the avowals of the British
ministry in reference to the reduction of duties on
sugar, has given rise TO much hopeful solicit,lde
among the majority Of the Cuba planters, who will
undoubtedly derive great advantage from the con-
templated change. $685..
