The latest Vera Cruz paper that submitted to
us was dated August 30th. Up TO that lime they
had not heard of the arrival Of Santa Ana at the
capital. Landing al Vera Cruz on the 10Th, he gave
dinner his friends the l7th, len for his haei-
snda of Fl Encerro the 18Th, and al that place re-
ceyed depulation sent TO him from the capital by
Gen. Saas with communication IN which the lat
Ter deVolyes upon the ex President the powers which
had been conferred on himself by the late reyolu-
ton. From that date, we look upon Santa Ana as
welding the whole power Of the country, as further
along we shall more particularly indicate
The news of his arrival at Vera Cruz reached
Mexico on the 18Th August, and the day was cele-
brated as a holyday, aud salyos Of artillery were
6red. In t~o or three days after, General Almonle
and Sedor ReIon arrived In Tie capital.
Gen. Paredes was still prisoner IN the castle OF
Perote. When made prisoner he was on his way
TO Queretaro, escorted by fifty lancers, and sur.
rounded by few military friends. The detach.
ment in pursuit consisted Of 500 troops, aud

lhoaght safe before the revolution should be COM
plelely eonsummated, and for greater security he
was, after remaining several days in Mexico, con.
Quoted TO Peroie, where he now lies. Some papers
talk OF doing justice upon him rs BOndehiSt and
traitor, but the tone Of Gen. Saas is quite other
wise, altogether respectful and expressive OF regret
that he should be subjected to military restraint
