of the following most important intelligence from
Mexico. The news was received by Il British

patches from the British Minister at Mexico, for
his Government.
The purpor of these dispatches is, that the
United States forces had taken possession of the

Santa Anna is complete. We publish the fol-
lowing letter from which it will be perceived that

Anna to bring about the Revolution. His sons
have come down here to welcome Santa Anna

every day. Gen. Paredes was taken prisoner,

Adviccs have been received by express, of the
formal annexation of the CALIFORNIA; to the Uni

British Minister'S dispatches to New Orleans
and to England. The whole country has dccla-
red for Santa Anna, who left Havana for here
on the Arab steamer, but has not yet arrived,
which makes his friends rather anxious for his
safety.

in a postscript says that the British brig of war
Daring arrived off the Balize last evening from
Vera Cruz, and two of her officers came up to
town this morning with the mail and dispatches.
The steamer Arab arrived off Vera Cruz 10th

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL.
The mail from the South last night brought us
Extras from the New Orleans Times, Picayune
and Bee, of the Gath August, II A. M, Their
contents are given above. The New Orleans
Bee, in announcing the "annexation" of Cali
fornia to the United States, adds-some suppose
that this means that Commodore Sloat has taken
possession of the country.
The Picayune in postscript, says
News has been received in Mexico that Mon
tcrey in California has been seized by one of the
vessels of the Pacific squadron. Another ac-
count says that all California has yielded TO the
Americans.
The same paper says
Before Santa Anna left Havana he took letters
from Gen. Campbell to Commodore Conner,
and avowed himself in reply TO some inquiries
as to his intentions, as lolows;-"lf the people
of my country are for war, then am with them,
but wouldPrcicr peace"
