The British steamship Arab arrived off the
Balize the nigh, Of Wednesday last, The 9th
inst, having left Vera Cruz on the afternoon OF
the 3ls. inst, a. o'clock. The Arab. i, will
be recollected, is the vessel which conveyed
Santa Anna 10 Vera Cruz
The mos, imporlan, news by the Arab touch.
es the arrival of Santa Anna al Vera Cruz
On this point we are able to speak upon the
authority of Mr. O'NeiI, one of the owners of
the Arab, who made The voyage from Havana
with Santa Anna The General had previous
ly assured Mr. O'Nei ,ha, there would be no
occasion to run the blockade---.ha, the vessel
would be permitted to enter wl,hou. any diff
Guilty. When the Arab arrived oil Vera Cruz,
they deserted the ST. Mary's, and the Arab i'm
mediately bore up for her. The ST. Mary's
sent boat 10 the Arab, with first lieutenant
on board. Upon reaching her he encountered
Gen. Almonle, whom he recognized, with whom
he exchanged sslu.a,ions. BY Gen. Almon'e
the lieutenan, was conducted 10 Gen. Santa
Anna, who was lying in his berth quite ILL.,
Then short interview took place, and when
the lieutenant reappeared on deck, he gave the
owners permission 10 pass The blockade.
An account received by commercial house
represents that the suite of Santa Anna evinced
much emotion and even alarm, when boarded,
bu. sha, the General himself was perfectly calm
and apparently expected the visit. Ii is further
added that the General delivered a letter TO the
officer who boarded the boat, which produced
the desired effect.
Recurring again 10 Mr.. ONeils communica-
ton to US, we learn that when Santa Anna Lam
ded he was received bu. by few frends-ihat
the reception was not public one, and that il
was no, marked by much enthusiasm. Santa
Anna himself was evidently disappointed by
the reception given 10 him. His health con-
iinued infrm up TO the time of the departure of
the Arab. He was able, however, after his
arrival, 10 entertain at a public dinner at the
palace in Vera Cruz, a large number Of civil
disnilaries and military officers. A, the dinner
a more favorable disposition was manifested
towards the General and there was some sp.
pearance Of enthusiasm.
Subsequently, on his way TO the capital, he
stopped a, his hacienda, Ell Encerro, in the vi
ciniiy Of Jalapa, where he remained up 10 The
latest accounts received from him. He would
leave there for the city of Mexico at the very
earliest momen. his health would permit.
Tha, his presence in the field may be VI.
gently required, is manifest from another i'm.
porlan, fact which we learn by his arrival..---
The army stationed at San Luis Potosi has de-
clared again in favor of Paredes! Paredes, by
the way, is prisoner in the Castle Of Pcro,e,
as was rumored when the Daring leh Vera
Cruz The declaration of the army a, San Lu-
is in favor Of Paredes was generally believed in
city Of Mexico when Mr.. O'Nel left there, and
We learn by commercial letter from Vera
Cruz that i. was also fully credited there.
Mr.. O'Neil represents that i. is extremely
difficult TO arrive at any conclusion as TO the
state of popular feeling in regard TO the differ
eni aspiran.s for power in Mexico. Among
commercial men, and in fac, among all classes
not Immediately connected with the military,
tho utmost apathy aud Indifference appear TO
reign.
The day The Arab left, flag Of truce was
sent ashore by Com Conner, and the same oc-
cuHenee had taken place on two or three oc.
caslons previously. We have, of course, no
clue 10 The communications inlerchanged, but
as The Daring arrived a, the mouth of The river
the day prior TO The Arabs departure, it was
