! have but moment in which TO say word
about affairs in Cuba Public curiosity is tpoe TO
ascertain object OF General Almontc vsi, Havana
He in the last steamer from Vera Cruz, on his
way England Immediately after his arrival he set
for the country Of Santa Ana with whom he has
been closeted for some days.
More than ordinary interest sfe here in Mexican affairs
The recent news from Europe. which distinctly tore
shadows design erect throne in Mexico, and place
upon 1t sprig OF the Spanish monarchy, with ample
guarantees for its perpcus,ion as permanent counter
poisc the increasing power of the Union meets with
enthusiastic reception here Why Spain has been
selected furnish this missionary to Mexico IL is not
easy to divine.

no, only in Europe but after this in America Is TO be
enforced NJ. GuzOts =" balance Of power is now 10 be

Uoratlos. What Spain could lut do ia Mexico twenty
years ago she cannot DO Ills ae country fer rev
olutons but very in matters OF good government
Sncu the urriva: or Gen. Almone the press has been
s silent as The tomb before they talked handsomely of
the restoration OF Spain TO her legitimate rights In Mex
leo. Annexation TO the United States was awful; but
very different matter If applied 10 Spain But now all Is
hushed-no more is said-no wish uttered-because,
forsooth the erection OF throne Is sacred work. TO be
performed well in silence Santa Ana and Gen. Amonte
have given encouragement to this wild scheme.
Paredes Is their dupe. mere mouth.piece 70 utter
what they wish uttered but as ignorant OF the real views
Santa Ana he incapable Of extending bis rule In
Mexico. | am greatly at fault II Santa Ana has not dis
,ncty stated that II was utterly Impossible TO cstaosh

have reason 10 believe that these are the views OF
both Santa Ana and General Aimon,e and believe
both these iunctiOusries while they have openly aided
the movement OF the European monArchs.s have done
SO with of driving the people u overiurn their
present and thus the popular current in their
own favor. Public opinion in Mexico cannot be measur-

Then let Ana step forward and esouse the cause
of the people promise them hberty-a word that hath
charms for Spsnisrd than for American even
and how complete will be his restoration !
Having knowledge of the peculiar construction
public sentiment in Mexico am prepared 20 believe
that such events as have stated will happen IN
that country. When the fruit Is ripe il will be gathered

elements of revolution always disordery are TOO much

such change. Besides he knows the aosurdiy oil al AZ

policy is peace; but if come it comes with
condition that the battles must be n America and
some OF them upon British soil. These things Santa
Ana understands well as the most sasscious American
