Mexico Before Santa Ana left Havana, 1t 10 stated
the authority Of letters from that place, that Consul
Col Campbell inquired OF him IL he in favor Of the
war with tho United States; to which he replied. You

most uncomprsmsng and inheIi5le hostility towards the
United States and sgus So that be has been DESTROYS
TO hear Of the Of Santa Ana the only who
would be likely combine in his favor all the elements OF

AIRY We have doubt therefore, that Santa

characterized by that MODERATION which, the existing

the admission OF that State into the American Union
ought certainly be exhibited by the American government
highly probable that the War may be terminated
