AEEaIRSIN MEXICO.

The New Orleans papers received yesterday
morning are full of items ofnews from Mexico
via Havana. Bnt The most important have al
ready reached US, by the Princeton. We extract
a few particulars, some OF them in regard 10 the
tue position OF Santa Anna though il would take
Sphynx 10 unraveihe mysteries OF his conducI,
since his arrival in Mexico. We find them in
the Picayunc
Gen. Parades was still prisoner in The castle
of Perote When made prisoner he was on his
way 10 Queretaro, escorted by fifty lancers and
surrounded BY few military friends The de-
tachmenl in pursuit consisted OF 500 troops and
came mp with him al the hacienda OF Ahuehnetcs
on lie 5th OF August. The commander OF these
troops al once minated 10 him the folly OF Tesis-
lance, and he surrendered without struggle
| He was conducted at once 10 the capital, being
treated with perfect courtesy AMI consideration
| He demanded 10 be allowed to leave the country.
This was not though, safe before the revolution
should be completely consummated, and for
| greater security he was, alter remaining several
/ DAYS in Mexico, conducted to Perotc, where he
now lies. Some papers talk OF doing justice
upon him as moaayeha and a traitor, but The
tone OF Gen. Salas is quite Observation-Disclosures
respectful and expressive ofresret that he should b..
subject TO military restraint. Salas submits his
case TO The discretion Santa Anna. We expect 10
| hear soon OF his enlargement. In noting the de-
pariure OF Santa Anna from Vera Cruz on the
! 18th, and the approach Of Gen. Paroles towards
! Peroie al the same moment, Ell Indication e1-
claims, "What a coincidence Inscruabc are
the mysteries of Divine Providence"
Gen. Bravo, The late Vice President, is treated
by the papers with as much regard as when in
power. He has suffered no restraint whatever.
Gen. Salas, who exercised supreme command
| from The 7th 10 The 20lh of August PROCESSES 10
have done as little as possible oil his own will, and
only what was urgently demanded BY the neceSsi-
" Of The case. He boasts, however, that he had
done what he could ito AID The brare men rto M
Monterey hare determined 10 die ratier than sur
cmmb 10 lie inrosion and perlionsness Of ne dine
r,eaas." in his communications to Santa Anna
he urges him 10 hasten 10 Mexico as soon as pcs.
sible 10 assume his powers. The papers commend
him Tor refusing 10 accept the pay OF President
while dischaIsing The functions OF The office.
| On the 18th of August, he issued proclama-
lion, in which he announced TO his coultrymen
that a new insult bad been offered 10 them; that
another act OF baseness had been perpetrated by
the Americans. He alludes 10 the CALIFORNIA;,
which, he says, the Americans have now seized
by the strong hand, afer having villanons'y rob-
| bed Us of Texas. He announces that the expe-
dion which had been so long preparing would
SET forth in Two days Tor the recovery oil the coun-
try, and thai measures would be taken 10 arrange
the differences which had existed between the
people of the CALIFORNIA; and the various prece-
ding central administrations. In conclusion, he
appeals eloquently TO the Caiiornians TO second
with their best exer,ions the attempts which would
he made 10 drive out The Americans, and 10 unite
their rich and fertile territories forever 10 the Re-
| public. The present revolution, he assures them,
is not like the former ones; we know your worth,
