From the New Orleans Picsyune Of Aug Is.
MoRE OF SANTA AsA.-Since our last publication
we have been placed in possession Of intelligence
from Havana which throws more light upon the
movements Of Santa Ana. The letters containing
them were brought hither on the r. Soue, to be de-
liyered personally, from which cause they reached
their destination only on Thursday evening last.
From of these letters dated the 9th instant, we
make an extract
60" The slow, transient English
steamer Arab is chartered sail tonight at eleven
o'clock. She clears for Sisal, land takes with her
Generals Amonte, Beson, we think this should be
Rejon.-Eds.l Santa Ana and family TO Mexico
The Monlezuma has been undergoing repairs, and
tried. few days since, on pleasure excursion,
bat was found to be completely out Of order"
This letter sufficiently accounts for the non-ap-
pearance of Santa Ana at Vera Cruz before the Mis-
sisslppi left there. We announced, as far back as
lot inst upon the arrival Of the Ii that Gen. Bas
adre, former member of Santa Ana's cabinet, sail
ed from Havana for Sisal and thence TO Tobasco on
the 18th Of July. We entertain little doubt that his
expedition was designed TO prepare the way for
Santa Ana, by providing the means of speedy com
municaton along the coast from Tabasco TO Alyara-
do and Vera Cruz, and making other necessary
preparations. The latest accounts we have from
Tabasco represent that department in that state Of
commoton which in Mexico precedes a revolution.
The people were even in advance Of the Vera Cru
zanos, and will no doubt flock TO Santa Anas stand
ard, now that 30 many departments have declared
for him.
We have seen other letters from Havana which
leave no kind Of doubt upon minds that Santa
Ana got of at the time he expected TO do, the 9Th Of
August. We shall expect 10 hear from him next at
Vera Cruz, though fear we may be kept In a
provoking state Of suspense till the next English
steamers adyices reach US, three weeks hence.
YUcArAN-We turned over a file of Yucatan pa
pes yesterday Of the latest dates received from that
peninsula. They confirm entirely the impression
which we had been led to entertain in regard to the
| feelings of the people Of Yueasn towards Mexico
and the United States. No truant schoolboy could
exhibit more eager desire TO make his peace with
village pedagogue than Yucatan manifesis to be re-
ceiyed back into the Mexican union. There is a
great deal Of talking "around and around, about and
about" but the truth is apparent through all dis
guises and pretexts. Having avsiled herself Of the
weakness Of the Mexican confederacy, she attempt
ed to extort some peculiar commercial privileges
from the central government, and she succeeded in
her design. But the central government has been
quite too jealous OF its rights to acquiesce in these
grants extorted from its weakness, and all that Yu-
cstan now desires is TO obtain certain and precise
guaranty from her that Yucstan may hold in perpe-
tuity these commercial advantages. This question
settled in its favor the peninsula s as thoroughly
Mexican at heart any portion Of the country, and
the present display Of independence is but hollow
show. Every paragraph we read in the papers
from the peninsula shows that the population sym
pathize with the central government its dstresses
and II the prayers of the Yucatecos could avail the
army and navy of the United States would be ut
erly worsted in the contest going on. In the mean
| time Yucatan Is driving a very good trade TO and
| from Mexican ports and the money she makes is
the sole consolation she has for standing aloof and
taking no direct part against US.
