The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1846-07-25

BY the arrival Of the revenue cutter McLane,
Capt. Howard, we nave received udvices from
Havana to The 2dinst, and have gathered from
the officers of the cutter some hints as to the
designs Of Santa Anna upon Mexico, and 9TH
er information Of interest from the Island Of
Cuba.
We are glad to be informed by Capt Howard
that there is not the least prospect that priyn-
teers will be allowed to be fitted out at Havana
10 depredate upon American commerce. It is
the firm determination Of the Spanish Admira!
to allow no evasion Of the treaties between
Spain and the United States This determine
ton the oficols Of the McLane have no doubt
he will religiously adhere to, and Castilian
faith Is Proverbial.
In regard to the two Mexican steamers lying
at Havana, they are still protected by the Eng
fish coIors which they carry. They have been
offered for sale to the authorities Of the ISL
and, and the probability is that the Captain
General will purchase the iron vessel, the Qua
dalupe. The Montezuma is said to be "hog-
ged,n and Of course not worth much. Neither
Of them will be allowed to leave Havana with
the intent to cruise against our commerce.
1t was the general belief in Havana that upon
the arrival of the English steamer of the 9th
inst, for Vera Cruz, Gen, Santa Anna would
leave at once, with his friends Almonte and
Rejon, for Mexico. This determination on the
part Of the ex-President has been formed upon
his receiving assurances that the Castle Of San
Juan de Ulua would upon his arrival declare in
his favor. Gen Santa Anna expressed him
self freely in regard to the war with the United
States, and avowed his resolution Of doing all
in his power to prosecute it vigorously against
us. This is in fact the only course which he
can pursue under the circumstances in which
Mexico is placed, for SO inlamed is the ami.

ing in Mexico, the two great Departments o.
Vera Cruz and Tamaulipas have for some tim
been ripe for throwing off the yoke Of Paroles
and placing Santa Anna again in power. In

tics Of the country, anticipate confidently tina
the next arrival will bring us news that Tamau
lipas has already revolted under Gen. Parrodi
who is a fast friend Of the ex-President. Gu
previous Odvices from the Departments on thu
Pacific, and the latest message of Paroles him
sell, have shown us how extensive is the disaf
lection there. We look then for the downfall
Of Paroles at an early day. In the words o

circumstances seemed to warrant the supposi
ton, that Santa Anna would sail for Vera.Cru
in the English brig Of war Daring; but Cap
Howard doubts If, unde the circumstances, tn
commander of that vessel would, assume til

would arise, whether Commodore Come
