passed through our city This morning in
disguise, and before it was ascertalned thai
such was The case, he was far out of ouI
reach on his way to the city Of Mexico,
lie arrived this morning on the ruya
mail steamer Teviot, under an assumed
name, and entirely unknown 10 The cap
tain of the vessel. As soon as the vesSe
came TO anchor he Immediately came 10
The Mole in a pilot boat, aud proceeded
10 the heart of The city to The residence ol
a Mexican merchant, 10 whom he made
himself known, and obtained from him a
round Jacket, sumbrero and horses fol
himself and servant and "bamosed The
ranch" without ceremony. One hundred
dollars reward was offered for his arrest as
soon lis information reached Col. Wilson
that he was or had been in tho city, aud
every effort was made to arrest him, but
the '.bird had flown" and given US a spe-
cimen of assurance and cunning th Al would
do credit to The father of Yankee tricks.
The Mexican merchant who assisted in
the escape is Pepe Zamora, and during
the search for Paroles his house was sur.
rounded. The officer entered and was
assured by Sr. Zamora tina, Paredes was
not in the house. elias he been here,'
was the question asked, YES" replied
Zamora, very cooly, "What did he
want" asked The American. "lle in,rodu.
ced himself to me as Gen. Paredes, and
asked ME 10 befriend him, and [ lcld him
that would. He then asked ME 10 lei
him have jacket, hat and horses, which
furnished him Immediately. and he has
been soue from hear TWO hours. You are
welcome TO search, but can assure you
that you will moi find him here and what
Tell you is so. There are his ccat and
hat. which you can take along il you like"
| forgot TO mention that letter was
sent by The American Consul at Havana
informing the authorities here that Gen.
Parcdcs was OH board, but il came 10 hand
loo late to do any good,
There is hardly an American here but
what felt That he could crawl through a
simlet hole when The astounding news
that Paredes, the sworn enemy 10 Santa
Anna, 10 Americans and to peace, and The
only man who at the present situation Of
affairs can partially restore the confidence
Of The Mexican people and inspire them
once more with a hope to conquer their
enemies, had passed, unknown and unmo-
lested, into aud out OF The gates Of our city.
He will no doub, make every effort to reach
Mexico before Gen. Scott does. The
consequence will 20 doubt be the overthrow
of Santa Anna, and Must likely be will
take in hands the reins of Government,
crush all attempts a, negotiation, aud head
The army in person against Gen. Scott,
should he think it expedienI; buff not, fall
back to some place beyond the city and
prepare himself for another and perhaps
better occasion. At all events he is just
the man that the Mexicans have been
wanting ever since The battle of Cerro
Gordo, and now that ho is with them once
more, there is no telling what mighty
events may be result of his return from
exile.
Zaballa, a Mexican. whom, it will he
remembered, stabbed three Americans
about two weeks ago, has been Tried and
condemned TO twenty years solitary con-
fnemeut. This grand scoundfcI has com.
miiteed no less than four murders, besides
dangerously wounding others, and when
the ci'y was surrendered he was turned
over to Tie new authorities as notorious
scoundrel, and Mr.. llollziner was partially
charged TO see, that by no means this man
shruld be- sci at liberty or allowed to es-
cape, but still he let him lose, with pack
of other cut Ihroals 10 try their hands upon
the Americans, aud many of Them have
gone and joined The guerrillas.
